some of the criticisms indulged)
in by certain politician-candi-)
dates, and while he says that he!
expects criticism at the hands of I
the people, he does not relish
some unjust charges recently
made regarding his use of the
state rangers. The following is
his statement :
“My attention has been called
the frost goes out of the soil it
will be so loose that air can pen-
etrate to a great depth and
chemical action be better.
The manures in the surface
soil are disintegrated and some
of them are washed down to the
depth the frost has gone.
The result following is that
the roots of the plants seek the
cool, moist earth below if there
be in it plenty of plant food, and
the plants supported by the
Foots are the more able to resist
many droughts that may come
in summer.
Where droughts are common
it is desirable to have plant roots
go as deeply as possible.
Fall-plowed land will also be
found freer from cutworms and
other injurious insects in the
spring. Some of these insects
try to get below the frost line or
at least to a point where freez-
ing and. thawing in the early
spring is not possible. The
plowing of the land turns up
these insects, and. though they
may be still covered by the soil,
leaves the ground so loose about
them that they freeze,and in this
way they are killed.
While fall plowing does not en-
tirely wipe out all the cutworms
that may be in the ground it will
greatly lessen their number.
This point alone is enough to
justify the plowing of land in

As much plowing as possible
should be done in the fall. The
soil thus turned up is exposed
to the frosts of winter, and
they penetrate it to a consider-
able depth. Soils that are cov-
ed with sod are not penetrated
more than half as deep by the
frosts as those soils that are
recently plowed in the fall.
It is desirable to loosen the
earth below the depth to which
the plow goes. This is especially
valuable in clay soils. When
ground is plowed well before
the coming of frost the soil will
often be frozen fo the.depth of
twenty inches. This means that
every particle to that depth is
moved to a certain extent. The
expansion of the particles of
moisture pushes apart and
breaks up the most retentive
soils.
Clay soil that has been well
drained is in this way made
more friable to a gieat depth,
and when spring conies and the the fall.—Ex
