One thing I am in favor of is rolling the ground after the crop is sowed and leaving it rolled. The most of farmers leave rolling until all done seeding and then do it, but I am convinced it is a wrong practice. \Ve get the same re- sults as I spoke of before, a hard sur- face conducive of evaImration. I would say roll right after sowing and give a. stroke with the llght harrows. 1 bhould the ground be cultivated rather 1face just where we want it. _ ever deep in the. sprihg, it will make it solid and moisture again comes to the sur« As a. proof of this let me ask you did you notice in a loose field in the morning the footprints of the horses’ hoofs as they sink in was quite moist. It could not he dew, because dew falls alike. It cannot be rain. 50 how do you account for it? It is this. The horse. presses the soil firmly and capillary action is started’iight to the surface. I say roll, and roll it firmly, and then give it a, stroke with the harrows. But somebody may say if it rains it will get hard and bake worse than it would have before. I say if it rains, harrow again. Money has gone into the ground, keep it there. Now, in conclusion, let me sum up. ‘When you enter a field let this. he your objectâ€"good preparation, Weed destruction. and moisture preserva- tion. Tell your hired man what you want.

Nature has a method of checking it. namely, the loosening of the surface by the action of the irost, and tho appcarancc of vegetation acting as a mulch and pre- venting the rain from dashing on it, rendering it hard and causing rapid evaporation. \V'hen we plow the land in the fall Wc stop nature’s method by destroying plant-life. Of course we have tllu action of the frost, but it is not sufficient to withstand the. rain, Experimean have proven that, to have a half finish of loose soil as a. mulch, gh es us the same results as nature docs, and cvapolation by capillary action is checked. It would scem to us that to llall'ow all our fields over as soon as We can in the sprin r, is useless ‘la'oor' and a waste of time, but bearing these things in mind I think We would receive laiger crops, because a field will evaporate in one hot Veek in spring enough moisture to cause six weeks’ growih, providing it is allowed to lwcomc halu’d and hard, as agrcat deal of our SUll does, our time spent in harrowng Will be well paid. I willgive you an example of the benefit of a. soil mulch. I put in an early crop of potatoes and liar-rowed them frequently, till they came up, and thcn started to scuffle as soon as I could follow the rows. \Ve, had a dry spring, and you could go any time and scratch the loose ground aside and thc ground was as moist as could be. Now, brother farmers, don’t you for- get to put a soil mulch on your crops next spring and keep it therc. Put one on your wheat fields with the har- rows. If the rain spoils it, put an- other on ; they are Worth the time vegetation acting as u mulch venting the min from dust. l-ondemng it, hard and cum evapnmt-mn. \Vhen we plm‘ in me full Wt‘ stop nature’s u destmying plant-life. 0f 6 have the action (If the frost, not, sufficient to withstand Experimean have provon th 2L half finish of hmse soil as gh es us the suuw results a does, and H'upmzutiou by ucliun is checked.
