In many oases, the late sowing will give only a light yield of inferior quality. Important as it ii, viulity is not the ...uly good quality required to make eeed profitable. Some seeds come from prolific clock and will produce plant* of the same quality, while others, which look equally well and will germinate just as readily, come from plants which gave only a light yield, and will thtnuelvee be comparatively unproductive.

[Dola Kay "Deepening The Plowing- During th* fall plowing is the best time to deepen the plowing, as the new soil will be greatly benefited by the action of freezing and thawing, rain and snow, dnrinp the winter. The character of ths subsoil should, however, in a great meas ire, determine the depth of plowing. A hard pan subsoil had best be left if it deep. With clay, a suhxiil pbw can used to a good advantage at this would deepen the soil without bringing the un- productive subsoil to the surface. A soil that has an unproductive soil undsrneaib, vet reasonably near the surface, can bs benefited m ire by deep stirring than deep blowing, while a loamy soil ef sufficient depth to admit of deep plowing without bringing to the surface unproductive soil, wi.l l gre.tly benefited by deep plowing. ' The mau who sows tho but deal toward securing a large visld. H* make* aa excellent Uginning, but, in order that his hopes regarding the crop may be fully reelixro!. b* must cotnpl plowing. Often there will b* plenty of latent fertility in the subsoil that iT>odi only the action of the air and other *!*innU to make it available. Th* deeper the soil and the larger th* avaiUlde supply of plant food, the better will the soil retain moia- tur* aad the more surely will it grow good crops. By plowing this kind of soil deep in the 'ail, considerable benefit may be derived. lint even then it may cot beb**t to plow too deep at oa* lime, and especially the case when shallow plowing ha. been follow- ed for some years and the lea liny of th* ust- in nearly all cases is to Ja*-wi f raduaftyta little at each plowing. y Better read., wi'.l be scoured in plowing land deonvr for the first tune if it it left ly ' ,, ,. 1 .,,,,, ly with all the other conditions upon which rnnplately succestfiil , peodf.
