DEEP PLOUGHING AND SUB-SOILING,
Experience is the great teacher in farrn
ng. Without it, successful agriculture is
ilmost impossible. With it we can make
>ur business profitable and our lands pro
luetive. Past experience teaches us that
ieep ploughing is absolutely necessary on
ilmost every farm, in order to get the
lighest profit from the soil. The reasons
br this are plain to every practical farmer;
jut as some of our readers may not have
•onsidered the subject in all its hearings,
>ve present the advantages of deep plough
in'. First: the space in depth to which
he roots of till crops penetrate, and from
ivhich they derive nourishment, is limited
•hietlv by the extent to which the plough
tas run. Beneath that point, especially
ti clay soils, the roots make but little
progress. Second : the unbroken sub-soil
,vben composed of clay, is not easily pen
trated by rain. Hence, after the plough
'd soil Inis become saturated, the surplus
vater escapes from the surface, olten car
ving off valuable portions of fertility,
jeep ploughing prevents this washing
m ay of the surface. Third: a deeply
noken soil is a store-house for moisture,
milling a portion always in reserve lor
icriods of drought. When the sun, the
ur, and the growing crop have taken up
he surface moisture, some of the roots are
Ieep down in the earth, where the supply
s abundant. Again, this moisture from
iclow constantly rises toward the top dur
ng a drought, by capillary attraction. It
ilso brings with it some elements of fer
ilitv in solution, nnd as the evaporation
'oea on, these much enrich the surface
mil.
i he above statement may be regarded
is scientific facts in agriculture. We have
iten farms that were “run out” by thin,
'Imllow ploughing. The plantations of
he Southern States, from Virginia to the
Julf, all exhibit the sad effects of shallow
•ultivation. We have, also, frequently
ieen farmers in the Middle and New Eng
and States whose fertility and productive
iess were reduced fifty per cent, by
ploughing thin—by merely scratching the
•ui lace to the depth of only three or four
nches. The result of this evil practice is
i regular and systematic depreciation of
lie land, with" a certain decimation of
nips every year. The late Professor
Mapes, one of the most scholarly and
practical of American agriculturists, was
in advocate of deep ploughing; and his
>wn estate, in New Jersey, is to-day an
n idenee of the correctness of deep culti
vation. lie doubled the value of his land
ind more than doubled h.'s annual crops,
>y ploughing deep.
Sob-soiling land—of which Mapes was
he pioneer in this country—is also of
rreat advantage. l$y this means the bot
om of the furrow is thoroughly broken
uni pulverized, without being turned up.
this being done, the surface plough then
brows its next furrow upon this loosened
portion of the sub-soil, and the sub-soil
plough following again, breaks another
portion and so the process is continued
till the whole field has its surface stirred
to a depth which cannot ordinarily be
reached by any one plough operating
alone. The benefits of su!>-soiling are
similar to those of deep ploughing. It
opens up a new source of fertility, for the
-ub-soil always contains more or less of
mineral substances demanded by the
growing crop. It also gives a deeper space
lor tile circulation ami retention of air
ind moisture, which is a perfect antidote
to drought. Again, it the soil is level,
and of such a character as to retain too
much of the rain-fall, then the newiy
broken sub-soil lets it pass off more free
ly from tlio surface soil. On lands not
thoroughly drained, we presume the sub
MiiJ plough would not lie of so great an
advantage.
Another peculiar benefit which sub-soil
ing lias over ordinary deep ploughing is
that it gives a deeply pulverized mass,
without exposing upon the surface that
portion which is often not adapted to most
crops. On a tenacious clay, which some
times forms a hard crust, there would cer
tainly be no advantage in sub-soiling;
but for a majority of soils we would follow
the experience of Professor Mapes—we
.hotiid plough deep and sub-soil all land
Adapted to thorough cultivation.
