CAMPBELL'S SOIL CULTURE MANUAL 231 



steel lever harrow slightly slanted going both with the 

 disk and lever harrow same direction as the team traveled 

 in breaking. If care is taken in plowing, then in rolling, 

 then in disking, you will have about two inches of loose 

 soil. Harrow thoroughly after each rain. If this is fully 

 accomplished the sod will not only be fully rotted in a 

 very short time, but the top of the sub-soil beneath will also 

 become rotted to a depth of two or three inches. As soon as 

 this is found to be true, then begin back setting or plowing 

 with the stubble plow, cutting about two and one-half 

 inches deeper; follow the plow with the packer as explained 

 under the head of Plowing and Sub-Packing, then follow 

 with the harrow, any good harrow, getting it all fine 

 and firm before it has time to dry out. Look well to the 

 storage of later rains and be ready to loosen the surface in 

 early spring with the harrow and put in your seed fairly 

 early, governed largely by the locality, using not over ten 

 pounds of good seed with a shoe drill and chain cover. 

 If your work is all well done, as outlined, you need 

 have no fears of the result.
