JUDGING PLOWING 



93 



This picture of fall plowing and the two following were taken in the 

 same field, on the same day, the different appearances of the soil being 

 caused by the curvature of the mouldboards of the plows doing the work- 

 The soil was a clay loam. If the ground were to be left as plowed 

 through the winter it is obvious that this kind of plowing would be 

 better than either of the other two because being rough it would not 

 run together and become compacted by the spring thaws and rains. 



This field can be easier worked into a seed bed than that shown above 

 but not so easily as that shown on page ninety-four, hence it would not be 

 regarded so good plowing for spring planting or immediate seeding as 

 the other two.
