Garden Lore xi 
Fall plowing now demands our attention. With minor 
exceptions all the land which is to be put under cultivation 
next year should be plowed before freezing. It is not nec- 
essary nor desirable to turn the furrows smooth and flat 
as in spring plowing. If the land is left quite rough, the 
action of the frost during the winter will be more effective 
in breaking up the soil and reducing it to a fine powder. 
OLp FarmMer’s ALMANAC 
It should not be forgotten that all the heavier soils are 
improved by fall plowing, which should be pushed when- 
ever opportunity offers. Otp Farmer’s ALMANAC 
’Tis the farmer’s care that makes the field bear. 
OLD PROVERB 
Perfect tilth, no less than suitable enrichment, is essen- 
tial for bumper crops. Oxp Farmer’s ALMANAC 
Nature will always find some mischief to do in idle land. 
Give her the opportunity and you shall repent in another 
season when you find redoubled labor essential to keep the 
garden clear of noxious growths. Otp FarMer’s ALMANAC 
In the garden more grows than the gardener sows. 
: Otp PRovERB 
The rich garden soil from which you have taken an early 
crop will bear weeds if you do not put it to use for produc- 
tion of something better. Otp FARrMER’s ALMANAC 
A weed, as it grows from an inch to a foot high, increases 
a thousand-fold in bulk or weight, and exhausts the soil in 
proportion. Oxp FarMer’s ALMANAC
