To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
For thin clay soils subsoiling is better than very deep plowing, because it does not turn the compact clay to the surface, yet at the same time loosens the soil to a good depth. The plowing should not be at the same depth from year to year, as by such a practice the soil is not mixed well and a hard surface is left at the bottom of the furrows where the horses walk and the plows drag. A little subsoil turned to the surface occasionally allows the elements to act upon it, liberating plant food, ...and as it becomes mingled with surface soil and vegetable growth the soil depth will be increased. To accomplish these desired results it is well to plow a lit- tle deeper each year for several successive seasons, and then for one season give a plowing at about half the depth of the deepest plowing. It is well to have the farm mapped, the various fields numbered, and records kept of the annual treatment and production of each field. PLANTING. Throughout all corn-growing sections of the country it is the general ex- perience that corn planted early most often gives the best yield.
