At theOklahoma Experiment Station, three plots were plowedon dates indicated in the table in H 446. In the early plow-ing, the soil was moist and readily formed a mellow bedthat absorbed and largely retained the summer medium late breaking broke up lumpy and was drier,while the very late breaking was so weedy, and broke upso lumpy that it required about eight times as much laborto get the land in reasonably fair condition for seeding. 310 Elementary Principles of Agriculture
