At the Oklahoma Experiment Station, three plots were plowed on dates indicated in the table in ^ 446. In the early plow- ing, the soil was moist and readily formed a mellow bed that absorbed and largely retained the summer rains. The medium late breaking broke up lumpy and was drier, while the very late breaking was so weedy, and broke up so lumpy that it required about eight times as much labor to get the land in reasonably fair condition for Please note that these images are extracted from scanned page images that may have been digitally enhanced for readability - coloration and appearance of these illustrations may not perfectly resemble the original Ferguson, A.
