To prepare for plowing, the stalks are broken with a rail, as before, and then usually gone over with a sharp disk, to cut them up. The stalk-cutter is also in general use. This implement has heavy revolving cylinders set with knives that cut the stalks in twelve inch lengths. Where the stalks are heavy it is more satisfactory than the disk harrow, although the stalk-cutter is often followed also with a disk-harrow. TIME OF PLOWING 113. When land is fall-plowed it is exposed more completely to the action of frost, thus giving a finer state of pulverization. This is often an advantage with heavy soils, but in light soils it may actually be a disadvantage. Also, when a cover crop is to be turned under, there is more time for decomposition when turned under in the fall. When the soil is infested with the larva? of injurious insects, fall plowing just as freezing weather begins will often destroy many of these.
