About Plows. Disk plows have in recent years come into use, writes C. W. Burkett in American Agriculturist I like them for the light types of soil when free from stones, gravel and roots and rather abundantly supplied with vegetable matter In sticky soils where the moldboard plow will not scour the disk is popular. In soils where the moldboard type works well there is little to gain by using the disk. The draft of the latter is often greater and the plow itself is clumsy. The disk is better for very dry land and often is the only means for plowing such.
