The bulletin OF the Storrs school sgri-
cultural experiment station contains de
tailed accounts OF experiments on the u.
fects OF tilage on soil moisture Eight
deep caves were filed with different kinds
Of soil Some had the surface stirred to
recorded depths aud others were let alone.
All were repeatedly tested for loss OF water
by evaporation. The summing up. which
follows detailed figures, is M follows.
"The lesson which these experiments i'll
ustrate, and others explain more fully, in
the value OF surface tillage. 1t is not sim
ply for the sake OF killing weeds that the
farmer hoes his corn. Weeds are his eIe-
mics, but drought is worse. and the mois
ture Is often insufficient for full yield even
when no drought is apparent. The oil
has reserve stores of water for bis crop,
but in summer the supply gets low, and
the same force OF capillarity which brings
il up to where the roots Of his plant can
get it, carries il past them 10 the surface
where the suns heat changes it 10 vapor
and winde bear it away. Hoeing and cul.
tivating loosen the upper layer OF the soil
The pores through which the water Is
drawn up are thus enlarged. and the con.
nection between them is lroken; capillary
action is consequently rendered and less
water passes through. At the same time
more air enters, and the looseped layer
conducts less heat to the soil beneath
The loosened layer acts as cooler. while
1t prevents the water from reaching the
surface and thus In twofold manner pro
tects the rising moisture from evapora
ton. In this way the wise cultivator uses
the forces Of nature to bring water to the
roots Of the plants and at the same time to
prevent its passing by them and escaping
into the air. The water is freighted with
plant-food part OF it dissolved from the
soil about the roots and part derived
from the cir above. So the crops are
nourished and the yield to the land in
creased.
