SOIL MOISTURE DURING oRoueH1s

Conclusions Drawn From Results Gained at
the Minnesota Experiment Station.
Experiments conducted by S. b.
Green at the Minnesota station prove
that the addition of organic matter or
humus to the soil increases its water
holding and consequently drought re-
sisting qualities. The water TRANSFERRED
by the crops cannot be reduced, but UNI
necessary plants and useless weeds may
be removed. The soakage to the subsoil
will largely return in dry weather, and
the addition of humus will hold it.
Loose soil with rough surface will
absorb all the rainfall that is good for
it if it be cross plowed on slopes and
terraced on hillsides. The prime factor,
however, in robbing the soil Of its
moisture is the evaporation from the
surface, and this is to be overcome in
all possible ways in dry seasons and in
arid regions.
Anything that breaks the force of the
wind may make the difference between
success and failure in growing crops by
lessening the evaporation. Thus the
amount of water remaining in the up
per IL inches of the soil OH one acre was
increased by 1,700 barrels by the use of
a mulch of straw or of barnyard litter.
It's influence extended for several feet
in depth into the soil, thus favorably
affecting even the long roots of corn and
other field crops during the drought. A
circular plat of land six feet in dame
ter around tree may have its constant
content of water increased during
drought to the extent of eight gallons
by thick mulch, and the difference
between success and failure in many
garden crops may be a covering of straw
or hay. Keeping the surface soil mellow
will also prevent the hot air from dry
ing up the ground and blasting the crop.

Hold Your Corn.

Some people are heard to say that
farmers realize about as much money
for half crop as for full crop of corn,
the market price being SO much higher
in years of shortage. That is mistaken
view of the matter, being based upon
the assumption that our corn is mainly
n commercial crop The truth is, says
the Iowa Crop Review, that even i'll
years of greatest abundance not more
than about ~ per cent Of tho corn pro-
duced in Iowa is shipped out of the
state. The vast bulk of it, year by year,
is not transported across county line,
but it is mostly used as raw material in
the manufacture of pork, beef, mutton,
wool, dairy products and horseflesh.
For this purpose 90 or 25 cent corn is
worth as much as 80 cent corn, and the
manufactured products this year are not
higher on the average than they were
in years of bountiful crops. The Iowa
farmers, rs q whole, will DO buyers and
not sellers of corn in the coming ~
months.
They will require all they have raised
"hu 40 lluOh ihuIO, vi itS StluiN1lShO al
feed stuffs, to keep and fatten their own
stock. Hold your corn" is good
motto for Iowa farmers this year, not
for higher prices, but for tho wintering
and fattening of their own herds. There
is no profit i'll growing corn for the
market in any year, much less in such
season Of drought as we have expert
enced in 1894

Amount of Seed wheat to Sow.

Attention is called to tho Indifference
in tho quantity of actual seed there may
DO in bushels of different wheat, result
ing from the size of tho grains, even
when of the same variety. 1t has been
noted at the Iowa experiment station
that one bushel Of variety grown in
California contained only 489, $40
grains, while bushel of Turkey Red
from Iowa had 1884, 693 grains, on
about 3 * times as many. Other bushels
of tho same variety, one from Iowa and
one grown in Kansas, had upward of
900, 900 grains each. With these facts
in mind, it is therefore evident that
while two men may DO agreed that a
'bushel' of wheat is about the proper
quantity to SOW on an acre or some 9th j.
er given area, and proceed on that basis,
one may be seeding twice or more than
twice as heavily as the other.
