EXPERIENCE TALKS.
Mr.. Chas. H. Wicken gave 1t as his
experience that the thorough harrow
INK OF lueene In the late fall prevented
ths growth Of weeds and allowed the
moisture OF the winter season TO per-
coate into the soil. He advocated
the construction Of reservoirs, large and
small, wherever and whenever possible,
for the storage Of water.
Mr. Geo. Austin, superintendent OF
the agricultural department OF the Lehi
sugar factory, was called upon and
made very Interesting talk. He said
that In view Of the condition OF a scar
city Of water which confronts the state,
the manner Of cultivation pursued by
the farmer has a great deal TO do with
the water supply. He advocated high
cultivation, deep blowing and harrow
Ing AZ great essentials In agriculture.
Instead Of spending much OF the late
fall time IN "Oafing'' It would be much
more Profitable TO do as much fall
ploving as possible This results In
The reception and retention by the loos-
ened sol q the moisture precipitated
In the winter, He also advocated fall
irrigation, because the water thus
spread out upon and into the land
would hNeits effect IN the hot and dry
eumrntr season. The narrowing Of
ucsrne IN the fall Is certainly OF ines
Unable benefit. In that It exposes the
weed roots to the frost, the lucerne
roofs being so deep as TO be uninjured,
knd Il also spreads the punches Of
luceine by splitting them, thus better
ING the growth and yield.
