EXPERIENCE TALKS,
Mr.. Chas. II. Wllcken gave II as his
experience that the thorough harrow
INK OF ucerne in the late fall prevented
IN growth of weeds and allowed the
moisture Of the winter season to per-
coIate 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 Lehl
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 as great essentials In agriculture,
Instead of spending much OF the late
fall time In "loating'' II would be much
more profitable to do as much fall
Flowing as possible. This results In
the reception and retention by the loos-
ened soil Of the moisture precipitated
IN The winter He also advocated fall
Irrigation, because the water thus
spfeaf out upon and into the land
would have us effect IN the hot and dry
slnmtr sehson. TIDE narrowing OF
lucsrne In the fall Is certainly Of ines
umable benefit, In that It exposes the
Wsea roots to the frost, the lucerne
roos being SO deep as TO be uninjured,
ana L also spreads the punches OF
iuCelne BY splitting them, thus better
ING The growth and yield.
