and during the dry time to prevent
it's evaporating.
We come, then, to the problem OF
holding the moisture in soil after it
is once there in the desired quantities.
1t is not a question of how much
moisture we can keep at or near the
surface during the growing season OF
the crop, but it is question OF bring
ing a sufficient amount of moisture
within reach of the roots and prevent
ing it's escape before the plant has
chance of using it, The most effective
method for preventing evaporation
from the surface is by mulching-that
is, Keeping the upper three or four
inches in a well-tilled and pulverized
condition. If land becomes too dry
before plowing and breaks up into
large clods much moisture is lost,
and it requires from two to three
times as much work to produce an ef-
fective mulch, if it can be obtained
at all. AS to the depth of mulches
which are most satisfactory it has
been shown by repeated experiment.

the mean daily loss per acre was
1448 tons, while an adjacent strip

weather, but allowed to remain smooth
The ranch. [volume] (Seattle, Wash.) 1902-1914, 1906-06-01

plowed the amount of moisture lost
is considerable. AS soon as the plow-
ing is done the ground should be
worked down into good, mellow con-
dition, so as to have good seed-bed.
Land plowed with the intention of
summer-fallowing should be thorough
ly worked down in order to form a
good mulch, and it should be culti-
waited thoroughly during the summer
to bring it into good, mellow condi-
ton and to keep all the foul stuff from
growing.
Much depends upon the character
of the soil as to the best methods of
plowing in order to conserve moisture.
A light sandy soil should be kept as
compact as possible. All operations
in tilling should have tendency to
compacting rather than loosening it
to any great depth. In the case of a
loamy soil the methods of tilling de-
pend largely upon the climate, for if
moisture enough falls to produce a
crop it is comparatively easy to con-
serve it. The object in all methods
of tilling to conserve the moisture
should be to keep the soil in condition
in the rainy season, so that the
moisture can easily get into the soil,
The ranch. [volume] (Seattle, Wash.) 1902-1914, 1906-06-01

and unstirred, lost a mean daily aver
age per acre of 17.6 tons. The loss
could be detected as far down as the
sixth foot. A mulch to the depth of
about three inches gives most salts
factory results, and is generally most
easily obtained.
1t is not sufficient to get good
mulch on the ground at the beginning
of the season and allow it to remain
unstirred during the rest of the grow
ing period of crop, but if practical
the soil should be stirred frequently
In the case of wheat growing it is i'm
possible to stir the soil after the crop
has grown awhile without injuring
the plants However, if the ground
is thoroughly narrowed as soon as it
is plowed a good mulch will be
found and the ground will become
warm and in good condition to start
the crops off right. AS soon as the
crop gets large enough to cover the
ground the evaporation will be
checked owing to the shading, and tho
necessity of cultivating in such a case
would not be great, and, in fact,
would be hardly necessary at all. But
with a cultivated crop 1t is different,
and the soil should be stirred fire.

months. Would it not, then, be good
practice for the farmer, even if the
grain is not to be sOwn until spring,
to plow the land in the early fall as
soon as the crop is off, if possible, and
thus allow the fall rains to percolate
down into the subsoil, and also pre-

til late, the continued rise of what
moisture may be left in the subsoil

to check the upward movement OF

In the case of spring plowing moth

ground as early as possible after 1t

farmer allows the land to remain un-
