STORING THE WATER.
Work Done At the North Platte Sub.
Station.

Work Done At the North Platte Sub
Station.
The Nebraska Experiment Station
has issued Bulletin No. ia. on Stor-
ing Moisture In the Soil. This bulle-
Tin Is a report Of work done at the
Experimental Substation located At
North Platte.
This bulletin takes up the necessity
Of storing water in the soil during
periods of wet weather to be used
during periods of drouth. A short de-
scription is given Of the type Of soil
found on the Substation farm, the
manner of sampling, and the depth Of
sampling. Some samples were taken
to q depth Of Is feet in order to reach
a point below which the crops could
not obtain water.
A map is given showing the divi-
sion of the farm into fields and also
one showing the soil areas of the
state. A brief discussion Of the move
ments CT the water found in the soil
is also given.
The charts show that water is con.
served in the soil through cultivation
and that II is necessary to keep the
surface of the soil loose and In a re-
ceptive condition to get the water
into the soil Almost as much water
is gotten into the soil during the
early part Of the season where a cul-
tivated crop Is being grown as Is con-
served by summer tillage. This is due
to the fact that the surface soil is
kept loose enough to hold the water
that falls until It can get down into
the soil. and the loose soil on the
surface prevents evaporation; 1t Is
also due to the fact that comparative
ly few plants are being grown In a
cultivated field and these do not draw
very heavily on the water supply dur
ing the early part OF their growth.
In a small grain field more plants
are grown. with the result that the
water is used more rapidly and less
water is gotten into the soil. In fields
growing alfalfa or bronze grass where
the number of growing plants are
large and the surface of the soil is
smooth and hard. 1t is seldom that
enough water gets into the soil to
mOisten the soil below two or three
feet BY the method Of summer till
ing practiced. from 40 to so per cent
Of the seasons rainfall has been
stored for the use of the subsequent
crop. On this type OF soil the water
is available for the crop.
Several charts and tables are given
in the bulletin. to show the amount
Of precipitation at North Platte. One
table given shows the daily precipita-
ton during the period that this work
was being done Charts showing the
annual precipitation and the average
precipitation by months are also
given.
THIS bulletin may be had free OF
cost by residents of Nebraska upon
application to the Nebraska Agri.
cultural Experiment Station. Lincoln.
