SHEPHERDS PAPER ON
DRY FARM CROPS


One of the best papers before the
Dry Farming Congress at Spokane
was OH "Dry Farm Crop Rotation"
by Prof. }. II. Shepperd of the North
Dakota 4. G. In the absence Of Prof.
Shepperd, who was unable to attend.
the paper was read by Superintendent
Porter.
1t was us follows:
Many things are cited as reasons for
rotation of crops or the diversitcatiOn
Of interests OH the average farm.
Among them are the following:
l. Mineral fertility is maintained.
2. Noxious insects are destroyed.
3. Weeds are killed.
!. Humus is added to the soil.
5. Moisture is conserved.
&. More than one crop to take
chances OIL.
I. Diseases of plants are held in
check.
:. Social conditions are improved.
.. \ long tenure for help is provid-
ed and better men secured.
10. The farm income is regular and
more frequent.
All OF these are features Of import
ance but the stress to be placed upon
the different items is Il point which
varies according to the location Of the
farm project. Successful dry land
cropping requires frequent cultivation
OF the land-the dust blanket-either
us an incident to the cultivation Of
corn, potatoes or root crops or with
out crop and the adding and con-
servati on Of humus in tile soil.
Preserving mineral fertility is i'm
pOrtant but not so imperative as it
is in a moist district as there is and
has been comparatively little leach
ing under dry conditions. The work
ing in of humus III the form Of well
rotted stable manure or as green crops
plowed under will carry enough fer
tility with it to take care of that part
of the problem if the amount Of live
stock on the farm is what it should
be. am firmly convinced that the
dry land farmer must keep a consid-
cradle number of farm animals around
him to reduce his roughage into hu-
mus forming material, to consume his
forage crops that form soil binding
roots, and to bring him in small sums
Of money at frequent intervals and
thus pay running expenses and leave
his crop sales us net sums Of money
with which to meet his larger obliga-
tlons. Live stock will keep a dry land
farmer borrowing money and paving
interest during seasons flight crops
This great plains region should carry
rs much live stock under dry land cul-
tiyation as it has done in the past as a
ranching country and will do so with
out the animals becoming a burden
or out of balance with the gram crops
Oh the dry land farmers holdings.
Insects are perhaps less likely to
become scourge in dry land dis
tricts than in humid countries. 1t is
hard to forecast what they will do,
however, and IL rotation Of crops makes
1t very hard for insects to survive or
at least to become numerous. The
frequent cultivation of the dry land
farmer dstnrbs their burrows and
winter quarters and his regular change
OF crops is very hard on them. While
we do not anticipate insect scourges
in the PLAINS region, the safest plan to
follow is one that will anticipate
them and keep them out by preven-
tiOn.
Getting Rid Of Weeds.
Judith Gap journal. [volume] (Judith Gap, Mont.) 1908-19??, 1910-10-14
Getting Rid Of Weeds.

Weeds are not likely to be severe in
the great plains country, although
there is nothing in it's nature which
will keep them out if careless methods
are followed and the weed seeds are
soWn there. Rotation of crops is one
of the surest preventativess since wheat
weeds are not corn weeds and corn
weeds are not meadow weeds andla
change makes it hard on each sort
Compositing the manure which should
be the practice in dry land districts
causes most weed seeds to decay and
make far less exposure of the land
through that very common course Of
seeding it.
Humus (partially decayed vegetable
matter-the essential element in peat
is agreat substance to hold moisture,
to make ground friable and to pre-
vent drifting. llumus is added in two
ways; first by adding stable manure:
second by adding green matter: third
by changing crops SO as not to ex-
hanst the supply of it which the wild
grass and wild animals have put into
it during the iOo year that have past
before it came to us. lIumus con-
tains plant food, which makes Il crop
grow rapidly and 1t has the sponge
like effect Of holding moisture. 1t
also has the property of making soil
work up well-it improves soil for
making soil nulclles.
