Three shots were fred which did little

GROWING WHEAT AFTER CORN
Plan Not as Good as Summer Fallow.
ing. According to Reports From
Experiment Stations.

There are those who contend that
Just as good wheat can be grown
after corn as on summer fallOw.
This seasons experimental crops at
the Nebraska station and fields
throughout Colorado. Nebraska and
Kansas do not bear ont this theory.
There Is a good deal TO be said
against the dry fallow. and It often
seems wastefui to do SO much work
as 1t necessltates for one years crop
ard pay the interest on two bodies OF
land instead OF one. Very often the
extra work Is more expensive In ap.
pearance than in reality. as the sum.
mer fallow extends the period OF
work for horses or steam over long
period and thus lessons actual cost.
All experiments show that about nifty
per cent. of moisture can be conserved
on good soils. which means 81 inches
of moisture with a li.inch rainfall.
Probably the longer farming is carried
on, n due regard being had to the
preservation OF humus. the greater the
conservation possible. as the subsoil
Is opened by the roots and cultivation.
An early maturing crop OF peas
would be far more consistent with
what Is known Of dry farming exi'
gencies than crop like corn. whose
deep roots search the lowest crevices
OF the subsoil for the last drop OF
moisture until late in the season. and
whose only advantage Is the thorough
cultivation that such crop under
good farming methods insures. In the
state Of Washington sometimes ~
successive crops OF wheat have been
grown and then following resorted to

KEEP GOOD MULCH WORKING
One Of the Great Principles Of Dry
Farming Is to Prevent Loss OF
Water by Evaporation.

A mulch Is anything applied to tho
surface of the soil. primarily for the
purpose of preventing evaporation and
occasionally to keep down weeds and
avoid winter.killing of plants. writes
J Frecr in the Northwest Farmstead.
There are two general kinds OF
mulches.
Foreign material. such as straw.
leaves. sawdust. manure. stubble and
sand applied to the surface.
Those composed OF natural soil
is called dust mulch" or dust
blanket" and Is simply layer Of soil
which has been loosened up and dried
ont. Mulches OF foreign material play
very small part in general farming.
but are extensively used in horticui
ture In some localities.
The principle OF the mulch is:
Loose. dry material covering. wet soil
retards the movement OF water to
the surface and keeps the dry. cir.
culating air from contact with the
moist soil. thereby greatly reducing
the loss OF water. The finer the mulch
the looser 1t must be to give good re.
suits Ordinary soil mulches two to
three inches deep are usually most
effective. When mulch becomes wet
Its effectiveness is gone until 1t dries
out.
Light rains and irrigations on q
mulched soil are worse than no appli'
cation OF water. Because they only
wet and destroy the mulch and allow
the water from below to escape. with
out adding any to replace 1t. Addition
al expense Is incurred by the cultiva'
tion, which must be Immediately
started to restore the mulch.
A quantity of water retained by cul.
tlvation Is OF far greater value even
where water Is plentiful than the
same amount applied TO the soil
One of the great principles OF dry
farming is to keep good mulch on
the soil all the time to prevent loss
OF water by evaporation.

Dry farming. that Is farming In the
arid lands OF the west where irriga-

very hard these days.
Large companies have bought up
immense tracts of this land at from
twenty-five cents to one dollar an
acre and strong efforts are being
made to induce the farmers from the
middle west to settle upon them.
When this movement was started n
few years ago 1t was known as the

in carrying on extensive experiments.
Now 1t Is known rs scientific farm

months when no rain fall occurs This
system Is as old as farming Itself and
