NEWLY BROKEN LAND CROPS
Common Practice Of Sowing Flax Re.
lieses Struggling Farmer, but Is
Not Always Best.

The very common practice OF SOW.
ing fax or some other crop on newly
broken land has apparently grown In
favor during recent years, owing no
doubt to the great increase In the
growing OF that crop. The practice
oftentimes relieves the struggling
farmer who is beginning work on the
homestead, but 1t is not the best
thing that can be done for the future
production Oft he land. This at least
is true, where the normal precipita-
ton Is low. as low say as 10 to u
| inches.
When crop OF fax or wheat or
other grain crop is taken from land
the season that 1t has been broken,
no opportunity is given for moisture
TO go down into the dry subsoil to
Eoisten It, The crop may absorb it all
in dry year and then not have
enough TO perfect its growth. In such
instances the grower usually is anx-
ious 10 follow with another crop the
next year. and TO obtain 1t he may
simply disc the land. The second crop.
II indeed one can be taken from the
land that year. in turn takes all the
moisture OF that season. none is left
for the soil. much less for the subsoil:
hence the subsequent cropping Tor a
time Is much liable TO be attended
with disaster. II the first plowing has
been shallow, the condition will be fur.
ther aggravated.
The necessities OF the newcomer In
very many instances compel him TO
adopt some such course in order that
he may get means that will enable him
TO carry on his work. But many adopt
this method because they are anxious
TO get a quick return for their outlay
without being compelled TO farm thus
There is no question that II is not the
best method TO adopt 1t would be
better in the end to allow the land to
lie idle during all the first summer,
thus giving time for moisture TO go
down into the subsOil. With some re.
serve Of moisture In the soil, better
crops may be grown, at least in the
future that Immediately follows.
The benefit from having store of
moisture in the subsoil in dry season
cannot be oyerestimated 4 small
amount Of such moisture may save a
crop. The rainfall during the growing
period may be only enough TO carry
the crop on to-the caring stage. One
more inch Of rain would make the
crop and 1t does not come. II in the
absence Of that inch OF rain there was
reserve moisture in the soil. the crop
would be carried TO completion.

SOIL MULCH OF IMPORTANCE
Cultivate Rather Slow Early in
Spring, Increasing the Depth as
the Season Advances.

lBy PROF \ NJ TEN EYCK. Kansas. ,
Mellow soil Is not rs good a con.
ductor OF heat as firm soil. 4 thick
mulch OF mellow soil should permit
less heat 10 enter the soil than a thin
mulch However. the thin mulch may
he rs effective covering for retain,
ing the heat in the soil as thick
mulch. The results OF the recent soil
temperature studies at the Kansas
station support this statement.
4 deep soil mulch is not necessary
for conserving the soil moisture early
In the spring, when the air is moist
and the weather relatively cool. hence
the plan to cultivate rather shallow
early In the spring and increase the
depth Of cultivation as the season ad.
yances. because late in the season,
during the hot, dry days of July and
August the soil will dry rapidly, and
deeper soil mulch is required to
conserve the moisture and prevent the
surface from becoming too hot.
My recommendation and practice Is
to cultivate rather shallow early in
the spring, increasing the depth OF
the cultivation as the season advances.
At the last cultivation when the corn
is laid by II should be cultivated as
deeply as possible without destroying
the main lateral roots OF the corn.
These lie usually about four inches
below the surface, midway between
the rows In suriace-planted corn.
The corn roots gradually approach
the surface near the root stock. which
requires that surface.planted corn
should not be cultivated too close to
the hill at the last cultivation. From
the study Of corn roots made at the
Kansas experiment station It appears
that the roots OF listed corn lie deeper
In the soil than the roots OF surface,
planted corn.

PERIL OF VOLCANIC WAVES
Few Dangers Mere Dreaded by Sail
ors Than Seismic Disturb
ances at Sea.

Occasionally there appears a great
wave sweeping across the calm sur
face of the ocean in the fares
weather and when no wind is blow
ing. There are few perils of the
sea to be more dreaded than such a
wave. Fortunately these are very
rare, vet more than once ship has
Encountered one.
The cause of these singular waves
is believed TO be some disturbance
Of volcanic nature at the bottom of
the sea. Volcanoes exist in the
ocean as well as on land; in fact,
nearly all the volcanoes known are
on or near the sea coast. 1t is easy
to see that an upheaval at the sea
bottom may start a billow at the
surface of the water, when we re-
member that huge waves have been
sent clear across the Pacific ocean to
San Francisco by volcanic shakings
of the earth on the borders of Asia.
The world under water is not
only three times as extensive as that
which is covered only with air, but
It possesses many of the same great
natural phenomena on scale which
is perhaps proportionately vast, but
of whose existence we are made
aware only by such indications as
the volcanic ocean waves that ships
OCCASIONALLY encounter.
