KEEP GOOD MULCH WORKING


A mulch Is anything applied to the
surface Of the soil. primarily fcr tne
pui pose OF preventing evaporation ana
occasionally to keep down weeds ana
avoid winter-kiIling Of plants. writes
]. Freer In the Northwest Farmssead.
There are two general kinds OF
mulches.
Foreign material, such as straw,
leaves, sawdust. manure stubble ana
sand applied to the surface.
Those composed Of natural soil
modified by tillage. One Of this kind
is called dust mulch" or dust
blanket and IL simply a layer OF soil
which has been loosened up and dried
out. Mulches Of foreign material play
a very small part in general farming.
but are extensively used in horttcu'-
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 finef 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 a mulch becomes wet
It's effectiveness is gone until 1t dries
out.
Light rains and ~irrigations on .
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-
tivation 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 a good mulch on
the soil all the time to prevent loss
of water by evaporation.

GROWING WHEAT AFTER CORN
Ing, According to Reports From
Experiment Stations.

There are those who contend that
Just as good wheat can be grown
after corn as on a summer fallow.
This seasons experimental crops at
the Nebraska station and fields
throughout Colorado, Nebraska and
Kansas do not bear out this theory.
There is a good deal to be said
against the dry fallow. and 1t often
seems wasteful to do SO much work
as 1t necessitates for one years crop
and 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 a long
period and thus lessons actual cost.
All experiments show that about fifty
per cent. Of moisture can be conserved
on good soils, which mean Fl inches
OF moisture with a 14-inch rainfall.
Probably the longer farming is carried
on, a 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 ext
gencies than a 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 a crop under
good farming methods insures. In the
state of Washington sometimes 80
successive crops of wheat have been
grown and then following rescrted to
successful when the humusi had be-
come too depleted for a crop to be
grown more than every other year.

"DRY FARMING" is MIsNoMER
According to Prot. Campbell Method
Should Be Called Scientific Farm
lno"-Practice ls Old.

Dry farming, that Is farming in the
arid lands Of the west where irriga.
ton Is not possible is being doomed
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 a
few years ago II was known as the
Campbell system of dry farming. Mr..
Campbell having succeeded In inter-
estipg some of the western railroads
In carrying on extensive experiments.
Now 1t is known as scientific farm
ing. and MIR. Campbell at the Dry
Farming convention in Montana last
year admitted that dry farming" Is
. misnomer and 1t should be called
scientific farming.
The system consists simply in pre-
serving . dust mulch to keep the
moisture which comes from the win
ter rains In tho ground during the
months when M rain fall occurs. This
system IL as old as farming itself and
has been practiced in India and other
dry countries Of the far east for ages.
Now. many new tools have been de-
vised to aid In the cultivation Of these
dry soils in this country and the very
best practice known to agriculture
has been applied.
