VITAL FARM SUBJECT
Means of Fighting Drought
Cause of Much Discussion.
Government Crop Report for August
Shows Many Crops Are Far Below
Average and Loss Runs Into
Millions CT Dollars.

Deep tillage has become vital sub
Iect among farmers all over the United
States. The government crop report
for August has stirred up discussion
everywhere of means of lighting
drought. Something must be done.
The report shows the greatest de-
cline in the condition of crops during
a single month since 1904 general
slump throughout the country, due to
drought and intense heat.
Taking into account both acreage
and condition, indications are that the
wheat crop viii be Al per cent. less
than the average annual production of
the last five years. Corn will be per

barley 1862 per cent. less, buckwheat

cent. less, tobacco 25.5 per cent. less,
fax 2.3 per cent. less, than the aver

The total loss will run into hundreds
of millions.

Value of Grass

Grass is soil protector, a soil re-
newer and soil builder. Covering
the land with grass is natures way of
restoring fertility to old, WORKOUT soil
True grasses do not add nitrogen to
the soil, as do clover and alfalfa, yet
they are nitrogen gatherers. They
collect the nitrogen of the soil and
store it up in their roots, and by the
decay of these roots humus is formed.
Thus grasses prevent the waste of nj
trogen and other plant food elements,
protect the soil and maintain its fer
tility and filth. BY their extensive
and penetrating root systems many
grasses tend to break up and to deep
en- the SOIL thus improving its texture
and increasing its moisture-holding ca
pacity, The roots gather the mineral
plant food in the deeper subsoil and
store it. in part, in the great fibrous
root growth nearer the surface. This
causes an increase in the supply of
available plant food in the soil for the
use of more shallow roofing crops.

TO CONSERVE THE MOISTURE
Cultivation OF Grain Lands After Har-
vest lie Custom Dry Farmer Must
Think Seriously OF.

In this dry climate the cultivation OF
the grain land soon after harvest tends
to conserve the moisture already
stored in the soil and 1t is a custom
We will have to take up more serious
ly than In the past. The furrowed
land is in good condition to catch and
store the rain and the later cultiva-
ton clears the surface of weeds and
leaves a mellow soil mulch to con-
serve the moisture which has been
stored In the subsoil The early and
continued cultivation OF the soil favors
the action of the bacteria and the de-
velopment of available plant food.
says the Denver Field and Farm.
By practicing this method the farm
er may cultivate larger area early
In the season when the soil is in good
condition, whereas If 1t is necessary
to pillow the whole field, some of the
land may become too dry to pillow
well. Likewise the later blowing
leaves the soil too loose and not in
good seed-bed condition. By several
civilizations with common harrow
after the ridges have been worke'
down with disk sled, the soil may
be well pulverized and firmed and put
into good condition.
In fact the larger part of the seed.
bed area has not been loosened deep
ly and even with little or no rain the
subsurface soil remains firm and the
seed-bed is in ideal condition to
terminate the wheat In the ideal sys.
tenn of culture the purpose is to keep
mellow soil mulch on the surface OF
the land all of the time, not only dur
ing the growth of the crop, but also
in the interval between harvest and
seeding time. Thus, after the crop is
planted, the land is kept cultivated
with the weeder or harrow in order tc
break the surface crust and conserve
the moisture.
Following out the same principle
the narrowing or work with the weed
er is continued after the grain is UT
and during the growing period fire
quent cultivation is required for inter
titled crops. After harvest the tillage
is not discontinued, but the surface il
loosened by cross-disking as soon al
possible after the crop is removed
and thus the soil is kept going con
tinually so as not only prevent the
loss of water already stored in the
soil, but also this same condition anc

of rain and largely prevents the los.
