Hold III. Soil Moisture.

II every farmer We're compelled to
maui and pour over each acre OF his
farm over 200 barrels Of water per day.
he would gain some conception OF the
amount Of moisture evaporated from
an exposed. uncultivated soil at this
season Of the year. This evaporation
varies according to the kind and condi-
lion OF the soil. weather. location, etc.
but under average conditions the sun
and wind are rapidly drawing from the
soil that moisture which will be needed
later in the season for crop growth. 1t
is just like drawing dollarsf rom the
farmers pockets.
Now is the time to prevent this loss.
Soil moisture Is valuable. Past records
show that an inch OF rainfall in July
means $1,000 900 worth OF corn TO the
state OF Ohio. While farmers can not
make an inch of rain fall in July. they
car carry an inch OF soil moisture over
from May until July, and that means
the same thing.
An inch Of rainfall means lis tons Of
water per acre II this Is allowed to
escape at the rate Of 200 barrels per
day it will require only four days to
lose the entire inch. Every farmer who
fails to prevent this evaporation is los
ing his share OF that $4,000 900. Arr
you one OF the losers?
How can this evaporation be pre-
vented? BY cultivating the soil. Keep
the surface OF the soil in a fine, loose
condition. Follow the plow with the
harrow Harrow the corn field before
the corn is up; after It is up cultivate
often enough to keep good soil mulch
Don't be st;nEy with the use Of the
cultfvator.
The amount Of moisture in the soil
this spring was below normal Moisture
is essential to maximum crop produc-
ton.
Conserve your sou moisture. Do 1,
