SHELTER BELTS ARE USEFUL
30 Much to Prevent Soil Blowing Be
oauss They interfere With Move
ment Of Wind Near Surface.

In dry farming areas many farm
ers are troubled with soil blowing,
sometimes to the extent Of losing
their entire crop. In many sections
water comes within six feet Of the
surface so that the roots Of most
crops can reach moisture. While
there is a scarcity Of water, It seems
almost necessary to follow dry farm
ing methods to be successful In
area where soil blowing occurs vari-
u methods might be followed to
mitigate the bad effects. But It is
almost impossible TO eliminate them
altogether.
Shelter belts do much to prevent
soil blowing because they interfere
with the movement Of the wind near
the surface Of the ground. While Il
requires time for shelter belts TO de-
velOp It Is possible to get the same
effect BY blowing small fields and leay-
ing the surface somewhat rough. It
has been found that sandy soils blow
more easily than heavier soils and
those that contain a considerable
amount Of organic matter. The

seeding the crop. to pillow a furrow

form OF another consists of preventing
its escape through evaporation by OBJ
structing this process at the soil sur
face. Surface tillage that forms a
dust mulch is the most practicable
mea Of doing this. This movement
Of soil moisture to the surface, from
which point It is e%vaporated into the
air, is accomplished by means Of a
physical law called capillarity. The
disturbing of the soil at the surface
breaks up the capillary connection and
stops evaporation to a large extent.
Hence, the value Of surface cultiva-
ton. Numerous tests have shown
that frequent cultivation Of the soil
in summer win prevent the evapora-
ton of from seven to ten inches Of
water where the rainfall IS not over
thirteen inches. Thus, moisture that
otherwise might escape into the air
is kept ia the soil where 1t can be
used by the seed in Fastening germ
ination n in supplying water to the
growing plant. Cultivation not only
aids in conserving this moisture by
preventing its evaporation, but It also
prevents a broken surface which
catches the rain and snow, 1t per
forms the double service Of both gath
ering and retaining the rainfall. If we
are to have thirty bushel wheat crops,
there are many sections in the west
where the question of moisture conser-
walton must be given mor careful at
tention.
