Plow Crab Grass Under

l came from Kentucky within the
last year. / have oats stubble that
has heavy coat Of crab grass; should
| plow it under or merely turn it.--J.
S. Cade, Craig County, Okla.
1t is much better system to plow
your oat stubble that has heavy coat
of crab grass on it at once, plowing it
under instead of merely turning it.
The rank growth of vegetation, of
course, will not decay as well during
the winter months as it would If
plowed earlier in the fall, but there
will be sufficient decomposition TO add
some vegetable matter to the soil. The
only objection whatever that could
be raised to the policy of turning all
the vegetation possible under with the
furrow slice in this section of the
surface more in our dry years which,
of course, limits to a greater extent
the amount of available moisture that
there is for growing the crop and
where one plows in the spring just
before putting in the crop might be a
very important consideration, but the
great trouble with most of our soils
in Oklahoma now is that there is not
enough vegetable matter in the soil.
This condition is detrimental in many
ways, notably in destroying the physi-
cal condition of the soil so that it
does not hold sufficient moisture; also
destroying the porous condition of the
| soil sn that the air does not enter in
heavy clay soils and the action Of soil
bacteria is thus destroyed.
The system for plowing in Kentucky
is just the kind you need in Craig
county, provided it is done in the
| proper season. There is only one
type Of soil which should not be
plowed until spring in this state and
that is what is known as the blow
sand soil.-J. A. Wilson, Director

Black Soil Covered with Sand

! own a bottom farm on the South
Canadian River; originally the soil
was black with some sand mixture
and is subirrigated, water being within
to 10 feet of the surface About 8
years ago it overfiowed by reason of
a cloud burst. Near the head of the
river this overflow deposited six in
ches of sand over the soil How
should handle this land?-A. G. Ritz,
Oklahoma City, Oklahoma.
You may never have such an over
flow again as you speak of. which
happened nine years ago. The only
soils in this state which II is not ad-
visable to plow in the fall or summer
season is known as the thousands
which you have on ten acres of your
farm. This is very difficult type Of
soil to handle and inasmuch as you
have only small field of this, / be-
lieve you would find II to very great
advantage to try to get 1t very thor
oughly fertilized II possible and seed
down to alfalfa or bermuda, for, of
course, you understand that this is
very difficult TO do in the case of al
falfa only you can plow very deep
and then subsoil so as to get some of
the original black land up to the sur
face. This would seem to be quite
AS to the depth OF plowing which
would be advisable to follow over the
whole farm, will say that where the
soil does not blow ! would plow six
to eight inches or even deeper, but
remember that the depth Of the fur
row slice should increase gradually
from year to year. In other words,
1t is dangerous to. turn up too much
OF the raw soil each year since whole
farms have been spoiled in this way
by people who are over jealous to
plow too deep. BY the deepening Of
the furrow slice gradually | can see
where deep plowing with subsoiiing
will eventually bring back your farm
to its original fertile condition.
On the blow-sand field, 1t would be
advisable to plow in the spring and
seed Immediately to different cTSps,
some cultivated and some shallow
rooted crops like millets, small grain
and the sorghum crops. These alter
nate strips of cultivated and shallow
FOOTED crops will tend to stop the
drifting, and II you will use cowpeas
in such a rotation plowing deep as
suggested above, II is quite likely that
you may redeem this field in few
years.--James A. Wilson. Director.

Conflict of Grasses

How can we prevent a conflict in
the growth of alfalfa, bermuda and
crab grass?-M. p. Mauer, Caddo
County, Oklahoma.
With regard to the trouble arising
from bermuda grass, will say that
there should be no difficulty, inasmuch
as bermuda is the grass you should
conflne to your high lands, where the
soil washes bad and alfalfa is most
profitable In your lower lands where
the water table is not very near the
surface. II you have this division Of
your grass and alfalfa you will not be
troubled with the bermuda getting into
the alfalfa fields because bermuda
propagates very rarely from seed, and
Il is a very easy matter to keep 1t
from growing over the roots into ad-
joining fields. with crab gress the
problem is different.
For starting a fielu to bermuda you
should have your soil as free as pos.
sible from weeds and as fertile as
possible. With a foundation like this
! and favorable fall planting season
you will have no difficulty whatever in
starting alfalfa well, provided you
have a fine seed bed on deep, well
| piowed land.
The first six weeks of the life Of
alfalfa is the critical time. II 1t gets
start especially in the fall of the
year, DO not think crab grass will
stand any show with It because you
will make several cuttings of the al
falfa during the growing season and
each one of these tends to discourage
the propagation of any crab grass
plants that may have gained foothold
in the soil.-Jas. A. Wilson, Director
