HOW TO PREPARE SEED BED
Harrow 10 Most Universally Used
Tlllase lmplement-Exeelient for
Pulverizina Soil.

The harrow Is the most universally
used surface tillage implement II is
used, says an Ohio bulletin, to follow
the plow when 1t is desired to pulver.
ize the soil Immediately. and scarcely
a crop Is grown where the harrow Is
not used In preparing Its seed bed.
The use OF the harrow levels and pul.
verizes the topmost soil. and creates
an excellent earth mulch for prevent.
Ing the loss Of soil moisture.
With timely use 1t destroys q count.
less number Of very small weeds. II
Is not cultivator. however: and,
when used for destroying weeds. II
should be used when the weeds are
very small. and at a time when the
strong sunlight will quickly destroy
the small, upturned roots. When
preparing the seed bed for cultivated
crops II Is wise to disk and harrow
alternately several times before the
crop is planted. This helps very
much In warming the soil; and a
great many weeds are destroyed that
would have grown with the cultIvat
cd crop.
Both grain and cultivated crops are
sometimes narrowed to loosen a
crusted condition Of the surface soil
and to destroy small weeds. How
ever. the value Of such tillage Is cues

necessary, It should be lightly done

TREES CONSERVE SOIL WATER
WIndbreaks Prevent Excessive Evapo.
ration In Dry Land Areas-Good
on the Plains.

A hedge fifteen to eighteen feet high
will lessen the evaporation of soil
moisture In its vicinity. On the lee
ward side the evaporation of moisture
is lessened to a considerable distance
from the hedge and close up to the
windbreak on the windward side. The
influence Of the hedge on the evapora-
ton OF soil moisture depends upon the
humidity. temperature. velocity of the
wind. and kind and condition of the
soil. At distance of 200 feet from
the leeward side Of the hedge this In
fiuence falls of. but not rapidly. On
the windward side the loss from evap-
oration Is less at so feet than at 200 or
800 feet and lowest at 100 feet, prob
ably due to the checking of the wind
on approaching the hedge. The hedge
has greater influence in retaining
soil moisture in fine. sandy loan than
In SILT loan. but not at such great
distance from the hedge.
These facts were brought out In an
experiment carried on in 1910 By
Wilbur Zacharias, senior in the
Kansas Agricultural college. This
experiment was continued from Octo-
Der II to November 20. or period Of
Al days. Observations were taken and
cylinders Of soil weighed every "a
hours.
The windbreak In this experiment
was an Usage orange hedge on the
college farm. Mr.. Zacharias. who
did the work for his thesis, gave the
most careful attention to the test.
The physics department Of the college
took temperature and wind velocity
readings.
From this experiment and other OBJ.
servations made by F. H. King of
Wisconsin and R. A. Emerson Of the
University OF Nebraska, 1t is to be In
ferred that hedges would be Of great
Importance in the level plains region,
where the hot. dry winds Of the sum.
mer sweep across the prairies with
high wind velocity, and the evapora-
ton OF moisture is excessive. This Is
not SO necessary In moist, humid
climates. but hedges or any forest
trees OF sufficient height and planted
thick enough seem to be an effective
means OF bringing about solution Of
the conservation Of soil moisture in
the great plains region.

SAVE MOISTURE BY DIsKINc
Even Held That II 10 Wise to Grow
Weeds In stubble Field to Aid In
Catching Shows.
By L. R. wALDRoN. Superintendent,

CBy L. r. wALDRoN. Superintendent
Dickinson Experiment Station)
An objection offered to disking
stubble land at a time OF harvest is
that the stubble Is broken down to
such an extent that the snow. holding
power OF the stubble Is destroyed. It
Is even held that II is wise to allow
weeds to grow In the stubble to aid
In catching the drifting snow.
1t may be that such practices are to
be recommended in preference to
disking the stubble land at the time
OF harvest. but certainly the latter
practice has not been experimental
with sufficiently in western North Da.
kota to admit OF any definite ideas at
the present time.
| doubt II any farmer has carried
out really definite experiments to de-
termine the value Of disking stubble
land at the time OF harvest.
Some stubble land was disked at the
experiment station In 1911 at time Of
harvest In comparison with some
stubble land left undisked. A month
later It was determined that the disk.
Ing. and subsequent narrowing. con.
served moisture to the extent Of l.57
inches OF rainfall.
This represents a great deal OF
water. and probably Is as much as
would be soaked In from the snow
during an ordinary winter. 1t must
be remembered that there Is consid.
cradle difference In the moisture as
It falls as snow. and as 1t sinks into
the ground. The snow drifts badly
and at time Of melting considerable
portion Of It is apt to be lost In rum
of, especially II the ground Is frozen
wet.
