NEWLY BROKEN LAND CROPS
Common Practice Of Sowing Flax Re-
lieVes Struggling Farmer, but Is
Not Always Best.

The very common practice OF SOW
ing fax or some other crop on newly
broken land has apparently grown In
favor during recent years. owing no
doubt to the great increase in the
growing Of that crop. The practice
oftentimes relieves the struggling
farmer who is beginning work on the
homestead, but 1t is not the best
thing that can be done for the future
production of he land. This at least
is true, where the normal precipita-
tion is low, as low say as 10 to ~
inches.
When a crop OF fax or wheat or
other grain crop is taken from land
the season that It has been broken,
no opportunity is given for moisture
to go down into the dry subsoil to
moisten 1t. The crop may absorb it all
In dry year and then not have
enough TO perfect its growth. In such
instances the grower usually is anx-
ious to follow with another crop the
next year. and to obtain It he may
simply disc the land. The second crop,
II indeed one can be taken from the
land that year, In turn takes all the
moisture OF that season, none is left
for, the soil, much less for the subsoil;
hence the subsequent cropping for a
time is much liable to be attended
with disaster. II the first plowing has
been shallow, the condition will be fur
ther aggravated.
The necessities ot-the newcomer in
very many instances compel him to
adopt some such course in order that
he may get means that will enable him
to carry on his work. But many adopt
this method because they are anxious
to get a quick return for their outlay
without being compelled to farm thus.
There is no question that II is not the
best method to adopt. II would be
better in the end to allow the land to
| lie idle during all the first summer
thus giving time for moisture to &c
down into the subsoil. With some re
serve Of moisture in the soil. better
crops may be grown, at least in the
future that Immediately follows.
The benefit from having a store o
moisture in the subsoil in dry season
cannot be overestimated. A small
amount of such moisture may save
crop. The rainfall during the growing
period may be only enough to carr!
the crop on to the caring stage. On
more inch OF rain would make tn,
crop and 1t does not come. If in tn
absence OF that inch of rain there wa
reserve moisture in the soil, the GRO
would be carried to completion.

SOIL MULCH OF IMPORTANCE
Cultivate Rather Slow Early In
Spring, Increasing the Depth as
the Season Advances.

By PROF. A. NJ. TEN EYCK, Kansas)
Mellow soil is not as good a con-
ductor of heat as firm soil. A thick
mulch of mellow soil should permit
less heat to enter the soil than thin
mulch. However, the thin mulch may
be as effective o covering for retain
ing the heat In the soil as a thick
mulch. The results OF the recent soil
temperature studies at the Kansas
station support this statement.
A deep soil mulch is not necessary
for conserving the soil moisture early
in the spring, when the air is moist
and the weather relatively cool; hence
the plan to cultivate rather shallow
early in the spring and increase the
depth of cultivation as the season ad-
vances, because late in the season,
during the hot, dry days OF July and
August. the soil will dry rapidly, and
a deeper soil mulch is required to
conserve the moisture and prevent the
surface from becoming too hot.
My recommendation and practice Is
to cultivate rather shallow early In
the spring, lncrehsihb the uSP'" "
the cultivation as the season advances.
At the last cultivation when the corn
is laid by II should be cultivated as
deeply as possible without destroying
the main lateral roots of the corn
These lie usually about four inches
below the surface. midway between
the rows in surface-planted corn.
The corn roots gradually approach
the surface near the root stock. when
requires that surface-planted corr
should not be cultivated too close tc
the hill at the last cultivation. From
the study of corn roots made at th'
Kansas experiment station II appears
that the roots of listed corn lie deeper
in the soil than the roots OF surface
planted corn.
