Since blowing and firming Of
the seed bed, the fields have
been single or double disced
once and narrowed.
M The moisture condition of a
sub-soil after mature crop
has been removed makes it.
necessary. if we are to restore
or secure a mellow and more
perfect soil condition, to stir
the surface soil just as soon as
possible after cutting the grain.
This prevents further evapora-
.tion and it has been observed
that the sub-soil begins to
mellow until ordinarily within
three or four weeks especially
if there have been cold nights
and a few frosts, the soil will
be in very fair condition for
,plowing without a rain. But
having the surface Of a stuble
field stirred by a double discing
puts the ground in condition to
take in rain should one come
and thereby makes proper
blowing possible sooner.
& Therefore the stubbie fields
are being disced regardless of
the crop to follow in the spring.
Where possible, fields have
been single disced behind the
binder and after threshing they
will be disced again to insure
a thorough job. In some in
stances the grain has been
shocked in straight rows and
the field double disced between
the shock rows. These methods
have proven very satisfactory
and similar methods or rnodifi-
cation should apply all over
the state, particularly in the
western part.
