NEED o. CONSERVING WATER
Necessity Of stori0q Moisture in Soil
During Periods Of Wet Weather
20 Use During Drouth.

The Nebraska experiment station
Bulletin No. ia, on storing moisture
In the soil, is a report Of work done
at the experimental station located at
North Platte. 1T takes up the neces.
sity Of storing water In the sou dur
ing periods of wet weather. to be used
during periods Of drouth.
The charts show that water SIS con-
seread In the soil through cultivation
and that It Is necessary TO keep the
surface Of the soil loose and in a re-
ceptive condition. to get the water into
the soil. Almost as much water Is got
into the soil during the early part Of
the season where a cultivated crop Is
being grown as Is conserved by SUM
mer tiilage. This Is due to the fact
that the surface soil Is kept loose
enough to hold the water that falls
until 1t can get down into> the soil.
and the loose soil on the surface
prevents evaporation. 1t IS also due
to the fact that comparatively few
plants are being grown I'm a cultivated
field. and these do not draw very
heavily on the water supply during
the early part Of their growth.
In a small grain field more plants
are grown. with the result chat the
water IS used more rapidly aud less
water IS got into the soil. In fields
growing alfalfa or bronze grass, where
the number Of growing plants are
large and the surface OF the soil is
smooth and hard, It is seldom that
enough water gets irrro the soil to
moisten it below two or three feet.
BY the method Of summer tlling prac-
ticed from 40 to so per cent. OF the
seasons rainfall has been stored for
the use Of the subsequent crop. On
this type Of soil the water in the up
per six feet is available for the crop.

VALUE OF FLOWING IN FALL
Should Be Done in Order to Permit
Winter Precipitation to Enter Soils
Easily and Effectively.

It is generally conceded that in or
der to permit the winter precipitation
to enter the soils easily and effectively,
the soil should be plowed In the fall
and left I'm a rough state throughout
the winter. TO prevent a loss Of this
storage moisture, when the warm sun.
shine Of spring and summer appears.
the fall plOwed soil should be harrow
ed in early spring, and by means Of re-
peated borrowings a dry earth mulch
should bo kept on the surface. ION
the overwhelming majority Of western
soils the only right time for blowing
is in the fall. On an equally large
proportion of western soils the best
method Of preventing evaporation from
soils is deep and thorough cultivation.
The soil Of the farm on which the
experiments reported in this bulletin
we're conducted was titled in the best
possible manner. The top soil was
loose and permitted the ready en-
trance Of water. The field was usual
" plowed in the fall. During two sea
sons only It was possible to secure
comparative data dealing with fall
versus spring blowing. While the diff
ference in both seasons was small, in
both cases it was in favor of the fall
plowed soil.
Some workers in this field have
noted the small increase in the per
oentage of soil moisture to certain
depths resulting from fall blowing.
and have hastily concluded that fall
blowing has little value in conserving
the natural precipitation. In view Of
the law Of the approximate |constancy
Of the soil moisture in the spring such
views may be revised. Fall blowing

FOREIGN FIELD FOR BROOM
CORN.
tsy james Jay. Lindsay. okIahoma.l


It has been my experience that it
is much cheaper to buy broom corn
seed from those who make a business.
Of raising pure seed, than it is to
save it, as broom corn runs out very
easily. and it requires a great deal OF
work to cut out any smut heads when
1t is growing.
One method Of seed testing is to
test the seed in warm water, but we
have not secured any inefrior seed
from our seedsmen.
In this country the ground is pre-
pared by listing, same as for InG.an
corn, and is cultivated as soon as pos
sible, that is, when 4 gees about four
inches high. and should be ploughed
as often as possible, chopping out the
big weeds, and afterwards let It ms

s~eventy-five one-hundred seeds
is planted to t rod. This is deter.
mined. however, according to the
ground. On rich land. o%ne-hundred
seeds should be planted to to the rod,
but on fair land only about eighty.
Broom Corn should be cut just as
soon as the bloom is off and seeded as
fast as it is cut. Then put in the
shed so that the sun will not be on
It any more than is necessary, as the
SUI makes the straw brittle. and
should not be stacked in the field. It
will pay any grower of broom corn to
buiia a shed, for one little rain will
will do more damage than the shed

result Of forty years experience in

The next thing is seed, and for
one not experienced IN taking care OF
seed, It will be much better to get
the seed from some good reliable
seedsmen. IT, however, the person
should prefer to save his own seed,
he should let the broom corn stand

use the surface c%ultivator. After the

depth, however. will depend on the
condition of the corn, and also wheth
err the shed is an open or a closed

pass freely through the corn.
Leave the corn On the stats eight or
ten days, or until the stems are dry.

Broom MANUFACTURERS WILL
ING TO PAY HIGHER PRICES
FOR GOOD BROOM CORN.
by Herbert P. Gardner, Of Gardner
Broom Co.. Amsterdam, NJ ~


Farmers stand in their own ligh,
in the way they prepare their broom
corn for market. In the first place.
they are not particular enough with
the seed they select for planting; and
after planting, not enough attention
Is paid to cultivation. As a general
rule, later on they are careless about
harvesting their broomcorn. and very
often a little of it stands in the field
for quite a long time, with the result
that a lot Of red corn is produced.
Very many growers think that any
thing win do as long as it gets into
the bale, paying no attention to the
very important matter of seeding and
baling. Here is where they make a
very sad mistake, for broomcorn weln
seeded. handled and baled viii bring
from $1,000 to $4,000 more per ton at
all times.
We believe that the broom manufac-
turers win be willing at an times 10
pay the farmers good prices for their
broomcorn If they would be more
careful with it, More attention
should be given by the growers, to
broomoorn seeds, so that their corn
could be properly cured and put IN
frat class condition, as the extra
pnco they would get for their corn
would pay for the sheds, and after
wards these same sheds could be-
used for other purposes, such as stor-
ing machinery, wagons, etc.

THE HUMMING BIRD.

Known &c a Flower to Which God Has
Granted Wings.
Our continent has a monopoly of
humming birds. the gems of the feath-
cred creation. OF these there are said
to he as many as 400 species, most OF
which confine themselves to the tropi-
cal regions
Only eighteen varieties live farther
north than Mexico. 1t is generally
thought that humming birds live upon
honey This. however. is a mistake.
They do deyour some honey. 1t is true,
but most Of their food consists of the
small insects which inhabit certain
flowers
The little bird is therefore useful as
well as beautiful and has been called
flower to which God has granted
wings
Humming birds are so small that
when they are captured for commercial
purposes It is impossible to use even
the smallest shot for fear of 'njuring
their skins. They are therefore stunned
with "A drop OF water from a blowgun
or syringe and fall into net. when
they are quickly poisoned.
Humming birds vary in size from
those half as large as a sparrow TO
those about the size OF n bee Their
fight is so swift that they can be well
seen only when poised on a flower.
