KEEPING SOIL FROM BLOWING
Condition Results From Removal Of
Humus From Land by continu.
Gus Cropping With Grain.

In many areas the lands of the west
ern states are giving much trouble
to those who till them. because Of the
lifting Of the soil with the kind. This
condition results from the removal OF
the humus from the land in conse-
quence Of continued cropping with
grain from year to year. Because OF
this condition the crops in many In.
stances fail because Of the removal
Of the covering through the force OF
the wind. OF course the first aim
should be on the part Of those who
work such lands to destore the humus.
says the Denver Field and Farm. This
is brought about by sowing grass or
alfalfa, the roots Of which will bind
the soil. But in practice the farmer
cannot lay down all the blowing soil
that he may have in a single year. He
should manage to get the part not un.
der control into grass.
Certain principles apply to the han.
ding Of these blowing lands. First.
they should not be summer-fallowed in
the ordinary way. To summer-fallow
them. the more that they are worked
the more they will blow. They may be
managed by plowing as late as pos.
sible but before the maturing Of any
weed seeds. Let grain be sown on
such land at once, preferably a mix.
ture Of grains to be pastured. The
soil will not blow thus managed. The
roots Of the grain plants remain un.
til spring.
When grain is drilled In amid those
roots the following spring the soil will
not blow. Another plan is to drill in
peck Of milo maize or kaflr. The
harrow may still be used to keep the
field clean.
There may be some objections to
handling the land thus. but they will
not outweigh the advantages that
come from disking rather than plow.
ing. When winter grains are sown
1t may answer sometimes to drill them
in amid the stubble in the early au.
tumn without disking or plowing.
This may answer quite well when
weeds are not numerously present
amid the stubble. II fall grain is har.
rowed after 1t is up to retain moisture
this should be done with great eau.
ton. II narrowed just when the grain
is beginning to appear this should be
done only after a rain and when the
ground is dry enough to produce large
granules when narrowed. But such
soil may be safely narrowed when the
grain Is several inches high. lndis.
Greet narrowing may do great damage
to crops on such soils.

to the trade provided Brown would be
snapped back il the Cubs put in a
claim for Brown. This was accepted
by Tinker and the deal was concluded.
