CONSERVATION
METHODS TESTED
Tests Show Corn Ground to Con-
tain Most Moisture

BrookingS, S. D.. Sept. 70, Nine
distinct methods of farming are be-
ing tested by the agronomy depart
ment of the state college for the
purpose of learning what system of
farming best conserves soil moisture.
These tests have been under way on
the experiment stations plots at Cot
tonwood, Eureka, Highmore and
Brookings. In time it will be posi-
ole to give definite information
with figures-on which method of
rotating crops will best conserve soil
moisture.
A recent number of the Country
Gentleman referred to the expert
mentS as follows: Just by accident
one of the agronomv experts at the
South Dakota Agricultural college
discovered last spring that land
which had grown AZ bushels of corn
to the acre the previous year con
tanned "A per cent of water, while a
field just across the road which had
produced II bushels of wheat per
acre contained only II per cent of
water" This was a striking demon
stration of moisture conservation by
a cultivated crop.
Mr.. Champlin, assistant agron-
omist at the college is grateful for
the good mention by an eastern pub
LEGATION. but protests that the dis
covery was not accidental. 1t came
as the result Of a series of well de-
fined experiments, referred to in
the foregoing.

Road improvements

Commissioners Davis and Mark

Murtry and Erickson, from Hand,
we're here last Thursday looking
over the county line road north of
town. The washington Club have
been agitating the question of fix
ing up this road and through their
efforts the commissioners from each
county appropriated the sum of 5000
each to be used for that purpose.
AT the conference Thursday it was
decided to put the work INTO the
hands of Mr. McMurtry who agrees
to look after the work and see that
it is done properly. The main part
of the work will be put on the grade
at Rcid's Lake, but 1T is hoped that
there will be enough of the appro-
prlation remaining after this is
completed to fix no several smaller
places along the road. Mr. McMur-
try can be depended upon, to make
the appropriation go as far as posi-
