STORAGE OF SOIL MOISTURE
Several Factors Are Cited In BuIIetIn
Issued by the Nebraska Expert
ment Station.

The Nebraska experiment station
has Just recently issued a bulletin on
THE Storage and Tee OF Soil Mois-
ture." This bulletin Is a brief discus
sion OF work done at the North Platte
substation relative to the storage and
use OF soil moisture. II treats OF the
possibilities OF storing water In the
soil during certain periods. to be used
later In conjunction with the rainfall.
Several OF the factors influencing h
storage Of water In the soil are dis
cussed.
Summer tillage has been the most
effective method OF storing water. but
even by this method only from 10 TO
81 per cent OF the seasonal rainfall
has been stored In the soil. A discus
sion OF the amount OF water retained
by summer tillage during each OF the
past several years shows that the
amount OF water stored varies with
the amount and distribution OF the
rainfall during the period covered by
the summer tillage. II has been found
that water stored In the soil before
seeding Is n safeguard against drought.
but 1t has not beer found possible to
store enough water In the soil before
seeding to mature q crop without sub
sequent rains.
Disking small grain stubble has
proved beneficial by preventing weed
growth. whenever there has been suf-
hcient moisture In the soil at harvest
time to produce a crop OF weeds. or
where rains have come early enough
to start weed growth.
Flowing has been better than disk
ing, In that It more thoroughly kills
all weed growth. and in the case OF
heavy rains plowed land will absorb
water han disked land. because
It is more thoroughly stirred.
Artificial mulches OF straw or hay
have proved more effective than soil
mulches In absorbing and retaining
water from rains.
Spring wheat. oats, barley and corn
feed to an average depth Of four feet
in this soil. Winter wheat feeds to a
depth OF six or seven feet. Alfalfa
and grasses use water from greater
depths.
Weeds are the greatest agency for
the loss OF water from the soil. Pre-
venting weed growth has been more
important from the standpoint of stor'
ing water In the soil than cultivating
the soil to produce any kind OF a
mulch.
