ONE DRY-FARMING NECESSITY
~subsurface Packer Is New ImpIemen
Meeting Conditions Following
Spring Flowing.

The only really new tool for soil
management invented within several
decades seems to be the subsurface
packer. All other new types Of tool
are notifications of former inven-
lions, but the subsurface packer. when
II. w. Campbell devised 1t about 1893,

In DRY Farming In Washington"
a new bulletin by Thorn and Holtz,
subsurface packing is urged as a ne.
cessity for dry farming. Immediately
following all spring blowing" Says
this bulletin: "A subsurface packer
meets the need Of just such condi-
lions In that It packs the lower OF
subsurface OF the furrow slice against
the firm soil beneath. and at the same
time 1t does not pack or fine the sur
face two or three inches, but leaves
1t loose. open and granular. a condi-

side. But perhaps the explanation Is
to be found In the following facts
stated in this bulletin: When sub
surface packing Ii delayed even for a
day or two after blowing. or until the
soil has become dried out. the use OF
the packer becomes a decided disad-
vantage. Dry soil cannot be packed

dry surface of dry soil. thereby In
creasing the liability to blowing.
Many farmers have become pref

ly for the reason that they have failed
to use the packer Immediately after
blowing, but delayed until the soil has
become too dry" Campbell's old rule
Is to pack all which has been plowed
before going In for dinner or supper.
