ADVOCATE OF DEEP FLOWING
According to Expert Of Colorado Asrl-
cultural College. Practise Re-
quires Discretion.

lBy ALVIN KEYsER. Colorado Agrienl-
tural College,
A great deal has been said and
written about deep plowing. Some
have advocated the system in season
and out of season. for all soils. all
crops and all conditions, and others
have opposed the system. Deep plow-
Ing certainly has Its place in nearly
all systems Of agriculture. but 1t has
to be used with discretion. Deep
plowing Immediately before planting
q crop on the dry land is almost sure
to insure failure OF the crop. I'm
less rains should come Immediately
after plowing injury will surely result
because OF moisture conditions. IL
rains come Immediately afterward no
damage is done. The moral Of this
experimental fact Is that deep plow-
ing should be done a considerable
period previous to seeding time so
that the moisture relation and proper
compaction can bs completed In the
soil before seeding
Deep plowing is sometimes not ad-
visable in high attitudes because Of
the fact that growing conditions are
quite different SO that the crop does
not mature as quickly in the very
high attitudes. This is sometimes a
serious factor with such crops as the
grains II the crop is delayed In ma
turing for ten days it may be caught
by a severe freeze, running the crop.
Deep plowing. especially short time
before seeding In these attitudes some
times has the effect of delaying ma
turity more than that number OF days
II must therefore be used with caution
for crops where early maturity is a
desirable factor. This caution only
applies to the high attitudes which
have normally very short seasons.

CONSERVATION OF MOISTURE
First Essential 10 to Have Soil In Re-
ceptfve conditlon-FaIl Flowing
Helps Greatly.

It Is said that from two hundred ano
seyenty-five to six hundred tons OF wa
ter are required to produce one ton OF
dry matter for most OF the common
farm crops. In many portions Of the
United States the rainfall during the
growing months is not sufficient TO
supply the large amount OF water re-
CURED by the crops This fact lays
stress upon two things-the impor-
tanee of large water supplies in the
soil. not as stagnant water, but as
capillary water, which is for the most
part available for growing plants. and
also the importance OF the conserVa-
ton of this soil water
The first and one Of the most essen
tial steps In conserving soil moisture
Is To have and keep the surface OF the
soil In such condition that most OF the
rainfall will be received into II and
will be carried BY grayitation TO the
lower zones, where the surplus water
supply Is held until later called into
use Whenever the surface OF the soil
is baked or run together and imperEi-
GUS II is almost certain that large
portion OF every rain will not get into
the soil, but ia lost because Of surface
drainage. An effort should be made to
hold the rains of the entire year. those
Of the fall and winter and early spring
as well as those Of the growing season.
In order to succeed in accomplishing
this the surface OF the soil must be
kept loose and open SO that as rapidly
as the rain falls It may be taken into
the upper soil. from which 1t can work
down into the great storehouse be-
meath.
Fall plowing helps greatly to put
the soil on the surface In condition to
take up all the rainfall After the
hardened crust 10 broken the water en-.
ters freely. The ridges and hollows
OF the plowed surface also act as ba-
sins which hold snow and rain until
they soak into the soil. Early spring
plowing and disking also play an i'm
portant part In putting the surface soil
In condition To retain and take In a
maximum amount Of water.
The second step in soil moisture
conservation Is to save the water
which has entered the soil. This can
best be done by cultivation. The rea.
son Is as follows. Water Ia carried
from the lower zones OF the soil BY
capillary. 1t raises in the soil from
soil particle to soil particle. and finally
1t reaches the surface Of the soil and
Is lost by evaporation unless the up
ward movement Is checked by some
agency. Now. cultivation creates this
agency-namely, a soil mulch. The
principle OF moisture conservation by
mulches is we'll established. There Is
no practical method for saving soil
moisture except by the use OF the
mulch.
