CONTROL OF SOIL MOISTURE
Many Gardeners Not Doing Much to
Increase Supply Of Humus-cover
Crops Are Valuable.

Most market gardeners depend upon
the supply Of soil humus and upon till.
age operations to control soil moisture.
Both factors are exceedingly import
ant. Soils which are well charged with
humus or decaying organic matter
usually contain enough moisture to
grow good crops of vegetables, pro-
yided the soil is properly titled. A host
Of growers, however, are not doing as
much as they might to increase the
humus supply of the soil. It is I'M
necessary to rely wholly upon stable
manures. Cover crops Of crimson GLOW.
er, rye, vetch, oats, etc. are usually
easy to start and their value in adding
to the humus content OF the soil is
very great.

LONDON, Oct. 2l.-The allies are at
tempting turning movement IN France
and Belgium This much is admitted
in military headquarters The belief Is
current that whatever is being aimed
at is the rolling back OF the German
right from the vicinity of Newport and
Ostend. IL is freely admitted that the
fleet is in action and that the naval
brigade is cooperating with the Bel
gians. The inference. therefore, is that
the German extreme right has been
found weaker than was anticipated and
that the allies are taking advantage OF
this fact before additional reinforce.

STUBBLE AFTER HARVESTING
Anything That VIII Thoroughly Stir
Surface Of Soil VIII, Prevent
Loss Of Moisture.
(By ALVIN KEYsER. Agronomist. Colo
RADIO Experiment Station.)


RADIO Experiment station)
Land in growing small grain is well
shaded. This shading, with the pro.
lection furnished by the crop from
winds, amounts in practice to a very
effectual mulch so that loss Of water
from the soil by direct evaporation is
almost reduced to a minimum.
The only loss is the amount taken
up by the plants. When grain is har-
vested the soil is left in condition to
lose water from two sources. First
and most important is the loss Of water
through the growth Of weeds; second.
on the heavier soils there is some loss
by evaporation from the surface which
causes contraction OF the soil followed
by more or less severe cracking. This
permits the air to penetrate farther
and thus dry out the soil to a consid-
cradle depth. Weeds, however. are
usually the most severe source Of loss
at this period.

Once a year the farmer has to NIL

mad to spend sc cents. The average
cost was Ga cents.
The cost OF labor varies considera-

satisfactory method the investigators

gines were used, one man to feed the
cutter and one man in the silo to
spread and tramp the silage Each

This makes a crew Of eight or nine
men. exclusive Of the man who tends

t2) In cases where there is a short
age of teams the following method is
generally practiced. One man, with
three horses, cuts the corn; two men
load the wagons in the field; two men,
or boys, with teams, haul the corn to
the cutter; one man unloads the
wagons; one man feeds and one man
works in the silo. AS soon as a load
arrives at the cutter the teamster
changes his team for an empty wagon
and goes back to the field after anoth-
er load. Wnen a wagon Is unloaded
it is run out of the way by hand. With
this method, boys who are not strong
enough to handle the green corn, can
be utilized to drive the teams. This
method requires a crew of six men
and two boys. exclusive of the engine

arrangement Of men and teams is a
