CULTIVATION INSTEAD

Utah Agricultural College Weekly
News Letter

Man cannot control the amount OF
moisture that falls, but he can con-
troll the amount of cultivation that he
gives his soil BY cultivation he may
more nearly approach the benefits
derived from ample precipitation than
through any other method.
This has been dry year; one that
has given ample opportunity to test
the Gospel of moisture preservation
through consistent cultivation. Has
the land which was plowed deep and
kept open with sponge like tendency
of absorbing all the moisture that
fell, from which the weeds were kept
cleared and over which fine blank
ct or mulch was kept that prevented
the moisture below from eYaporating
produced half-matured, wilted,
stunted crop? Compare the crops on
such land with those uncultivated
lands or lands that have received
partial cultivation and decide which is
the better process Now is the time to
take notes. compile data. make COM
PARSONS, and drew conclusions. Prac-
tically all the West has suffered from
lack of moisture. but the careful farm
er who had properly cared for his
ground previous to and after plant
ing has suffered less than his neigh
Dor who planted without taking any
heed Of the principles on which sue
cessful farming Is based
Plow the land In the fall. Pillow II
deep. Keep II loose. DO not let II
pack or bake. DO not let II crack aud
thus let all the moisture that Is stored
escape, Keep II clean, for weeds as
wells as useful crops absorb
moisture. If irrigation is practiced
stir the soil when possible after wat
ering and thus preserve the 80 or IS
per cent that goes off in evaporation
Late spring blowing of land covered
with vegetation increases the loss Of
soil moisture. This land should be
plowed early so as to kill the growth
before II has consumed the moisture
content of the soil. The ground should
be carefully watched. Different kinds
of soil need different treatments. Gull
tivate the ground, for cultivation con-
serves the much needed moisture and
insures good crops II any one is
suffering because of the drouth, now
Is the time to get busy preparing the
soil to hold all the water that reaches
