to permit this crust TO remain on the
plowed ground until the oats are sown
and spring blowing done. This Is the
FIRST OF May In most cases. and many
times ten days or two weeks later.
The way to save moisture Is to break
the crust with n disk or harrow and

TWO SYSTEMS OF FALL0WlNG
One Plan Permits Only One Crop OF
Wheat Being Grown In rvvo Years
Other 10 for Fodder.

The necessity OF carrying over mois
ture from one season 10 assist the
crop growth OF another has led to the
practice OF bare.fallowing.
Two systems are followed; the first
being termed bare-fallowing, in which
the land is plowed IA soon as convent.
ent after the crop Is harvested. and
left bare until wheat Is again sown
the following season. This allows OF
only one crop being grown In two
years,
Another system IL that which pro.
vides for a fodder crop and a wheat
crop In two years. After the wheat IL
harvested II IL preferable to stir thu
stubble as soon AZ possible. ~cheaply
and economically. The land remains
until February. when II Is plowed and
sown with rape or barley, or both In
conjunction. These are fed on by
stock until August or September when
the land Ia thoroughly plowed and left
iallow until March. when II Is again
plowed prior to seeding 10 wheat In
April.
This system Is satisfactory ms re-
CARDS the wheat crop, but not so for
the fodder crop, which has TO depend
upon the rains that may fall after the
wheat Ia on and throughout its
growth. Under dry conditions, to en-,
sure the fodder crop. Ave or six
