Control of Blowing Soils" Roy
Zamow. To prevent soil blowing,
haul on manure or straw with the
spreader, say, every is or 20 rods.
OF course, if the soil contains plenty
OF humus, which can be put there by
blowing under great quantities of
straw o r corn stalks or winter vetch,
soil will not blow as readily as a
light, sandy soil. The light, so-called
volcanic ash soils have a way of
pulling up and moving over to an
other county when the wind blows.
lone successful farmer has a way of
preventing soil blowing. He uses the
i~suhsurface packer to firm the soil
then lets the top soil crust by rain
and breaks the crust with a harrow.
These coarse humps will not blow
away and as the Jumps are cooler on
the north side he figures he saves
about forty per cent of the moisture.
In the fall he sows rye which holds
the soil together during the winter.
He condemns shallow plowing for q
region where soil blows badly. for

4 bottom OF the furrow keeps rising

wind skins all the loose top soil OF
