seed as well as to supply moisture
from below.
There is another factor that enters
and tends to counteract the good ef.
fects of rolling. The smooth sur.
face produced will offer less resistance
to the wind and consequently the sand
will blow and evaporation will go on
more rapidly. This may be prevented
by following the roller Immediately
with light harrow. The roughened
surface lessons the blowing of sand
and also forms a dust mulch which
retards evaporation as well.
II the corrugated roller or clod
crusher is used, the harrow is not
needed because this roller itself
leaves the surface In decidedly
ridged condition. The effect OF COM
pacting sand soils can best be seen
by the increase In termination Of
grain, wherefore wagon was driven
over the field after seeding. II used
properly, the roller is one of the most
important Of all farm tillage imple-
ments.
