SUMMER FALLoW IS FAVORED
Keep Land Free From Weeds During
Uneropped Season and Till to Pre-
vent Formation Of Crust

The success OF dry farming has been
dependent on following out certain
well defined practices. One OF the
practices found most necessary is the
summer fallow. By which crops are
raised only during alternate years and
the land titled during the uncropped
summer In order to aid in holding the
moisture. Some farmers think that
il they leave the land uncropped they
are doing all that is necessary. They
allow the weeds to grow in great pro-
fusion. These remove much mois-
ture as a crop. 50 nothing has really
been gained by the so-called fallow.
The only safe way is to keep the land
free from weeds during the uncropped
year and to till often enough to pre-
vent the formation OF crust Tflage
