In north Idaho we fallow to kill
weeds. 1t may be advisable to leave
the following till the weeds get a
good start and as many as will ger
inmate have done so. Then pillow
them all under. The green material
plowed under will decay and release
the plant food material for next
years crop. Care should be exercis-
ed throughout the summer to pre-
vent any weeds from going to seed.
Weeds on summer fallow take out
much plant food and IL the weeds
mature, they decay very slowly and
thus lock up fertility.
In the southern part of the state
the fallow is used largely in the
dry land region for the purpose Of
saving moisture. In that case the
falloW should be plowed earlier and
kept free from all growth through
out the season. The fallow should be
cultivated as often as the surface be-
comes compact. 1t is good gen
eral rule to cultivate after every
rain. 1t is generally good practice
to leave the surface rough, especial
ly in regions where winds are prev
alent. 1t Is not logical or eco
nomical practice to allow any weed
growth on the falloW, no matter what
the object of the falloW.
