TO. H1ERblHATE Weeds
Summer Following Used in
Montana to Rid Land Of
Noxiqus Plants.
(By Harvey Griffin. Editor Montana

(By Harvey Griffin, Editor Montana
Farmer.)
In Montana We faAlow to kill weeds
1t may be advisable to leave the fall
lowing until. the weeds get good start
and as many as will terminate have
done so. The green material plowed
under will decay and release the plant
food material for next years crop. Care
should be exercised throughout the
summer to prevent any weeds from GO
Ing to seed. Weeds on summer fall
low take out much plant food and if
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 mois-
ture. In that case the fallow should
be cultivated as often as the surface
becomes compact. 1t is good general
rule to cultivate after every rain. 1t is
generally good practice to leave the
surface rough. especially in regions
where winds are prevalent.
Fallowing is sometimes practiced to
rest the land The crop following the
fhllow is usually much better than the
preceding one so that the idea that
the land needed rest" is natural one
What really happens is this: There is
considerable organic matter. that Is
dead roots, stems, etc. which conGs,in
nitrogen, "a valuable plant food mate
rial. But this nitrogen is not in a
form that the plants can use until the
organic matter is dccayed. Cultvating
the summer fallow makes the condi-
tons ideal for decay. The nitrogen is
changed to the form of nitrates. Nj
trates are available for plant use.
Therefore, the crop following a fall
low, having an abundance of nitratcs.
makes Il good growth: obviously, too,
the fallow will ultimately help to run
down the fertility.
The nitrates while very easily OBJ
tanned by plants. are also very easily
washed away In the drainage water.
Therefore. if we have heavy fall
rains, much of the available nitrogen
will be lost. Heavy rains any time
after the spring cultivation are likely
to wash out nitrates. Ii we have a
cultivated crop, as peas, corn or pota-
toes, the extra nitrates are more apt
to be used by the crop and thus saved.
Sometimes failow is allowed to grow
to wild oats and pastured. 1t would be
more economical practice to seed field
for pasture and keep the fallow clean.
1t Is not a logical or economical prac-
tice to allow any weed growth on the
fallow, no matter what the object of
the .fallow.
