must be considered. Nothing al
prove this more convincingly than
the soil auger.
1T is very desirable, so far as
possible, to not only carry the high
percentage Of moisture at the top OF
the firm soil. Immediately below
the mulch, but also TO induce free
access of air throughout the entire
growing season The ideal condi-
ton to furnish this ,ir is to cover
the firm soil with a granular mulch,
neither too fine nor too coarse. To
obtain this ideal mulch, the cult
walton must be lone when the soil
is moist-not wet or dry. The
loosened soil soon dries, leaving
the firm soil moist to the top. This
is usually easy to obtain in sandy
soils, but to do this properly in
heavy soils it is sometimes neces-
sary to go over the field a second
time, after first going over Just
enough to loosen the top when the
surface is simply dry enough not
to stick. This prevents the crust
ing or drying out. Then the second
operation should come one to four
days later, after the free water has
gone down, leaving the soil moist,
when it more readily separates,
and makes a finer and much more
effective mulch. This procedure
means much to the tree, as a
higher PERCENTAGE OF moisture is
held in the root zone and a crust
ing and cloddy mulch is prevented,
THE high value of this plan Of
preparation and one seasons cult
walton before the setting of the
trees or vines, is borne out by the
interesting results obtained from
careful summer filling for wheat,
oats and barley, and the precise
ness Of time in doing this work is
Just as vital. There are numerous
records Of large yields of wheat as
high as 40 to 60 bushels per acre,
grown on correctly summer titled
land, where nearby fields, prepared
and sowed under the more COM
mon plan of any old way yielded
very poorly or nothing at ALL"

partment Bulletin No. 10" deals

increased fertility by tillage. Bull

to visit a farm or ranch where the

in preparation OF land for crops and
subsequent cultivation, which have
proven so successful In raising
grain crops on Western semi-ar1d
lands without irrigation, are prov
ing successful for crops raised IN
der irrigation and for orchards and
vineyards, according to Hardy w.
Campbell, Farm Adviser for the
Southern Pacific Company. Camp
bell has inspected this season a
number OF new orchards and vine
yards in California, Oregon, Ne
vada, Arizona, and New Mexico.
Campbell Is the man who evolved
what Is now called the Campbell
System of Dry Farming" Camp
bell, however, objects to the word
dry" and insists that the princi-
pies used in his present plan apply
to all kinds Of farming, with or
without litigation, as well as under
a much lower rainfall than even
now is commonly conceded neces-
sary for successful crops. Camp
bell emphasizes the importance OF
proper preparation Of the seed-bed
and sufficient intelligent cultivation
afterwards.
Campbell arranged to address the
Nebraska Bankers Association at
Omaha, September 20 on the sub
ject of "Soil Fertility by Utility
Of Soil Water" and to discuss the
same subject before the Minnesota
Bankers Association at Minneapo-
lis. On his return from these con-
ventions he will stop at Yuma,
Arizona, to investigate conditions
there.
Interesting evidence Of the direct
effect Of properly prepared lands
was recently received by Campbell
from 4 Metropolis, Nevada. grain
field prepared under his direction,
in the form of three stools of wheat.
One stool had 81 stalks, one 1903 and
one 100, each the result Of n grain
of wheat drilled in well prepared
soil that was literally supplied with
fertility through well planned and
timely work. This crop was raised
without irrigation, but was pre-.
pared for by summer tillage In 1921
and grown this year.
More evidence of what cultiva.
ton of a growing crop means was
sent to Campbell by A B. Shield
OF Delano, Kern County, California,
in four heads of wheat from q
stool grown on Shields ranch. This
stool had ample space and was
cultivated while growing, no fertil,
izers or irrigation being used. The
stool contained forty-four heads
averaging rs grains each or slightly
over 9400 grains from n stool.
Such results, says Campbell, sim,
ply mean that under certain phys
ical conditions brought about by
the right kind of tillage at the
proper time, very much more grain,
fruit or vegetables may be grown

very emphatically in the affirma-
tive.

that at the end OF the first ten

OF fifty they were resigned to any
