Weed Burning'Fa tal
To Soil And Grass

sent by the U. S. Soil EroSlOn SefVAce'
Pullman, Wash, to all those In the
semi-arid sections of Washington, IDA
no and Oregon that the practice OF
burning the vegetation from Idle lands
should be stopped. This must be done
if the conditions confronting the farm
ers of these districts are to be helped.
Since, in many parts of the Northwest,
cheat and other weeds seem to be COM
bining to make agricultural conditions
worse, numerous farmers have taken
up burning as a means OF compaCClng
the spread of weeds or in hope OF IN
creasing the grass stands. II such
burning is necessary for insect control
the practice is forgivable; however,
from the standpoint of the vegetative
covering there are four very detrimen-
tai results. A. l.. Hafenrichter OF the
Soil Erosion Service staff at Pullman
who has carefully investigated the
conditions and such practices In the
Northwest, points out:
| /. That the run-off of what precipi-
tation may occur in these seml-arld
sections will be greatly increased. Every
farmer is vitality concerned with con-
serving every possible bit of moisture,
and the removal Of the vegetatiye COW
ering will mean the loss Of some of
that moisture This, in turn, means
even lower crop yields as the scant
supply of moisture available for plant
| Growth will be even further decreased.
2. There will be great increase IN
the tendency for the soil to drift. The
necessity for keeping the vegetation
whether it be cheat, sage brush, OF
alfalfa, is brought home forcibly each
time one OF the common wind storms
occur. Those who farm in the areas
know the seriousness Of this phase Of
the problem and must realize that the
practice of burning off the vegetation
will only increase the difficulty.
3. Actual experiments have shown
that while burning may kill fifty PEI
cent OF the cheat it gives mustard
one hundred per cent opportunity X
grow. Thus, while we are PARTIAL,
doing away with one enemy OF tn
farmer we are only increasing tn
forces behind the lines.
! d. While we are killing the chea
we are also killing the tiny grass seed
lings upon which the future gras
stands of all these areas must depene
: True enough, it will take Garrett
! examination to disclose these tin
) plants, however numerous small seed
lings are only awaiting an opportunit
. to develop.
9 1t is a long established fact the
both the yield and quality Of grass
o greatly decreased on burned are
, Thousands of acres Of this idle or ove1
a grazed land is, therefore, being pushe
, even further beyond the limit OF HI
10 man subsistence.
There are two types of burns pre-
alent in the area-those which are II
territorial and those which are acc
dental. 1t is sincerely hoped that
n any time there is possibility OF raj
way right-of way fires or similar blaz
no spreading that every precautlon W
be taken. In the second place, eve
farmer within these areas must tu1
/, realize at once that he is deStroyll
