FARMING TO
HALT SOIL BLOWING
BY County Agent M. J.. Peterson

BY County Agent M. J. Peterson
Many famers have noticed that the
first 10 or Is rod strip on the west
side OF a large field Is quite free from
soil blowing. The farther into the
field the greater the amount OF soil
in motion. A farmer who noticed
this decided that if narrow strips of
land ere not stirred up by the wind
why not farm In arr strips and
keep his soil at home. Naturally II
one farmer has his farm in strips
but his neighbor to the west does
not, he cannot control soil blowing.
1t is an affair for a community ra-
Their than any one individual.
Strip farming is a simple method
to apply to areas where soil blowing
is a problem. Strips are laid out
north and south from 5 to IL to the
half mile or from 13 1-3 to 20 rods In
width. The narrower strips are used
where soil blowing is very bad.
These strips should be of correct
width to prevent unnecessary waste
and depend on the width OF machin-
cry used by a farmer.
This Is not an ideal method but Is
one OF the best known at the present
time. A summary OF advantages
and disadvantages is given below:
Advantages
/. Prevents soil blowing.
2. Insures a $3.50 proportion of
fallow and crop.
8. Encourages a better type OF
farming.
4. Provides for a variety Of crops
in the same field without incOnven-
fence.
s. Makes It convenient to provide
for a pure seed plot.
6. Allows operator to take advan-
tage Of uneven ripening In different
parts Of the fi~eld-reduces hail haz-
ard.
7. Is practical for large units oper-
ated with large machinery.
Disadvantages
/. Requires more turning and leav-
es mOr corners to work out
Q. May mean loss OF some land at
ends of strips.
d. oOuhc uiu6oc HIIhy c lOiuucu d.
ong west side Of stubble strips IL
strips are too wide (may ~necessitate
moving strip eastward a few rods.)
4. SometiWes necessary to destroy
a strip of weeds In the fall along the
west side OF stubble strip (this can
be largely Obviated by back furrow-
ing along grain when blowing fallow
strips.)
5. Leaves borders to poison
in case OF grasshopper infestation.
6. Operating costs slightly higher.
