Strip Farming Survey
Continued from Page One)

stored for the 1895 crop. Results were
as follows: SO farmers averaged liz
bu. of wheat per acre on summerfal-
low, SO farmers averaged 6l2 bu. per
acre on land not summerfallowed.
Many farmers who became discour-
aged with summerfallow due to loss
OF soil by blowing are now turning to
strip farming as indicated by a survey
recently completed. In 1885 over 3d.
600 acres of summerfallow was in
strips or over one-third of the total
OF $4,000 acres in fallow in Sheridan
County. The $1,000 acres of fallow in
1895 is a 10000 acre increase over the
$4,000 acres Summerfallowed in 1884.
The 1884 acreage in fallow was small
largely due to unfavorable weather
conditions.
The point upon which most farmers
who have tried strip farming seem to
agree is that strips should not be too
wide. The most successful results are
obtained when strips were from IL to
Is rods wide, preferably the narrower.
Whether summerfallow and wheat
should alternate or whether summer
fallow should be included every third
year is another debatable point. Many
farmers feel satisfied that the alter
nate method (wheat after fallow) in
a two-year rotation is the better. This
IS substantiated by experiments which
show hat fallow increases yields of
wheat as much over non-fallow in the
alternate method as in the 3-year ro-
tation (fallow, wheat-wheat.) To in
sure against drought usually when an
nual rainfall is below Is inches the
alternate method is the most profit
able.
Summerfallow reduces hazards
from drought as shown by expert
ments conducted over an Is year per-
iod at Havre. Yields from fallow were
a failure (less than 5 bu. per acre)
only two out of the IS years. Yields
from non-fallow were a failure s out
of the IS years or a times as much of
a hazard from drought. This expert
ment indicates that fallow does give
considerable protection from drought
