In lighter stubble but different types of
machinery may be required in heavy
Stubble
Z Last spring, Udelhoven made the first
cultivation of his land with the tiller,
mounting the straight blade On the Sec
ond operation, the cultivator sweeps were
mounted in place of the straight blade.
These sweeps have been found to be very
effective. They require less power to pull
and seem to do just as good work as the
straight blade. Udelhoven said that in the
future he would probably abandon the use
OF the straight blade because the V-shaped
blades clean themselves of trash more
readily.
Discing Necessary
After the second blading, he attempted
to use the rod weeder but found it impos-
slble to do effective work because of the
large amount of stubble at the surface He
then weighted his disc and pulled it over
the ground, just giving enough angle to
the two sections to knock the stubble down.
This worked well and he had no trouble
pulling the rod weeder in the subsequent
operation
Udelhoven is convinced that he has been
able to increase the conservation of mois-
ture by this tillage system. The surface
stubble retards the wind velocity and
serves as trap for soil moving along the
field. A tillage system that leaves the
stubble anchored at the surface is much
more desirable than one that chews up the
straw and covers it with soil.
Weed control is one of the serious prob
lens OF this program. The increased mois-

Stubble Insulates Soil
Checks Erosion, Moisture Loss

ion, Moisture Loss
BY tom MENDEL

IT'S LIKE KEEPING lid on your land
Stubble mulch tillage or trash farming
keeps the stubble of the previous crop at
the surface of the plowed fields. The stub
BILE provides an insulation that delays the
drying out of the top soil, retards wind
and water erosion holds snow and speeds
up the absorption of rain.
It's to maintain this insulation of his soil
that Graydon Udelhoven, who operates in
northern Fergus county, has practiced an
extreme type of trash farming for the last
two seasons.
Udelhoven, soil conservation district
supervisor, now uses Subsurface type til
Ter almost exclusively on about 500 acres of
summerfallow each year in place of the
disc pillow he had used previously.
In this experiment his objective has been
to leave, if at all possible, an even greater
amount of stubble at the surface than in
normal practice. He hopes to leave enough
stubble to catch the snow to serve as bonus
moisture for the winter wheat In this
area, normal fallow strip will be blown
clear of snow in the winter.
Heavy Stubble Problem
Udelhoven reports that he has been
handicapped in his work with stubble
mulch by extra heavy stubble over much
of his land the past two seasons. While
the blade works well in this type of stubble,
he has had difficulties with the rod weeder
and the serni-deep-furrow disc drill he uses.
Trash builds up around the support arms
of the ordinary weeder and drill, plugging
them up. This would not be SO prevalent

Tells Facts on Dread Malady
What About Polio?

cold with mild stiffness of the
neck and some muscular aches
and pains, and who probably
would not have bothered to con-
suit a physician were it not for
all the polio publicity. These per-
sons recover completely in a mat
ter of days and have absolutely
no after effects.
With increased suspicion for
the disease, therefore, it will be
conceivable for new record" to
be established each year, and the
number of reported cases can
soar to alarming heights. Most
workers agree that despite the
increasing number of reported
cases we are finding fewer of the
paralytic type. Of all cases re-
ported, something less than so
percent develop any signs of par
alysis.
Assuming that 1000 cases might
be reported in Ohio in 1850, only
1000 would give any evidence
of paralysis. Of the 1000 who do
show signs of paralysis, so per-
cent will recover without any
serious handicap. This means that
only 100 out of 1000 cases will die
or be obviously crippled. Con-
sidering Ohio's 8 million popula-
ton, one out of every 1000 per-
sons in the state would be report
ed as having polio BY the same
token, a given person would have
only one chance in 10000 of dying
or being seriously crippled with
polio.
Another factor has been the
cause of great concern among the
public, and that is the increasing
number of polio cases occurring
in the older age group. This does
not represent any change in the
character of the disease, but, if
we can accept the theory just dis
cuSsed that polio is a common,
widespread disease, it would ap-
pear to represent favorable de-
velopment. Epidemiologically, an
advancing age range for wide
spread communicable disease in
dicates lowering prevalence. The
fact that polio is effecting older
persons would mean that the pre-
valence is actually decreasing, be-
cause more individuals, who are
still susceptible, are reaching
adult life.
Outside the realm of theory, a
number of facts concerning polio
myelitis have been established:
/. Pono spreads mainly from
person to person.
2. The fly is not an important
J carrier. While scientific fly con-
troll programs are worthwhile and
will improve the general health OF
an area, no measurable effect car
be expected on the incidence Of
polio in that area.
