8-Year Study Of Tillage
Methods Summarized

troll water erosion by reducing splash
and runoff.
The two chief problems in connec-
ton with stubble mulch are in seed
ing and eultivating through heavy
trash. From the standpoint of ero-
sion control, farmers are advised to
leave as much stubble on the surface
as possible. However, the amount
actually to be left must be limited
by the amount the drill will operate
through effectively.
Where there is heavy stubble, one
OF more discings may be necessary.
Disking should not be over inches
in depth because sub-surface tillage
done much deeper than that is not
very effective in killing weeds.
If the crop is harvested with a
combine, straw spreader is recon-
Montana farmer-stockman., 1950-06-01

mended to eliminate difficulty with
straw windrows at seeding and fall
lowing times.
Tillage Tools
In the selection of sub-surface till
age implements farmers are advised
to consider size, clearance, weed kill
ing ability and sturdiness of con-
struction. A wide machine built in
sections will follow the contour of
the land better and give better weed
kills than one rigid machine. Clear
ance is needed to go through large
amounts of stubble, Russian thistles
and other surface trash without clog
ging.
The sub-surface tillers that tend to
stir the surface soil are more effec-
tive in killing weeds. Sturdiness of
construction is very important, as
bent sweeps or beams will hinder
successful tillage.
Operation
The sub-surface tiller should be
pulled at about m. p. h. and prop
erly weighed so that uniform shall
low cultivation will result. Sub
surface tillage done on warm dry
days will result in better weed kills
than if the weather is cool and damp.
Treaders made by reversing the
prongs on certain type of rotary
hoe, have been used to advantage
following sub-surface tillers under
some conditions. The treader breaks
the straw into shorter lengths,
anchors it into the soil, breaks up
clods in which weeds might con-
tinue to grow and generally results
in more easily seeded field The
treader is not recommended where
the stubble is light.
Seeding
A drill with wide spaeings between
rows will go through more stubble
mulch than one with narrower spac-
ings. The single disk drill tends to
push the straw aside instead of 60
ing directly over it as a double disk
drill does. The shoe type drill with
staggered shoes and wide spaeings
will go through a lot of trash, and
puts seed in good seeded.
Experiments in these test areas
show no advantage in soil moisture

Our research workers think they
have a good many of the answers,
but at any rate enough information
has been compiled to let the in
dividual farmer weigh the facts
against his own particular operation
and find his own answer.
You can find many of these facts
IN the recently published Montana
experiment station bulletin No. 468,
'~The Effect of Tillage Method on
Soil and Moisture Conservation in
the Plains Area of Northern Mon
tana," by Torief S. Aasheim, prof.
ect supervisor, SCS, North Montana
Branch station, Havre.
Years of Study
The bulletin reports and sum-
maries the results of years of till
age investigations conducted at Froid
and at Havre. Nine methods of fall
low were compared in the project
continuous use of the one-way, mold
board plow followed by duckfoot
and waffle packer that left the field
IN a pitted condition, mo1dboard
plow followed by duckfoot, mold
board pillow followed by rod weeder,
moldboard followed by basin lister,
continuous use of blade subsurface
cultivator and continuous use of
rf1IN
eral of these practices were varied
by burning the stubble before the
tllage operations began.
The following summary of the
effect of these various tillage meth
DDS on erosion control, moisture
conservation, crop yield, quality and
weed control is taken directly from
| the bulletin:
Erosion Control
1. Very little wind or water ero-
sion has occurred on any of the
treatments in this study.
2. Observations made on farms in
the surrounding area indicate that
north-south stripping plus a stubble
mulch or cloddy mulch are necessary
for effective control of wind erosion
on fallow.
Moisture Conservation
1. Sub-surface titled fallow worked
with q blade-type tiller has con-
tanned the most soil moisture at
seeding time.
Crop Yield
1. Yield of spring wheat has been
about the same on all methods of
falloW.
Qualify of Wheat
l. Protein content of spring wheat
has averaged highest on moldboard
plowed fallow.
z. Test weight of spring wheat has
been about the same on all methods
of fallow.
Weed Control
l. Weeds have been a little more
difficult to control on sub-surfaes
titled fallow than on fallow worked
with oneway disk or moldboart
plow.
2. Some sub-surface tillers are
more effective than others in kill
ing weeds.
8. Grain has been about equally
clean during the crop season on al
types of fallow.

Ferret Honored by Airmen
For Solving Tough Problem

RAPID CITY, S. D. An 18-
ounce ferret named Pete has been
honored by the nations air force
as the hero responsible for final
conversion of the Rapid City air
base into a key northern BIG
bomber outpost.
1t was Pete who solved the tough
problem of running an important
telephone wire through a conduit
six feet below a reinforced con-
crete runway. Engineers feared
they would have to tear UP the
runway to lay the wire.
But the ferret's owner sort OF
felt that Pete could solve the prob
lem. So, he fitted the ferret with a
harness, attached a string and
dropped him into the 2,2l0-foot long
conduit with the order: Take 1t
through, Pete"
Twenty minutes later, Pete ran
out the other end dragging the
string which was used to pull the
heavy telephone bale through the
conduit.
Pete took the line through twice
more in record time. But he was
painting when he took off on the
fourth and final trip. He stopped
halfway through the tube.
After waiting a half hour for the
tired ferret to gather wind and
complete the trip, the workmen
began t%witching the string in an
effort to dislodge Pete.
The long distance rescue efforts
continued for three hours with
no luck.
Finally Pete emerged from the
end Of the tube to be greeted by
assembled and anxious high brass,
three and one-haf hours after he
dived into the conduit.
Pete only blinked at the cheers.
Apparently he had gone to sleep
in the middle of the biggest day Of
his life.

Doctor Keeps
Body Of Wife
In Glass Case

LONDON. - DR.. Martin Van
Butchell, a distinguished London
doctor, was a man of wide learning
and skill, but he could not bear to
be parted from his wife. When she
died, he was stricken with grief
but he thought out a scheme by
which he might continue his day-to-
day life with her.
Mrs. Van Butchell alone had see
the soundness of the reasons I'M
DERIVING her husbands eccentrici-
ties. Other people were inclined to
laugh when the doctor rode a pony
painted with brilliant green and
blue spots. But Mrs. Van Butchell
agreed that since her husband had
first learned to ride on a rocking
horse, it was wise for him to keep
as close to the original as pos
sible.
DR.. Van Butchell detested but
tons and designed a garment of
white elastic wool, stretching from
ankles to neck, which served the
purpose of coat. trousers and
waistcoat all in one. His wife ap-
preciated its convenience in saw
ing a busy doctors time.
Poured Drugs in Lake
Even when the doctor visited
the Serpentine and by pouring drugs
into it turned it into a lake of medi-
cine, Mrs. Van Butchell could
never see anything but common
sense in the affair.
The doctor made very good
medicine, and so prodigious a dose
as an entire lake of it enabled
everyone to try its qualities, if
they felt so disposed.
The doctor realized how we'll it
pays to advertise. When he went
he carried a jawbone slung |
about his waist as a sign of his
profession. Once every week he sat
on his doorstep with a little tray
of cakes, tarts, sweets, apples and
nuts, and gleefully dispensed hos
pitality to the children of the dis
trict, making good friends with
them, knowing that the children of
today a be the doctors patients
of tomorrow.
Now, with all these means of add
ing to the gaiety of life lingering
only in his memory, he looked at
mis- wife's body and considered his
scheme for enjoying her company
years to come.
