cation that either soil moisture or crop
yield is increased by chiseling in the fall.
Water erosion has been greatly accelerated
by the practice, and for this reason it should
be discouraged, especially when cultivation
is not on the contour.
Fall Flowing
Fall blowing may tighten the work load
in the spring, but is considered an undesir-
able practice on dry land because it leaves
the soil bare over winter and over period
of years does not yield as well as spring
blowing
Past experiences indicate that whenever
stubble is reasonably free of weeds fall
tillage is generally not advisable. If the
stubble is very weedy at harvest some fall
tillage may prove advantageous. This should
preferably be sub-surface tillage operation,
which to be most effective should be done
as soon after harvest as possible.
Fall tillage is often necessary on fallowed
land prior to seeding winter wheat in order
to kill late terminating volunteer grains
and weeds. This type of fall cultivation is, of
course, advantageous and should not be con-
fused with fall tillage or stubble field opera
tons discussed in this article.
Montana farmer-stockman., 1951-10-01

THIS IS the time Of year when dryland
farmers are debating whether or not they
should cultivate their grain stubble after
harvest. The reason that farmers cultivate
stubble fields in the fall are several. Among
them are weed control, insect control in
creased moisture storage and a reduction
in the spring work load The types of fall
tillage most frequently used are discing, sub
tilling, blowing and chiseling.
The Montana agricultural experiment
station in cooperation with the United
States department of agriculture has been
conducting experiments with fall tillage on
dry land for many years. During this period
of time, the results obtained indicate that
whenever weed-free stubble is present
following harvest there is generally no adj
vantage in fall cultivation.
Fall Discing
Fall discing of stubble is sometimes done
with the idea of getting weeds started. Work
at other experiment stations indicates that
this practice actually discourages fall gerni-
nation of wild oats and other weed seeds
Disced stubble holds less snow than standing
stubble and for this reason it is an undesir-
able practice. Discing stubble after har-

Ed Davis, Maryland conserva-
ZIONIST, was telling the other day
about an experience some of his
workers had in an orchard in
Western Maryland.
| We have been hearing recently
that the use of large quantities
of DDT spray may allow the
chemical to build up in the soil,
thus iniuring plant growth. But
never-that is, until I talked with
Ed-had I heard there is a danger
of DDT causing grass sod to be-
come hard and packed.
Well, in this orchard in West
ern Maryland, where there was a
good, heavy bluegrass sod. Eds
men made test to see how quick
ly the ground would absorb water.
A cylinder was placed on the
grass and about a gallon of water
was poured in.
Usually in tests like this one on
grass land. the water goes on
down into the ground so fast that
it is almost impossible to time
it. But in this case no water
seeped out Of the cylinder.
Ed said the boys stood around
with their watches in their hands
waiting for something to happen.
Finally. when they scratched the
surface Of the ground, the water
seeped out OF the cylinder.
Ed said he isn't absolutely sure,
but he thinks he has the answer.
This particular orchard has been
sprayed with DDT, and, he be-
lieves. enough OF the chemical
built up in the soil to kill most
of the worms, bugs and other
earth creatures that make the
soil porous.
The result, of course, was a
firm. packed soil that would not
allow water to penetrate. Even
though there was a grass cover
ing, still the water couldn't get
through.
This is Just one more thing to
think about in the battle against
plant pests. When we tamper with
nature we sometimes get things
upset. In helping ourselves in one

Miss Lucy Burch cut down her
cherry tree, thus ending an era in
Ashburn. The reason the tree was
cut down was because the Japa-
nese beetles had harvested the
leaves for so many years that 1t
finally gave up and died.
Miss Lucy said almost every
person in Ashburn has eaten cher
ries from that tree. Sometimes
they visited the tree by stealth.
and sometimes openly. But most
people knew the flavor of those
cherries
We hope Miss Lucy will plant
another tree to replace the old
one. 1t seems to us that 1t would
be a shame to deprive the younger
generation Of a fine source Of
cherries.

A survey made Of the dogs
licensed in Denver. Colo. brought
out some interesting facts. OF
the 5000 licensed dogs, 5000 were
males and 5000 females, all but
500 Of whom were spayed. Mon
grels accounted for 5000 Of the
dogs or slightly more than half
the total. Among the purebreds
the first ten in order Of popularity
were: cocker spaniel. fox terrier.
German shepherd. Scottie, Boston
terrier. chow, bulldog, Dalmation
and Irish setter. Popularity Of

course there are more than 5000

gives out a figure that only one
