HOWDY FOLKS,


These windy days have had old Con-
servation Charley looking at his hole
cards on wind erosion control. Research
reports are about as dry as the wealth
er but they contain the answers and
the principles.
Saltation. Now there's a six-bit word
for you, and it doesn't mean hauling
salt to the livestock. Stumped me. too,
so looked it up. Dictionary says it
means advancing by leaping'' but
since was reading about wind erosion
! had to find out what the research
specialist meant when he used the word.
Well, that's the meaning he uses, too,
but there's more to it than that.
Seems that when the wind blows
across bare soil it first blows off the
very fine dust and then starts some
larger particles moving. 1t can't pick
them up but it starts them rolling and
then bouncing. They bounce like a
stone skipped across pond, and that's
saltation-"a advancing by leaping."
But let's not stop there. Every time
the particle bounces it kicks up splash
just like that stone going across the
pond. Particles in the splash start
bouncing, too, knocking more particles
loose-regular chain-reaction that ex-
plodes into cloud of soil. Now, wind
erosion control measures are generally
based on control of "saltation." If that
bouncing particle falls into furrow it
stops right there-if enough particles
fall into a furrow, it's filled up and
then the chain-reaction starts again.
You know that you can't get any
bounces out of stone when you skip
it across a narrow ditch. You guessed
it! That's how strip cropping stops wind
erosion. And you can't make that stone
skip through a good stand of cattails-
Stubble mulch has the same effect on
the .faIlow.
Then three methods of stopping "Sal
tation''-the chain-reaction of wind ero
Sion-are: 1. Clods and burrows on the
soil surface. 2. Stubble mulch. 8. Strip
cropping across the wind. Any one o.
these can do the job most of the time
but it takes a combination of all three
to give maximum protection under al
conditions. You wouldn't buy fire in
surance for your house which paid onl!
on fires started by lightning when yol
could be insured against any and al
fires for a couple more dollars-o
would you?
'Conservingly yours,
