Water-Water is often the first factor
restricting production That is certainly
true in our dryland farm areas. I'm
proved tillage practices, however, are
an aid in conserving moisture received
during the falIow period. Irrigation de-
velopment has also removed water as
limiting factor.
More efficient moisture utilization
may also result from fertilizer treat
ments. If water deficiency is over

phosphate application with the seed
generally increases yields from to 5
bushels per acre. The same is also
true in our spring wheat production.
Best responses are obtained when
phosphate is applied those years when
a good subsoiI reserve exists at seeding

Organic matter in the form of barnyard

clude tillage practices, drainage, poor
structure, and eventually potash. Soil
fertility is combination of many things
which affect production. It is your
ability, with the help of others, to fer
ret out those things which may hold
yields down. The successful operator
of today, and certainly of tomorrow,
will be overcoming these factors and
others, too, step by step-and they
won't necessarily appear in the order

you may see proof of this.

Soil Fertility?
BY ARTHUR r. SHAW
Extension Agr0n0nssst

PLANTS DO NOT GROW on mineral
nutrients tplant food alone. They need
air, light, water and a medium in which
30 sink their roots for support and, of
course, to obtain plant food. The crop
producing ability of particular soil
in given climatic area should then
be the basis of soil fertility rather than
the supply of available plant nutrients.
What then are the factors and soil
characteristics which determine fer
tility or crop-producing ability of q soil?
How often have you looked across
the fence at your neighbor's crop?
After harvest you find that he har-
vested twice as much hay per acre
as you did. Why? Both of you planted
the same variety and on the same day.
For al practical purposes the soil type
is the same In further checking with
your neighbor you find that he irrigat-
ed twice and you applied water just
once
The following year you irrigate twice,
but find in the end that he still out
produced you by a ton per acre. Fur
ther checking reveals that he fertilized
his land heavily two years before and
you did not.
Limiting Factors
The above serves to emphasize that
you may be able to overcome one fac
tor in production, but you reach a point
when another factor steps in TO hold
down cop yields. This process can be
continued as long as you have control
over the limiting factor. To increase
crop yields is problem of determining
the soil condition limiting crop produc-
ton at any one time or place.
There are many factors in crop pro-
duction which you have no control over.
You cannot change soil texture, but in
time you may improve the structure.
You cannot control air temperatures,
or rainfall, or hail. or the slope of some
lands.
1t isn't easy to recognize the condi
tions which might restrict yields on
particular field, but review of sew
eral factors may help.
1t is rare that farmer would be
