PREPARING FOR WHEAT
DISKING SHOULD BE USED IN
CONNECTION WITH PLOWING.
GOOD SOIL TILLAGE LESSON
Listing U Good Method of Preparing
Seed Bed, Providing Work Is Well
Done—Plow Pulverize* and
Inverts the Soil.
Disking is a deBlrable method of pre-
paring the seed-bed when used in con-
nection with plowing, but It is a poor
method when used alone. In a trial
at the Kansas agricultural college a
plot that had not been plowed for
three years but where the seed-bed
had been prepared by disking Just be-
fore planting, produced only 9 1-3 bush-
els of wheat. The average yield for
the last three years from seed-beds
similarly prepared has been only 6 2-3
bushels to the acre. This yield is not
sufficient to pay for the cost of pro
duction. On lighter types of soil, in
the central and western parts of the
suite, this method has produced satis-
factory crops of wheat for a single
season, but when the method is fol-
lowed year after year It cannot be ex-
pected to equal plowing or any other
good method of preparation.
Two plots were double disked July
15. One of these was plowed Aug. 15
and the other Sept. 15. The plot
plowed Aug. 15 produced 29% bushels
of wheat an acre. The plot plowed
Sept. 15 produced 27% bushels an
acre. This Is a difference of 2V4 bush
els an acre in favor of the earlier date
of plowing. For the best results ground
that is double disked early in the sum
mer should be plowed within a month
after disking. If the plowing is post-
poned later than this much of the
moisture saved by the early disking
will be lost by the rank growth ot
By Pulvarizlng Top of Land Two o
ThrM Inches Escape of Molstum
la Effectually Prevented.
A practical and successful sooth-
western man recently made this state-
ment to the Interstate Farmer:
"I had a field of ordinary upland
Boll, and undertook to plow It about
ten dayB after cutting a crop of wheat
I found it too dry to plow. I quit try-
ing and got out the disk. I disked the
surface of that field, but of course
could not go deep. Two weeks later
I went in with the plow, and found
that I could do a pretty good Job of
plowing, though there had not been a
drop of rain in the meantime."
The statement was questioned, but
It was a fact;
When the first attempt to plow was
made, the soil had dried out on ac-
count of the numerous cracks made
by the efTect of the Bun and the wind.
These cracks quickly extend as deep
as the soil has been plowed. After
they are formed, the moisture is per-
mitted to escape through them and is
carried away in the atmosphere. So

Summer tilling Is one part of better

Irrigation is not available, writes H.
W. Campbell In Dry Farming. It is a
line of work that is far from being gen-
erally understood or appreciated, for
the reason that many know nothii\g
about it, and many more, not under-
standing the principles have made mis-
takes in attempting to carry out the
work.
It Ib so easy for u« to be content In
the thought that we are doing all
right, when we really are quite wrong.
Then, again, our mind Is drawn to
other fields of work that we conceive
to be more Important, causing us to

stopped the cracks and pores, and pre-
vented the further escape of the ris-
ing moisture. But the moisture con-
tinued to rise, through the lower sec-
tions of the cracks and by capillary
action. Being prevented from escap-
ing into the atmosphere, it collected
in the soil just under the pulverized
surface, and soon soft'oned it so that
it could be plowed.
This lesson is one of the most valu-
able that can be learned in soil Ull-
age. It is a theory that works out
weeds and volunteer wheat that grow j perfectly in practice. Of course there
All the more vigorously after the must bQ moigture in the subsoil;
ground has been disked. Also, If the
plowing Is not done before the middle
of September there Is not sufficient
time to preparp a firm seed-bed foi
time for planting. There is absolute
ly no doubt of; the benefit resulting
from double disking ground early in
the season when it cannot be plowed
* or listed. Double disking early in
the summer not only insures an in
• creased yield of wheat, but holds mols
lure In the ground so that the plowing
can #be done later with greater ease
and at less expense.
listing is a good method of prepar
iug a seed bed for wheat, providing the
work 1b properly done. Ground can be
listed more rapidly than it can be
plowed, thus where a large acreage ot
ground is to be prepared it can be
prepared earlier in the season by list
ing than by plowing. It is advisable
however, when listing is the general
practice followed, to plow the land oc
caslonally. The plow pulverizes and
inverts the soil more thoroughly ihan

better physical condition.
must be
otherwise, though the tops of the
"chimneys" or cracks may be closed,
the disking will not avail much, for
there, will be no moisture to rise, and
consequently none to stop. This illus-
trates the very reason why stubble
land should be disked immediately be-
hind the binder, as the sun and wind
quickly opens up the cracks and re-
leases the moisture in the top soil,
and then that in the subsoil unless
this is done.
LESS DANGER' FROM DISEASE
Weeds and Trash Removed From
Roads Tends to Sweeten Ground and
Eliminate Stagnant Pools.
A powerful argument in favor of j
good roads is the fact that they make
for the better health of the community j
Weeds and trash have no place in the i
good road scheme, and their removal |
means a free airing and sweetening ot
the ground where stagnant water may j
have been in the habit of standing
end a consequent elimination of breed
Ing places for flies and mosquitoes
This means far less danger from con
.tagious diseases.
Then there is the question of dust
A well surfaced road gives a minimum
of dust to the air, and much danger
from infection is thue saved. If the
surface is oiled in the bargain, this
'danger is almost entirely negligible.
Good roads mean dry feet and free
dom from the colds which are caused
by wet shoes, especially in the case ol
school children and others who are
compelled to paas on foot. And last,
but not least. the example of a clean,
well-kept roadside la an encourage
ment to the owners ot farma lying
along it to clean up things and take a
part in the general progress. Good
roads have a financial value hardly tc

is aa great, if not greater, all things
considered.

through the growth of weeds.
At no time between the harrest of
one crop and the seeding of the next
crop Ehonld a field be neglected. It
is not alone during the growing of a
crop that the field needs close atten-
tion. If it Is possible the field should
never be allowed to lose all Its mois-
ture. for there Is no time when the
available plant food may be Increased
.through nature's own medium as rap-
idly as when a field has no crop grow-
ing. providing soli conditions are right.
The difference In the yield of grain
from the fields handled Just right as
conmnred with , other fields where
work is not correctly done, or slight
errors occur, is so marked that we
cannot but insist more and more that
before the high limit of progress can
be attained In the semi-arid belt there
must be closer attention to details.
Not infrequently a slight error In sum-
mer tilling will make a difference of
10 to 20 bushels in the yield of wheat.
Timeliness of work done is one of
the vital requisites. As soon as one
crop is removed the work should be-
gin by loosening the surface and de-
stroying all weeds or volunteer growth
The disk harrow is the best and al-
most the, only tool that will accom-
plish this successfully. This imple-
ment should be used by lapping half,
thus double disking, cutting to a depth
of three inches. Thia will leave a
loose mulch of about four and a half
Inches, which stops the upward move-
ment and evaporation of the moisture
In the soil below, causing it to accu-
mulate in the top of the firm soil Just
below tm> loosened soil or mulch, fur-
ther advantage of this loosening is
found in the more ready percolation
or soaking down of the later rains as
they come.
To get all moisture possible into the
soil below and retain it there is the
one great problem. And until this
point is fully appreciated, both as to
the extent that it 'can be done, and
what it really means to the future
crops when it is done, we shall never
see the progress and successful de-
velopment of the semi-arid sections
that are possible.

Lacking frl"m"8-
Humus is the one factor that is lack-
ing in practically all of our old tilled
lands. Under, the methods of farming
generally practiced In the Northweat
the drain on the humuB content has
been ateady and persistent. In many
cases even the straw from the fielda
has been burned year after year. Such
methods have greatly reduced the pro-
ductiveness of the land, aided soil
blowing and the waste of rain water*.
It Is time to be putting some humua
in our older lands and stop wasting It
In our newer lands.

CARING FOR YOUNG ALFALFA
Mower Should Be Run Over Foot-High
Crop About Four to Six Inches
from the Ground.
When the young alfalfa is about a
foot high, run the mower over it and
clip off the heads, setting the mower
about four to six inches from the
ground. Leave the clippings on the
ground. Do this a second time along
In late August or early September.
The object of leaving the clippings on
the ground Is to provide aB much of
a mulch as possible and prevent the
drying out of the surface. After the
second clipping, let the crop grow up
to the time of froat and by this time
there should be sufficient stand to
make a good catch for the snow. It
should be remembered that the bare
•pots are those likely to kill out, but
a fair .snow covering Is a reasonably
good protection.
(By PROF. THOMAS SHAW.)
. The Idea chertahed by many is that
the dry land farm can not be made to
produce profitably anything but grain.
That view is not correct. It will yet
in many Instances be made to produce
more or lass of live stock aloug with
the grain. The live stock will certain
ly include poultry and poultry products
and swine. For the production of these
the conditions are quite favorable, and
the same may be said of mutton. This
farm may also produce dairy and beef
products, but for the production of the
former it is not so well adapted, owing
to the greater difficulty of obtaining
succulent food than 1b found In humid
areas.
If the dry land farm Is located In
contiguity to rough grazing lands, and
if the farmer can obtain a section or
more of these and can put the same
under fence, the problem of producing
beef Is very greatly simplified. This
rough land will provide the grazing
and the arable land will furnish the
ather food wanted. The farmer is thus
in a position to grow a considerable
amount of wheat or flax, or both, for
sale, and to grow in addition fodders
and grain such as the animalB may
need in winter and also to put them
into condition for the market when
this may be necessary, Should the
calves come in the autumn, they could
be made ready for the market with
but one season's grazing, as will now
be shown.
This could be done whether the cows
Buckled their own calves or whether
they were milked by hand. The first
winter both would be kept on the farm
and the cowb would receive a liberal
amount of food. If the calves were
given milk during the milk period
they would require supplemental meal
and fodder in addition. They would
then be ready for going onto pasture
in the spring after they had been
weaned. Both cows and calves would
then go on pasture until the early au-
tumn. The calves would then be
brought In and pushed along for the
spring market by feeding them a lib-
eral allowance of grain and suitable
fodders. They would then reach the
market at 18 months and should sell
for a relatively high price.
But should it be neceBsary to con-
fine the cows to the farm, the problem
is not so easy. The difficulty is in
finding grazing, because of the short-
age of the rainfall.
The area called for or native pasture
to maintain one beast in the summer
season is quite too large to make Buch
grazing profitable on the arable farm.
However, where part of the land is
summer fallowed the volunteer grain
on the same will furnish considerable
pasture until the time comes to plow
the summer fallow. If rye had been
drilled in the previous summer or
auttmn, after the removal of the grain,
the grazing thus furnished would be
very considerable. In some areas
bronie grass will do fairly well as pas-
ture, usually much better than the na-
tive grass. In time it will probably be
found that a mixture of alfalfa and
brome will furnish more grazing than
can be obtained from other sources.
This syBtem would probably call for
feeding supplemental grain food more
or less to the calves from the time
that they would take It until they were
ready for the market. But during the
one summer that they were on grazing
the amount called for dally, if fed at
all, would bo very small, not more than
two to three pounds per day. Calves
thus reared on their dams should
weigh at 18 months 900 to 1,000
pounds. These should sell at present
prices for 8 to 9 cents per pound, for
they would be prime. Thus one calf
would fetch in the market $72 to $90
per animal. If reared on skim ml k
the return would be considerably leas,
but It would be far more than counter
balanced In the profit made from the
cream.

A big box on the stone boat or a low

It is easily loaded and unloaded. Keep
the manure going to the fields while
the ground is hard—the spring rains
will do the rest and none will be
wasted.

Probe Graham Case
Charges filed with the state board
of education against Gld Graham, su-
perintendent of the state orphanage at
Pryor, by members of the faculty of
that institution, will bfe taken up b:
the hoard as soon as the school book
adoption is completed, which will be
some time this week. The charges
are supported by affidavits, which it is
understood complain about Graham's
personality; that he became so disa-
greeable that ten members of the fac-
ulty quit. Graham employed others
to take the places vacated.
It is not complained that Superin-
tendent Graham has mismanaged the
Institution in a financial or business
way, but that there sprung up such a
difference between him and the faculty
that conditions became Intolerable.
