Bishop of the Box Elder County Agricultural Conservation Committee points out that fall is the proper time for farmers to carry out the crop FAR- residue management practice under the Agricultural Conservation Program (ACP). Under this practice farmers Incorporate grain straw or small grain stubble in the surface of the soil. This is an effective check on wind and water erosion during the fall and winter months, Chairman Bishop says. With this cover incorporated in the soil, wind erosion is les-- ! sened and more water is held on the land, decreasing run-owashing and storing up more moisture in the soil. Decompo sition of crop residue to restore humus to the soil is also speeded ud and heavy growths of straw and other crop residues can be handled more effectively. In addition, the practice provides some insect and weed con trol..

This practice should be carried out soon after harvest. About 50 percent of the stubble should , be left on the surface.
