It waa observed on a Utah dry farm that the land contained to a depth of 10 feet 7.47 acre-Inches more water than the adjoining spring plowed land a aavlng of nearly one-hal- f of a year'e precipitation. The ground ebould be plowed in the early fall as soon aa possible after the crop la harvested. It should then be left In the rough throughout the winter, so that It may.be mellowed and broken down by the elements. Tbe rough land further haa a tendency to catch and hold the enow that may be blown by tbe wind, thus insuring a more even distribution of the water from the melting snow. A common objection to fall plowing Is that the ground la ao dry In the fall that It doea not plow np well, and that tbe great dry clods of earth do much to Injured tbe physical condition of the solL It Is very doubtful If such an objection is generally valid, especially If tbe soil Is so cropped as to leave a fair margin of moisture In tbe aoll at harveat time. Tbe atmospheric agen- clea will usually break down the clods, and the physical result of tbe treatment will be beneficial. Un doubtedly, the fall plowing of dry land la aomewhat difficult but the good result more than pay tbe farmer for his trouble. Late fall plowing, after the fall ralna have softened tbe land. IS preferable to spring plowing, it for any reason the farmer feela that he must practice spring plowing, he should do It as early as possible In the spring. Of course, It Is inadvia- able to plow the soli when It la bo lrrlM4 r i 0ardl plowing permits much of this precipitation to enter the soli and be stored there uotll needed by planta.
