By not planting you are dead sure to get a good crop th next year, assuming, of course, that you have maintained the mulch, kept out the weeds and have done th necessary thing by frequent harrowing. Also by not sowing a crop the first year, you will hava driven down th moisture; and In n year of ordt nary rainfall, you will hava probably a three-foo- t content of moisture. Again, by not using tbe moisture In the pro ductlon of a crop, tbe green, damp aod, helped by the packing given it, will have rotted the subsoil down n good two Inches, so that when backset you ran without the expenditure of much power, turn from two to three Inches of aubioil In the early days It waa the custom to break In the spring and backset In the fait That method ! foolish In the semlarld region. In season of exceptionally large rainfall one might have Indifferent success by backset ting In the fall; but In the average lot year you will be simply tumbling of partially rotted clods around. My experience convinces me that our sod should lay two whole summers and one winter, or. If the year are dry, two summers and two winters. Should circumstances force a settler to put In a crop the first year, he should be sure to disk the stubble tbe day he cuts the crop and disk It fairly deep. Flax takes no more substance from the soil than other crops and not so much as some crops; but, because Its root system Is so much different, the soil Is apt to dry out more with flax than with most any other crop. The Ideal time for breaking Is when the native grass Is growing the fastest, because' it is then tenderest and the sod rots the quickest. Dry farming Is a new system of agriculture, constructed on the basis of the old principle, but with the conservation ol moisture as the heart and brain of the Idea. The soil in e semlarld region is apt to lack humus and land with much humus Is capable of retaining and carrying much more moisture than land with little humus and you can maintain or restore humus In land by a proper system of crop rotation. There are some fourteen elements In our soil which must be kept up, but old Mother Nature looks after eleven of those herself, leaving three for you to watch and look after nitrogen, phosphorus and potash.
