Plow Less and Cultivate More.
Methods of cultivation are becom-
ing better understood says the Texas
Farm and Ranch. Not long ago
corn growers plowed their corn two
or three times and "laid it by."
And they plowed it too, using two
big shovels to the gang and sending
them down to the beam. Now, the
custom of the best corn growers is
to give corn a light cultivation with
the harrow first, then if the soil has
become compact by heavy rains as
often happens, it is given one deep
cultivation resembling the "plowing"
that used to be given. This deep
cultivation admits air to the soil,
which is necessary, and does not
disturb the corn roots because they
have not yet developed between the
rows.
Later, cultivations are uniformly
shallow, the second and third with a
riding cultivator, which kills weeds
and loosens the surface only to a
depth of one to three inches. After
the corn is too high to straddle,
some implement that will cultivate
the space between two rows is used.
All that is desired is to keep the
surface loose down to a depth of one
to three inches. Cultivation is often
continued until the corn is practically
matured.
There are sound reasons for this
practice. Compact soil loses mois-
ture rapidly because the capillary
action is unbroken, and moisture
comes up to the surface to supply
the evaporation. A layer of loose
soil on top prevents this loss of
moisture and saves it for the use of
the crop. If the soil is loosened to
a depth of six inches, it dries out to
that depth, and the roots are broken
by this deep cultivation. The nearer
a crop approaches maturity, the
more water is used by the plant, and
its only supply of water is in the
soil. Shallow cultivation prevents
loss of water from the surface of the
soil.
The same general principles apply
to all cultivated crops. Cotton and
potato growers are doing less plow-
ing and more cultivating, and are
getting better returns. The purpose
of cultivation is to save water for
the use of the crop that is growing.
