PROPER USE OF CROP
RESIDUES
By ERWIN A. PAVLIK
Soil Conservationist, SCS
Proper use of crop residui
means more profit to the farme;
Naked soil can be as uncomfortab!
as anything that has all forms <
cover removed. Nature has pro
vided that everything will have
some sort of cover.
As the maize, rice and feed crop
are harvested the cultivated lands
take on a new look. No matter how
good the harvest there is little sat-
isfaction in looking at the stubble
unless we understand the value
that this residue has, if properly
used.
Soils in the Coast Prairie have
their greatest need for residue cov-

was Mrs. Lindner's sister, Mrs.
Emily Weakley of Palacios.
Mr. and Mrs. Dick Powell and

ces Witham and in Pasadena visit-
ing Dr. and Mrs. Byron Baird.
Glen Ussery and two of his

and Mike Bunch of Canoga Park,
California, and Don Beasley of
Corsicana, Texas, visited the A;
W. Hurtas in Midfield, the Alvini

The home-town baseball team
composed of Lawrence Bartosh,
Henry Day, Santos Carrillo, Les-
ley Wayne Smith, Dennis Saha,
Jimmy Rickaway, Donald Ray]
Hlozek, E. R. Vacek, Jr., and Frank
Fabrygel defeated the Midway
Lobo baseball team 7 to 5 in an ex-y
citing game Sunday in Ganado. It
was the first defeat of the season
for the Midway team.
er from July to October. It is dur-
ing this season that we receive our
most damaging wind and rain-
storms.
Did you ever lose your coat just
as a, "norther" blew in? Many a
cultivated field is in much the
same shape after the harvest if all
the crop residue is removed from
the surface. How much coat is left
depends on the amount of crop
residue remaining. The number of
pounds of maize, corn and rice
stubble that are actually left de-
termine how thick a coat the soil
has to protect it from wind and
rain. Three thousand pounds of
residue can give proper soil pro-
tection to guard against wind, rain
and the sun's heat.
There are many other reasons
(for leaving crop residue on the
isoil. The first one is that the soil
contains many beneficial workers.
The productivity of the soil is de-
termined by the number of healthy
bacteria, molds, fungi, and other
organisms present. These workers
in the soil must be fed and the best
source of food is the crop residue
that is returned to the soil. Each
year's productivity is greatly de-
pendent upon how the previous
year's residue is used. The soil is a
bank. We must deposit crop resi-
due properly to maintain and in-
crease the deposit of potential pro-
ductivity.
Other reasons for the proper use
of crop residue are: residue main-
tains and increases the organic
matter content of the soil, which
improves water penetration by im-
proving the tilth and structure of
the soil; returns plant feed to the
soil and gives better aeration of
the soil.
Cover for hare fields can only
be achieved by residues from high
residue producing crops or cover
crops. Residues that are fed, turn-
ed under or burnt don't come back.
And the bare field is neither pretty
or profitable.
