THE GOOD OF THE FARM.
Some Facts About Rainfall and
Evaporation and Drainage.
The following article by Jacob Bernhard -
hard of Hastings is commended because
it deals with an interesting subject and
is treated by one who speaks from actual
knowledge. It appeared in last week's
Kenesaw Citizen , from which we clip it :
"Those who have attended our farmers'
school institute , I would rather have it
called our school , are aware of the fact
that this part of Nebraska received a
rainfall of somewhat over an average of
x632 inches in the five crop months , that
is from April 1st to September 1st. An
amount less than that would drown all
vegetation if nature had not provided
drainage and evaporation. In some
parts of our country sufficient drainage
was the greatest backset to successful
agriculture , but people living in those
parts set their wits to work , and how
they succeeded you all know. I was one
of the first men in Bureau county , Illinois -
linois , to go at tileing systematically ,
and it paid me. Natural drainage here
is the most perfect surface as well as
subsoil of any country I ever saw ; our
soil the richest , and all other conditions
for successful agriculture the most favorable -
able and far superior to the soil of
lily native land , where twenty acres
is a good sized farm.
Now let us consider the other great
redeeming agents that keep our crops
from getting yellow and finally drying
on account of two much wet ; that is
evaporation ; have we too little or have
we too much ? if too little , we must tile ;
if too much , we must put breaks on it.
All those who have attended our school
are aware that we have too iiiuch , especially -
pecially from about the inidIle of Sep-
tember. Can we regulate it as we could
draining ? Certainly we can , and with
oue-fiftieth the expense per acre. Our
soil is full of little throats or pores.
Scientists call them capillary veins , so
let us call theni throats , through which
it inhales an(1 drinks in water ) when it
rains or the snow melts. Those pores
are closed up in winter ; if they were not ,
all vegetation would winter-kill in this
part of the globe ; but as soon as frost
goes out of the ground they open up and
inhale the warm air and melting snow
and rain , 812(1 new life starts everywhere
in nature ; can you imagine anything
itiore sublime ? Those pores remain
open all through the season until they
freeze and shut again next winter , if we
don't disturb there , and it would riot rho
any injury if we had rains to balance
evaporation continually. But as we can
not regulate the rain-we tried that a
time or two , and some of our city farmers -
ers believed in it but we comitry farmers
shrugged our shoulders ; we did not want
to tell them they were fools as they
would find that out without us telling
them , and they did-but we can regulate
evaporation by shutting the pores. We
can do it in different ways : Lay a board
on the ground and you have completely
stopped evaporation because you interrupt -
rupt circulation between the air and the
soil. The soil under the board will be
wet in the driest season. We interrupt
evaporation every time we plow , harrow ,
disc or in any way disturb the surface
of the ground , for a reasonable length of
time , averaging about ten to twelve
days , when the water will have healed
up those wounds and reestablish circulation -
tion ; but before it is done we should
disturb the surface again and interrupt
it more. And that is the reason our
corn grows so fast as we keep cultivating
it ; moisture that is underneath is kept
there , but our corn nor gets too high
for further cultivation and we lay it by ;
what ? the cultivator or the corn ? In
four cases out of five } loth corn and cul-
tivator. We have , so far , by cultivating ,
raised big stalks but no ears yet. If you
want ears , all you have to do is to cultivate -
vate for them the same as you ( lid for
stalks. But cultivate shallow so as not
to break off too many of the hair roots ,
of which there is a perfect network all
over the cornfield by this time ; go with
a small harrow between the rows and
you can go over ten acres a day with one
horse , or set your wits at work and you
will soon invent an improvement so you
can use two horses and go over twenty
acres a day. Do not be satisfied with
less than two cultivations of this kind
after laying your corn by , which can be
done at a cost of 20 cents per acre , which
of course is to be counted expense ; you
will also have to buy more lumber and
build cribs , next fall ; that must be
counted ; your folks will want to go the
store a little oftener and you must count
that.
that.Now
Now let us see about regulating evano
ration here ; it begs as soon as the frost
goes out ; what wil l we do about it ? Well ,
we have been letting it alone until we
get ready to put in our crops , and what
do we find ? a good deal of winter moisture -
ure has fled into the air , sometimesevery
bit of it , before w e finited our plowing
for corn. Could we have stopped it ?
Yes. Had we gone over the groundwith
a disc or harrow , or both , as soon as the
frost was out , we would have found
our ground every bit of it moist and
mellow , because we would have interrupted -
rupted evaporation ; try it once on all
your ground. On small grain it is i
aaot so necessary as you put that in anyway -
way as soon as frost is out , and if you
don't , you ought to. Give your small
grain another harrowing when it is well
rooted-and that we always did in Germany -
many , and often a rolling besides , after .
the harrowing , to press the roots down
again. And then as soon as the corn is
planted start the harrow and never stop
it until the corn is five or six inches
high , then cultivate in the usual way
and never think of having done your
part in raising a crop of corn until it is
well in roasting ears.
Are there any other methods of regulating -
lating evaporation ? Yes , many more ,
or at least one more that is practical ,
which is subsoil packing , but that is
more expensive and don't kill the
weeds" .
