DAMON MADRAS, 0REC0H PRINTING lampbell Talks On Fannin Says the Right Method Has Been Discovered for Successful Farming, But That It Must Be Thoroughly Understood "Now, let me just make a few re marks upon that question of every -otlier-year farming which I find Is not generally understood. A great many people seem to have grasped the Idea that we mean to raise a crop every other year only. That was the Idea we started out on a number of years ago, hut we naye found that by stor ing this water and by what seems to us the development of plant elements or fertility that We can grow two or three or four or five crops successively -without getting the soil into bad con dition; that ia, by following the har vester with the disc and keeping It loose and keeping up the cultivation. The minute one crop is off we should begin preparation for next year's crop." Mr. Brings: "I would like to ask Professor Campbell one more question aud that le, if he knows of any process by which the fertility of the soil can be continued year after year with the flame cropping." Professor Campbell: "In answering that question, I muBt theorize a little bit, I do not know it at all. liut the experience we have had, the results we have secured, the apparent fertility of our ground after growing the four crops, indicate that the loss of humus iu soil properly handled is not so great as some of our predecessors have -anticipated or believe. You under stand that you cannot grow a stalk on top without a good many rootn under it. Now, the more you grow above, the more roots you put Into the ground. It is my opinion that, as we grow the big crops, wo place back in the soil material that, when decom posed and denitrified, makes humus." Mr. Adams: "That comes from tho decay of the roots.1' t Professor Campbell: "Yes. It in my opinion, backed up by the exper ience we have hud In seven years, that with tho kind of soil we have and Uuder existing conditions you can grow crops of from ten to forty or Ally bushels of wheat, aud that ut the cud i)t the ten years you will be no further abort of the necessary fertility to go on another ten years than when you began, if the proper steps are taken." Mr. JJriggs: "This you have not demonstrated?" Professor Campbell: "No, sir. This thing has got to be proven." A Delegate: "Do I uuderstaud that the fertillfy of the xoil niicht be con tinued by proper cultivation for ten years with constant cropping and without manuring?" Professor Campbell: "Yes, sir. in our soil, iuits present condition. Now the trouble in getting onto a platform and asking questions in this manner u in bolng misunderstood. On this question of fertility, lam theatronge&t uelleverln the utilization of our barn yard manure. Not thatoursoil hasn't the ability to produce, but the more humus we get into the ground the easier we can control this proposition I think a man should take precaution to gather up as large a percentage of barnyard manure as they uo in the oiu a ew jiiijgianu states where I ws raised, putting It on, scattering it over the surface and discing it in, plowing uuder when the soil is In condition. following it with a hacker, nackltitr it uown, und that will make it decom pose and enable you to carry a vory much larger percentage of moisture.' Another question: 'How much of the minimum of ten Inches of rain must fall in the growingBeason?' I do not consider it absolutely necessary to nave very much of tho rain during the growing season If your ground bus been summer-tilled and you have a sufficient amount of moisture stored uuder it. We have grown one crop at Hill City practically without any rair, and a big crop, too. Of course, if you could havo It Just as you wanted It, it would Just keen the rains off until the grain hud gotten up to the heading point, and then have tho rain, If you can got your ground thoroughly aud nicely prepared, put your seed In aud not have a bit of rain for thirty to sixty days, your chances, for a big crop are very much better than they would be if you had ruin after seeding." Mr. S. (. itosecrans of Colorado: "Would you use the harrow or weeder upon thut ground iu the Spring? Say the Hallock weeder?" Professor Campbell; "No, I would use a harrow instead of the Hullock weeder. The Hallock Weeder Is not Hevere enough. It wouldn't tear it up ennuh. I would Invariably harrow in the spring all small grain, and al most always in tho sprlm? our sowed grains. Now, down in the Panhandle, in the full of 1905, I made- a little .talk. A gentleman who was farming In that vicinity and had been tlierc then for four or flveyaars, after I had made the remark that I would harrow oats at u certain point, said: 'What would vou do if you got another big rain rfght on top of that?' I said, 'Harrow it again.' Well, the spring came on and hu sowed liis oats and the rain came aud he burrowed it as suggested, and in a very few days after that there came another very heavy rain, and ho said to his neighbor, 'I uui goiut: to follow 31r. Campbell's ideas, but I expect to ruin this crop. I am going to harrow it again.' Aud he did. And he In slsted that ho did ruin that niece of gruln, but he got 72 bushels to the acre." Mr. William Hill of Utah: "How high were those oats when harrowed?' r.,.. r ... tt ..... ... recollection, from his explanation. would bo about four Inches."
