Some Principles of Soil Moifture
I Be first and most important
ess m saving soil water is

mil. in fact the land may
lunch worse off because the
inches of rain which ran off
f have beaten and nurlrilnri
psirface soil so as to favor
formation of a crust, which

sandy lands. If the plowing is
done long enough before seeding
to allow nature to do the settling
and compacting it can scarcely
be too deep on silt and clay lands.
If, however, . plowing cannot be
lone a considerable period be
fore seeding, it should be rela
tively shallow, because usually
it cannot be properly settled and
compacted immediately prior to
seeding. The disc following the
plow will be of service, but it
does not equal time and rainfall.
Besides plowing breaks the ex
isting moisture relations and
some time is essential to read
justment Unless followed by
raining, deep plowing immed
iately before seeding will give
poorer yields than shallow plow
ing. Whether new breaking shall
be deep or shallow depends upon
the surface conditions. If the
surface is covered with grass
sod, the first breaking should be
shallow, two or three inches and
rolled down flat immediately be
hind the plow. Sod cannot be
well broken unless the soil is
moist The sod does not turn
well or roll back flat unless
moist. Then rotting, so essen
tial to the best success on new
breaking, takes place only when
the soil is moist.
Land that is covered with sage
brush or is not in sod should be
broken deeply, as well as old
land, and for the same reason.
It catches water better when
broken deeply.
The formation of a crust on
plowjng forms a layer through
which water enters slowly.
When such a crust is formed it
should be broken up so that the
soil will have a maximum catch
ing power for future rains.
After the water is caught by
the soil, it undergoes certain
movements. When it moves
downward through the spaces
betwoeto the. soil particles by its
own weight, we may say it per
colates. When it crawls upward
or downward or sideways like
water in a lupip of sugar or oil
in a lamn "wick.5 we say it has
capillary or film movemnt, be-
'catjse, it mpves along as a thin
mm movement over tnu aurxiiuu
of tho soil particles. Sometimes
changes in temperature cause
the soil; to .move, In that case
