Arizona, to Investigate conditions teen?, Interesting evidence of the direct e ffect'o f properly prepared lands was recently received by Campbell from a Metropolis, Nevada, grain- field prepared under his direction, in the form of three stools of wheat One stool had 81 stalks, one 103 and one 120. each 2he result of one grain of wheat drilled ln well prepared soil that was liberally supplied wu:h fertility,through well planned and tim ely work. This crop was raised without Irrigation, but was pre­ pared for by summer tillage ln 1921 and grown this year. More evidence of what cultlva- tfon of a growing crop means was sent to Campbell by A. B Shield of Delano, Kern County, California, ln four heads of wheat from s Stool grown on Shield’s ranch. This stool bed ample space and was m ltivated while growing, no fertil liers or tyrigatlon being used. The stool contained forty-four heads sveraglng T8 grains each or slightly ovsr 3400 grains from one stool. Such results, says Campbell, slm- ply mean that under certain phys- leal conditions brought about by the right kind of tillage at the proper time, very much more grain, fruit or vegetables may be grown per acre than is commonly ob­ tained. The usual query ts “Does it p ay ’ ” to which Campbell replies very emphatically ln the affirma­ tive. Csmpbell ’ recently inspected a number of new orchards and vine­ yards ln the southern and central portions of California to study meth­ ods and principles commonly prac­ ticed in preparing the land and the after care in Irrigation and cultivation. One of these lnspec- ttons was of a 4000 acre peach orchard of one. two and three-year- old trees belonging to the Call- fornla Packing Corporation and Io- cated east of Merced, Calif. What Campbell saw here in connection with his general observations shows that thq real advantage of careful preparation of the soil be- fore setting is sometimes, but not generally fully considered and appreciated. “It is very important to first prepare the surface by leveling," says Campbell.
