From figures compiled by E. R. Jackman, specialist in farm crops, 195,824 acres of land in eight east ern Oregon counties were handled by the trashy fallow system last year. Approximately 62,000 acres in Umatilla county were cultivated this way. In the past 25 years, the method of handling land used in alternate wheat production and fallow has changed considerably. A quarter century ago, the fallow recommenda. tion was a fine dust mulch. Then, as wind buffeted great clouds of dust across the rolling landscape, cloddy mulch was recommended. Still, huge quantities of soil ran down the nat ural drainage basins when the rains came. Next, experimenters developed the trashy fallow system to act as a soil holder against both wind and water. rarm practices underwent a change. Straw instead of being burned or thrown aside is now par tially buried in the fallow. This partially plowed-in straw acts as a continuous field windbreak and helps to hold rain water in a thin sheet over the field rather than letting it seek out the natural drainage basins to form eroding gullies. The old idea was that fallow land stored water for the succeeding year's crop, but field workers infer that water alone is not all that is stored. Wheat and similar crops tax heavily the supply of nitrates in the soil and this supply is built up by fallowing. Quite generally, wheat yields have not been changed by trashy fallowing. Wheat yields, thru use of improved varieties, have in creased over those of 25 years ago, but supplemental fertilizers may in time have to be applied to rejuven ate exhausted soils, the extension staff believes. Plowing methods have undergone a revolution with fallowing.
