Summer Fallowing
Undergoes Change
In Recent Years
Summer fallow practice, used on
most semi-arid wheat lands in east
ern Oregon, involves more scientific
principles for its technical applica
tion than any other land handling
practice in the northwest, believe
extension workers at Oregon State
college who have lent a hand in the
development of the recently inno
vated trashy fallow system.
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. The

lister bottom is recommended for
use on lighter soils where it is ad
visable to leave a maximum of straw
on the surface. The disk plow is
commonly used in sections of high
straw yield. In any case, early spring
plowing is essential for best yields.
