Gypsum Application Plan
Considerable Interest III gypsum
application Is evident among banln
farmers. Most Int.-re.Med are Omse
liirmlng the heavier textured noils
carrying considerable amounts of
alkali salts and inclined to be
father light.
Structure of soil Is dependent
largely on humus content and on
whether or not sodium Is the dom
inant alkali element. Soils which
are slick when wet and which tend
to run tovrllirr and bake when dry
are likely to be low In organic mat
ter and high In sodium nalts and
base exchange sodium.
Soils In which calcium salts pre
donilnale are nf better ntrurture.
Much soils are not likely to be as
slick when wet. tlo not puddle as
easily and do nut become so hard
and baked when dry. Calcium pro
motes a loose crumb-like soli struc
ture while niKlltiin Induces puddling
and baking Huth sullur and
gypsum benefit high sodium nulls
by resulting In soluble sodium salts
that can be removed. In drain water.
Addition of organic matter In the
form of crop residues and green and
animal manures Is beneficial also.
Formation of the desirable gran
ular or crumb soil structure most
favorable to development of crop
plants In governed largely by the
content of humus In noli. Humus
goea out of alkali noils fast. It dis
appears rapidly In soils farmed
heavily to crops which leave no
residue to return to the soil.
If soil structure and humus con
tent are lo bo maintained at desir
able levels there Is a need for regular
return of orgunlo matter.
Heavy and frequent Irrigation In

soils. The Idea Is to leach out harm

8olls vary In texture. Some are
sandy. Borne are loams. Others
are clays. The term texture relers
to purtlrle tilt. 8iw of the tine
soil particles In clay cannot be
changed, but texture or grouping of
the particles can be changed.
Any sources of soil organic matter
are desirable. One of the less de
sirable sources Is grain straw. Be
cause of the low nitrogen to carbon
ratio composition of grain straw
decumiMsitton Is slow. Decomposing
bacterial action drawn on nitrogen

plant needs and resulting, from a
short time standpoint. In decreased
yields.
Efforts of farmers In this area lo
hasten rotting of straw are evident
In the great number of grain fields
in whlrh straw was turned under
last full and winter. Many grain
farmers are also using commercial
fertilizers on grain fields to help
offset the nitrogen drain brought
about by decomposition of straw.
One of the objections to plowing
under exceptionally heavy tonnage
of straw Is the mechanical Inter
ference with movement of soil
moisture by formation of a straw
layer at the bottom of the plow
furrow.
A number of strow choppers have
appeared around the country as a
result of efforts to prevent creation
of the undesirable straw barrier.
According to reports, 10 acres of
straw chopiied per day's operation
Is about the best accomplished so
far.

Cheese Is a valuable substitute for

that conclusive evidence of de
creased spread because of aphid
control could be obtained.
No conclusive evidence of reduced
leufroll spread can yet be shown as
a result of aphid control with DDT.
Investigations carried In Maine
with DDT materials Indicates no
success In reduction of lealroll
spread.
Conclusions are that suceesnim
commercial production requires seed
stocks carrying under 1 per cent
leafroll. Some Kliunntli fields plant
ed with seed currying 1 per cent
leafroll this year could not make
U. S. No. 1 grade.
Even though results of test plant
ing may show a lessening of leaf
roll spread In dusted plots It is
unlikely that as many as four dust
ings during the season will save
commercial fields planted with seed
carrying as much as 3 or 4 per cent
leafroll.
