HARM DONE BY OVERSEEDING Great Many Dry -Farming Failures May Be Attributed t6 Practice—Rate of Planting. lily JAMES II. M.-11ISHA ET, Experiment Station 1 One of the most important prole lents associated with dry farming is the determination of the rate of _aeeding per acre. A great many failures In dry farming may be at- tributed to overiseeding. The one limiting factor of crop production on dry lands is moisture, and it is large- ly because of its deficiency that care must be exercised in the rate of Plant- ing. Each plant in the soil takes out large quantities of water which are evaporated into the air throlieft the leaves, consequently when a thick stand is obtained exceptionally large amounts rol. , ra.by of water are drawn front the soli. A thick, luxuriant stand in the spring or early sum 'ler is no In- dication o: a good hart est, as the . probabilities are that such a ilea% y stand mill deplete the soil of moisture and preveht complete maturity of the crop, elate a thin stand would he able to it Ithstand the dry periods and yield fairly well a hen harvested. Thin planting dues pot of necessity mean 11. thin steed. Whenever the muist tire conditions are favorable the plants eill titan) or branch out and tuake a seund that will warrant a satisfactory yield and at the sante time be heavy enough to shade the ground and reduce the losses from excessive evaporations. When plants urn crowded very little, If any, stooling occurs and the plant Is unable to adapt itself to Its (mime diate conditions. As a general rule the rate of planting for dry lands is Just a (rifle more than half of is hat would be used on irrigated lands. Moisture for Hatching.

Colorado Expert rnent Station ) Experience with flax on the plaint through the seasons of 1909-13, shoe that to be successful, flax land must be well prepared. In those seationi when there is considerable spring moisture, sufficient to compact soilt that were plowed, deep plowing gays the best results. These better results from deep plowing In these easel where there was moisture enough were due in a large part to the clean netts of the land, that is, the freedom of the soil from weeds. It was unl formly noticed that the deep plower land was not as foul as the shalloe plowed. Deep plowing was found it be all right If rains followed filmedi ately. or if the plowing was done sev eral months ahead of pleating so that compaction and settling took place. In 1913, deep plowing Just before planting the crop almost caused corn plete failure, because rains did not follow sufficient to moisten the plowed layer and compact the subsurface If deep plowing is used, therefore, le preparing the seed bed, it should be done at a considerable time before planting. Where plowing is done ins rnediately prior to planting plowing should be ahallower, six or seven inches at the outside, and should be followed up immediately with the dial harrow, to compact and fill up the subsurface. Smooth, we/I-prepared land greatly insures the success of the crop. This was especially shown In experiments of 1911 and 1912, and was shown up In the other years. An Explanation.
