SKWELL, Ass^clats Professor of Soils, Kansas State Agricultural College.) The largest Item of expense In producing cereal,and annual forage crops Is tillage. The most important tillage operations are plowing and cultivating. Reduction in depth or frequency of plowing, or number <tf cultivations necessary for economic yields, materially reduces the cost of raising the crop. Plowing deeper thai six inches for cereals or row crops--excepting root crops--is never warranted. Timeliness--early plowing--Is- the Important factor In wheat tillage--•. July-plowed ground produced eight bushels to the acre more than September- plowed ground. Nitrogen conservation is the thing for which the farmer plows, not moisture conservation. The dust mulch is no longer considered a useful practice. Cultivation sufficient to keep down weeds is all that is necessary--addk tlonal plowing is wasted. Efficient tools, especially power equipment, is of utmost value in till* age in the light of discoveries as to the value of timeliness in plowing. Ear!
