SAVE MOISTURE FOR NEXT
YEAR'S WHEAT CROP
The 1968 wheat crop can be
largely assured now by adequate
mechanical land treatment. Any
moisture that can be stored in
the soil this summer will help in-
crease next year's wheat yield.
'the average rainfall in Payne
County is about 32 inches. Of
this, about two-thirds is lost by
evaporation and before lhe rain
can soak into tile ground.
To save moistnre, plo' the
land immediately after harvest
and keep it relatively free of
weeds during sumnmr months.
Don't let weeds waste water
that bus seeped into the sub-
soil. Kill weeds immediately af-
ter germination so they will take
water only i'ronl the first few
inches of soil,
Ample moislqre stored in the
subsoil will help carry tile wheat
during dry periods of the growing
season. The amount of moisture
in the soil at planting time will
help determine the spring yield,
In Payne County, land in wheat
is fallow about four months dur-
ing the year. Manage your land
property dtu'izzg periods of nor-
real rainfall so that adequate
moisture can be stored in the
subsoil.
If stiff latent moisture is ava-
ilable, plan',ed wheat will come
up and grow rapidly. It will
lroducc a good cover crop both
for Dasttwc and prevenlion of

a marked reduction in organic
matter loss. The stubble mulchbd
plots had more organic matter
after 10 years than did the clean
tilled plots.
Studies on the Mability of the
soil structure also showed that
stubble mulched soils were less
subject to damage by packing
down, tillage or rainfall than
clean tilled soils. The granular

Many years oz" research were
needed to get much of this in-
formalion. Oklahoma State Un-
iversity has conducted research
on stubble mulching tong en-
ough to be,e, in to confirm results
that could only be speculation
previously.
Because of research done on
stubble mulching of wheat, a
grower can assume that good re-
sidue management on row crops
will lead to similar benefits and
improved soil conditions,
