Trashy fallow, often called stub ble mulch, offers one of the best means yet devised for the control of wind and water erosion on fal low land, says M. P. Hansmeier, extension soil conservation spe cialist at Montana State college, I who points out that the season is near for working stubble fields to create a good trashy cover to pro j tect the soil. i Montana agriculture, he says, has gone through various develop- I ments in fallow systems, including the dust mulch and the cloddy sur face. However, the trashy cover I provided by the so-called stubble mulch system furnishes the best protection of any of the systems (tried so far. The old dust mulch system was designed to conserve moisture in dryland soils, he said, but the fine ly-worked surface was subject to severe wind erosion. The cloddy (mulch, while still satisfactory in a few localities, is effective only long as the cloddy condition exists. Usually the cloddy surface breaks up before the end of the fallow sc period. Briefly, Hansmeier explained, the trashy fallow system consists of leaving the land in stubble after the crop is removed in the fall and then in such a way the following spring that as much stubble and trash as possible is left on top of the ground. This trashy cover retards wind action, leaves the surface of the ground open for water infiltration, and slows the 'evaporation. movement of water over the surface. In addition, the cover tends to reduce the rate of Various implements are used in I the trashy fallow operation, dé | pending upon the type of soil, the ' amount and kind of stubble to be handled, and amount of moisture in the soil. Detailed information on trashy fallow may be found in the follow ing publications: Montana Agri cultural Experiment station circu lar No. 190, "Recommended Prac ! tices for Soil Erosion Control," and | bulletin No. 468, "The Effect of Tillage Method on Soil and Mois ture Conservation in the Plains | Area of Northern Montana, Montana Extension Service circu lar No. 203, "Stubble Mulch Till and >1 age. still stand in quantities that amount These publications may be ob tained from county extension agents who are prepared to assist farm operators with their tillage problems, Hansmeier said. Logging Big Trees The big trees of the West coast to hundreds of billions of board feet on millions of acres, and giant power machines are required to log them. But nowadays horses are also at work in the west coast forests, getting out the logs, along with new types of light machines. It is all part of the spreading tide of forestry, which is now rolling through the industry operations of the Douglas fir region. Strength Through Putty Bouncing putty is even popping up on doctors' prescriptions these days. Putting the squeeze on a handful of this silicone product has been found to help in exercising the muscles of polio, arthritis, and broken-bone sufferers. In this ca pacity, bouncing putty is replacing the rubber ball in many hospitals and occupational therapy schools.
