At that time the ground is moist and plows well, and the deep plowing provides a rough, open surface that absorbs water readily. The fallow is cultivated frequently enough to prevent weed growth and to keep the surface from crusting. It has been shown that land alternately cropped to winter wheat and summer-fallowed contained on an average of 5. 7 inches more FIG. 56. Listed soil catches and holds winter moisture water in the upper six feet of soil at seeding time than did land that was cropped... each year. The summer-fallowed ground pro- duced, as an average of four years, 26. 3 bushels of wheat per acre, while the continuously cropped ground produced but 1 1 . 6 bushels. Another experiment showed that, as an average of three years, land summer- fallowed for wheat has produced 12. 3 bushels per acre, while early-fall-plowed, continuously cropped land has produced 13. 9 bushels, and late-plowed, continuously cropped land has produced 7. 5 bushels per acre. Alternate cropping and fallowing is necessary only where the rainfall is very light.
