Excerpt from Pioneer ProblemsOn this point the testimony of correspondents was that the use of a packer tends to bring the soil moisture nearer to the surface and more will be found in the top three inches of soil than if none is used. Consequently there is more plant food in solution available for the use of the young plants of the grain crop. Some were of the opinion that the same result could be reached by the use of the harrow and that in this respect the packer did not justify its cost. Others stated that they could find no difference in the moisture supply on packed and unpacked land, because it was all too dry. (it is certain that if the soil is almost destitute of moisture the packer cannot bring moisture nearer to the surface.) In other districts there had been such copious rains that all the ground, packed or unpacked, was well supplied with moisture. The emphasis in some cases was laid upon the fact that the surface packer can only do its best work in this or other directions when the land has previously been well cultivated and worked down.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
