142 DRY LAND FARMING 



In some instances it is better neither to plow nor 

 disc for a crop, as for instance when the soil is very 

 much liable to lift with the wind, or when winter wheat 

 follows a grain crop under climatic conditions where 

 protection is necessary. In the first instance discing 

 would add to the lifting of the soil, and in the second it 

 would render less perfect the winter protection. The 

 grain in both instances would be planted by the simple 

 process of drilling. But in neither instance should grain 

 be thus planted on weedy land.
