SOIL MULCHING AND SOIL MULCHES; There has much been written, in 
recent years regarding soil mulches, and it seems to me, this plan has decided ad- 
vantages where the operator, has only a very small acreage and not a complete range 
of soil working equipment, from all my research along this line, and some of this has 
been along very unorthodox lines, we find that soil mulches of many kinds, are a 
very vital factor in increased crop production, and I think this also, very evident 
where no garden system of irrigation is available. 
With the proper material used in our mulch system, and this works best where 
we use intensive methods and plant more compactly and closely, in the row, Mulch- 
ing retards evaporation, keeps the soil cool, and of a more uniform temperature, 
it does not become as excessively hot as some soils, under mid-summer conditions. 
Under this moist and more uniform and even soil temperature, soil bacteria, whose 
function in nature is to make the inorganic, available to the plant, has a very favor- 
able, environment in which to work, increase and develop, as these conditions are 
the more ideal for friendly bacterial growth and expansion. If you try any kind 
of mulching, I suggest, that you try it out so you will have a check, so that you 
can clearly determine the advantages of mulch over ordinary cultivation, by plotting, 
a certain item, in one plot, and then by mulching one half and leaving the other 
half as a check, we can en see at a glance the advantages of good mulching of 
intensive crops. 
I have used commercial mulching paper, as well as other mulch materials. The 
pineapple growers, in Hawaii cover thousands of acres with a paper mulch, laid down 
with a machine for this purpose, we would like to hear reports, where mulches were 
used, and the results from using them.
