Service Burning wheat stub bie is bad business. For an average wheat crop, burning stubble sends about $10 worth of nitrogen fertilizer an acre up in smoke. All of the nitrogen in residue is lost by burning. Using conservation tillage, however, you can plant in wheat stub ble and use that nitrogen that is tied up in the residue. The use of wheat residue is especially important in Warren Soil and Water Conser vation District, where more than 4,000 acres of wheat are planted an nually. Fewer than 2,000 acres are planted by conservation tillage. This practice, depend ing upon equipment used, leaves from 50 to nearly 100 percent residue ground cover af ter planting. nft I • J TV I1C11 IC31UUC UCVUlll poses in the soil surface, the nitrogen is made available for the next crop. In addition to the nitrogen, decomposing stubble adds organic matter to the soil, helps control erosion, reduces soil moisture loss, and improves soil aeration, tilth and permeability. The stubble also helps provide a habitat for such wildlife as pheas ants, rabbits, and quail. To make the nitrogen in the residue available requires the activity of numerous soil organ isms. They flourish in a soil rich in organic mat ter. One of the important organisms is the earth worm. Research has Keeter Picked For Membership Charlie L. Keeter, III of Wise has been elected to membership in the American Angus Asso ciation. The American Angus Association, with over 30,000 active adult and junior members, is the largest beef cattle registry association in the world. Its compu terized records include detailed information on nearly 11 million registered Angus. proven that earthworms increase when a depen dable supply of crop residue is available. They digest the organic matter and pass nutrient-enriched soil through their bodies. This recycles nutrients and makes the soil richer. In addition, their tunnels allow air and water to penetrate soil more rapidly. Burning stubble takes away organic matter. Don't pollute the air by burning money — that is, wheat stubble. Use conservation tillage to keep your nitrogen, protect against erosion, and improve the soil.

The sale of the popples will help keep our veterans in therapy, speed the long hours in the hospital, and give them an opportunity to make sorely needed money.
