F. R. DREIBELBIS AND M. S. NAIR RECENT investigations have indicated some benefical effects of mulch culture particularly in regard to soil and water conservation. Experiments were set up at this Station in 1943 involving the use of mulch culture with various tillage practices to determine what practices would facilitate soil and water conservation and sustain or enhance crop yields of corn. This report summarizes some of the data obtained to date, stressing, in particular, soil properties as they are influenced by the use of disking and plowing. Although final conclusions on some points can not yet be drawn, it seems appropriate to summarize the more important results now. This may help to crystallize the thinking and to coordinate the future research on this subject.
