percent of the area will need 4 to 6 inches of moisture, and 48 percent will need 6 to 8 inches of moisture. One percent of the area needs 8 to 10 inches of moisture to refiD the soil profile." says Gerald Crenwelge, USDA-NRCA Soil Scientist.

Soil moisture readings are laken by lOwering a neub'Oll probe into a permanently installed aluminum access lube at each of the 301 monitoring siles within the IS-county Water District service area. Each site is chosen based upon the soillype, the variations in the saruraled thickness of the Ogallala Aquifer which indicates potential well yielcb, and typical farming operations in the area.

Plant available soil moisture varies according to the previous crop produced at the site. For example, soil moisture at cotton sires averaged about 0.4 inches at the one foot soil

level, 0.3 inches at the two foot level, OJ inches at the three fOOl level, 0.4 inches at the four fool level, and 0.5 inches at the five fOOl level. - Sites in com producing area had

about 0.6 inches at the one foot level, 0.6 at the two fOOl level, 0.6 inches at the tIu"ee fOOl level, one inch at the four fOOl level, and one inch at the five foot level.

Available soil moisture for grain sorghum and wheal sites was found 10

be between that of com and couon. Grain sorghum sites averaged 0.5 inches al the one foot level, 0.3 inches al the Iwo fOOl level, 0.2 inches at the three fOOl level, 0.3 inches at the four foot level, and 0.4 inches at the five foot level.

Wheat prUducing sires averaged about 0.7 inches at the one fool level, 0.5 niches at the two fOOl level, 0.4 inches at the three foot level,O.6 inches

at the four foot level, and 0,7 inches at the five fOOl level.

Generally, each foot of soil has a capacity to hold aboullWo inches of soil moisture, or a total of about IO incheS in the five foot rool zone soil profile. _ Historical data shows that above average crop yields are more likely when the fivefootrootzonesoil profile is at or near field capacity at planting.

"We hope the area wiD receive significanl precipitation thai wiD help reduce these soil moisture deficits prior to planting," say Crenwelge. Rain gauge readings taken by the Water District staff at the moisture sites in Hale County show 14.03 inches of precipitation during 1994.

Use of furrow dikes will help keep any moisture that faDs between now and spring planting on the field so it can soak into the soil.

SEEDS FROM THE SOWER Michael A. Guido

Two men were crosSing a fanner's field when an angry bull ran after them. They started to run, but ' they knew he'd catch up with them. So one ,said, "Pray John'"

"I know only one prayer," he answered. He cried, "Lord, for what we're about to receive, make us nuly grateful."

Funny, isn't it? But the Bible does say, "In everything give thanks." .

What-give thanks for problems and pains? Why? Because nothing and no one is outside God's control. And the Bible says, "All things work together for good to them that love God."

Trust Him, and you'll see that your misfortunes becomes His fortunxs to enrich you.
