Notes from the Experimental Farm Brandon Manitoba discuss water loss during summer fallow on sandy soil. Overwatering exceeds soil moisture capacity, leading to percolation beyond root reach or surface runoff, both harming crops. Records show 1955 summer fallow lost significant moisture, highlighting irrigation and soil erosion concerns.
Data from 1936 to 1957 show varying water losses across years with 17.1 and 5.4 inches recorded before September 1, and 1956 and 1997 losses notably different. The records reveal wheat needs about 125 inches of water, yet since 1954 summer fallow has drained enough water to crop nearly four harvests, indicating this practice wastes resources. Some authorities advise nitrogen fertilizer and weed control to reduce summer fallow acres economically.
The Manitoba Department of Agriculture offers financial assistance for seeding down erosion prone or alkali afflicted lands through the Soils and Crops Branch.

Enrolment in teacher training rises with 645 students qualifying for certificates and 501 starting at the Winnipeg normal school.
