Summer fallow is the practice of keeping land free of all vegetation throughout one season for the purpose of storing a part of the rainfall of that period in the soil for the use of crops the following year. Summer fallow has been practiced in various parts of the world for several centuries, and to a limited extent in some sections of western United States since the country was settled. It is a common practice in the light-rainfall sections of Canada and of the Pacific Northwest at the present time. 3, record 1, English, - cultivated%20summer%20fallow

This practice is optional in some areas but necessary in the drier cropland areas of the West.

The advantage of the foaming slag practice in the electric arc furnace steelmaking has become increasingly clear. As main feature, submerging the arc(s) in the slag can enhance the heat transfer between the arc(s) and the melt... The foaming can be difficult to control properly since the evolution of the chemical and physical conditions in the slag/steel system that affect foam height is generally unknown. Presently, the slag height and the foam formation is still estimated in most of the installations by subjective acoustic and visual means of the furnace operator, the operating practices being either rigidly pre-established or let to the free interpretation of furnace operators. 2, record 7, English, - slag%20foaming%20practice
