A Substitute for Rain.

Mr.. Chas. KuptiZ has made sng-
gestion which is received with great
favor by the farmers and which
promises to work wonders for the
Missouri valley. TO prevent dronth
it is suggested that farmers plow
deep burrows from cast to west.
throwing the dirt to the north.
These burrows should not be more
than 1870 feet apart and at least lI2
deep. a field thus prepared will
catch All abundance of snow which
will drift into and between the fur.
rows, and the result will he such Il
thorough soaking of the ground that
rain will not be necessary. OF course
with this system the blowing should
he done in the fall. Every farmer to
whom the suggestion has been made
accept it as Il solution of the rain
problem and give their experience as
proof of the feasibility of the plan,
They say that wherever they have
| had q fence or Il ditch on the farm
the crop has been excellent, the
ground being thoroughly saturated by
immense drifts of snow, the water
from which is prevented from flow
ing in the spring. Fields where corn
has been grown will not need ditch
ing. Rows of cornstalks about three
feet wide may be left standing at III
teryals of $50 feet and they will catch
the drifts of snow as effectually as
bitches. Other means, such as fences
may be used to hold the snow, but
whatever plan is used the scheme j:
a good one and should be tested by
every farmer in the Missouri valley
Mr.. Kupitz and others who have Civ
en- the subject thought are coniden
that by adopting this method of catch
ing and holding the snow water
good crop will be insured every year
Surely it is worth trying. There j!
sufficient time to make the test tli!
year and it should not be overlooked
