When the earth is dry to a depth of
eight feet and rainfalls are i~nfrequent
during the growing season the chances
for a big crop Of small grain are not
very encouraging. But when the
drought extends only four feet down
into the soil the prospects ought to be
good in this country-at least for rye,
because Its roots would have from three
to four feet of moist soil to draw its
sustenance from. According to an
investigation made at the Brookings,
S. D., agricultural college, the roots Of
a rye plant penetrate the ground over
seven feet. This is a demonstrated
fact. The roots of a rye plant were
recently taken up on the farm
connected with that institution, and
i now on exhibition there, which
cover. that measurement. This appears
like a pretty tall story, but it is gwen
