Senate military committee, of
which Senator henderson of
Nebraska was chairman, re-

Justice had already been done

livue For Subarid Lands.

The belts of insufficient rainfall In
this country contain some of the most
fertile land on the continent. Two
schemes for utilizing them have been
discovered about the same time. Both
promise to be successful. If they are,
then the farmer from Missouri to North
Dakota may laugh and rejoice.
The plan devised in Missouri was
evolved by John G. Boulder Of St. Jo
seph In brief. it involves digging
trenches 6 20 10 feet deep in the soil,
alling them with rock upon base Of
pounded stone and letting the water
from rainfalls flow into them. To make
= slope down hill the trench is made
feet deer::.t the beginning and 10 feet
deep ut tie ED. Thus the surface water
from rains is collected. run into reser'
voirs or wells and held ready to be used
for irrigation purposes. The plan is not
expensive, and where it has been tried
it has met with wonderful success.
i uo HcCOuu pau W VonO 0uV0nVnNo VI
the fertility Of eubarid lands is that Of
Mr.. Campbell. farmer of South Da
kotA 1t, too, involves digging, but moi
like that of the Bender system. Mr..
Campbell cultivates bis soil in such 8
way that the water can neither run
down into the earth nor dry of. To be-
gin, when preparing the ground to re-
ceive the seed of the crop, he packs by
means of disked harrows the soil at the
bottom so hard that the rainfall must be
retained in it. The roots Of the plants do
not penetrate the hard crust, SO get the
benefit of the rain that is held about it.
On the other hand, after the seed il
planted coat of dry dust is put over il
to the depth Of two inches, SO that the
water cannot dry out. Thus packed with
dry earth above and below, the seed IL
the middle layer Of soil terminates and
comes to maturity without drying out.
Frequent renewal Of the dry covering is
necessary.
