TO PRESERVE THE MOISTURE.

Secret Of Successful Farming Lies in
Proper Cultivation Of the Soil to
Conserve the Moisture Supply.
In recent issue of the North Da-
kota Farmer, in an article on the con-
servation of soil moisture, President
Worst of the State Agricultural col
lege says:
To farm successfully one must und-
erstand the movement of moisture in
the soil and how to control it; the
physical condition of the soil best
adapted to the growth Of plants and
how to obtain it and the kind of cult
vation the plant requires and be will
ling to give it. These processes are
now taught in schools especially adapt
ed for those who work with the soil,
or are given to the public in the form
of reports and bulletins from the eA-
pertinent station. All farmer has to
do is to study, observe and exercise
good judgment, and bad luck" will be-
come but a reminder of the times when
almost everything was taught in the
schools but practical things.
The texture and composition of the
soil is great study, and for the small
amount of study most farmers have
actually given it, those of North Da-
kota have been quite successful. But
does it not strike you, gentle reader,
as passing strange that with the mar
velous fertility of North Dakota soil
an average yield of only about twelve
bushels of wheat per acre is harvest
ed annually? While many farmers are
producing most excellent crops year
after year. it yet shows that great
many take too much chance and are
afflicted quite frequently with bad
luck" Who is to blame?
At the present writing, Sept 8th,
the tremendous downpour of rain has
filled the soil with water-a menace to
wheat now in stack or in shock. Much
of this water will percolate deep into
the earth and remain during the win
ter months. With this superabund-
ance of moisture now, is it necessary
to have a drought next June or July
that will impair or destroy the crop?
/ Is there no way to store up sufficient
amount of this rainfall in the soil and
hold it in readiness for next years
crop? There is, and the principles are
so thoroughly understood that drought
is losing its terrors. If Mr.. Campbell
is correct when he says that over 500
barrels of water will evaporate from
one acre in single day, how man!
days conservation of the moisture
would, if damned up in the soil, max,
reservoir sufficient to defy ;
droughty period that otherwise woul'
! ruin the crop?
The remedy is cultivation of tn
soil-cultvation that will arrest evap
Grafton and hold the water in the sol
. until the growing crop needs it.

What the Dam Discussion Was.


The jamestown Capital thus tells
what was done at recent council
meeting there:
The special dam committee reported
to the council in favor of dam in the
James river just east of the South
Fifth avenue bridge, above the sewer
outlet Such dam will probably cost
two or three hundred dollars. The
dam question was discussed somewhat,
the dam location being even damned
by faint praise. the old dam site and
the site of the new dam site below the
old dam site entering into the dam ar
gument-'twas approaching midnight
when graveyards yawn and some who
had had sight of the dam site
thought it was far a dam site to be
chosen and preferable to the old dam
site by the new dam site.

near at hand. The rumors of wars, the
floods, the famines, the earthquakes
have all been preparing us for the great
event when the heavens shall be rolled

We still hear sounding in our ears the
awful noise of conflict between the iron

barricades of the land in mimic warfare
as a precursor of the worlds peace,
when there comes the startling intelli-

call up old occurrences, and there is also
sad side in thoughts and conversations
in regard to some who have "passed

it is to be replaced as quickly az pos,
