which a man aged 60 married a girl OF
20. and his son. aged IS. married her
mother. aged a. was celebrated at the
Barrett ranch. south of Snoma, a few
days ago
Richard Ellsworth and his son,
Keene Ellsworth lived on a ranch ad
joining that on which Mrs Emma +.
Barrett aud her daughter, Miss Jennie
Barrett. made their home. The elder
Ellsworth drove frequently 20 the Bar
rett ranch to spend an evening and a
Sunday afternoon. and so aid his son.
Il was supposed by most of their
neighbors that the father was going
there to pay court TO Mrs. Barrett and
That the son was counting her daugh-
ter. The father and son and the moth
er and daughter did not labor under
any such dslusion.
Richard Ellsworth was counting Miss
Barrett and Keene Ellsworth was
counting Mrs. Barrett. They decided
to have double wedding and to take
a wedding journey together. The par

Prepare Soil catch the Rainfall and then Cultivate
Professor Agricultural College, New Mexico

Soil moisture is lost either by the
free water percolating downward until
it reaches the ground water table and
passes into bitches, or streams, or by
returning by capillary action to: the
surface of the ground where evapora-
ton takes place and it passes off into
the atmosphere. Since for our pres
ent discussion we are dealing with
conditions where the rainfall is not
large it is improbable that any consid-
cradle amount of water, if any at all,
is lost by downward percolation, and
may be entirely ignored.
AS soon as the surface layer of the
soil becomes dryer than that portion
lying Immediately below it, the mois-
ture from below moves toward the
surface to replace that removed by
evaporation. It is evident, then, that

movement of the moisture, and there.

portant aids to crop production under
practically all conditions of agricul-
t,lral operation.
The principal means employed in
the conservation of moisture are first,
loosening the soil to great depths so
that the water can penetrate deeply
into the soil; second, adding humus
to the soil either by applying manure
directly or by blowing under all stub
BILE and other litter; and third, sur
face cultivation. While the first and
second means are important and
should never be neglected, yet the
third, that of surface culture, must
necessarily remain the most impor-
tant method for checking the loss of
soil moisture from the surface. This
is most quickly and cheaply accom-
plished by repeated civilizations, thus
forming what is known as "dust
mulch upon the surface. Next to the
storage of moisture in the soil the con-
servation of soil moisture by surface
cultivation is most important to dry
farming operations.
For convenience dry farming may
be divided into three main systems:
/. Crops annually,-a system where
by crop, whether heavy or light, is
grown every. year. Probably crops
may be grown every year with say 10
inches of rainfall, provided the proper
methods are followed and the rainfall
is properly. distributed for storage and
cropping. 2. Crops biennially,-a sys-
tenn under which crops are grown only
every other year. In Utah yields of
80 bushels of wheat per acre have
been obtained every other year with
an annual rainfall of IL inches and
good crops biennially have been re-
ported with an annual precipitation of
only eight inches. The soil was of an
excellent character and the methods
employed were up to date. 8. A modi-
fication of combination of the first and
second Under this class may be men
toned the production of two crops in
three years, three crops in five years,
or two crops in one year, one being a
catch or cover crop, sown for it's effect
upon the soil or the soil moisture, to
be plowed under before the regular
crop is sown.
The system chosen for any section
must necessarily depend upon a mum.
Der of conditions, among which may
be mentioned: The rainfall; the dis
tribution of the fainfall; the length of
the growing season; the general eli
matte conditions, such as the humidity
Of the atmosphere, the number of
cloudy and clear days, the day and
night temperature, and the wind
sweep; the elevation; the general
aspect of the country and the farm;
the character of the soil and subsoil;
the depth of the soil and subsoil; the
machinery available; and last but not
least the: means for the: disposal OF
