CHAR ACTER Of the RAMS

There - an important difference

IN, East and those Jt the West.
] be summer rams OF the West,
and especially Ut the Plains coun.
tty, consist largely Ut inlrcqucnt
heavy showers. II tn, soil hc
open ard deep, this RAIN sinks
deeply into the ground. As pre-.
yIously mentioned, the hot sun
and driving winds OF the Scm.arld
regions rapidly dry the top soil,
aud tins forms a mulch, Or cover.
Irg, which retards evaporation.
Light showers ~ a dry time do
very little good. They vet the
surface, and II the water extends
t. the moist soil below, water from
below actually flows to the surface
over the wet soil grains, and the
water Ji the light shower, As well
as some OF that previously IN the

a DEEP BED Of POROUS SOIL.

In dry farming EARNING without
irrlgdtIunJ IN the scml-arld regions
thc quantity Ui water available TO
plants IS the limiting condition OF
success. Land Is abundant and
cheap and the sol, IS fertile.
Water IS the one element that may
be- needed to produce a crop. Such
being the case, 1t IS obvious that
no water should be- allowed to run
OH from larm lands. II should all
he made 10 enter the soil. The
rams oi the seml.arId regions, as
has been said, often come i'm the
torn OF sudden and heavy showers.
Such rams I'LL the upper soil com.
plctcly. The pore space becomes
iuil Ut water, and unless the lower
soil permits the excess to move
down rapidly much OF the Sub,e.
qucnt rainfall runs over the surface
and oil the fields. This loss OF
water and accompanying injury by
washing Is greater as the surface
OF the field is sleeper. In the
Plans region the lands are general.
~ level, and IN this respect every
opportunity is given the farmer to
save the water. To enable the
water to run down quickly into the
lower soil, a deep bed OF porous
should be prepared. This does
not mean that the soil should
necessarily be loose and open with
large air spaces. Ii should be a
mellow close-grained mass, without
any tendency to solidiiy or stick
together. When the soil is in the
described by saying i, is
IN good filth II will take up water
