CULTIVATE TO KEEP MOISTURE
Dry Soil Will Not Grow Crops Any
Better Than That Full of
Water.

A dry soil is barren one for nc
matter how much fertility there may
be in 1t, it will refuse to grow crops
until there is some moisture present.
On the other hand, however, wet
soil-that is one with the pores or
spaces too full of water-is just as
bad because it is cold and the air nee.
essary for ventilation and oxidation
is shut out. Hence it is that much of
the work of cultivation has for its
object the regulation of the amount
of water in the soil, preventing an en-
cess at any time or scarcity at other
times. The plant obtains all of its
food excepting carbon from the soil
or through it. These foods are dis
solved in the soil water and the wa.
ter with its dissolved particles is TAX
en- in through the roots of the plants.
Water is also of Importance in secur-
ing the termination of seeds. To
produce one pound of dry matter
of crop requires the passage into the
plant of 800 to 500 pounds of water.
As the ordinary rainfall during the
growing season is not in all cases suf.
ficient to supply this amount, the
greatest care must be taken to pre-
vent losses from the surface by evap-
Grafton. Generally speaking the more
frequent the civilizations the greater
the saving of moisture. This is true
for clay loans, and possibly for sandy
soils, but muck soils which do not
form dry crust on the surface will
be better with few civilizations.

CUTTING AND

There Are Certain Stages In Ma

There are certain stages in the ma

rule of cutting, the wheat when the
kernel is in the dough is hardly appli-

varieties, as they do not shell as read.
lily, and the boards are protection to
a certain extent. Bald varieties of
wheat sprout during moist weather
sooner than the bearded varieties.
Barley should be cut at that stage
when the most of it has turned white.
If allowed to turn yellow there is dan.
ger of loss, as the heads, after they
turn down, which they do when they
turn yellow, break off very easily and
are lost. For mailing, the barley must
be cut while it is white, and if it can
be secured without any rain, it is
considered in perfect condition.

THING DRY LAND.
METHOD BECOMING POPULAR
IN ARID REGIONS.
Summer Following Consists Of Disk
ing and Narrowing in Early Spring
Before Flowing, Packing Sub
surface to Retain Moisture.

The best method of summer fallow
ing consists in disking and narrowing
in the early spring before blowing
packing and subsurfacing Immediately
after blowing and following this by
sufficient surface cultivation to retain
moisture and keep the weeds under
control. While this method is not in
general use, it is becoming more popu-
lar and has been practiced long
enough to demonstrate its superior
value. Men who practice this method
estimate that their yields OF wheat
are about % per cent greater than
those obtained by summer following
in the ordinary way. by adopting
this method of summer following it
is possible to retain sufficient moisture
throughout much of the semi-arid sec
ton to terminate wheat at any time
it may be sown in the fall. This will
make il possible to grow winter wheat
over a large area that now produces
spring wheat
When the tillage has been thorough
and sufficient moisture has been re-
tanned to terminate the seed, the
grain is planted quite deeply. When
the seed terminates, the young roots
are then in contact with moist soil.
This enables the young plants TO sur
viye until the fall rains come.
Better preparation OF the soil for
spring crops. especially the use OF
implements for settling and packing
the bottom of the pillow furrow. would
materially increase the yield OF all
cereal crops when the land is plowed
in the spring before it is sown.
If more intensive methods of tillage
are to be adopted, either the size of
the farms must be decreased or their
equipment increased
Too many varieties of wheat are
now produced.
The farmers as whole will secure
better results by combining themselves
to few varieties of wheat OF the
spring varieties. the Little Club and
the Red Chaff are best adapted to the
humid sections and the Bluestem to
arid and semi-arid conditions. The

ana the farmer must now look to
some other source for his posts. Per-
haps directly ON his farm there may
be patch of woods which includes
such trees as black oak, beech, maple
or pine, and cottonwoods and willows
may grow along the banks of his
streams. These are trees which here
tofore have been thought of little or
no use for posts, because of the rapid
ity with which they are attacked by
decay. In their natural condition, they
will rot in two or three years-too
soon to pay for the labor of setting
them. The forest service in it's study
of prolonging the life of fence posts
has found cheap and simple methods
of preserving them in sound condi-
ton for an indefinite time, even
though they are the poorest and nat
urally least durable woods.
Decay is not simple process like
the crumbling of stone or the rusting
of iron. 1t is caused by low forms OF
plant life which thoroughly permeate
the wood, discolor 1t and cause it
to become disconnected and rot
ten" To preserve the timber in
thoroughly sound condition, it is only
necessary to render the wood unfit for
the growth of these organisms. This
Is done by injecting into it substances
poisonous to plant life.
One of the most widely used pre-
servatives is creosote, one of the by
products of coal tar. When it is in
jected into the wood, decay will be
retarded indefinitely and an old-field
pine or cottonwood fence post when
properly treated, will easily give life
of 20 years or longer. Such a preserv-
alive treatment costs about ten cents
per post. The creosote can be applied
by painting the wood with brush or
dipping it into the liquid, but much
better results will be obtained if it is
actually injected into the wood instead
