METHODS OF DRY FARMING
Confusion as to What is Really Meant
and What It Really ls-conserv-
'sg ing Moisture in Soil.

" . r g
Much confusion regarding so.called
dry farming methods is due to a mis-
conception Of what it is. Dry farming
is not the discovery of new system
in agricultural methods, but simply
the application of very old one. That
the ground becomes porous If left un.
disturbed and that the sun draws out
moisture through the pores are facts
science has known for years. Brief
ly, all that is essential in following
the dry farming method is first to loos.
EN- the soil before the rainy season
so that it may become more thor
oughly saturated and then, by fire..
quent narrowing, prevent the forma-
ton Of pores and thus conserve the
moisture. Where very little rain falls
cultivation is possible only by the
test of actual experience that where
there is a precipitation of from is to
2osinches. somewhat distributed dur
ing the season, it is possible to retain
enough of this moisture in the soil
to easily supply many valuable crops
during the growing season and some
authorities asert that this may be
done where the annual precipitation
is less than IL inches.

POTATO AS GOOD FOOD CROP
Ranks Next to Cereals in Importance
Of Food and Vastly Improved by
Irrigation.

Root crops, of which the potato is
the most important, rank next to the
cereals in Importance as food. In
Europe the potato was long popularity
believed to be poisonous, but bad har-
vests in staple crops in the last half
of the eighteenth century directed at
tention to it, and it's use has since
then constantly increased
In the west, through irrigation in
an open. porous, thoroughly prepared
soil, well supplied with humus or
vegetable mold, there are produced po-
tatoes fit for an epicure-uniform in
size, not too large, nor too small and
regular in shape.
1t is cheaply raised, can be kept
over winter, is easily prepared for
table, pleasant to taste, and rich in
digestible starch. Potatoes are almost
wholly digestible and contain much
smaller percentage of water than tur-
nips, sugar beets, carrots, parsnips,
etc. Besides its table use it is en-
ployed as stock food and in the man.
ufacture of starch, strip, alcohol and
dextrin. Potatoes may be preserved
as an ensilage for stock. Dried, they
can be easily. preserved in tropical
and arctic regions and form an excel
lent diet, in convenient form for
transportation.
The potato requires abundant light
plenty of sunshine. The soil consid-
cred best is a deep, mellow, free work
ing loan, grading to either sandy or
clay loan. But it is raised on lighter
or heavier soils If the latter are
drained. Depth of blowing varies
with the soil-six or eight inches be-
ing most common. Though the pota-
to is sometimes grown continuously
for years on the same soil, rotation of
crops is preferable as, among other
advantages, it lessons the danger of
attacks of diseases and insects. Care
fulness in choosing the variety suit
able to a particular locality and in Sc
lecting seed is an important factor in
success. The growing crop must be
closely watched to protect it against
parasites. M
Between the tuber grown under
ordinary conditions and that which
springs from ombination of proper
soil, suitable climate and intensive
cultivation, there is as big differ
ence as can be found in any class of
food products.
