The Sin of Wasting Rain.

A new religion has grown up in
the west It's devotees are sworn to
the practice of saving rain.
You think this a joke? Well, if
you do, just read the proceedings of
the National Dry Farming congress
that has just completed its delibera-
tions at Cheyenne, Wyo. 1t was a
fine meeting. 1t was devoted, not to
war or conquest, or any of the usual
modes of enlarging boundaries, and
yet, if the new religion of moisture
conservation once wins full accept
ance from the farmers of the nation,
it may give us two acres of titled
land where We now have one.
West of the Missouri-far enough
west-there begins the old short
grass" range where first the buffalo,
and then the herds of the cattle bar
ons, lived on the heritage cured on
the ground in the rdy summers. 1t
is fine range land, but the pressure
for farms, coupled with the recur-
renee of rainy periods, draws the
farmers out on the plains, and they
have broken the range up, and are
determined to make farms of it.
But those dry summers that used
to cure the grass as it stooi-they
are likely to recur and make farming
precarious. Yes; but here the dry
farming comes in and brings hope to
all the semi-arid west.
And dry farming is nothing but the
saving of the rain that falls from
either running off or evaporating.
A man named H. W. Campbell,
who now lives at Lincoln, Neb., has
been preaching it to the west for
years. He had the supreme nerve
Is years ago to tell the farmers who
were burned out by the drouth that
it was their own fault,
There was plenty of rain, he said,
but it ran off the hard baked fields.
and evaporated from the crusted
earth and did the crops no good.
II it had been 1000 years ago they
would have stoned him. But in the
nineteenth century they jeered and
derided him. But he went on. No
founder of superstition ever worked
harder for proselytes than did Camp
bell for believers in his sane and SIM
L pie religion of making crops grow
where nothing grew before.
He taught them how to pl0w deep,
The Wenatchee daily world. [volume] (Wenatchee, Wash.) 1905-1971, 1909-03-17

pack the bottom of the furrow slice,
and leave the top loose This let the
rain soak in easily, instead of running
off, and the loose mulch cut the moist
ure off from the wind and sun, and
kept it from evaporating. Then he
showed them how to harrow it when
ever it got crusted on the top, and
save rain from season to season, so
that even with the dry years, the
ground kept getting moisture year by
year.
Nobody paid him to do it, except
by subscribing for the various pa
pers he founded, and by asking him
to lecture sometimes, and purchasing
the cheap manuals he wrote and sold
1t never amounted to much. Any
successful ward heller in any big
city can make more money in year
than Campbell can in 10.
But the feeling that truth must be
told makes the telling of it it's own
reward. The recent. dry tanning
congress is proof that the Campbell
method has won. And the world will
profit by the knowledge that by prop
err tillage little rain can be made
to go a long way. South Africa,
western Canada, the Siberian steppes,
Australia and arid South America,
rainfall and the growing populations
of the world will be fed.
The waste of rain is one of the
most ruinous of wastes-Spokane
