LITTLE RAIN FOR BIG. CROPS
Farmer Experiments and After Year
Of Extreme Dryness Gets so
Bushels an Acre.

Farmers In the Southwest are find
ing out how to raise corn with very
little rain and not depend on irriga-
tion. either New Mexico dry farmers
will be interested in the following de-
scription by James ID. Seay of Te-
cumseh, Okla, Of a drought-resisting
corn:
'In answer to the many persons
who have written me asking for more
information regarding 'Seays Mexo-
mer June, variety of drought-resist-
ing corn, desire to say that, because
of insufficient rainfall, began to
study the dry system OF farming and
experimenting in cross-breeding Of
corn. procured some corn from the
dry regions of Old Mexico and cross
bred It with home varieties. and as a
result produced a variety that have
called 'Seay's Mexomer June The
name Of Mexomer indicates that the
parent varieties were selected In
Mexico and Oklahoma, and June that

Last year the rainfall was so light
that tracks made while laying it were
visible at harvest time. Yet this corn
averaged sixty bushels to the acre.

weeks drought and the average yield
is estimated from so to 100 bushels an
acre.

the goal to which my ambition as.
pires, but one thing will do, and that
is promulgate and establish system
of culture and breeding that will make
the greatest cereal produced in Amer
lea, and my success so far has been
achieved without the aid Of irrigation
or fertilizer. The secret, If II should
be called the secret, of growing corn
successfully, is in the seed, soil and
cultivation.
THE seed that has been interbred
with its kin has lost vitality; It con
tains enough vitality to germinate
but not enough to give the young plant
quick and vigorous growth. When
the plant comes up it looks puny and
sickly. 1t is the offspring of long
line of interbred kin and does not pos
sess enough vitality to survive q
drought.
The plant that successfully reslsts
drought must be healthy, strong and
vigorous; it's thousands of capillaries
will work automatically gathering VI
moisture from mother earth where
there seems to be no moisture and Its
growth will be rapid, The unhealthy
plant will not resist a drought sue
cessfully; it's capillaries do not pos
sess enough vitality to gather VI
moisture, the water supply is cut of
and the plant withers and decays
This defect can be removed only b,
, using pure and high-bred seed, anC
pure seed can be obtained only by |
process OF scientific breeding.
"The soil and cultivation are alst
important factors in successful corr
culture and should by no means b,
overlooked"

Protection Of Forests From Fire.

As the value of lumber and of for
ests increases and the necessity of pro-
tecting them from fires as far as pos
sible becomes appreciated, the owners
and the different organizations controll-
ing the forests are using every means
of securing them against destruction
by thorough patrol system, organized
fire fighting squads with tools and
yGsiHment for extingulshins fires 10
cated at accessible points, by con-
stantly warning the public against the
careless use of fire, and by every 9TH
er available means. The number OF
forest guards on the national forests
is inadequate for the work, in some
cases a single man having the respon
sibility of protecting 100000 acres
whereas In most places there should
be at least one guard for every 10000
acres. Prussia has guard for every
100 acres.
