ton given to the summer fallOw.
Corn is a good dry land crop. Ina
dry year the corn will give more fOd-
der per acre than can be obtained
from any other source. After the
corn or potatoes, the land should not
be plowed but simply disced when
preparing it for grain crop the fol-
lowing year. TO the growing of this
crop the objection has been urged,
that the corn crop takes moisture out
of the soil as we'll as grain crop.
1t certainly does. but the grain crop
draws moisture out of the surface
soil much more than crop of corn.
Reason the question as we may, the
fact remains, that after a crop of corn
there is much more moisture in the
soil than after a crop of grain, and in
the trials made, much better crops of
grain are obtained after corn than
after grain.
"When corn is to be grown on, say
stubble land, it is usually preferable
to plow it in the fall. In that way
the fall and spring rains penetrate it
more readily. 1t is firmer and, there
fore, loses moisture less readily than
spring plowed land. But to such
blowing there are some objections. 1t
loses the snow by drifting ana if the
land is sandy it blows. Sandy land
calls for special kind of farming.
When the land is thus plowed in the
fall, the work is done at a time when
it is more advantageous to do it than
III the spring when all farm work is
crowding.
Gone difficulty in a dry country is
to get hay. 1t will probably be found
that alfalfa will be the best hay crop
that can be grown. 1t will bring at
least one cropa year. AS rule it
will grow from year to year. The al
falfa crop is best started on corn land
or on summer falOw. 1t should give
the farmer about one and one-half
tons of hay each year on the dry land
Some years it may give lie S than Il
ton, but other years it will give more
than one and One-half tons. Much
alfalfa should be grown, for when it
is plowed up the roots enrich the
soil, and they will increase it's pow
er to hold moisture.
"The aim should be to avoid grow
ing two grams in succession. 1t will
be all right to grow Il cultivated crop
after grain In moist season grain
will grow well after grain, but who
knows beforehand whether the moist
season will come? 1t is Just rs likely
not to come and then the crop VIII
fail. My contention is that the farm
er should do his work, every year as
though he believed the next year
would be dry. If it is dry he is ready
for it, and he will get crop. If it
Is not dry his crop Will be just SO
much better than it would have been
| if he had not tarmed it ON that plan.
! or course, he cannot cover SO much
| ground by that plan but it is bushels
that he should seek rather than cul-
| tivating many acres on which the crop
is liable to fail.

MORE ADVISE ON
HOW TO DRY FARM

Prof. Thomas Shaw delivered an
address recently at Williston, n. d.,
which city is located just across the
eastern boundary line Of Montana. AS
his remarks are applicable to condi-
tiOns in this state. we reproduce por-
tions of the speech.
Prof. Shaw opened his address by
commenting ON the fact that west
ern North Dakota has received more
rainfall during the last few years
than formerly, but that the farmers
shouldn't presume that the good
years will always come and that crops
can be raised by farming slovenly.
lie insisted that the farmers of that
district would have no fear of unfa-
vorable seasons if they practiced the
agricultural methods used in Nor
tana, but that in order to receive
profitable crop each year all of west
ern North Dakota would have to re-
sort to the dry farming methods.
In comparing the soil OF western
North Dakota with the rich alluvial
deposits of the Judith Basin, lie said
that the moisture holding power of
the latter is much greater, which
coupled with the fact that the Judith
Basin receives Il higher annual pre-
cipitation than falls over the western
half of North Dakota, makes it ah-
sOlutely necessary that the farmers
of our neighboring state on the east
apply the most scientific methods of
agriculture obtainable.
Dry Farming Defined.
"Bnt it may be asked, continued
the professor what is dry farming?
Answer in brief is, that dry farming
is that method of farming which aims
to hold the moisture that falls to the
greatest extent that is practicable for
the benefit Of the growing crops. 1t
means first. that part of the and
shall be summer fallOwed every year:
second, that cultivated crops us corn
or potatoes shall be grown on another
part Of the land: third. that the land
is preferably plowed in the fall when
1t has not been summer t;llOWed or Il
cultivated crop should be grown upon
it: fourth, that hay shall be furnish
ed chiefly by alfalfa, which has much
power to withstand dry conditions:
fifth. that the fa rmers shall try and
avoid the growing Of two grain crops
in SUGGESTIONS: and sixth, that the
grain crop Shall be narrowed from
one to three times after it is up.
'By summer following mean
blowing the ground i'm the spring as
soon as the grain has been sowll, and
then keeping it clean and a dust
mulch on it by surface cultivation.
This means that such implements
must be run over it occasionally, as
the common harrow, the acme har-
row, the Nowens or the climax cult
vator. 1t would be an Improvement

tumn by drilling it in the stubbles in

would mean putting in buslel Of

the cost that the process would en-
tail, but the summer falloW should

increase the power of the land to
