Government Declares War on Sparrows

song, but drives out the song birds
and brings only noise in return.
After having learned all this about
the sparrow, after an extensive in

bird. First, whenever sparrows roost
around your house, destroy their nests
If they roost at night on your caves

vented

CARE NEEDED IN DRY FARMING
High Authorities Assert 20 Inches OF
Water Is Minimum Necessary
for Good Crops.

The subject of dry farminB--now a
very conspicuous object in the public
eye-lke all other great subjects, 1t
has its advocates and opponents; is in
short. a two-sided question In the es-
timation of those who take opposite
sides in discussing 1t. But viewed
from one standpoint, that of INSULT
cient rainfall where dry farming Is
practiced, the system is always right,
provided there is sufficient rainfall SO
that its conservation by the dry farm
ing system can be made to produce
good crops, when without that sys.
TEN no crops would be produced.
This applies in districts where the
rainfall is always insufficient and
where 1t is only occasionally so. In
the last, the principle of dry farming
should be understood, so that 1t may
be practiced when demanded by con-
ditions. That conservation of soil
moisture is secured by certain meth
DDS of cultivation is we'll known; but
there must be moisture to conserve
else there will be no crops. This
moisture must come from rainfall or
irrigation; and high authorities assert
that 20 inches of water annually on
land Is the minimum amount demand
ed even where dry farming is prac.
ticed
This Is very important, II true, and
Is warning that deserves needing by
those who are tempted to locate on
arid lands, depending upon a given
system of cultivation done to produce
crops. 1t Is feared that advocates of
dry farming, or believers in 1t as a
saving grace under all conditions will
in their enthusiasm, fail to consider
the limitation referred to either when
trying to sell arid lands or trying to
buy land at the lowest possible price,
depending upon dry farming to pro.
duce crops on 1t. In short, It needs
to be understood that care must be
taken in locating on lands to be dry.
farmed as upon any other sort. Aver.
age rainfall and character of the soil
are as necessary under dry farming
as under any other system. In fact,
character of the soil. especially the
sub-soil, is more vital matter un.
der dry farming than under other sys.
