Dry Farming East and West

Dry farming may be relied upon,
where rainfall is scanty, says Farm and
Fireside of Springfield, o. 1T is we'll
tried system of agriculture, and is
based on scientific principles and the
practice Of ages. H. W. Campbell who

lea, has systematized some very old.
practices and has preached them to the
despairing farmers of the semiarid
west. until, aided by several seasons of
excessive rainfall, those regions have
imbibed hope instead of despair, and
successful farming seems likely to be
extended over thousands of square miles
where II would be impossible without
the dry farming system But he has
never preached it as 4 substitute for
rainfall. nor has he ever held out TO
those countries the deceptive hope that
the climate viii ever change.
The fates-or, as the ancients called
1t. the stars"-have decreed that the
lands under the lee of the Rocky noun
tains must always be content with
scanty rainfall. This does not mean that
great populations of happy and success
ful people may not be sustained there;
but 1t does mean that such populations
must succeed in spite of the aridity.
In all kinds Of farming,
It is not in our stars. but in ourselves
That we are underlings
In fact, the existence of this vast
arid region and the methods rendered
necessary by its natural conditions
seem likely to prove blessing to the

Science Of Dry Farming; How To Do 1t Successfully

plants from the coldframe are set on
the sides of the ridges about three
inches above the water line The plants
possible adhering TO the roots, and
should be irrigated Immediately after
they are set. Plants of dwarf varieties
should be set about . Y feet apart in
the row breaking spaces between rows
on opposite sides of the ridges, which
subsequently serve as dry resting
ground for the fruit laden vines. What
ever varieties may be employed, the
plants should be so spaced as TO thor
oughly cover the ground in hot wealth
er, thus modifying the temperatures to
which the fruit is subjected and re-
stricting evaporation from the soil.
Irrigation and Cultivation.
Throughout the season tomatoes in
well titled sandy loan require irriga-
ton about every 10 days-less often
from March to May; more frequently
during June and July when the main
should follow irrigation as long as the
plants permit. This is especially de-
sirable IN a soil containing alkali, mas
much as cultivation, by breaking up
the evaporating surface, counteracts
the tendency to form a crust at the
crest OF the ridges.
The cost Of irrigating and cultivating
the crop is small, the main expense be-
ing in picking and marketing the crop.
The total labor expended on half acre
fields during three years was as fol-
lows:

A somewhat unusual experiment is
that which is being made by Mr.. Quinn,
horticulturist for the province of South
Australia. He explains it in the Jour
nal of Agriculture:
In connection with the tillage Of
orchards in the open country where the
rainfall is only a trifle over 20 inches,
the soil should be broken up roughly
in the early winter and allowed to re-
main in that condition until the begin
ming of spring. Then blowing or
digging should be done with a view to
exposing as big a surface of the soil as
possible to the action of the elements,
and with a view to the absorption of all
the rain that falls. Weeds will pos
sibly grow on the roughly plowed
ground but not much notice need be

HINTS FOR STOCK OWNERS
From Farm Journal

Never feed corn alone to hogs. 1t is
false economy
Carelessness in handling pigs is
bad habit to acquire.
Even on cold days hogs should have
plenty of good fresh air.
The idea that anything is good
enough for pig is a mistaken one.
Some corn stalks may be fed to the
porkers every day. They are sweet
and do the hogs good.
Some farmers sell their corn shelled
and others dispose of it in the ear. but
western farmers find 1t most profitable
to sell it in the hog.
Nowadays draft horses must be
matched to sell well.
Choose for the breeding mare solid
color-dark bay, black or chestnut.
In countries where colts run out the
year around. the mature horses have
much stronger legs.
Horses of color and with peculiar
markings never sell so well as those of
solid colors; besides they are more
difficult to match.
Look out for bad habits IN your
colts. It is so much easier to keep
them out than it is to get rid of them
If they once get hold on the young
horse.
All good farmers watch the condition
Of their colts when put into winter
quarters. a colt allowed to lose it's
colt flesh and become thin. will never
make the horse he would if kept grow
ing from the start.
The best feeds are clover hay, a
mixture Of oats, wheat bran. Iinseed-
meal and roots.
The sheep barn must be dry and well
ventilated. Foul oders and too much
heat bring on pneumonia
All straw, stalks, ETC., used for litter

Gather the eggs several times day.
Clean out the nest boxes and burn
the old straw.
Start right by getting better hens;
end right by keeping them better.
A good grain mixture for winter
evening feeding is two-fourths whole
corn, one-fourth wheat and one-fourth
oats.
Increase the supply of corn in the
evening feeding as the weather grows
colder Corn is an excellent heating
food.
Ventilation that comes in everywhere
through the cracks is not ventilation
at all: it is cold sllivers up and down
the back and lots of discomfort. Don't
let it be that way in your houses.
1 never crowd too many into one
house; six square feet of floor space
for each bird is about right. have
found double-board floors, up off the
ground the best. 1 keep plenty Of
straw on the floors and throw the
grain in this so they must work to
find it.
Changeable weather this month is
apt to develop colds. Keep a close
watch on the stock, and at once remove
an ailing bird from the flock. a warm,
dry coop or cage, and One-grain quiz
nine pill each night for three nights in
succession, will soon bring the bird
back to good health.

Tomatoes belong to that class of
plants sensitive to the extremes both
of heat and cold occurring in the arid
southwest They must therefore be
grown in the interval between killing
frosts IN spring. and midsummer; and
during the similar, but shorter fall sea-
son.
Planting the Seed-Seed may be sown
IN the field where the plants are to re-
main, after danger from killing frOsts
IS ever: but II is usually preferable to
start the plants IL cOldfTames, later
transplanting 10 the field. Some sea
sons coldframes are inadequate and
hotbeds with bottom heat are essential
TO the best success. The cOldfraEe,
well placed in a protected situation,
Should be provided with ample cover
for frosty nights. Such cover was
needed, for instance, on the night Of

q cheap cover of semi-transparent oiled
muslin may be employed, admitting
light and heat TO the plants duping
chilly days, and adding materially to
the temperature.
The Soil.
The soil Of the seed bed should be a
sandy loan. if possible virgin ground
uninfested with damping-off fungi and
other plant diseases usually found in
soil which has been cultivated any
length of time. The seed may be broad
casted and brushed to a depth Of half
an inch or, better, may be sown in
rows three to four inches apart An
inch of pure horse manure in small
pieces will improve the surface of
the seed bed. The water used
for sprinkling should be as free
from all1an salts as possible. Ditch wa
ter is usually preferable.
A stand of small plants being Sc

of absorption.
a juicy wether hung up in a cold,
dry place will provide choice dinners
for the family until it is used up. Don't
forget to have mashed turnips ano
butter with il.
That nice eve is just as nice for you
to keep as she is for the man who
likes the looks of her to buy. Unless
you are overstocked. keep her; and if
you are, better sell some other sheep.
A good rack for feeding sheep can
be made by almost any sensible farmer.
About ali that is needed is a support
for the hay so that it shall not fall
TO the ground and be wasted and also
be handy for the sheep TO get at.
4 temper under control is an invalu-
able asset to a man employed in hand
ling cows.
Warmth is half the feed for cows,
and remember that foul air does not
keep an animal warm.
Every COW should be brushed thor
oughly each day. Keeping the skin
clean and active is conducive to health.
Make up your mind that you will not
let the calves get stunted this winter.
Keep them growing. They will be
better cows, and better cows are what
we are all working for.
1t is much better and cleaner not to
wipe dairy utensils with a cloth, no
matter how white it may be. If the
cleansing water is plentiful and hot,
the vessels dry much more BEAUTIFULLY
without wiping
There is no danger of overstocking
the dairy cow market so long as the
II
disposal of the calves continues. When
COWS sell for from $50 to $40 at public
sales, it seems like folly to hurry off
the calves for a few dollars a head.

These figures indicate the intensive
character of tomato culture as TO labor
requirements. which are therefore best
met in more thickly populated locaH-
ties.
Varieties.
The result of comparative trials with
16 of the best known varieties at the
Yuma garden is, that while Sparks
Earliana gives the earliest desirable
fruit under our conditions, Dwarf
Champion, nearly as early is much the
better producer and shipper; superior
in appearance and as a steady pro-
longed bearer. Dwarf Champion and
Burpee's Quarter Century, also sue
cessful variety, are both of compact
dwarf habit, and distinguished by the
dense foliage which affords needed pro-

lection from the sun TO the fruit dur
ing the picking season. In northern
Arizona, WHERE the summers are less
severe, varieties of diffuse habit, as
Acme, grow satisfactorily
The Harvest.
In the warmer valleys of Arizona,
Dwarf Champion tomatoes started in
January and transplanted to the field
early in March, will begin to bloom
about the last of April and at Yuma
will usually ripen fruit early in June.
The main crop is harvested from about
June 90 to August l. a secondary fall
crop appearing on the same vines dur
ing October and November
Yields.
At the Yuma garden the yields, main
ly Dwarf Champion, during three years
were as follows:
Marketable
Conditions crop per
acre.
All favorable 26.O21 lbs.
Serious losses by 1928 lbs.
worms nematodes and
cracked fruit caused
by rain.
ditto 1870 lbs
ground-virgin soil or soil which has
todes, such as alfalfa, sweet potatoes,
onions or peanuts.
The Fusarium disease of tomato
roots, tomato blight and blossom end
rot are known in the region but do
comparatively little damage in newly
cultivated soils.
Industrial Outlook.
During the three years of our eX-
perience with the crop quite satisfac-
tory prices have been realized in Ari-
iona markets. For % pound, four bas-
ket crates on board the cars at Yuma
the returns have ranged from 81 a
crate for the first shipments in June
to 65 cents late in July. But the de-
mand for fresh fruit is limited. and the
highest prices are now in large part
secured by Mexican shippers in Quay
mas and Hermosillo, whose nearly
frostless climate enables them to reach
our markets from February to May,
inclusive.
Canned tomatoes. hoYever-cheap,
refreshingly acid in hot weather, and
available for many forms of cookery,
are more than usually popular in this
region. Between three and four mil
toes are consumed in Arizona, shipped
in mostly from California at a dis
lance of from three to 700 miles. 1t is
probable that here exists an opportun-
ity for the development of home can
ming industry which may utilize the
product of a considerable area of in
tensively cultivated land.
