CULTIVATION OF DRY CROPS
Main Thing 10 to See That Plants
Have Good Roots-No Tearing
Out II Done Properly.

Professor Blount was recently
quoted as advocating the advantage OF
cultivating grain crops In the arid
regions and being laughed at by some
who could not understand the philoso-
ply Of such a proposition Professor
Blount is absolutely right as ! have
proved by experience. Last season at
Cheyenne was one OF the driest on
record and all crops grown on the
state dry farm under my supervision
were cultivated several times after
they were up and had good roots
some when knee high to the team.
writes DIR. V. T. Cooke in the Denver
Field and Farm. The object OF cult
waiting with the crop as high as this
was more to show that such culuva-
tion although possibly not beneficial
at least did no harm.
The crops cultivated were winter
wheat and winter rye In the spring.
Then in due time we also cultivated
spring wheat. oats. barley. emmer or
speltz. Canadian field peas. stock
beets. corn. millet. sorghum and pota-
toes. A twelvefoot three-row spring

used. This lever enables the driver

The main thing Is to see that the

is properly done. very little II any
tearing out will occur. but the work
will surely get rid of thousands OF

A great deal more Importance
should be attached to this cultivation
than there is. The weeder gives tho
