Control Surface Water.
Progressive Farmer.)

itSt
There is no more important sub
ject for the Southern farmer than
the control Of the water which falls
on his lands during the growing sea-
son. There are few years that crops
on some lands do not suffer at some
time for lack of moisture, but this
may be almost entirely overcome by
good farming-deep blowing, filling
the soil with humus, shallow Guilt
vation, etc. The excess Of water,
however, throughout the greater part
Of our territory Is a more important
matter. Wet spells occur nearly
every year which either lessen the
crops or entirely ruin them on a
large part Of Southern lands. Sur
face and understandings are live
problems which demand the best
thought and efforts Of the Southern
farmer.
