PRACTICE OF DRY FARMING
Principles Consist In Deep Flowing
and Thorough Pulverixation to
Retain Winter Moisture.

Hon. F. W. Mondell. OF Newcastle,
wyo.. the president of the dry farm

ington. said: Dry farming In its mar
rover and more restricted sense is
applied to the practice of agriculture
and the growth OF crops in regions of
limited rainfall through conservation
OF the natural moisture. In its broad
er sense dry farming as preached by
this international congress embraces
the theory and practice OF scientific
agriculture through which all avail

The practical principles OF dry

DUTCH COLLAR AND CUFFS
Some Valuable Hint, for the Many
Who Are Fond of Wearing
Dainty Frlils.

The girl who likes TO tighten a dark
costume with dainty frills. should
make herself one Of the sets OF round
ing Dutch collar and cuffs In plated
lawn.
The frills are made of fine white
lawn or dotted muslin. They are cut
three and a half inches wide for the
collar and two inches for the cuffs.
Mark the edge in a tiny scallop with
n spool OF two hundred cotton. and
buttonhole in white or colored mercer
lied cotton in shallow line.
when finished sew into eighth OF an
inch side plaits and sew into narrow
band the right length to fit around
wrist and neck.
The frill falls softly from the band
or in the sleeves may be inverted and
turned back. being caught at one side
with lace pin.
Instead of arranging in plaits. which
are hard to iron. the frills may be run
In thread tucks to give the fullness
This model is good for high turn
over effects and for the Dutch collar
For the latter the strip should be
made narrower at the ends than in the
middle.

Do not be in hurry to turn the

PRINCIPLE OF SOIL MULCH
Loose, Dry Material Covering Wet
Land Retains Movement Of
Moisture to the Surface.

CBy PROFESSOR FREER. Colorado Ag-
ricultural CollegeD
A mulch is anything applied to the
surface of the soil. primarily for the
purpose of preventing evaporation.
and occasionally to keep down weeds
and prevent winter killing of plants.
There are two general kinds Of
mulches: ID Foreign material. such
as straw. leaves. sawdust, manure.
stubble and sand applied to the sur
face: t2D Those composed Of natural
soil modified by tillage. One of this
kind is called dust mulch" or dust
blanket" and is simply layer of soil
which has been loosened up and dried
out.
Mulehes of foreign material play a
very small part in general farming
but are extensively used in horucui-
ture in some localities.
The principle of the mulch is as fol-
lows: Loose. dry material covering
wet soil retards the movement Of
water TO the surface. and keeps the
dry. circulating air from contact with
the moist soil. thereby greatly reduc-
Ing the loss OF water.
The inner the MUNICH the looser IL
must-be. TO give good results. Ordi-
nary soil mulches two to three inches
deep are usually most effective When
mulch becomes wet its effective
ness is gone until 1t dries out again.
Light rains and irrigations on a
mulched soil are worse than no appli;
walton of water. because they only
wet and destroy the mulch and al
low the water from below to escape.
without adding any TO replace It Ad-
ditional expense is incurred by the
cultivation which must be immediate
ly started to restore the mulch.
A quantity of water retained by cul-
tivation is OF far greater value even
where water is plentiful than the
same amount applied to the soil. One
OF the great principles of dry farming
is to keep a good mulch on the soil
all the time TO prevent loss Of water by
evaporation.

Ribbon Flowers.

Ribbon flowers are both fashionable
and beautiful The rosebud spray is
very pretty. Cut bias strips three
inches wide OF chiffon or any soft
satin fabric: satin is the best. Make
a fold which will be one and a half
inches wide. Fasten thread and start
winding around and around. Keep the
fold tight in the center and loose on
the outside until you have your rose
OF the desired size. For hair wreaths
which are so pretty. attach green rose
foliage. which can be bought for a
small amount Forget-me-nots are

tool Immediately after plowing so the
soil around all vegetation plowed un-
der is firm and thus hastens decay.
Compacting the soil also destroys
large air spores and establishes capil-
larity between the soil and subsoil.
In order to prevent surface evapora-
ton the plowing should be dragged
Immediately after subsurface packing
unless the soil is very fine and mel
low with tendency to blow. The
land should be dragged after every
rain SO as to bottle up that water in
the subsoil and also prevent any loss
of previous rains.
In regions of scanty rainfall (15
inches or less) it is generally advan-
tageous to summer till a half or at
Such land should be plowed early in
the season before any weeds have TAX
en- out any soil moisture and after
blowing 1t should be kept free from
weeds all summer and a dust mulch
should be kept on the field to prevent
all the evaporation possible. In re-
gions of over Is inches of rain the
same results can be obtained by a
well-kept cultivated crop. II this
work is not done well and at the
proper time all the seasons work will
be for naught
The principles of dry farming or
moisture conservation are bound to
have a profound influence on both the
irrigated section and in the humid
farming regions. 1t is teaching the
irrigated farmer that he is generally
using a good deal too much water and
1t will teach the farmer of the humid
regions how TO avoid the disastrous
effects OF drouths which occur with
such frequency.

How necessary it is in the home to- day or at the office to have a waste basket, and some days it seems as though if we had two or three there would be none too many. besides get ting waste baskets in willow, reed or rattan, in square or round, you can find baskets strong and substantial of wire. sheet metal, wood, for home Or office use. The palm leaf desk basket is one that sells rapidly as does the wire and metal, and if you are in need of baskets of any kind for office or home it will be to your advantage to stop at Jackson's Book shop, 9S6-9SS Main St., and look at the variety and price.
