GOOD OATS FOR DRY FARMING
Best Plan TO Sow Two Varieties,

or the many varieties Of oats
which we have tested on irrigated
land, the Kherson and Sixty:day have
generally made the best yields Of
grain. This has been because these
varieties are early.maturing Usual.
ly, the earliest variety Of oats will
give the best results on unirrigated
land: but some years the drought
comes Just as the early varieties are
heading or filing. They are then cut
short 1t often happens that rain
comes just a few days too late to
make the early oats fill well. In such
a time. variety which ripens ten
days or two weeks later will be head.

fitted by the rain which was too late
for the early variety. In this case.
the later variety will make a good
crop when the early one will fail.
With these facts before us. we can
see that II is good plan to SOW two
varieties Of oats: Kherson for early,
and Swedish Select. or Colorado No.

drought strikes either variety. 1t may
give small yield of hay. The later
varieties OF oats will usually make
more straw than the early ones. so
they may be planted for hay. Land

seedbed for oats by double-disking

GROW ALFALFA ON DRY LAND
Excellent Plan to Select Strain That
Grows Coarse, Strong staIk-OrilI
Seed Carefully.

In adapting alfalfa to dry farming
, very good plan lie to select strrin
that grows a coarse. strong stalk. use
the same strain Of seed year after year
and thus adapt the plant to local con.
ditions. We would prefer to pay q
dollar a pound for seed grown several
years under such conditions than to
use seed at market prices that has not
been acclimated. The alfalfa seed
from Turkestan which the agricultu.
raj department foisted on US several
years ago Is not suited to high table
lands and does better In fields under
irrigation which Is Just contrary to the
dope that was handed out to us by
the alleged scientists, says the Den
yer Field and Farm. We should say
that a sufficient quantity to SOW on
dry land Is TO drill in eight pounds Of
seed the acre. using any Of the up
to-date styles Of corn planters that
carry an onion seed plate with holes
thirteen slxty-fourths Of an inch In di.
ameter. Drill the seed carefully to the
depth Of an inch. The soil should be
In perfect condition to assure germi.
nation Of full and even stand. Hav.
Ing drilled the seed. with a two-row
corn planter, the drills are just right
to be cultivated with q common two
row riding plow. The shovels should
be run to depth Of three inches and
thus compel the alfalfa roots to keep
below the three-lnch soil mulch. 1t
will probably be necessary to cultivate
five times during the season and also
to break the soil crust after each rain
so as TO lessen the loss Of moisture.
Early In the season until the growth

humua In Orchard Soil.

The humus loosens the soil particles
which in turn Increases its water ca.
pacity. The humus is essential for
the growth OF the beneficial bacteria
In the soil. One Of the most important
parts that cover crop plays is Its
ability to change chemically the com
pounds OF the soil and put them In an
available form for the trees. The
clover crop gathers. digests and turns
over to the trees the plant food which
II has stored.
