DRY FARMING NOTHING new

Dry farming movements are not

The climate has not changed and Is

these milo. kafir, sorghum. millet,

lean beans are among the best. and
the last-named realize good immediate
cash returns.
One Of the most important points Ii
to secure enough moisture in the soil
before planting. atJany rate. for some
part Of the crop. which is best done
by following and clean tillage before
and after planting. With fifty per

There is plenty Of work to do, and
1t must be done thoroughly. not by
those people who hippantly regard
farming and usually slip out as soon
as things go wrong. Whether or not
to engage in dry farming is most
serious question. and must be largely
determined by the price Of the land

The ease with which a dust mulch

better crops because they do not so

BENEFITS OF DEEP FLOWING
Moisture Content ls Increased and
Less Readily lost-Also Holds
Heavy Rains In Summer.

Root area Is increased In deeply
plowed land. Flowing must be more
than eight inches in depth before 1t
can be considered as deep. Twelve
inches should gradually be attained
for best crop results on good soils.
Deep plowing. combined with the
growth OF deep rooted grasses, clovers
and other plants actually creates a
deeper soil for plant life.
Both chemical action and bacterial
life are increased. Plants are depend.
ent on both these actions for available
fertility which they can use. The
moisture content is increased and less
readily lost the greater the depth to
which It is stored and from whence
1t can return by capillarity for plant
use. Plant soup is more plentiful.
Deep plowing holds heavy summer
rains and prevents washing Soil Is

WHY IS FARM
HELP SCARCE?
Conditions Surrounding Country
Laborcr Almost Reverse
Of Those Employed
In the City.
OBy s. c, MILLER.1


Regularity and system OF employ.
ment In the city are such that the
employe knows exactly what Is re-
quired OF him: that he begins to work
at certain hour and stops at reg
ular hour. II he labor before or after
his regular working hours he Is al
lowed overtime, usually at double
wages, by the hour.
Furthermore. as the workman in
the city grows more proficient In his
line OF labor, promotion almost invar-
iably pushes him up notch higher,
In both position and salary.
Again, certainty Of employment the
year around holds many a man in the
city.
Tho conditions surrounding the
country laborer are almost entirely
the reverse OF those just mentioned in
the city. While most farmers have
regular hours for beginning work and
another for stopping. there are so
many interruptions and unlocked for
contingencies arising in crop or
weather conditions. that the hired
man frequently works two or three
hours overtime and ,this grows to be
such common occurrence that all he
gets for his extra labor is perhaps n
half.hour's longer rest at noon, which
