Dry Farm Methods,

Some complaints have been made
that the so-called dry farming meth
DDS do not succeed in very dry years
and that hence these methods are
wrong. Plants will not grow without
some moisture and the season of 1911
was unusually severe in its heat and
drought because 1t followed two other
similar seasons Immediately The
preceding seasons were not so bad,
but the rain came at such time of the
year that there was comparatively
little moisture in the soil during the
growing periods. This. however.
should not argue against the dry farm
ing methods. as they are simply good
farming methods which are applica-
BILE in greater or less degree to
every section of the United States
Dry farming methods do produce good
results in three seasons out of five
and are more likely to produce re-
suits every year than any other meth
cd which has been devised

POTASH IN MOHAVE DESERT
Reported That Vast Deposits Have
Been Found In caIifornia-Avaii-
able In Commercial Form.

Vast deposits OF potash are ru-
mored to have been found in Cali
fornia-enough to supply the United
States probably for thirty years. SO
government scientists estimate.
The potash was discovered in
Searles' lake. in the Mohave desert.
In San Bernardino county. Cal. Field
men Of the geological survey and the
bureau OF soils estimate that the de-
post may amount to 100000 tons.
but the authorities in Washington.
from data In their possession. believe
more than 100000 tons Of potash
is available there.
The great value Of the find is that
the product Is in readily available
commercial form. Most Of the potash
known to exist in many places In the
United States is not SO.
Similar dried up lakes containing
valuable deposits. 1t is believed by
government officials. exist in the arid
regions and will be discovered.
The government bureaus for some
time had sought throughout the coun-
try for potash. Telling certain supply
would be found. At present the United
States and other nations are almost
entirely dependent upon Germany for
potash.
II this report is true. it is Of great
Importance to the whole industrial
and agricultural world. 1t will cut the
price Of fertilizer in half and big in

SAVE SOIL MOISTURE
Land Should Be Oisked as Early
In Spring as Possible.
Some Farmers Do Not Appreciate Disk
Harrow's Many Uses-More vaiu'
able Than Any Other Piece Of
Farm Machinery.

Although the disk harrow is used on
largo number Of the farms OF Kan
sas. many farmers do not use It when
1t will do the most good.
Tue uses Of the diskg harrow are
many. and without doubt 1t is one OF
the most valuable implements on the
farm. 1t may be used to conserve
moisture. break up cloddy ground aft
er plowing. prepare hard and dry soils
for plowing. and destroy weeds after
they have grown beyond the control
OF the smoothing harrow.
The best way to preserve soil mois'
ture 10 to disk the land as early In the
spring as the condition Of the soil will
permit. BY doing this. large share
Of the water from spring rains and
melted SHOWS Is kept from evaporat-
ing. and by changing the texture OF
the top soil. to the depth the disk goes,
the surface soil. where roots start to
develop. will become warmer. drier.'
better aerated. and better suited to
lessen the rate of evaporation Of the
deeper soil water. and will hasten the
development OF weed seeds SO they
may be destroyed.
The most effective way to use the
disk in the spring work is to lap the
harrow half. and in doing this the
furrow between the sets OF disks will
be entirely filled and the surface will
be left level.
When labor is scarce and the farmer
must save time. the double acting disk
should be used. This Is a new i'm
plement recently placed on the market,
and Is considered by the authorities
Of the Kansas Agricultural college to
be built on good principle. Although
It has a heavier draft. there seems
to be little doubt that 1t will come in.
to general use In the near future.
Often. after plowing. a heavy rain
comes and compacts the soil. leaving
the best conditions possible for rapid
loss Of this water by evaporation.
This land should be gone over with q
disk as soon as the ground will per.
NIT. Many farmers follow the binder
with the disk: that is. they have the
disk run behind the binder before the
grain Is shocked. This is q good prac.
tice. as the stubble ground Is then In
the best condition to catch any rain
that might fall before plowing. and the
soil Is left in such a condition that
plowing Is made much easier
Where small grains are to folk "
corn or potatoes the use Of the disk
harrow will often rlake tho plow un'
necessary. but either the disk must
be run deep or a cutaway disk mus,
be used. The chief objections to the
cutaway disk are that 1t does not pull
verize the soil SO we'll. and 1t is not &C
easy to sharpen as the full.bladed
disk. Although 1t may run deeper
there is no appreciable difference in
the draft Of the two.
