PRINCIPLES OF DRY FARMING.
Subsoiling or Deep Flowing the Best
Way to Utilize the Moisture.

The idea of dry-farm;ng carries
with it usually also the idea Of arid
or at least semi-arid climate condi-
tons And it was in and for such
conditions that the idea of scientific
dry-farming was originated. But al
most every region in America has
its "dry-spell" Every summer it can
be expected in tie Willamette Valley
in Oregon, once in awhile early and
sometimes of duration. And when
either OF these conditions prevail we
hear complaint of short crops. lrri-
cation has been talked OF and expert
menst are being made. 1t may be
questioned whether irrigation is prac
teal for some parts OF the valley. but
il certainly is practical to conserve
the moisture by scientific dry-farming
methods.
The basic principles OF this system
are simple TO give the ground
chance to absorb the water we must
have deep blowing in time to receive
the precipitation Many farms in this
naturally rich valley are plowed only
and hard pan or cemented strata
seems to form. preventing the per
collation. of the water to the lower
stratas, where it can be drawn up
when warm weather comes on The
remedy is subsoiling. or deep blowing
in the fall or also early in the spring.
10 allow the moisture TO be absorbed
and given up again later. Then the
waste OF moisture must be stopped by
pulverizing the surface soil and by
frequent stirring to break up the ca
pilliary. In other words = dust mulch
is needed where crops are cultivated
10 hold the moisture for use OF the
plant roots
The conditions which DR. Worst
has described as applying to North
Dakota. seem To be much the same As
some OF the eastern Oregon and other
Scmi-arid regions in the northwest.
and the suggestions he has made to
utilize dry-farming methods apply
with equal force. But. as already sug
gested. il dry-farming is good in re
gions where the rainfall is deficient.
how much more can it be useful
where there is an ample sufficicncy OF
moisture to conserve The Rival

GRAIN-SORGHUM CROPS.
This Fodder is Admirably Adapted to
the Feeding of Stock.

In farmers bulletin-No. 448-
with the title Better Grain Sorghum
/ Crops" issued by the Department OF
/ Agriculture, Caleton r. Ball expresses
the opinion that the great plains re
gion. where the sorghums are grown
extensively, gives promise OF becom-
ing a second great feeding belt, sim
( liar to the corn belt. The area, he
j says, is admirably adapted to growing
both stock and the necessary feeding
/ crops. These crops will be corn in
greater rainfall. and grain sorghums
/ in the higher and drier parts.
( The grain sorghums. says the
writer OF the new bulletin. may be
greatly improved through the selec-
ton of better varieties and the use
of better methods. The improvements
will be chiefly in the direction Of
drouth resistance; eariness: dwarf
stature; productiveness, including
heads and freedom from suckers and
branches. and increased machine har-
vesting
The Improvement OF the nature OF
the crop may be accomplished by seed
selection. This, argues Mr. Ball.
should be the work OF the boys on the
farm Complaint is commonly
made" he says, that the children arc
not interested in the farm, and that
many OF them leave it as soon as pos
siblc. Interest can be awakened by
giving the boys and girls something
definite to do in the way of improving
the farm and its products. Once
started, they should be encouraged to
feel responsible for results They
should also receive money return
however small. for the Improvement
resulting from their efforts.
at is not necessary to await the
formation OF neighborhood corn
club in order TO interest the boy in
selecting better seed. Help him to
make selections from the years crop
Let him prepare it for storing over
winter Set aside field on which he
can plant il the following spring,
Plant alongside it some unsolicited
seed Assist him in comparing the
two fields Encourage him if striking
results are not obtained the first year
Give him fair share OF the profit
when profit results from his labors.
The best result will be the increase of
interest and knowledge in the boy"
Mr. Balls advice in this direction
is not intended only for those who
wish to improve their grain sorghum
crops. but to every farmer in the en-
tire country. whether he grows cot
ton, corn. wheat, rice, oats, potatoes
or any other staple farm crop.

NEW GRAIN OF HARDY MERIT
Speltz and Emmer Especially Adapted
for Great Plains Region.

SpeltZ and emmer are really two
distinct grains, and differ practically
as much as the pear differs from the
apple. Emmer is a German name. and
we have no English equivalent Speltz
is plant of similar appearance, but
quite different Both emmcr and
speltZ are grown in Russia, and it is
from Russia that the emmer has been
introduced into the great plains re-
gion, stretching from the Canada line
to the Gulf of Mexico west of the 98th
meridian, where the annual rainfall
is only from Is to 20 inches.
Emmer is really a species of wheat.
with heads almost always bearded,
very compact, and much flattened on
the two-ridged sides. 1t is hardy
plant, resists drought and rust, and
is recommended by Professor Carrie
ton in Farm and Home as a valuable
grain in the section above mentioned
1t is, i'll fact, a grain for the semi-arid
regions, but often compares well with
other crops in the more humid sec
tons because it stands up well. is
comparatively rust, smut ana fungus
proof. and drought resistant
1t is probably the least exacting OF
all the grains so far as cultivation is
concerned 1t should always be
drilled, at about the same rate per
acre as oats and as early as possible.
as ii will stand a good degree OF
spring frost.
The yield is usually from 20 to 40
bushels per acre. although as high as
63 have been obtained. Its average
yield probably does not differ much
from that of oats, and it is preferable
where oats are liable to rust or lodge
Its feeding value is probably less than
that of either oats or barley.

Farm Animals Crave Salt.

All farm animals have an instinct
i've craving for salt But il it is so
placed as to be always within their
reach, they will consume just as much
as they need, and no more. 1t is only
when it has been kept from them for
a long period that there is danger of
their eating too much. 1t is therefore
an excellent practice to keep it in a
box or boxes where they can have
access to it whenever they desire.
When they are sailed. as is the prac
tice with many farmers only once a
week, while some may get enough,
others may suffer from deficient
supply. Salt promotes an active cir
culation of the blood, which never be
comes thick and sluggish so long as
the supply is plentiful; it assists di-
gestion, and is often preventive OF
disease. 1t is so cheap that no stock
raiser can really afford to deny to his
animals all they need of it.
