TO GUARD AGAINST DROUGHT
Farmers Of Western Kansas Plant
About Half of Their Milo and
kafir Crop Quite Thinly.

One form OF insurance against
drought is used by some successful
farmers in western Kansas. They
plant about half OF their milo or katir
crop quite thinly each year. If Ia
vorable season follows they get full
yields on the area planted at the nor
NAL rate. and fair yields on the area
thinly planted. II the season is dry.
they get light yields or none on the
area normally planted. but still get
fair yield from the feeding grain
every year. with but a small loss in
total yield in the good seasons.
AS a matter of fact. II a farmer
were to plant his entire area thinly
every year and thereby obtain fewer
bushels In five-year period than he
would by normally planting. his thin
planting might still be the most prof
table. Large yields in favorable sea
sons and poor yields or no yields at
all in unfavorable seasons mean sell
ing a surplus at a low price and buy
| ing In times of scarcity at high
prices. A yield OF one hundred bush
els per acre in FIVE years at the rate
of 30 bushels per acre every year
might. therefore, be worth more TO
the grower than 146 bushels in five
years, with q surplus In favorable sea-
sons and famine in the dry sea.
