GETTING THE WAFER INTO THE SOIL
FIRST STEP IN MOISTURE CONSERVATION
Superintendent Ten E Of The Hays Experiment Station Gives SOe
FurthW Facts Regarding the Preparation Of the Soil
to Receive and Hold the Moisture
When and How to PlOw

, suffer from drought more quickly than
though It had been plowed shallow.
The loose soil dries out and capil'
larity Is broken, preventing the fur.
row-slice from receiving moisture
from the subsoil rapidly enough to
sustain the growing crop. The depth
and frequency Of blowing should vary
according to the nature OF the soil.
A light or sandy soil requires less
depth OF blowing and less frequent
blowing than a heavy, or compact
clayey or "gumbo" soil.
AS q general proposition, blowing
should be shallow when 1t precedea
planting only short time.
Plow deep in the fall, and plow deep
for summer fallow.
A long interval between plowing
and seeding allows the soil 20 settle
sufficiently, while freezing and thaw-
ing mellows the raw, hard subsoil
which has been brought to the sur
face.
The relative depths OF blowing may
be stated as follows:
Shallow blowing. ...S 10 4 inches.
Medium blowing. ...5 to 6 inches.
Deep blowing. ....-f-to s inches.
Flowing deeper than inches with
the common plow is not usually prac'
ticable, but the soil may be stirred
~ to IS inches deep with deep till
age plow or subsoil pillow, and in heavy
soil with hard compact sllbsoil. such
deep stirring may occasionally be de-
sirable.
When lard is allowed to lie for q
considerable period after blowing be-
fore the crop is planted, the settling
of the soil, together with the surface
cultivation to preserve the mulch and
the cementing due to rain, usually
causes the soil to repack and firm up
to a sufficient extent to make a good
seed-bed.

BREAKING OUT ON LEG

Excellence in health is a necessary
factor II the work OF the house 10 to
be kept up systematically and no
care that will accomplish this state
should be considered too little to OBJ
serve. Instead of feeling like right
eous martyr in giving up health for
ones household in its manifold cares,
the loss of health should rather be
looked upon. as the evident signs OF
failure--a condition to be deplored
certainly and to be remedied imms-
diately. Since 1t ID worry more often
than work that breaks women down,
and worry Is fretting over things,
whatever can be done to-femove the
cause Of worry win be as first aid to
the injured and will be one step in
the direction of perfecting health.
Love Of money is the root Of all evil.
1t is said, and we might add that lack
Of money is the root Of all worry.
Certainly Economy Of money is often
wastefulness of life." This trouble
some lack can be removed only IN
either of two ways, by increasing the
size of the income or by wiser ex-
penditure OF 1t as 1t exists. To fol-
low the second plan, and 1t is the
more important one, the first step 10
to fix ones standard of living and
know just where ones family belong

step is to make a proper division OF
the income according to the various
needs as controlled by such a STAN
dard, and then the last and hardest
step In the ladder will be the keeping
of the expenditures within the proper
divisions.
If a proportionate division of the
income is to be made and kept up, 1t
can only be satisfactorily done by
making permanent record Of 1t. To

~ HE MOST important step In soil
moisture conservation Is to
get the water into the soil.
When this has been accomplished, the
keeping 1t there and returning 1t grad
ually to the growing crop is rela-
lively simple matter. Many farmers
have yet failed to learn this most i'm
portant fact Of Dry Farming. That
the storing Of the moisture in the soil
Is the first and great principle Of soil
moisture conservation. The firming
and pulverizing Of the soil to prepare
the seed-bed, and the surface cultiya-
ton OF the soil to maintain the mulch,
are each without avail unless there
has been stored in the deeper soil q
sufficient amount Of moisture to sup
port the growing crop in time OF
drouth.
Now the moisture should be stored
at all times during the season, but es'
pecially during the interval between
harvest and planting. This requires
early blowing so that the soil may be
in condition to catch the rain and alb
sorb 1t.
In order that there may be room to
receive and store a heavy rain, deep
blowing is desirable. II blowing can
not be done early, the cultivation of
the unplowed land with q disk harrow
will keep the soil in good blowing con-
dition longer and favors the absorb
ton OF rain.
A good rule, but it cannot always
be followed, is to pillow when the soil
is In such condition that 1t will drop
from the mold-board in a mellow, fri.
able condition.
Deep blowing should be done with
purpose and intelligence. Loosening
the soil by deep blowing favors the
absorption of moisture, but If rains
do not come in time such land Will

When Sam Jackson, now the pub
Usher of the Oregon Journal at Port

Norman to go up to Pendleton with

so Sam wired to Mrs. Jackson:
Coming on the early morning train
Norman with me-" They got to
PendletOn about three a. m. and went
up to the Jackson house. The house
was lighted Jackson was surprised
to find Mrs Jackon waiting for him
and was further SURPRISED to observe
a rather stern expession on he face.
She met him at the door:
