OF GREAT VALUE TO The LAND

Relation Of Humus in the Soil to
Moisture.
Farmers hear much of the value of
humus in the soil. Its value is seen
in two ways:
/. Humus is the substance that
contsjnB the nitrogen, the most costly
Of all the elements of fertility. So
we see that as land loses it's humus,
It also loses it's dark color and loses
it's nitrogen.
2. Humus holds the moisture. Here
IL a comparative statement that will
help to fix that important fact In our
mind. One hundred pounds of clean
dry sand will take twenty-five pounds
Of water to saturate It, 100 pounds of
ordinary clay loan, perfectly dry. will
take ffty-six pounds of water before
It becomes saturated; while 100
pounds of dry leaf mold soil, which is
the best of humus, will take 1876
pounds of water to saturate it. Thus
We can see that the black mold will
hold nine times as much water as the
sand and three and a half times as
much as the clay loan. Some day
we will catch on to the practice of
blowing under rye, clover, or other
green crops to increase the amount Of
humus in our soil.-Hoard's D%airyncan,

One of the hardest things in irrigation is to make water u up hill.
Fields that look perfectly level are full of deuIons which will be more ap
parent when the work of irrigation begins. Then the tedious process of
getting watero " the ground with the shovel takes the place of the gravity
distribution which is possible where ground is properly graded.
The wise farmer will spend much time in grading his land and getting
it ready for irrigation before putting in the seed. Grading is a species of
permanent improvement which is done once for all.
The grader is also useful in making bitches and latmls and in i'm
proving roads. 1t will do the work Of the King drag and much more. It is
a very useful. implement for the irrigated farm.
