Weekly Letter to Farmers
BY F. R. STEVENS,
AurjculturIst Lehigh Valley Railroad.


Il was said short time ago by one
of the most prominent fruit growers
along the line of the Lehigh Valley
that if he could have all moisture that
he wanted on his fields at the time he
wanted it, he could produce greater
elds than by the use of any CONNER
ercial fertilizer. This statement IL
rect in many respects, especially
~ ere the soil is naturally well sup
H. d with humus and mineral ele-
III, nts. The general purpose OF wa
ter in the soil is to act as solvent, q
dilutent and conveyor OF plant food.
1t is surprising the amount of water
that it requires to produce ono ton of
dry matter of the different crops For
example, in field Of maize $40 tons Of
water are required for every ton OF dry
matter produced. For every ton OF dry
matter produced in clover 676 tons OF
water are required. 1T is this all-im-
portant factor that makes the differ
ence between the desert and the Ter
tile farms. Therefore, il is very inn
portant that the farmer should take
every precaution to conserve the soil
moisture.
One of the best methods Of conser-
wing soil moisture Is by deep blowing
and soil mulching. Too many OF our
farmers are working but the top four
or five inches of soil, and more effort
should be made to till deeper. The
depth of the soil titled determines to
great extent the water holding ca
pacity of the soil. When shallow
blowing is practiced the water holding
capacity of the subsoil is very slight
it becomes hardened and closely pack
ed together, forming imperVious stra
Ia that will not allow the water to pene
trate into the subsoil. When soils are
left with loose, open structure, at
happens with deep blowing, not only
is the ability OF the soil to retain moist
ure increased, but larger proportion
Of this retained water becomes avail
able to the crops.
We cannot afford to pillow our soils
four or five inches deeper than usual
this spring, because the mixing OF this
compact and unweathered subsoil with
the top layer will reduce the yield I'M
til the subsoil has become weathered
and earated. The best time to start
deep blowing is in the fall Of the year
for the subsoil turned up at that time
Of the year will be exposed to the
freezing, thawing and weathering of
the winter, and by spring the plant
food it holds wall have become avail
able to plants. We may, however,
gradually deepen our soils, If we
plough in spring by plonghing one or
two inches deeper each time we till the
field. The small quantity of subsoil
thus brought TO the surface will be
more than counterbalanced by the in
creased water capacity of the seed bed.
Ia conserving the soil moisture the
problem is to create as large a soil res
ervoir as possible, get this we'll filed
with water, and retain the moisture by
surface cultivation. This may be done

There was the system, and there was
the law. For many months James
Beavers had tried to reconcile the two.
In the midst of his debate with his con-
science there began the campaign of
the Men and Religion Forward Move

midst The committee behind this
movement hammered the fearful truths
OF licensed vice into the minds of At
lantans day after day And no man
read and listened with more deep
thought than Beavers chief of police.
For four nights James Beavers had
lain sleepless in his little home in Law
ton street. For four days he had paced
the floor OF his office i'll the station.
Carlos Mason, head of the commission,
was absent from the city. but it is
doubtful whether the chief would have
consulted him in any case Beavers

Chief Beavers said today that in

he would ask that the limit of the law
