PRINCIPLES OF DRY FARMING
Subsolilno or Deep Flowing Needed to
Allow Moisture to be Absorbed
and Given Up Later.

The idea OF dry-farming carries with
it usually also the idea of arid or at
least semi-arid climate conditions. Ano
it was in and for such conditions that
the idea of scientific dry-farming was
originated But almost every region
in America has its dry spell Every
summer it can be expected In the Will
annette valley In Oregon. once In
awhile early and sometimes of long
duration. And when either OF these
conditions prevail we hear complaint
of short crops Irrigation has been
talked of and experiments are being
made. If may be questioned whether
irrigation is practical for some parts
of the valley, but it certainly is prac'
teal TO conserve the moisture by seien-
tific 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
few inches deep year after year,

seems to form, preventing the per
collation. of the water to the lower
stratas, where 1t can be drawn uP
and used by the roots Of the plants
when warm weather comes on. The
remedy is subsoiling, or deep blowing
in the fall or also early in the spring,
to 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
capillary. In other words dust
mulch is needed where crops are cul-
tivated, to hold the moisture for use
of the plant roots.
The conditions which DR.. Worst has
described as applying to North Da
kota seems to be much the same as
some of the eastern Oregon and othel
semi-arid sections in the northwest
and the suggestions he has made tt
utilize dry-farming methods apply witt
equal force. But, as already suggested

Bad Teeth Go With Good Brains.

An English scientist has pointed out
that there are signs of a steady de-
generacy in two sets of organs vital to
the we'll being of the human race, and
the fall is most marked among the

coincident with the mental advance of
man, there has been a diminution In

reduced the work of the teeth, and the

To Coin Three and Half-Cent Pieces.

Among the bills recently passed by
congress there is one authorizing the
coinage of three cent pieces and one
half cent pieces. The new half-cent
piece will be similar in size to the pres
ent one cent piece, but will have hole
in the middle to distinguish it from the
more valuable piece. In appearance it
will not be unlike Chinese cent, and
when not needed for the bargain coun-
ter can be strung on ribbon or chain.
The old time three cent piece IS also to
be revived. It is not to be OF silver
like the dime, but of copper and easily
distinguishable. The three cent trolley
car fare is responsible for the three
cent piece.
