DRY FARM LAND THAT BLOWS
Most Difficult Problem Perhaps Best
Solved by Heavy Listing crosswise
to Prevailing Winds.

Much Of the very best dry farming
land is of such loose nature that It
blows badly. Theoretically, clays hold
more moisture than sands and sandy
loan, but the difficulty Of maintaining
q soil mulch allows SO much escape of
water by evaporation that this charac-
teristic is largely onset.
How to stop blowing has been the
most difficult problem. and is perhaps
best solved by heaving listing cross
wise to the prevailing winds. Here
again theory and fact conflict, for 1t Is
evident that there is more surface ex-
posed for evaporation on listed than
fiat ground and not only that. but the
bottom Of the furrow has no soil mulch
until the burrows crumble somewhat.
The fact, however. that the burrows
catch the drifting SHOWS must be TAX
en- into consideration. and In practice
there will usually be greater mois-
ture content in spring in furrowed
ground than that which is left level,
besides which 1t holds the better the
fine soil which drifts away so easily.
Sand continually breaks down under
cultivation and weatherine, making q
good soil Of 1t If 1t can be be retained.

FOR SAVING MOISTURE
Type Of Soil Should Determine
Depth Of Flowing.
Certain Kinds Of PIows on Market
Which Have Tendency to Thor
oughIy Mix Soil From Bottom
and Top Of Furrow Slice.

rBy ALVIN KEYsER, Colorado Agricul-
tural College.)
The question Of whether land
should be plowed deeply or not is
largely question of the type of soil
with which one has to work. II the
soil is quite sandy, much shallower
blowing will give better results than
IL the soil is a silt loan, a clay loan
or adobe. Deep plowing should De
performed for certain definite pur-
poses: chief among these is making a
deep reservoir to catch the water
that falls. A sandy soil does not need
such treatment because water pene-
trates very sandy soil with very
little difficulty without the deep plow-
ing. Such soil is also sufficiently
and aerated for crop grow
ing purposes. On heavier soils, how
ever, such as the silt loans. clays.
clay loans and adobes, deep blowing
Is of decided advantage. 1t enables
the precipitation obtained to pene-
trate the soil in which humus is
blended AS consequence deep plow-
ing on the heavier soils is always OF
advantage II 1t is done sufficiently
long before the crop is put in to allow
nature through time and rainfall to
properly compact the furrow slice.
Such deep plowing is usually best ac-
complished by gradually increasing
the depth, although there is no great
damage done on ordinary soils by
going down deeply at once.
There are certain types of plows
on the market which have tendency
to thoroughly mix the soil from the
bottom and the top of the furrow
slice. Such plows can be used with
safety to plow as deep as desired and
do 1t at once, observing the precau-
ton given above. VIZ. plowing a con-
siderable period prior to the planting
of crops.
Flowing is best done when the soil
contains a degree of moisture which
is just right to cause it to pulverize
well when thrown out by the plow-
If plowed in this condition deep
plowing works no serious injury on
the soil; in fact, it usually works a
benefit. Deep plowing when the soil
is very dry and lumpy unless fol
lowed by propitious rains. usually
works injury.

INCREASED VALUE OF FARMS
Census Bureau Gives Aggregate In the
Arid and Seml-Arld Regions as
sfo,4es, 100000.

The arid and semi-arid regions make
a remarkable showing In farm values,
according to the census taken last
year.
A bulletin recently issued by the
census bureau shows that the aggre-
gate value of farm land In the sec
tions named is $10.4Ss, 100000. This
enormous value Is all the more re-
markable because Of the contrast with
the $3,249, ,000, 900 indicated by the CEN
sus of 1900.
The value Of farm land In the arid
and semi-arid regions In 1910 was
nearly half that of all the farm land
in the United States ten years before
that year. Whether values of this
kind In other parts Of the country
increased in the same proportion or
not, 1t is evident that they made q
big advance; and from 1t all one may
form an idea of the vast growth in the
country's wealth from this source.
The census report should open the
eyes of people in the east and middle
west to the Importance of that part
of the country which lies west of the
ninety eighth meridian. 1t forms
nearly half the area Of the national
domain outside Alaska and the insular
possessions; and the great increase in
farm land values in ten years sug-
gests the Importance Of the part it
will play in the national development
of the future.
