SUCCESS WITH DRY-FARMING
Failures Not Always Due to seanty
Precipitation. but to Lack Of
Scientific Methods.

(By PROF. f. II. WATSON. State Dry.
Farming Expert of Wyoming.)
In view OF the past two years OF
drought and the resultant failure or
partial failure Of crops. some doubt as
to the feasibility Of dry-farming in
Wyoming has been expressed. 1t is
a noteworthy fact that in those states
where dry-farming has been practiced
for period Of 40 years. the past two
years Of scanty precipitation have
been followed by no especially dis
astrous results. The reason for this
ID not that they are more favorably
located than Wyoming. but that they
have reduced their dry-farm methods
to q science. In fact the State Of
Utah. for example. has a lower annual
precipitation than Wyoming. Then.
too. the larger part Of this precipita-
tion comes In the winter. while in
eastern Wyoming rs per cent. OF our
moisture comes when We need 1t most
that is. during the growing season.
The past two years in Utah have
been exceedingly dry. and yet compar.
atively few crop failures have been
reported. To the contrary. yields Of
winter wheat ranging from 20 to 30
ard even 40 bushels to the acre were
very common. This ability to secure
good crops under adverse conditions.
however. has not been acquired with.
out severe losses In the past. In fact.
former droughts were the school.
masters that compelled the dry-farm-
ers of those sections to adopt the very
t. Ah~t
They learned that dry-farming was
safe in regions where the annual pre-
cipitation averaged IL inches. Some
years 1t might be more: some years It
might be less. When moisture came
In excess 1t was stored up for future
1se In time Of drought, and when the
drought came good crops were raised.
They learned. too. that deep soils
were essential to dry-farming and that
the summer fallow and careful cult
walton were vital parts Of the prac-
tice. Thus they have secured a repu-
tation that was worldwide and that
brings each year from other nations
scores Of Investigators who study
their methods Of dry-farming.
During the past summer In Wyo-
ming striking examples OF proper and
improper systems OF tillage were evi.
dent. Small grains on fallow land. or
following corn or potatoes. gave good
yields. while in adjoining fields the
same kind Of crop. disked in on oat or
wheat stubbles. was burning up. In
such cases drought is q severe school.
master, but It will nevertheless bring
to knowledge Of the truth those who
insist upon following methods common
in humid areas.
In the meantime prospects for .
favorable year are encouraging Food
crops will be harvested. The soil will
be worked scientifically and thereby
put into condition to produce even
during unfavorable years. And dry
farming in Wyoming will no longer be
questioned. but will be acknowledged
as q demonstrated fact.
