moisture in the soil is at the bottom
OF their theory and practice Many
thought Of moisture only as direct
rainfall upon their cultivated acres
But there Is a limit TO rainfall under
which no plap OF storage and cutiva.
tlon will avail to produce crops The
season OF 1910 went under the limit
in many OF the newly settled regions
OF Texas. New Mexico, Colorado and
western Kansas and, following year
like 1909 which also was dry, there
was no moisture In reserve in the soil.
Discouragment and disaster fol.
lowed, but the wise heads among the
agricultural pioneers OF the high
plains declined to stay whipped. They
saw a great light and from the dawn.

Ideal union OF dry farming" and irri.
