Live Stock the
Salvation.

The malady of the age in
America is wastefulness. En-
Endowed with a material wealth
unknown in all history, the
American has exploited the nat
ural resources of his country as
no other nation has done. For
a century he has used the most
relentless energy in draining the
soil, the streams, the forest and
the mine. With destructive spirit
he has dug out and robbed,
sawed and burned. He killed
the buffalo for the hide and lett
the meat. He ruined our soil
for the present wheat, and sold
its fertility. He devastateS our
forests and burns the Stunpage.
He raises wheat after wheat or
corn after corn, and burns straw
and stalks, says Kansas Farmer.
We tried to fool ourselves with
the belief that our soil is mex
haust1ble and now we are awak-
ening to the knowledge that 1t
is not, and we must pay for our
foolishness. In our search for a
remedy, we overlook the ole
which nature has placed ready
at hand. Live stock is a neceS-
sary factor in any system of per-
manent agriculture, and we must
establish some permanent system
or fall to the state of the Chinese
Material resources beyond hui
man computation have been the
heritage of the American far
mer and, with these wasted and
with the increasing demands Of
a population which grows faster
than any ever grew, he must
study ways and means. His
land increases in value with the
pressure of population, but moi
in productive power. He pays
more taxes and raises smaller
crops on depleted acres, and he
must have relief.
Live stock brings this relief
It does more. Not only are the
acres enriched, fertility restored
and crops increased by the grow
ing of live stock, but prosperity
is insured, a new interest in life
developed where little was be
fore, the problem of the future
of American agriculture assured
and the farm boy kept on the
farm,

Save Soil Moisture.
E.. Reddy,

The soils of Kansas contain
more moisture now than they
have at this time of the season
for many years. Every farmer
should see that it is kept there
until the growing crop can use
it. This moisture is more valu-
able to the plant than an equal
amount of later rainfall, because
it has already absorbed an album
dance of plant food from the
soil. Practically all the water
that is now in the ground can be
saved by keeping the surface
soil loose or we'll titled until
planting time, says w. M. Jar
dine, agronomist of Kansas Ag-
ricultural College.
Cultivation should begin as
soon as the land can be touched.
This will prevent water escap-
ing from the soil through evap-
Grafton. A two or three-inch
layer of titled soil over the sur
face of a field forms a very eff
fective lid to keep the water in
the ground. The cultivator, the
disk harrow, the spike-tooth har-
row or any other implement the
farmer may have which will
loosen the top soil may be used
and should be started as soon as
the ground is dry enough to be
worked, says Kansas Farmer.
If the ground was fall plowed,
narrowing or possibly early disk
ing will be best. If the ground
is in stubble and is to be planted
with the lister, then 1t should be
disked and narrowed. If the
ground is loose and sandy and
likely to blow, it will be best to
shallow list early and gradually
work the ground down with an
ordinary drag harrow, when the
crop can be surface planted or
Listed in, as the farmer deems
best.
| Some farmers are asking if il
would be wise to roll or harrow
their wheat ground this spring.
1t certainly would, especially il
a crust has formed or if the
ground has cracked or heaved OF
| is very loose.
Rolling or narrowing when
the ground is not wet will not dc
any harm; ten chances to one il
, will do a great deal of good. A
: corrugated roller is to be pre-
, ferred to a smooth rolled. The
spikes of the harrow should be
, tilted backwards a little to avoid
|, pulling up more plants than is
advisable. Do not be afraid tC
harrow the ground thoroughly.
