A leader among the New York IN

DRY FARMING IS NECESSITY
Vast Area Cannot Be Irrigated and
Must Remain UninhabstabIe Unless
Dry Farm Methods Used.

by H WORST. North Dakota A prtc,i
turai Collega)
The fact that nearly half the earth's
surface is visited with less than TWEEN.
y inches of annual precipitation
makes dry farming a necessity. But
fraction Of this vast area is sus-
,eptible Of irrigation under any cir.
,umstances. What cannot be irri-
gated must be cultivated by dry
arming methods or remain uninhabjt-
ible and practically useless, for hui
nan genius cannot remove natural
barriers, such as mountain ranges
which place a limit upon precipita-
ion. 1t can, however, suggest meth
DDS of agriculture that may be adj
listed to local conditions; methods
VI tillage that will prevent the un-
necessary evaporation of soil mois-
ure, together with the breeding of
plants, themselves economic OF mois-
ure.
These factors taken together will
end to make agriculture not only
,uccessful. but profitable with less
is a matter Of faot, the total precipi-
alton during the year is frequently
ar in excess OF the needs of the
growing crops. Moreover. excess OF
moisture is likely to prove as de-
Itructive OF crops as deficiency OF
moisture and far more injurious to
he land. The fact must be admitted
hat the swamps and the sea receive
! tremendous annual toll of plant food
'esulting from the "run-off'' of humid
countries. This loss of fertility.
which is beyond estimate. must be
made good by some means. SO that
between restoring lost fertility and
installing drainage systems, the humid
countries are quite as severely vexed
q the senai-arid countries.

DEEP FLOWING ON DRY FARM
Many Farmers Do Not Realize Posi-
bilItles Of Their Soll-PIant
Food Locked Up.

The majority OF farmers do not re.
alize the full possibilities Of their soil
because they do not unlock by their
process of cultivation the plant food
that Is stored a few inches beneath
The surface OF the earth.
Repeated blowing at approximately
the same level forms a sort of floor
through which the plant roots pass
with difficulty. Beneath this floor is
en- abundance Of the elements which
are necessary for plant life, and un.
less the tiny roots are allowed to
reach down and make use OF this food
It Is OF little avail In increasing the
Yield of the field. The usual practice
Of blowing has another disadvantage
In that 1t does not break up the pores
Of the soil and check the evaporation
Of moisture
The most uptodate methods OF cul.
hvation provide for deep blowing,
says Kimball's Dairy Farmer. Some
manufacturers are making a special.
ty OF machines that turn the soil from
to IL or IA inches deep, bringing up
new and rich loan upon which the
plants may feed. The use of the DOW.
er pillow, which is rapidly increasing,
makes 1t possible to pillow to these
greater depths
