DRY FARMING METHODS IN
TEXAS

CBy h. r.. Cnridgc Of Longylew, Tex)
AS the term is usually understood,
"dry farming" is crop-growing with
limited rainfall. But the methods
which bring success I'm other words,
dry farming methods apply in
greater or lesser degree to farming
under all conditions.
In Il nutshell, the essence of dry
farming Is first to catch and store In
the soil, the rain water which falls
upon the land, and then TO hold it
where 1t will do the most good to
crops The first Is accomplished by
making of the subsoll a reservoir to
hold the rains which otherwise in a
large measure, would run off the land.
This is done by deep plowing and sub
soling.
The second essential Of dry farm
ing is to hold in the ground against
n time when It shall be needed, tho
moisture thus stored in the soil and
subsoil. This is done by surface stir
ring, before and after planting.
As moisture from the soil escapes
into the air by way OF tubes or capil-
laries connecting with the surface,
anything which breaks these up at
the surface has the effect Of prevent
ing the escape into the air OF soil
moisture. For instance when we boys,
young or old, In dry time. roll over
the old logs to get worms for fish
bait we find the worms on the surface
OF the ground because there Is mois-
ture there. The moisture Is there be-
cause II cannot get out. the log oper-
ating as an obstruction to its passage.
by closing the soil tubes at the sur
face. The soil mulch, made by sur
face stirring OF the soil, serves the
same purpose as the old log.
Experimenting to some small ex-
tent with the soil mulch, | have been
greatly surprised Mt how long mois-
ture may be held in the ground by
tho establishment Of such q mulch
upon the surface. Last season, for
instance, ] held an Irish potato crop
in the ground month for better
prices. There was not Il drop Of rain
for two weeks before they were ready
to dig the 10th Of May. And yet there
was moisture enough in the ground to
bring up to good stand, cotton
planted Immediately after digging tho
spuds, u month later. Some of my
neibhbors wondered why / should
cultivate potatoes so long after they
had matured. Fearing rain would
not come In time, ] was merely hold
ing the moisture TO bring up the cot
ton which, by the way. made more
than q half bale per acre.
The same season, l was taking some
strawberry plants. late planted,
through the summer. After the last
rain In the spring. / made with a
hoe. and with my own hands, a bet
ter soil mulch than one could T.
ford to devote to field crops. For
two months they kept green and
fresh. Not wishing them to bloom so
late. even pinched off good many
blooms. But when heavy mid-sum-
