WATER CONSUMED BY CROPS
Farmer Must Spare No Pains to Pre-.
serve Protective Dry Soil Gov.
enins--Drink Bill 10 Big.

The drink bill for the crops is Inn
mense. 1t takes 10000 pounds Of wa.
ter to grow a bushel of wheat. No
matter how rich your soil may be you
can grow only as many bushels OF
wheat as will be represented by the
pounds of available water in the soil
divided by 10000 says the Farm Mag
a1ine. An inch of rainfall weighs
$4,000 pounds per acre.
Does that mean that we can grow
bushels per acre for every inch OF
rainfall at the rate Of Get .000x90, 900
or about two and half bushels? BY
NO means. No matter how well we
til. the land a lot OF water will get
away. The warm winds of summer
steal it by the ton every day. Here's
the lesson as given b. the professors
OF the Wisconsin Experiment Station
If dry farming IS to succeed, the
farm must be located In a section
having rainfall Of ten inches OF
more, and with the least possible wind
movement. The soil should not CON
tain layers of gravel or hardpan, but
must be uniform In texture to depth
OF eight feet. Throughout the entire

DYNAMlTING DRY FARM SOILS
Some Tremendous YIELDS Have Been
Obtained my Using This Method
Instead of Flowing.

Some have used this method for
crops instead of blowing and some ire
mendous yields have been obtained on
small plats; but we have had no
chance of comparing the cost with the
results on large acreage, says the
Ranch and Ranger Dynamiting holes
for trees, however. is becoming COM
RON and the expense is half a stick OF
dynamite, one cap and about two feet
of fuse for each tree
A hole is bored with the soil auger
about two feet or 80 inches Yhere the
tree is to go; the half stick of dyna-
mite is inserted with cap and fuse at
tached and then the dirt is replaced
in the hole around the tree. tamping
with stick as it is flied In.
After the explosion two or three
swings of the shovel will clear the
hole ready to set the tree. The SUBJ
soil will be found shattered to some
extent in the neighhorhood of the hole
and this is supposed to be beneficial
in allowing the roots to penetrate a
hardpan.
Until some one plants some trees in
dynamited holes and some others in
ordinary holes alongside of them, II
will be impossible to come to any def
mite conclusion as to the advantage, Ii
any. derived from dynamiting.
We know that deep blowing is the
best way out in dry farming; for the
same reason dynamiting ought to be
good. We also know from our oYn ex
perience in the dry farm orchard thai
the roots win go throu.ca any soil hard
pan. provided il is moist, and it is al
ways moist in the well cultivated or
chard where the trees are not too close
together.

SUGAR BEET CROP
WILL Be LARGE

Interesting facts and figures show
ing the remarkable increase in the
beet sugar industry of the state
were yesterday given by Prof. C.
S. Knight head of the agricultural
department CT the state university
who has been engaged for the past
two years teaching the farmers in
the vicinity of Fallon and other beet
sugar districts, the proper methods
of cultivation, says the State Jour
nal. 4
Prof. Knight stated that the acre
age devoted to beets this year at
Fallon, Dayton. Wadswoith, Love
lock and elsewhere in the state
would probably exceed that of last
year by at least two-thirds and that
the production had been brought to
a much higher standard.
| He places the production at about
$4,000 tons of beets and looks for
approximately $4,000 sacks of sugar,
which will be marketed in Nevada
and California.
Il have figured the average yield
per acre this year at about II tons
said Prof. knight, although | know
If several tracts of % acres and more
where the yield per acre goes as
Ugh as 25 and 80 tons.
"The farmer will get about Sc a
tn, giving an average return of
s102 to the acre, while it has cost
him from $35 to $50 per acre to pro-
duce the beets.
The yield this year. will keep the
Fallon factory busy for sometime and
they will probably make money on
| the years operations. Whether or
not their profits will make up for
the losses CT the past two years re-
mains to be seen, but it now looks
as though the industry has reached
a stage that insures its future growth
and permanency."
| Prof Knight was employed by
the Fal.on sugar interests for the
purpose OF giving the farmers first
hand information on the proper cul
ture of beets and his labors are
generally admitted to have been
crowned with great success. He con.
siders that the work is now safely
on its way and has returned to the
university to take up further inves.
tigation CT scien'if ic farming prob
lens and the teaching of the future
husbandmen of the state.

PIONEER LIFE is NOT EASY
Rosss-Homestead handi-
capped by Small Capital.

All over the western frontier there
are vest sections of land being de-
velored by people OF small means;
men OF courage and loyal-hearted
women who have turned their backs
on the old home In the east and
wended their way out into the great
west, there to take up homestead
and build home of their own.
These are the people that most need
the support of the government, for
few of them have any capital and must
depend upon their labor.
Frontier life is hard at best, and II
takes a great amount of courage and
persistent effort to get start in life
under the conditions as found there.
There are many things to contend
with that people in the east know
nothing of-horse end cattle thieves,
coyotes. hawks. ground squirrels and
many other annoyances.
A man must be genius and q
hustler, too. for II he succeeds as q
pioneer he must know how to break
horses to work and to ride, rope q
steer or horse, put on horseshoe
build house or barn, even.
The homesteader is at great dis
advantage In having little or no CAPT
tai and nothing for security to borrow
money on.
A good team, strong harness anc
wagon are necessary because the
roads are rough; his fence must h
good. or the range stock will ruin his
crop, and the good wife must stay a
home or the coyotes and hawks vii
catch her chickens She must teach
her own children. as 1t Is too far fol
them to go to school.
She must be able to ride horse
milk COW, feed the pigs and do the
chores, for often the husband has t.
go away from home TO work In ordel
to make living and improve hi
claim.
Such is life on the far western from
tier.-H. f. b., Montana.
