Methods Free From
Mystery ana May BE Used With
Profit in ANY Climate

Every civilized country in the world
IS now studying the tillage and crop
ping methods taught by the Interna-
tional Dry Farming congress. Its
monthly bulletins and reports go to
every corner Of the earth.
Dry Farming Is a scientific term
used by colleges and authors to dif-
ferentiate between the new system OF
agriculture and the older methods
utilized in the rainbelts and irrigation
districts A special system of tillage
Of the soil for the purpose OF moisture
and fertility conservation is known to
be necessary for at least 63 per cent
of the agricultural acreage of the
world, and the dry-farmlng congress
was brought into existence for the
purpose of working out these prob
lens and remedies for the troubles
confronting farmers Of the sub humid
districts, or in districts where there
are frequent droughts or failing soils.
Dry-farming is free from mystery Of
any kind: any farmer on any soil and
in any climate can increase his acre
age production. crop quality and bank
account
Dry-farming methods can be utll-
lied with profit upon every acre, in
every district Of the world. The phrase
does not mean the operation OF farms
where no moisture is obtainable, but
does mean the utilization of such
! tillage methods as are, from time 70
time, demonstrated to the most eff
cient in the reduction of evaporation
and the production Of a practical
storage reservoir in the soil, the utll-
ization Of minimum or untmely mois-
ture, etc. The work of the congress
includes the study of farm machinery.

A Miracle in Tillage.

A practical and successful SOUTH
western man recently made this state
ment TO the Interstate Farmer;
Il had field of ordinary upland
soil, and undertook TO dry pillow. |
quit trying and got out the disc.
dsccd the surface Of that field but
of course could not go deep. Two
weeks later | went in with the rloW
and found that | could do pretty
good job of plowing, though there
had not been a drop of rain in the
meantime
The statement was questioned, but
it was a fact:
When the first attempt to ploW was
made, the soil had dried out o. ac-
count Of the numerous cracks made
by the effect of the sun ana theswind,
These cracks quickly extend as deep
as the soil had been plowcd. After
they are formed, the moisture is per
mtted to escape through them and Is
carried away in the atmosphere. So
while there may be plenty of mois-
ture in the sub-soil the top soil be-
comes so hard that a plow Will not
work. This was the condition When
our friend went in with his disc. By
pu,verizing the top two or three
inches, he stopped the cracks and
pores and prevented the further es-
cape of the rising moisture. But the
moisture continued to rise, through
the lower sections of the cracks and
by capillary action. Being prevented
from escaping into the atmosphere, II
collected in the soil just under the
.pulverzed surface, and soon softened
it so that it could be plowed.
This lesson is one of the most valu-
able that can be learned in soil rll-
age. 1t is a theory that works out
perfectly in practice. OF course, there
must be moisture in the sub-soil; 9th
erwise, though the tops Of the
"chimneys' or cracks may be Closed
the dlscng will not avail much, for
there will be no moisture to rise, and
consequently none to stop. This IL
lustrates the very reason why stubble
land should be disced Immediately be
hind the binder, as the sun ana wind
quickly open up the cracks and re
lease the moisture in the top soil, and
then that in the sub-soil unless this Is
done.

There are few farms on which ad-
ditiOnal labor expended In preparing
the seed bed would not yield hand
some returns. 1t costs about Is cents
per acre to harrow land and about
S5 cents per acre to disc land For
one dollar land can be double disCed
and narrowed twice, One bushel Of
wheat or barley, two bushels of corn,
or one-half bushel of flax, increase
per acre will pay for this extra Labor.
The County Expert System
The employment Of county experts
or advisers, who shall carry the mas
sage of the agricultural college to the
farm, IS becoming more and more
public issue In every state In the
union, and il is believed by many
that the time Is not far distant when
every county IN America will have Its
paid demonstrator as an aid to bet
ter farming. Millions of pages OF ag-
ricultural information have been dis
tributed in the form of bulletins and
farm papers, but none Of them can
ever quite take the place Of the man
who knows and who will answer your
questions as to your local problems.
Such a man cannot know all about
farming, but he can and should make
II his business to find out Just what
YOU want to know about any problem
on your farm.
A wide-awake man will pich up
IDEAS on almost every farm he Vslts
that should be carried to every other
farm in the county. If the local
farmer has not yet solved some vex-
| ing problem, and the demonstrator
does not know about II, the latter can
easily write to the college Of agricul-
ture or to the United States depart
ment of agriculture, which has thou
sands Of experts, and get the best
| knowledge which they have. The
county agent cannot know where to
find any agriculture Information In
existence. how to tell 1t simply and
with effect, and how to organize the
farmers In his territory along any line
of local need, whether II be for mar
keting or for other economic or social
purposes.
The usual distribution Of the cost
of such a county expert Is between the
county concerned and the United
states government, the latter paying
n certain per cent OF the expense for
the privilege of selecting the man
who shall serve as Demonstration

Much has been written relative 20 tho

Early in the morning Of the first
day of the "green corn dance tho
chief Of the Senecas would lead o
white dog around the dancing ring

of the burning weed would act as

solemn words from earth to Heaven
that if their solemn talk to the Great
Spirit was thus presented al the
throne of the Great Eternal II
would make "A more lasting impress
sion, and thus secure the blessings
of God upon their nation and the
memory of Him indeliby stamped
upon the minds Of their race.
The burning of the incense was fol-
lowed by dance and general good
time until late in the evening, whep
the dog, which had been an 'on.

the fun attention of the dancers. The
Indians all assembeed in the "house
