FARM LANDS
How Thousands Of Acres Can be Made
Productive and Add to the
General Wealth
BY Prof. Lewis A. Merrill, in
The Arrowhead.

The Arrowhead.
Along the line of the Salt Lake
Route there are yet undeveloped many
thousands of acres of choice fertile
land. Much of this land may be re
claimed by dry farming methods,
some Of it by irrigation with water
numped from a depth of from 10 to 10
feet under the surface, and some OF II
nv land susceptible to dry farming
methods, is, as a rule, covered with a
good growth Of sage-brush. 1t is deep
and very uniform to great depths in
chemical and physical properties.
These soils under ordinary conditions
are able to retain in each foot an
amount of water that is approximately
equivalent to 6.75 inches Of rain fall
Then the soils are fertile, and by that
we mean that they contain an abund.
ance Of available plant food which
under the 'fallow" system and by pro-
per cropping may be permanently and
lastingly productive.
However the soil may be ever so
favorable and yet IL precipitation is
insufficient, dry-farming will not sue.
coed. In dry climate like that OF
Utah and Nevada more water is re-
quired in the production Of crops than
in the humid sections Of the Eastern
States. Experiments carefully con-
Quoted show that some $50 pounds of
water are actually required to produce
one pound of dry substance. Thus to
produce single bushel Of wheat, the
chief dry-farm crop, more than fifty
tons Of water are necessary. This
seems a very large amount OF water,
yet when compared with the amount
of water that falls upon our soils, in
the form of snow or rain, It is very
small. For instance, h rain fall of an
inch amounts to over 113 tons per
acre, or more than enough il it could
be used by the plant to produce two
bushels of grain. Twelve inches of
rain fall amount to 1861 tons of water
per acre, or enough to produce %
bushels of grain. Unfortunately, not
all of the water that falls Is available
to the plant and, too, even by the best
known methods of tillage there is al
ways considerable loss of moisture
by teaching and by evaporation.

with only few illusions left anyway,
and most of those are too frightene,
to do more than show their head
around the corner. There's SAINT;

delicious little jiggery thrills as
Prancer, and Vixen and Blitzer-the
