TREES STOP SOIL DRIFTING
One of Perpiexing Problems Of North.
western Farming Solved by Can
adam Experiments Station.


Drifting of the soil is one of the
big problems in northwestern farm
ing. The trouble increases as the
rainfall decreases. At the Canadian
experiment station at Indian Head
Sask, this problem of drifting has
oeen solved by planting trees. When
the station was started twenty-five
years ago 1t was part of bonanza
wheat farm on level prairie Now
1t has the appearance from a distance
Of being a woods. A belt of trees two
Or three rods wide has been planted
around the farm, and between the
iields-which are forty to sixty acres
"a double row of trees has been
planted.
This breaks the force of the wind sc
that the soil does not drift. This
makes it possible to work the LAND
to the best advantage. The rainfall
here averages eleven and a half inchet
so that summer fallow has to be intro
duced frequently. and In order tc
make this the most effective it needs
to be cultivated so as to keep down
weeds. This can now be done on this
farm without any trouble of drifting
Before the trees were planted this
could not be done,

TO CONSERVE THE MOISTURE
Inches VIII Accomplish Job to

cultivation to depth of two or three
inches will accomplish this to a great
extent On all cultivated crops, such
as corn, potatoes, beans and yegeta.

CROPS FOR WESTERN PLAINS
Plants Must Be Bred
In Regions Where They Are
Intended to Grow.

tBy A. n TEN EyCK. Kansas Agriculture
Coilege.l
Up to the present time very little
has been done IN the way OF breed
ing drouth-resistant crops. The ma
tive grasses OF the west thrive there
by natures breeding and selection
and not by the hand OF man. Nearly
all of the other crops, and even the
varieties of each which are grown sue
cessfully in the west, have been In
troduced from other lands which have
climate similar to that OF the west
ern plains. These crops are either
native to the country from which
they came or they are varieties Of
crops which have been developed In
the older civilizations OF the world,
where man by persistently growing
crop and planting seed year after
year for decades and even centuries
has at last through natural selec
ton produced varieties better adapted
to resist the adverse conditions than
the original variety from which the
strain sprang. Such are the durum
wheat, kherson oat. broom-corn mil
let, and the different kinds of sor
ghum. By this same natural selec-
ton certain varieties of crops grown
In the west today are becoming grad
ually better adapted to the climatic
and soil conditions In which they
must grow There is no doubt that
by careful breeding and selection Of
seed natural selection may be hast
ened, by which plants and crops may
become more hardy and productive.
rhe farmer may make some improve
provement In crops by seed grading
and selection, but crop breeding real
ly belongs to the experiment station
and the specialist, since great i'm
provement in crops can only be Sc
cured by practicing careful, systemat-
lie breeding methods for number OF
years.
Drouth-resistant crops must be
bred in the regions where they are
Intended to grow. They cannot be
bred at the experiment stations To-
Gated In humid climates. This is one
reason why SO little has been done
along this line. We have had expert
ment stations in the mountain states
located In arid and semi-arid regions,
but until recently these stations have
only experimental with crops under
irrigation.
