DRY FARMING AND cApILLARITY

MOST people have heard Of dry farming;
i'A but very few know exactly what II is
and how it is possible 90 carry It ON. Yet
it depends upon one Of the most common
principles of physics. Of course all plants
have 10 have moisture about their roots IN
order to live: so even IN dry farming this
has to be- the case. The cxpcdicut ncccs-
sarv then Is % retain near the roots what
ram does fall on the ground one good
rain-if an the water could be kept on hand
would be sufficient to raise crop.
I'm order 10 understand how the water
absorbed by the ground Is retained by the
drv farmer To a great extent, the subject
Of capilaritv will have 10 be studied some
what. II blottcr be placed al one end IN
an inkWcll, wc all know that the INK Will
rise mp into the bottcr by what Is known as
capillary attraction and the finer the holes
in the blottcr the farther will the ink rise;
that is. 10 a certain extent. \ wick in oil
or water will do the same thing. Imagine
such a wick I'm a bottle Of water with the
end lust sticking out Of the neck Of the bot
tie and the other end al the bottom OF the
bottle what will take place; Why, the
top end Immediately becomes very wet,
and the water there is soon cyaporatcd;
but lust as often as it is cvaporatcd some
comes up from the bottom % take It's place
50 finally the whole bottle Of water is lost
by evaporation.
This is exactly what happens in dry
country after rainfall The water at the
surface is cvaporatcd, and the water from
beneath comes up to the surface and Is
cvaporatcd, till finally the ground for sew
cral feet down is as dry as a chip, but firm.
The whole secret Of dry farming Is IN pre-
venting this top evaporation from taking
place. The only way To- 10 it Is either To-
put waterproof layer ON top, which IS
impracticablc because the plants have to
have air also, or else cover the surface with
a dry mulch of such coarscncss that the IN
tcrsticcs or passagcways are too large for
capillary attraction 10 raise the water from
the smaller ones below. OF course thi, latter
method is the one that is followed, and ON
looking at dry farm one would think from
the looks Of the top soil that no rain had ever
fallen bu, ON scraping away the dirt or
mulchi dfcwinchcs ne would find the lower
earth moist and all right. Il. /. Hodgcs
