in the eyes OF many an old-time
farmer who has been accustomed
to regard the signs Of the sky
with anxious solicitude, believing
that only the bounty of Nature
could aid him, and that plenty Of
rain is essential to the growth of
crops.
But science has achieved 1t!
Science has found out a way to
bottle up" rain, or moisture. for
the use of future crops. The bot
tie employed is the soil itself.
The original hint was given by
Nature, as occurs in all such
cases. The application OF thought
rendered the hint fruitful.
II was found that in some
places-in arid regions where but
little rain fell in the course Of the
year--a deep. uniform subsoil ex-
listed in which the moisture was
stored up and protected from
evaporation by a blanket of sur
face soil. Acting upon this ind-
cation, the soil was everywhere.
