WAS VERY MUCH IN EARNEST
Woman's Desire for Liberation From
Wrecked Train Accompanied by
Terrible Threat.

A fast limited" was bowling over
the sands OF Arizona. Just how 1t
happened was frequently explained,
and never understood, but as the train
sped along the side of parched river
1t suddenly left the rails, rolled down
the bank and landed in three feet OF
muddy water at the bottom Of the
river bed
Within the cars there was some
natural confusion. Men, women and
lunch boxes were thrown into heap,
and not an umbrella or a parcel was
left in the racks.
One by one the occupants of the
rear car extricated themselves from
the mass and sought for means OF es-
cape, while stanching various wounds
caused by broken glass. Every exit
was damned tight. Just then, in the
midst of the doubt and confusion, rose
a woman's voice In emphatic demand:

MEANING OF "DRY FARMING"
Merely Our Old Friend, Cultivation t.
Conserve Moisture In Soil-Ten
Good Commandments.

DRY farming" Is merely our old
to conserve the
moisture In the soil. 1t is form OF
agriculture recommended in dry dis
tricts where irrigation is not possible,
says a writer In Farmers Review. The
following ten commandments have
been drafted for the guidance of those
who cultivate:
1. Thou shalt pillow deep. Deep
blowing. let's rain get into soil easily
without run-off
2. Thou shalt keep the surface soil
loose. A loose surface keeps soil mois-
ture from evaporating.
3. Thou shalt cultivate level. Level
soil has the least soil exposed to the
air; level soil takes in rainfall much
faster than ridged soil.
4. Thou shalt summer fallow when
rainfall is less than Is inches. Sum.
mer following saves up two years
rain for one crop and kills weeds and
plant diseases.
s. Thou shalt add organic matter to
the SOIL Organic matter holds mois.
ture and plant food.
6. Thou shalt keep down the weeds
T. Thou shalt grow early-maturing
crops, because growing conditions are
best In early summer and winter
grains are better than spring grains
8. Thou shalt grow corn every three
to five years. Its cultivation saves
moisture and kills weeds and plant
diseases.
8. Thou shalt grow clover or al
falfa every few years. Glover and
alfalfa add fertility and organic mat
ter to the SOIL
10. Thou shalt keep stock. The
most profitable way OF marketing
crops is through stock.

DEEP BREAKING IN THE FALL
Unless Opened Up Considerably
Deeper Than Flowing.

The average soil will not take In
much of the winter and early spring
rains unless 1t Is opened up con-
siderably deeper than the average
depth of blowing. When practicable
deep breaking should be done in the
fall and should have a cover crop on
1t. When this cannot be done then
breaking, under proper precautions,
will prove advantageous. Much mois.
ture is lost in the spring because Of
improper procedure. Ii instead of
breaking as much land each day as he
can. the farmer would run over his
whole cultlvatable area with a disk
or other good harrow, the mulch pro-
duced by it would retain moisture
SO that it could be broken at almost
~ time later, and even after the
unbroken soil has become dry
through evaporation, the good har-
rowing will produce mulch that will
in a few days catch enough water
from the subsoil to soften the ground
for good breaking. Also. in spring
breaking, the lard should be har-
rowed the same day 1t is broken.
Otherwise much moisr2Ss may be lost
through evaporation.
