RAISES MANY HOGS.
About s3,o0o,o0o Worth of Pork Sold
BY Farmers of ~. Dakota.

North Dakota is answering the
question OF how to diversity farming
by selling s3,000,000 worth of hogs in
the face OF cholera epidemic that
destroyed at least half million dol
lars, worth more. The sales to st.
Paul alone reached $4,000 as against
$4,000 sold in 1912 In addition to
these there were shipments to other
points and the large number killed
and consumed in this state.
Prizes Prove Incentive.
The increase is due to the prizes
offered for corn and hog raising by
the bankers of the state through the
Better Farming association.
The cholera epidemic appears to
have spent it's force and those who
lost during the past fall are prepar-
ing to re-engage in the business un-
der more sanitary and improved
methods

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 It!
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 i'm which the moisture was
stored up and protected from
evaporation by a blanket of sur
face soil. Acting upon this indi-
cation, the soil was everywhere,
Atlanta Georgian. [volume] (Atlanta, Ga.) 1912-1939, 1914-01-31

where crops were desired, plow-
ed and narrowed until very
deep uniform subsoil was pro-
duced protected by d superficial
blanket
BY this method it has been
found possible to bottle up in the
deep under soil the scattered
rainfall for three or four years.
In the second year crop Of
wheat can be produced from the
first years rainfall; in the third
year one from the second years
rain. in the fourth year crop
from the third years rain. and
so on. The culttva tors are thus
rendered independent of the vaga.-
ries of the rainfall Some is bound
to come in the course of every
year, and even though it amounts
10 only twenty inches for the en-
tire twelve months, by the system
of bottling up in the soil it can be
rendered available when wanted.
Or. Macdonald OF the South
African Union Department of Ag-
riculture, says: we in South
Africa have grown rainless
wheat. We have grown wheat
without a single drop OF rain fall
ing upon it from seed time until
harvest"
