PASTURES FOR A DRY FARM
One OF Most Difficult Problems ss LIZ
tie Can Be Done for conserys-
tIon Of Moisture.

The growing of pastures on the dry
land farm is one OF its most difficultl
problems. This arises from the fact
that but fittle can be done on these
that will aid In conserving moisture.
But this will not apply to all OF them
equally. This does not mean. how
ever. that II Is not impossible to Inn
prove upon the pastures furnished by
nature unaided In the dry country.
Among the pastures that may be
grown on the arabic farm in dry
areas are winter rye. grains sown for
pasture, bronze grass, sweet clover
and mixture OF alfalfa and sweet
clover. When more experience has
been obtained In growing these, II
VIII be found that much more food
can be grown from a given area than
would be obtained from the same II II
were native pasture.
Prominent among the grasses that
Will be grown In providing pasture is
winter rye. II may be sown should
this be desired as early as June.
When thus sown II will provide much
grazing during the summer. but on
the condition that II is kept down by
grazing. II will thus produce more or
less grazing from within a few weeks
OF the time OF sowing until the advent
OF winter. The amount OF the grazing
furnished will, OF course, be largely
dependent upon the amount OF the
precipitation. The following spring
the rye will furnish much grazing.
This grazing will be two to three
weeks earlier than grazing from any
other source, and II will continue
through May. The ground may then
be summerfallowed shonld this be de-
sired. One fine thing about this graz
ing is. that by the Judicious use OF
the harrow on the grazing. the mois
ture may be conserved much better
than would be possible under other
conditions.
In areas Of scant rainfall there
| comes time when the native grasses
cease to grow. This time is usually
in late July, all OF August and a part
or all OF September. Now something
can be done to meet this condition by
sowing grain to provide pasture. that
is, to provide pasture through the
months named. or at least through a
part OF them. For such grazing spring
grains will probably be the most suit
able, as they will grow more rapidly
at such a season than winter grainfi
These may be sown with the best ao-
vantage In the early season. They
must be kept down by grazing to pre-
vent jointing and this will prolong
the season Of grazing. This kind OF
pasture like rye has also the advan-
tage Of permitting the use Of the
harrow TO aid In the conservation OF
moisture. This pasture may be
plowed up In the fall, and when the
land is thus plowed 1t Is left in good
condition for growing corn the fol
lowing year.

Darrow leaned his head against the

FROM ANOTHER AUTHORITY.

Some time ago there were eight deaths in Los Angeles from the use of Neosalversan, and much publicity was given the situation here, physi- clans abhorred the idea that the use of the remedy was so extremely dan gerous. and assigned reasons of care lessness or misapplication to the ao- ministration of the treatment.
 Dr. w. A. Evans, of Chicago, who is accepted generally as an authority on many subjects. and who keeps Il column in the Chicago Tribune for the benefit of the people, when queried about this remedy says over his signature;
 "Neosalversan is considered an improvement over salversan. MEL THDR IS SAFE. Nothing could be so powerful for good as these prep arations are and be safe.'
 In brief, from the statement of Dr. Evans, the Neosalversan or the Sal versan (and he pronounces them much the same) are remedies to be applied as last resort, and when it is either kill or cure"
 Los Angeles is not the only city where this remedy has been used with fatal results. The thing that features the Los Angeles incident was that eight died in one day in one hospital. There is no telling how many people have been killed with the remedy. Many have been blinded.
 Dr. Evans seems to define the sit uation well when he proclaims that it is unsafe, and that no remedy so powerful can be expected to be used with a degree of safety
 Hot Springs seems to give too little attention to this subject. The phy- sicans, of course, will accept the remedy here, just as they have done elsewhere, but it does seem that al least the truth of the situation might he loudly proclaimed as Dr. Evans has proclaimed it. so the patient might know the "operation is sue cessful" even though the patient dies. And that death is a likelihood in re- suits.
