SAVE THE RAIN.
Some Things You May Do to Con.
serve 1t.

Some parts of Audrain count,
have at last been blessed with {
nice rain. The thing of import
anee now is to save as much OF
this as possible. OF course it may
rain again soon, but with oul
mast record TO consider it does
moi seem safe to figure very big
ON what is not already received.
A hurried shallow cultivation
Of the corn, just enough toymake
q shallow dust mulch, as soon
oter the rain as the soil will work
well will go far toward conserv-
ing the moisture that has been
stored in the soil,
Where some fall forage crop,
such as New Era cowpeas, millet,
cane or rape, is to be planted,
rerhops the most efficient means
Of conserving the moisture for
these crops where they have not
already been planted will be
through use of the disc harrow.
Some are planning to plant
these crops on oats or wheat stub
bile ad Others are planning to SOW
sore alfalfa in stubblefields. In
either case, if at all possible, the
wheat or oat stubble should be
thoroughly disked just as soon as
possible after this rain. If the
ground is to be plowed and the
plow cannot follow the disc close
w. the use of the spike-toothed
harrow after the disc will prob
ably be the best means to con
serve the moisture.
If at all seasonable rape will
make good forage in GO days,
New Era cowpeas in about the
same time, Whipporwill cowpeas
in about IS days, and cane and
millet in from 60 to so days.
Rape is the best forage crop
of the group, but, Of course, is
not a hay crop, Cowpeas will
serve either purpose, while cane
and millet are more particularly
useful hay crops.
