EXCESSIVE BLOWING OF SOIL
Subject OF Vital Importance to Many
Farmers-Moving Dirt Acts Much
Like an Anger In Action.

1t is only where there is excessive
blowing of the soil that damage oc-
ours, 1t is a well-known fact that If
one can prevent the soil from start
ing on the windward side, the prob
lem has been solved. When once the
wind begins to move the soil from the
windward side of the field, the moving
dirt acts much like an auger, working
and twisting, loosening and tightening
the soil In front of it. until the wind
sweeps freely through or across the
field, taking the loosened soil and
leaving the exposed roots to wither
and die.
The movement of soil is natural.
Both wind and water serve as vehicles
'or the continual carrying of dirt from
lace to place. 1t would be quite i'm
,ossible to prevent absolutely the
movement of soils, but it is by no
means an impossibility to prevent dan.
gerous movement.

SOIL MULCH OF IMPORTANCE
Success Depends Upon Degree to
Which He Prevents Waste.

So vitality important is permanent
soil mulch for the conservation for
plant use of the water stored in the
soil that many attempts have been
made to devise means for the effective
cultivation of land on which small
grains and grasses are growing. In
many places plants have been grown
in rows so far apart that man with
hoe could pass between them. SEQ.
field has described this method as
practiced successfully in Tunis Camp
bell and others in America have pro-
posed that drill hole be closed every
three feet to form path wide enough
large springtooth cultivator with
teeth so spaced as to strike between
the rows of wheat. 1t Is yet doubtful
whether, under average conditions,
such careful cultivation. at least of
grain crops, is justified by the returns.
Under conditions of high aridity or
where the store of soil moisture is low,
lch treatment frequently stands be-
tween crop success and failure, and it
Is not unlikely that methods will be de-
vised which will permit of the cheap
and rapid cultivation between the rows
of growing wheat. Meanwhile, the
dry farmer must always remember
that the margin under which he works
is small. and that his success depends
upon the degree to which he prevents
small wastes.
The conservation of soil-moisture
depends upon the vigorous, unremit.
ting, continuous stirring of the topsoil.
Cultivation! cultivation! and more cul-
tivation! must be the war cry of the
dry farmer who battles against the
water thieves of an arid climate.

A unique bridge spans the Tigris at
Mosul for which a parallel cannot

is built partly Of masonry, partly of
wood, and for some distance is of the
pontoon type. First comes a 100-foot
stretch Of masonry pier, then bridge
of boats 400 feet long and crossing the
main channel; then comes another
stone pier of $50 feet, leading to an
S00-foot stretch of brick arches, fol-
