HARM DONE BY OVERSEEING
Great many D%ry.Farming Failures MAY
Be Attributed to Praetiee-Rate
Of Planting.

By JAMES u. MARSHALL, Colorado
Experiment Station)
One OF the most important prob
lens associated with dry farming is
the determination OF the rate Of
seeding per acre. A great many
failures in dry farming may be at.
tributed to ~overseedlng. The one
limiting factor OF crop production on
dry lands is moisture. and II is large
" because OF its deficiency that care
must be exercised In the rate OF plant
ing. Each plant in the soil takes
out large quantities Of water which
are evaporated into the air through
the leaves, consequently when a thick
stand Is obtained exceptionally large
amounts OF water are drawn from
the soil. A thick, luxuriant stand in
the spring or early summer Is no In.
dication OF a good harvest. as the
probabilities are that such a heavy
stand will deplete the soil Of moisture
and prevent complete maturity Of the
crop, while a thin stand would be
able TO withstand the dry periods and
Yield fairly well when harvested Thin
planting does not Of necessity mean
a thin stand. Whenever the moisture
conditions are favorable the plants will
stool or branch out and make a stand
that viii warrant a satisfactory yield
and at the same time be heavy enough
to shade the ground and reduce the
losses from excessive evaporation.
When plants are crowded very little,
II any, stooling occurs and the plant
10 unable to adapt itself to its imme-
date conditions. AS a general rule
the rate OF planting for dry lands Is
Just a trlhe more than half Of what
would be used on irrigated lands.

"CoUNT" TOO ABSENT MINDED
Principal Reason Why One lnterna'
tlonaI Marriage Was Permanent
ly Called OF.

Henry P. Dawson Of the Morgan
banking firm was talking about inter
national marriages:
well" he said, II know Of n In
ternational marriage that failed,
thank goodness, to come on. The girl
was the daughter Of a Paint Rock
millionaire. The man was q count, a
Spanish count.
THE count was absent minded.
That was his ~undoing. The girls
father gave a dinner for him In the
Paint Rock castle overlooking Paint
Rock, and at the dinners end the
count got up to light a cigarette, and
then. by jove, started to remove the
plates.
THE. guests watched him In an
Open-mouthed silence. His napkin
slung over his arm, he had got nearly
all tho plates removed when his NIL
lionaire host said 10 him gently;
awake up, George. You're not
waiting In the beanery now, you
know. You're pretending you're a
count in Paint Rock. Wake up, man
for gracious sakei'"

MAKE PASTURES A FEATURE
Variety Of Grasses should pc Selected
to Conform 70 Soil Condition.
Use q Little Thought.

We often hear people say that they
believe dairying might do pretty well
IN certain noighborhoods II they only
had pastures. The idea these people
intend to convey ia generally that all
the land Is cropped and that there IS
no low land too wet or high land too
rough to crop. In other words, these
good people do not know what a PAS
ture Is. They have misinterpreted the
Lords Intentions when he made land
too bnggy or too billy for cultivation.
An ideal pasture should contain q
number Of grasses and ciovers 80 that
IN rs turn some one Of those grasses
or clovers 10 coming to hs best each
week during the pasture season, writes
Ben r. Eidridge in Utah Farmer. The
variety of grasses planted In a pasture
should also be selected so that II thera
IL a variety OF soils or Of soil condi'
lions in the pasture there will be some
variety Of grass especially adapted 70
each variety or condition Of the soil.
Some grasses, for instance, provide
excellent feed In the spring. They lie
dormant in the warmer weather OF
summer and make another very excel
lent growth In the fall, and these
grasses are excellent in their way, but
should be planted with other varieties
that are bought resistant and grow
fairly well during midsummer.
Some grasses do well on we'll
drained soil others require low land,
where the soil is continually damp and
where the surface water Is at a shall
low depth below the ground level. Lay
Ing on permanent pastures the ground
should be built up; that is, well ferti-
lized. laid of II It Is to be irrigated so
that the greatest amount Of good a
be gained when water is applied.
Then, II a proper variety of grasses Is
selected, a sod can be produced that
will stand a wonderful amount OF
tramplng and for many years furnish
feed for several animals to the acre
during four to 1--WE months OF the year.
That is what a pasture really is. Our
swamp lands and our rocky hlllsides
r misnamed. when we call them
pastures"
I Nuu AniAh II = uiuIn " NhN NANAAe
Of some Of Us who call places pastures
that have been used for forty years
and never known the planting Of a
single seed from the hand Of the own

lures II we only use a little thought
and make them.
A. few acres Of good, well-made pas

the name of pasture" There are
many places where there is a fall

places cannot be immensely improved
by reinforcing the native grasses by
a few seasonable seedlings of domestic
