INSURE ROTTING OF MANURE
To Keep Up the Fertility of the Dry
Soils, More Humus-Producng
Crops Must Be Grown.

Many years in the dry region of the
West there is too little rainfall to in
sure thorough rotting of the manure
This of course means that in the drier
years the manured soils will dry out
badly, causing the crops to fire from
drought. If the vegetable matter OF
the manure has been rotted sufficient
ly to produce humus the soil is all the
better able to resist the dry period
To keep up the fertility and drought
resisting quality of our dry soils it is
necessary to grow crops which pro
duce more humus than they consume
The grasses, alfalfa, and sweet clover
are such crops. What barnyard ma
nure is produced can be more profit
ably used IS a top dressing for these
crops This can be accompanied by
a system of crop rotation, in which
grasses, alfalfa or peas alternate. as
pastures or meadows with the cultl
waited crops.

COVER FOR THE STRAWBERRY
From Alternate Thawing and
Freezing and Winter Drought

Covering strawberry plants is al,
ways essential in the semiarid climate
Among the materials suitable for the
purpose are straw slOugh-grass, sOr
ghum, alfalfa, leaves, corn stalks, ma
nure, ETC. The most satisfactory Gov.
er:ng is clean straw and wheat or rye
straw is more satisfactory than Oat
straw. Be sure that it is free from
the seeds of troubles ONE weeds A
rine and clean-kept berry bed is often
made foul by having weed seed plant
ed in 1t from the winter covering
Slough hay makes a very satisfac
tory covering when it may be had. but
as it is rather coarse and is apt to
give trouble it is hardly as desirable
as straw. In many localities where
neither straw nor slough grass may
be obtained in sufficient quantities
sorghum and corn are often used
Protection is ne Med for two pur.
poses The first is to prevent killing
by excessive freezing This is not the
principal one in thiJ country. how.
ever. as espc cial attention is needed
to prevent loss or damage from the
alternate freezing and thawing as well
as the winter drought

MANY BENEFITS OF FLOWING
Strs Surface of Soil Thoroughly ana
Puts 1t in Condition to Catch
Any Rain That Comes.

From tests that have been made
plowing has been better for storing
moisture than disking If heavy rains
Fall the increase in moisture con
tent of plowed land over disked land
is greater. This is to be expect ed.
since the plowing stirs the surface
of the soil more thoroughly, and puts
it in better condition to catch any
rain that comes. The plowing also
will kill all weeds.
The disk does not in all cases do
this. It may be preferable-if soil
does not blow when it is fall plowed
to plow the stubble fields instead of
disking them. This, however. is fire,
quently impracticable. due to the dry
ness of the soil. Listing the soil has
been almost as good as plowing. We
have not, however made many tests
to determine the effect Of listing. g.-Ne-

BEST SOILS FOR DRY FARMS
Sits and Sandy Loans Do Not Blow
Readily and They Absorb and Re-
tain Moisture Well.

tBy ALVIN KEsER. Colorado Agricul-
tural College. Fort Collins. Colo)
The best soil for nonirrigated farm
ing are silts and sandy loans, as
they do not readily blow, they absorb
rainfall readily and retain it we'll.
They do not bake and crack easily.
Heavier soils such as the clays and
adObes are more difficult to work and
require more effort to prepare and
keep them in shape for the retention
and reception of moisture.
No matter what the texture. the soil
must be deep and uniform. A soil
consisting of sandy loan or silt sur
face. over a permeable clay subsol.
is good. but a layer of sand, gravel.
magnesia, gypsum. hardpan or porous
rock in the subsoil. closer than six
feet to the surface, practically makes
the field unfit for this purpose One
foot depth Of soil will rarely store
more than one and One-half or two
inches Of rainfall or water. Six feet
of soil will not store over twelve
inches of rainfall.
A soil which will not store a con-
siderable number of inches of rain
fall will not stand long. dry spells
and these are expected to occur in
nonirrigated regions.

Just so long as Judge Sapp
sits on the bench as the Superior
Judge of Navajo county any eff
fort to suppress boot-legging is
a futile waste of time. Look at
the array of prisoners that have
been brought before him during
the past eight months, and each
one pleading guilty to the charge
preferred, and receiving as a
sentence a fine of $25 or $50.
What does a boot-legger care for
fine of a few dollars, when he
can go right out and continue
selling whisky that costs him
$3.50 a gallon for 81 a quart?
The law provides that on convic-
tion for a violation of the pro-
hibition law the penalty shall be
a fine of not less than $25 nor
more than $500, or a Jail SEN
tence of not less than ten days
nor more than two years, but
Judge Sapp seems to have ten
der regard for the feelings of
the booze peddlers, and he for
gets to impose Jail sentences.
Boot-leggers are always loyal to
their friends, which may account
for the leniency being shown
them by our Superior Judge, who
is more interested in unloading
a worthless library on the tax
payers than he is in protecting
the good name of the county, or
enforcing the laws of the state.
