FARMERS OF GREAT PLAINS
Men Required Who Are Willing to En-
dure Some Hardships-They Must
Become Drought. Resistant.

By GEORGE A. MMURDo. Colorado
Agricultural College, Fort Collins. Colo1
Every system OF agriculture must
develop farmers who will study its
problems and meet its requirements
The Great Plains require farmers who
are willing to endure some hardships,
suffer an occasional crop failure, and
lay by in years of plenty for the years
OF scarcity They must give farming
closer study than other farmers are
required to do. The farmers them.
selves must become droughtresistant
We have the experience of genera
tions from which to profit. The set
Ting of a colony of Russians in the
Great Plains and the planting of the
seed that they brought with them
gave us Americans our first insight
into the possibilities of dry.land agri-
culture. They showed us our oppor.
tunity. Uncle Sam also took a hand
and has been gathering information to
help us. He now has sufficient ma.
terial and data collected to begin to
put the practice OF dry farming on a
scientific basis.
We farmers Of the plains are
anxious to secure for ourselves some
of the comforts that people in other
walks Of life enjoy. II we avail our
selves OF the information that the gov
ernment and state are gathering for
us, IL will not be long until the hard
ships Of the dry lander will give way
to Che pleasures of the scientific farm.
err This is no idle dream. for there
are hundreds who are now living ex-
amples of what can be done. We are
glad that we are located on the plains,
and We are going to work together for
increased production. and added pleas
ures till the rest of the world will envy
us our lot.

A Rlpe Old Ane.

The London Gazette. the most aus.
pers, is celebrating its two hundred
tere and formal of all English nevspa.
and iftieth birthday.
The vast majority of Londoners have
never seen the Gazette, and many live
in ignorance even of the existence Of
such a newspaper. For 1t is the Off.
cial organ of the British government,
and its circulation is limited to official
circles or to those who are willing TO
pay the fixed price of 25 cents a copy.
In the ordinary course of events the
Gazette is published every Tuesday
and Friday, but when occasion arises
special supplements are issued at $
cents each. Since the outbreak OF
the war several of these supplements
have been issued each week, and there
has occasionally been sufficient de-
mand from relatives of those men
toned in the official dispatches to
cause the reprinting of a particular
edition.

GOOD WINDBREAK PAYS WELL.

Windbreaks are usually more m
less ornamental on farm, and add
to the contentment of the owner But
it is not generally known that wind
breaks actually pay dividends. AT
least, studies made a few years agt
in Nebraska and Kansas indicate that
windbreaks are profitable. The statl
forester will soon study their infiu
cnce in this state.
II must be admitted that windbreakJ
occupy space that could be profitably
devoted to agricultural crops, and
that the roots of the trees and their
shade render a strip of ground OF
either side of the windbreak relative.
ly unproductive. Yet in spite of these
drawbacks. efficient windbreaks un.
doubtedly do more good than evil.
The windbreak reduces the velocity
OF the wind. and. therefore. the loss
of soil water from evaporation from
the soil surface and from the field
crops. This is equivalent to addition.
al rainfall, just as "a dollar saved is
dollar made" 1t seems from inves.
legations made by the United States
forest service that the greater yields
OF field crops and apples behind the
protection of a good windbreak are
enough to warrant every farmer in
the prairie states in planting wind
breaks.
