DRY Farming" Needed Everywhere.

National Crop Improvement ServIcs.i
When we say dry farming" we I'M
mediately begin to think of the west
ern plains where the rainfall is de.
fcient. We all admit that they should
take unusual pains in conserving their
moisture.
Well we ought to be ashamed OF
ourselves in the humid territory.
When comes along year like TINS
we think we are terribly abused and
vet in any Of this territory we have
had more rain than Western Kansas
and Nebraska gets any year.
Therefore, let us take dry farming
methods to ourselves. Because In
some years the rain comes when we
want it, is no excuse for neglectlng
conservation of moisture.
What is this dry farming? Let us
take it up with the clubs and make 1t
an institute subject. Let us get our
best farmers to agree to practice 1t.
There is no drought year in the corn
bet which does not have more moist
IRE than necessary, if conserved, to
raise a crop Of corn.

HORSE LABOR ON FARMS.
National Crop Improvement servIce.l

On the grain farm the heaviest
work for the horses comes in April,
May and in August, September and
October. The rest of the time there
is practically nothing for the horses
to do. But enough horses have to be
kept during the year to take care OF
the work during these busy months.
When averaged up the horse on the
grain farm only works three hours a.
day. These figures were secured in an
investigation by the Minnesota Exper-
iment Station, under the direction of
Thomas Cooper now director of the
North Dakota Experiment Station. In
this same investigation it was found
that when the crops are diversified,
the horse labor is better distributed.
There is less work for the horses in
the seasons that are the busiest on
the all-grain farm, ard there is work
or the horses when there is no work
for the horses on tue all-grain farm.

Those Bosches swore by all their

lection-that you were German by
birth and that your father and mother
were both born in Strasbourg. Well,

National Crop Improvement SeFyiee.I
A farmer in Hubbard Co., MINI /.
planted twenty acres of beans from
which he received 377 bushels, selling
them in the field for S1,185. This is
not the highest record.
The Michigan men and the Colorado
men and, in fact, all states are turning
to beans with a great deal of success.
There are three main principles to
be observed in the control of weeds.
They are: first. preventing the weeds
from going to seed on the farm; sec
ond, preventing the weed seeds being
brought to tie farm, and third, in the
case of perennials, starving out the IN
derground parts by preventing them
from making top growth.

distillation Of whisky and other
spirits for beverage purposes, with
a ban upon their importation, were
agreed upon by substantial major
ity of the committee. General sus-
pension of beverage production by
distillation and use of liquor now in
bonded warehouses probably would
be the effect of the new tax section
if enacted into law. Curtailment of
liquor consumption during the war
and conservation of foodstuffs used
in manufacturing distilled spirits,
Chairman Simmons said, constitut-
ed the dual object of the committee

House rates. Manufacture Of alco-
hol for industrial, mechanical or
