CD Winter emmer is hardy,
drought-resistant and gives promis-
ing yields on Utah dry lands. The
grain is valuable for stock feed, es-
pecially for hogs.
90 Favorable corn yields have
been obtained in San Juan and
Washington counties, but the sea-
sons are too short for dependable
grain yields in the other counties.
In favored Localities excellent dry
land corn can be produced, but at
present corn does not occupy a reg
ular place as one Of our profitable
dry-land crops.
60 During favorable years po-
tatces give profitable yields. but at
present potatoes are not extensively
grown on the dry-farms Of Utah.
(10) Alfalfa is the leading dry
land forage crop. Dry-land alfalfa
seed production is a promising in
dustry and many farmers report
good profits from alfalfa seed pro-
duction.
(1D Thin seeding has always
been recommended on dry-farms;
however at present 1t appears that
under certain conditions 1t is advis-
able to seed heavier in order to Sc
cure normal stand. Seeding rates
recommended vary, from three to
five pecks per acre winter wheat.
(12) The dates of seeding are
governed largely by climatic and soil
conditions and no set date can be
said to be best for all seasons. Be-
tween Sept. 1 and Oct. l has been
given the best results with winter
wheat.
(13) Shallow seeding on heavy
clay soils is recommended, and deep
er seeding on lighter soils.
(14 A press drill has given the
best results as method Of seeding.
(15) Fallowing is recommended
and generally practiced in Utah each
alternate year where the rainfall is
less than fifteen inches. and once in
three years where the rainfall ran
ges from sixteen to twenty inches.
(1O Seven years results at
Nephi show that shallow blowing is
as effective as deep blowing in stor-
ing moisture and the average yields
are practically identical for plots
plowed five. ten, fifteen and eighteen
inches in the fall.
(17) Seven years. results at
Nephi show that fall and spring
blowing are about equally effective
in storing moisture. and the average
yields are practically identical.

periments apparently alike some
times give different results in var
ious parts of the dry-farm area, but
this is to be expected since the soil
and climatic conditions influencing
these tests are not exactly compar-
able in any two sections. Expert
mentors have been inclined to gen.
eralize too broadly from limited
data.
In thorough study Of dry-farm-
ing and also its sister subject irri-
cation the Utah Experiment has led
the world and has contributed Won
derfully to Utah's agricultural well
fare. But there is much yet to be
done and the station is attacking and
solving the new problems as rapidly
as its resources will permit. The

DIR Y IA RMING
The Scheme of Moisture Conservation That Must Be
Practiced in the Great Basin Region

During the past two decades the
utilization of arid lands has increa-
sed by leaps and bounds, and today
dry-farming is nearly as common as
irrigated or humid farming.
There are two distinct dry-farm
areas in the United States-one
known as the Great Plains Area, oc-
cupies that section of the United
States between the 9Sth meridian
on the east and the Rocky Noun
tainson the west. going north to
Canada and south to the 32nd para
llel of latitude; the other district is
known as the Great Basin Area.
This area embraces the eastern
parts of Washington, Oregon and a
large portion of Idaho. Utah and
Nevada.
The most salient difference be-
tween these two areas is in the
amount and distribution of the pre-
cipitation. The Great Plains Area
has an average OF from sixteen to
twenty inches of precipitation annu-
ally. Of which from nine to twelve
inches falls during the growing sea-
son-April to September. inclusive;
while the Great Basin Area has from
ten to fourteen inches, seven to ten
of which comes during the fall and
winter months, October to March, in

Increased Values of Real Estate

The increase in value of real estate
in modern times is shown by the con-
stantly increasing prices which Uncle
Sam has paid for his purchases. We
purchased the Louisiana territory for2
cents per acre, and lots of America MS
thought they were stung at that. We
paid l3 cents an acre for Florida, with
its orange groves and alligator ranches.
Mexico sold US big tract for 5 cents
an>acre, and later to show that we were
not noggish we paid Soc an acre for a
small tract. Alaska cost &c an acre,
not counting in the polar sea and the
fine,western view. For the Philippines
VIE paid 27c an acre. and Aguinaido,
the Sultan of Sulu and a lot If other
troubles thrown in as premiums. Last
week we purchased some islands in the
West Indies from Denmark-they look
like fly specks on the ordinary map. For
these we paid $283 per acre. Moral-Get
your land now and avoid the rush.
