AGRICULTURE
Soil Moisture

~. What are the three forms IN
which water exists in the soil?
A. Rain water which has entered the
soil is classified at (a) Free water.
(b) Capillary water, and (c) Hygros-
copic water.
Q. Define the three forms of ground
water.
A. Free water is that which forms in
sufficient quantity to respond to gra-
vitaion. Capillary water is that which
is held in the capillaries or pores of
the soil and does not respond to gra-
Walton but moves always toward the
drier soil. Microscopic water is that
film of water which surrounds the
solid particles of soil, and may be
driven off only by heating to the boil
ing point.
Q. What determines the water-hold-
ing capacity of soil?
A. The amount of water a soil may
contain is determined by the depth of
the soil, its composition, and the size
of the particles of which it is compos-
ed.
Q. How may the water-holding cap
acity be increased?
A. The addition of humus, and deep
fall blowing will increase the water
holding capacity of soil and at the
same time prevent surface washing.
Q. How may humus be added to a
soil?
A. Humus may be added by apply
ing compost and blowing under green
crops.
Q. What are some of the benefits
derived from the use of tile drains?
A. Some of the benefits of drainage
are as follows: 1t deepens the soil
by lowering the water table; it. i'm
proves the texture of the soil; it pre-
vents washing; it permits roots to go
deeper into the soil; it raises the tenn
petature of the soil by removing sur
plus water and admitting air; it per-
mits earlier cultivation in the spring
and after rains; it favors the growth
of the nitrogen fixing bacteria; and
it enables crops to resist drouth bet
ter because the roots go deeper into
the soil.
o. How does rain water escape from
the soil?
A. Water escapes from the soil by
surface run-off, teaching, transpira-
ton, and evaporation.
Q. What is transpiration2
A. Moisture is continually passing
from the roots of growing plants up
through the stem to the leaves and
out into the air. This passage of mois-
ture Is calIad transniration

What the tobacco growers of
Breckenridge county want TO do this
year is to get away from the One

II each trustee in the county will
make an effort next year to hire the
teacher who is near enough to the
school to board at home it will have
the effect of a comfortable addition
to the teachers salaries. Nothing is
gained by going across the county to
hire a teacher while another trustee
comes to your community to hire the
teacher who lives among you. 1t
forces each teacher to pay board and
often excessive rates are charged,
when each could live at home and at
the same time do better work in the
school room.
Do not be too willing to criticise
your school. Perhaps it is just your
the teacher needs in or
der to make a success.
