Where Rain Goes.

One ton Of water to three pounds Of
-four is natures recipe for making
wheat bread. according to figures on
rainfall published by the bureau Of
soils of the department of agricul-
ture.
BY controlling the water supply in
irrigation. accurate measurement is
possible and this estimate is Of the
minimum requirement. Many crops
need five times As much water.
What becomes of all the ateri OF
a ton of water falling on a dozen
square feet of soil during the year,
about one-third sinks through and is
drained off underground. Only a lit
tie runs off the surface IL the field is
well plowed. A little evaporates inn
mediately and the rest is held in the
soil. As the surface dries the mois-
ture in the soil eoaks up by capillary
attraction and evaporates of the sur
face. But by far the greater amount
is drunk by the roots Of plants. drawn
up into the leaves and breathed back
in vast quantities into the atmosphere.
