Show L HOW TO GROW DRY T FARM PRODUCTS r""" 2A Ditcusckm of the Subject by I . t Prof. L. A. Merrill Dry Ll --. Farm Expert' W$ twfiiHtpft .5 W mtmmm J l Along the line of the Salt mt ,, Lake Route there are many set- fl "" - tiers on "enlarged homestead" 1 lands. Many of these men have . I but recently begun their farm- , I i ing operations, arriving too late i to do any fall planting. To these I and to those who have located -I on "dry farming lands tributary I ' to this railroad this bulletin is I .addressed. n .. Selection of Crops I ', The range of crops that can 1 be profitably grown on "dry I lands" is limited. Fall wheat 1 (Turkey Red), fall barley (Utah I winter barley). Winter Jmmer I w nd Corn (dry farm flint), in- I elude the crops that have proved 1 commercially profitable. It is I true in some sections oats, pota- I toes, alfalfa and kafiir corn have I been grown with varying de- I j?rees of success, but the dry .. farmer's main reliance must be upon wheat and barley (fall 1 planted) and upon corn. Rye - M both fall and spring varieties m have been grown in some sec- 1 tions, but experience justifies 1 the belief that where soil and M climatic conditions are favorable 1 to the production of a yield of s from ten to fourteen bush Is of rye, a yield of from 25 to 30 bushels of barley or wheat may be expected under the same, conditions. con-ditions. Fall planted oats (Bos- well winter) have given very satisfactry yield in some instances, in-stances, but so many failures have been reported that we rec-- rec-- omittend-that'thfo croprbe tried only in an experimental way. Potatoes, too, have been grown in a limited area with some measure of success and drv farmers will be justified in growing sufficient of this crop at least for family use. On typical typi-cal dry land where the free soil water is twenty feet or more below the surface alfalfa as a forage crop is not profitable but in some localities may prove to be a good money maker when grown for the seed. Kaffir corn is an excellent dry-farming crop in the Great I Plains area but many failures andlbut few successes have been reported for this crop in the arid - section of the Rocky Mountain regions. It is, however, worthy of trial on limited scale. - Preparation of the Soil. '"'-" In sections where the precipi- i tation does not exceed 12 inches annually, successful dry farming involves the storage or conser- vation of the moisture of two seasons for the production of one crop. The land should be cleared of the native vegitation and plowed to a depth of from eight to ten inches as early in the spring as possible. This land should be immediately disced or harrowed and a mulch. formed to prevent the loss of any moisture moist-ure that may be present. Particular Par-ticular attention should be paid to prevent the formation of a ; "crusf'or growth of vegitation I during the season. At least four- , ' y" . teen to fifteen months should )' . elapse between the time of first ' , plowing and seeding if profitable and satisfying yields are expected. ex-pected. Several cultivations of the soil will be necessary during this interim, and especially following fol-lowing rain storms. We advise very strongly and emphatically (Continued on page 7) I 4 r There is a saying that "rapid eating is slow suicide." If you have formed the habit of eating too rapidly you are most likely suffering from indigestion or constipation, which will result eventually in serious illness unless un-less corrected. Digestion begins in the mouth. Food should be thoroughly masticaned and in-sal in-sal ivated. Then when you have a fullness of the stomach or feel dull and stupid after eating, take one of Chamberlain's Tablets. Tab-lets. Many severe cases of stomach trouble and constipation have been cured by the use of these tablets. They are easy to take and most agreeable in effect. Sold by All Dealers. DR. F.
