This could be done if 18 inches of rainfall waa received, wrltea C. W. Hendricks in Orange Judd Farmer. .When there Is but 12 Inches of rainfall you could not expect to get a crop every year; then a biennial crop system Is practiced. There Is still another method, of probably more Importance, which is a combination of the two systems. That would be to have two crops In .three years; three crops In five years, or two crops In one year, one being a catch or cover crop. The last system Is used to furnish humus for the soil. The system used must be suited for the district and must with the amount of be rainfall used. There are three different and distinct types of water: Free, capillary and hygroscopic water. The chief supply of water for dry farming la from the division known as capillary water. Thla capillary water can be conserved The most comby various methods. mon one is by plowing the soil exceedingly deep, thus forming a dust mulch. From this deep dust mulch it requires u heavier dry gale of wind to extract the soil moisture. Then, on the other band, the roughness of the soil will tend to hold the snow and materially add to the amount of rain-fulIn other words, this is a gain of average rainfall. Many other forms are uaed, such as planting small windbreaks from a Thla shrub known as wormwood. tends to break the wind and lodge the snow. Artemisia Is also a promThese ising shrub for this purpose. small windbreaks are planted when the grain is small, and used to break the wind and hold the soil around the roots in order that there Is no exposure to the air. It has been said that many crops are lost by the negligence of the owners in not having The wind Is held these windbreaks. high, and the soil particles, such as small sand, gravel and fine dirt, are carried above the crop, and do not destroy the root system. Almost any of the cultivated crops require from 300 to 600 tons of water for every ton of dry matter produced. Approximately one Inch of rainfall will amount to over 113 tons per acre. A question that Is often asked la: What Implements are used to successfully carry on a system of dry farming? A stirring plow, subsoil plow, subsurface packer, roller, hoe drill or seeder, disk harrow, weeder. harvester and thresher are the most Important. was 1900. accomplished in the of year Although, durum wheat Is now a thoroughly established crop both agriculturally and commercially, Its Introduction has been attended with many difficulties, and, unfortunately, these difficulties have been unwittingly brought about at times by tbe frienda of the wheat. For example, it Is extremely Important to grow durum only where the rainfall Is, on an average, at least below 20 Inches per annum. If the soil is sufficiently retentive of moisture 15 inches Is sufficient for a good crop. Whee the rainfall la greater than 20 inches there Is certain to be a deterioration in tbe quality of the kernel, more so than In other wheats, but because of the great yielding power of this wheal enthusiastic farmers have grown if where it should not be grown a.id have thus Injured the reputation of the wheat. It is, therefore, alsc true that durum wheat should never be irrigated In many cases under experiment durum wheat when Irrigated and grown on lands similar in every other respect to that wheri there was no irrigation has furnished samples of wheat so very different from the other that they could not be Identified by ordinary parties as being the tame a wheat. Also duru.n Is strictly spring wheat under ordinary condl tlona and, therefore, cannot be grown profitably in the south, unless suffi clently far south to be sown In the fall or midwinter without Injury by cold weather. An effort Is now being made by the department to develop a winter variety of durum with already partial success, but from three to five years will probably yet be required to establish such a variety. Durum should be kept constantly free from other kinds of wheat, no more because of injury to the other wheat, however, than because of Injury to the durum. Importers will promptly refuse durum wheat that has any considerable mixture of common wheal There are several varieties of durum but the most common one grown In the United States, and by far the best .
