tubes aro arc destroyed and the water remains below to feed the plants thus it happens that in a very dry spell the farmer who breaks breads up his land by cultivation from time to time though no rain falls gets a far larger crop than his neighbor who does not have the wisdom to pursue a like measure you can test the thing for yourself very easily take a dry clod of earth and dip a portion of it into water almost immediately you will observe the moisture renders the whole num mass wet but it ic will take some time for water thrown upon a layer of dry earth dust to make its way through jewish
