ONE SECRET OF DRY FARMING By Conserving Rainfall Farmers En-abled En-abled to Rslse Crop of Wheat Every Other Yesr. When rsln falls It does not actually actual-ly sosk Into the earth, but bore Its' way In, forming tiny tubes. These1 tubes are so small that It would be Impossible to Insert a balr in one of them without bursting Its walls. Sometimes the tubes are bored down to a depth of four or five feet When Cie surfsce dries, tbe water evaporates from the tubes Just as It j would from a pipe. If the tube Is twisted It takes longer for the water to evaporate. If one takes a rake and stirs the ground after each rain. ! be breaks the tops of the tubes, and I tbe water will stand In them for ; months. In this way tb farmers of the west, on the semi arid lands, , store the rainfall on year, and raise ! a crop of wheat every other year ; there being sufficient water In two years, but not enough la one, to raise a crop.
