It Is not possible under any conditions to save all tho water that enters the soil, but much or It may bo saved. When the subsoil Is moistened to low depths, the roots will feed deeply save where there Is an excess of water ln tho lower sol). In humid areas the question Is not usually how to retain subsoil mois ture, but how to get rid of tho I years by alternate cropping and alter nate summer-fallowing or the land than by growing on It annual crops or small grains. Such a process of tillage maintains a reserve of mois ture in the soil and this reserve carries a crop through safely In a tlmo of drought that but for Its pres ence might absolutely rail. In order to maintain this reserve or soli moisture, therefore, tho bare- excess, Jn dry areas tho former will! fallow must bo occasionally Intro always be a burning question. Tho subsoil moisture, like the soil mois ture, is drawn upon from two sour ces. One is the needs or tho crops that aro grown. Tho other Is tho In fluences concerned In evaporation. Draughts from the first source can only be partially prevented while grain crops occupy tho soil, Uut it may be regulated by regulating tho number of the croj.i. to be grown and also the kind of tne crops. Those from the second squrce may bo great ly lessened but not entirely prevent ed by the maintenance of the soil mulch even as persistently as this may be practicable.
