crly conducted, It Is uractlcnll uso- ,0 ,)lnnt from JnnMarj. to A.rll or
less. In some sections, the follow s ny; n SOino sections, fnll nlnntlng
necessary to nllow the soil to build
Itself up for further cropping but. Pi
our dry farming section, this Is not
tho primary reason for It. It takes
a Very largo amount of moisture to
grow a crop of small grain not only
because of tlio amount used by the
crop Itself but also becnuso of tho
great amount or evaporation iroin
the soil surfaco of the field. Uy very
careful tests, It hiis been found that
It requires about 1300 pounds of
water to make one pound of wheat
in tho field. Multiply your yield of
wheat In pounds by 1300 and you
have tho amount of moisture that tho
jvheat Itself hss taken from your
field; probably t.hls amount hns evap
orated from tho ground In tho field;
figure this out and you will seo wh.xt
on enormous amount of water Is ro
qutrcd to grow your grain
The reason, then, for our summer
fallow In our dry farming section Is
not (or should not be) to rest the
land but to Increase the molsturo
content for tho soil for tho growing
of tho crop, although tho land a
benefitted by the "rest." If wo had
tho rain, we would not summer fal
low. Our object, then, In preparing
our land for tho fallow should bo to
Increase the water holding capacity
or It and prepare It In time that it
might obtain and hold tho greater
amount of moisture. When we plow
for tho fallow In the lato spring af
ter tho rains have stopped, we simply
ncrate the soil and diminish tho
amount of water In It.
Ao soon as the grain Is cut. the
stubblo land should bo disked .is
deeply ns pocslble This will pulver
ize tho surface, prevent the evapora
tion of any moisture' that may remain
and usually causes a loosening of tho
soil underneath, so that It may be
plowed In from ono month to six
weeks later. If possible, plow tho
land In tho fall; by this mothod, you
not only securo and hold two winter'
rain for your crop but also destroy
many of the Insects which attack
your crop. Including tho wire-worm.
Plqw at least eight Inches deep and
ns much deeper as possible but do
not turn up more wan about threo
Inches of a new soil any ono year.
that Is, If you plowed, tho neld six
inches deep last time, do not plow.
more than nine Inches this time.
Fall plowing should usuclly be left)
rough, not harrowed, till spring In
order that It may catch nil of tho
rrln and snow possible. As soon as
tho drier weather comes In the spring
Jcvel and loosen the surface in or-
der to noia an or ma raoisiuro youi

Fall plowing will pay beat and Im

'Sweet Clover a Valuable Crop.
Sweet clover has so long been co"
sldered a noxious and dangorous
weed that lt Is very hard for the ma
jority of us to even consider lt as
feed and we cannot be blamed for
hesitating when it comes to buying,
the seed and planting It on our farms
The same has been true of farmers in
other sections of the country but It
has been proven to be not only a
good and valuable feed for all live
stock but also a crop that It not hard
to control If we should not wish t
on our farms.
On an Irrigated, farm whore alfalfa
will rmv nml timiluee Eood crODS Of
hay nnd-where",the crop is grown for
bay only, sweet eiover wouiu prove
no more valuable and should not bo
planted. When you have till a land
or for an ptber reason tho alfalfa
does not produce well, tho bwosi
clover will probalily pay you better
thnn hn nlfalfo. does. On dry land
where alfalfa will not grow. swett
clover will make a good crop if tho
chance Is given and I believe will
prove a groat orop for the dry farmer
in 'bin "-tlon.
According to bulletin! and articles
from stations aud men In Kansas,
Oklahoma Itwa. Illinois. Ohio, Ken
tucky and Alabama, sweet clover is
not a weed, is not hard to oztorml-j
nnte, is equal to alfalfa for pasture
will not bloat cattle or sheep, has
practically the same feeding value
as hay or alfalfa, Is better than any
of the common clovers as a green
manure, will grow where other clov
ers and alfalfa fall and prepares the
soil for alfalfa Frequently stork di
not eat It until they become accust
omod to it; they will learn to like it
if fed or pastured on It while it is
joung and tender. If allowed to
grow too large, the stems become
hard aud bitter and tho leaves fall
off. It will grow on low, wet, alkali
or uci'd soils, on hard, compact soils
or cu most poor soils.
I am of the opinion that sweet clo
ver will provo valuable on some of
our Irrigated lands In this section and
nm qulto sure that it wjll prove of
great value on practically all of our
dry farming lands. Where wo want
a good pasture crop similar to al
falfa, Bweet clover will undoubtedly
till the bill, but as with alfalfa, prob
ably a grass pasture for an occasion
al change would pay. Our dry farm
ing sections are badly in need of two
or- more cropa to rotate with their
nmull grains on the land and sweet
clover Is "undoubtedly one of tho
crops that can be profitably raised
The best time for planting this
isrpyr
tins proven good. Am or tlio opinion
that either will Drove successful hero
It requires u solid seed bed, pack the
fond well beforo seeding. There nro
several varieties; get either tho while
blooming or tho yellow biennial. Sow
about twenty pounds per acre,
1 should like very much to got in
touch with those who nro raising or
oxpect to nils sweet clover In order
that wo may co-operato and deter

It is doubtful if thoy do fully

obvious that tlio only thing which

that prohibition dor not prohibit."
