It consists of crop rotation, tilling in such manner as to make use of all available moisture, and raising drouth-resist ing plants. Dry farming is usually practiced where the annual rainfall is less than 20 inches, a condition which makes special methods of moisture conservation necessary. Ir rigation, or the artificial applica tion of water to the land, is not part of dry farming. The United States department of agriculture says: “Dry farming has probably been practiced ever since the dawn of civilization in semi-arid regions of every continent in the world. Mod ern dry farming is simply applying modern scientific methods and im plements to the ancient problem of coercing nature into producing large quantities of plants suitable for hu man food in semi-arid regions where under natural conditions only rela tively small quantities of plants suit able for the lower animals are pro duced. Conservation of the scanty rainfall for producing crops is the object sought. Crop rotation, tillage methods, and the adaptation of crop plants to semi-arid conditions, are the means employed.” Blessed by Sneezing “ God bless you!” ejaculates mother when her little girl or boy sneezes. She vaguely feels that by saying this she will ward off ill- health from her loved one. This is one of the oldest and most wide spread superstitions, reaching back to the belief held by savages that just as the soul can enter and leave the body at will, so can good and evil spirits, says Tit-Bits Magazine. To them a sneeze was a token of good fortune, for was not some evil spirit being forcibly ejected from the sneezer’s body? When a Zulu sneezes he says, “Now I am blessed.” Similarly in some civilized countries it is considered a good omen for a sick child to sneeze. Dur ing a great plague in ancient Ath ens violent sneezing was a mortal symptom, hence both Greeks and Romans used to appeal to the gods to counteract the evil omen, ex claiming “Jove preserve thee” or "Absit omen.” How Cigarette Got Name How did the words cigar and cig arette get into the language? It seems to be another old Spanish custom. When tobacco was still a novelty the acme of hospitality was for a host to offer guests small rolls of home-grown tobacco for smoking, usually with the explanation “ Es de mi cigarral” (it is from my gar den). The word “cigarral" means an orchard or fruit garden. Strang ers to the Spanish language came to regard the word ‘'cigarral" as describing the gift rather than its place of origin. The word was soon shortened to "cigarro," and finally to the English “cigar.” The word cigarette means, literally, a small eg a r.

Why It Is Superstition Mountain The name Superstition mountain is given to a mountain east of Phoe nix, Ariz., because of the Indian leg ends surrounding it, notes a writer in the Detroit News. One of these stories relates to a great flood, sim ilar to that given in the Bible ac count. The Dutchman's mine there was formerly owned by a Spanish rancher in Sonora. Jacob Walz, known as "Snowbeard the Dutch man,” murdered three of the Span iard’s heirs and stole the mine. He worked it alone for 10 years or so, then revealed its secret site to his nephew, whom he afterward killed. Other persons, to the number of eight, were shot while trying to find it. He died in 1892 without reveal ing the mine's location. A bronze tablet marks Snowbeard's grave on the mountain. FOR YOUR ENJOYMENT 5 Points Music by Troubadours Adm. 60c - 15c H. A.
