crops on arid or semi-arid lands
without irrigation. 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

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.
