Live Stock and Dry Farming
(By W. M. Jardine)
“Dry Farming” is a term applied to.
the most up-to-date und approved sys
tem of growiug crops in the states or
localities of extremely low rainfall.
It is the system by which the western
third of Kansas, Nebraska, Oklahoma,
and the Daketas, and the mountainous
states of the west, may best be farmed
The average rainfall of western Kan
sas varies from 15 to 23 inches, an
ample supply for the production of
profitable yields of adapted crops, pro
vided a system of farming is practiced
that will cause most of the rain that
does fal! to be held in the soil wntil
such crops can use it to the best ad
vantage in their development. The dry
tarming system does just this, when
properly carried out.
A system of farming which did not
include live stock production as veIII
as grain production, could never be a
dapted to the development of a per-'
manently profitable agriculture for |
western Kansas, or any other locality }
for that matter. Nowhere is there a |
greater need for dive stock farming
than in areas having limited ralnhlll
The oaly way to preserve the rain so |
that crops may eventually utilize it, |
& to place the soil in condition in |
which it will absorb quckly and deep- ii
Iy the rain as it falls. Humus, ve.e-]l
table matter, barnyard manure, etc.!'
when incorporated in the soil, increase | !
#s water holding capacity. The soils !
of an arid country are usually low in !
Humus; therefore the nced of manure |/
&s cerrespondingly great. Since live!
stock furnish tiie manure, the impor- '
tance of having live stock om every |!
weostern Kansas farm may easily be“
understood. /]
The:presence of more live stock on ll
diec-farms of western Kansas wnuldl"
eucourage the growing of a greater |
varfety of crops and thus enable the :c
farmer to distribute his work mol'(fl:‘,,l
evenly throughout the year, to glvoE’
work to the entire family continually, '
and to keep the teams busy more days |
io the year, while the feeding of the
erops to-live stock on the farm would |t
develop a satisfactory market for all !
erops grown-on the farm. There is and '
will undoubtedly continue to be a;
strong and ready market for live stock |
and all live stock products. ¥
Sorghum crops do better in western
Kansas than any other crops that can !
be grown there for forage or for grain |
As yet no market has been developed |
for these crops, and in order to get
their full value it is hecessary to feed

thenm to live stock om the farms whrrv:
they are grown. The sorghums are
proving to be the equal if not the su
perior, of corn for silage. In no part
of the state is the silo of more im
portance tham ia the dry farming area.
Live stock, dairy cattle, beef cattle,
hogs, sorghum for forage, grain, or sil- |
age, and wheat on a small area each
year, will produce the happy combpin
ation which will engage the profitable
attention of the farm family the year
around, and develop for Kansas an ag- '
riculture whicli is permanent in char
acter, and .which will become increas
ingly productive each year it is prac
ticed. 1 am for it. It is the omly sys
tem that may be counted upon to pro
duce profitable results one year after
another. i
There are in Kansas 2.2 acres of land
that have never been farmed, for ev-:
lery acre that is planted to crops. The !
Jdifference between unplowed land and
'u:v cropped area is greater in eastern
| Kansas than it is anywhere else in the
| state. There are still large areas of
grazing land, short-grass, etc., upon
’whlch few animals are feeding, and
which should be utilized i their full
!(-amrlty for grazing purposes. Suffici
ent land has already been brokem in
‘ western Kansas to raise all the wheat
itorue. and silage necessary to feed
lall the animals that can be grazed
there, with plenty still left to feed
'much live stock that may-be brought
to the farms of that area to be winter
ed.
Eliminate Complete Fallures
:- In emphasizing the relation of live
stock to dry farming I do not wish to
‘be construed as saying that wheat
farming mzy not be profitable over
large areas of western Kansas. What
I wish to state is that with a combina
[linn of live stock and wheat farming
western Kansas will continue to pro
duce fully as many bushels of wheat as
it now produces, but upon a much;
‘smaller acreage.

together, and until the last few years
was supposed to be incurable. !‘or-fi‘t
many years doctors pronounced it a al
disease and rmflhed local remedies, and
by constantly failing to cure with local
treatment, pronounced it incurable. Sci

constitutional treatment. Hall's Catarrh
