416 DRY-FARMING 
Stock the dry-farm with the best modern machin- 
ery. Dry-farming is possible only because of the 
modern plow, the disk, the drill seeder, the harvester, 
the header, and the thresher. 
Make a home on the dry-farm. Store the flood 
waters in a reservoir, or pump the underground 
waters, for irrigating the family garden. Set out 
trees, plant flowers, and keep some live stock. 
Learn to understand the reasons back of the prin- 
ciples of dry-farming, apply the knowledge vigor- 
ously, and the crop cannot fail. 
Always farm as if a year of drouth were coming. 
Man, by his intelligence, compels the laws of nature 
to do his bidding, and thus he achieves joy. 
‘“And God blessed them—and God said unto 
them, Be fruitful and multiply and replenish the 
earth, and subdue it.”
