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, arid subdue it."
