Weeds Crowding Wheat and Dry Farming Notes
Prof W M Jardine reports preliminary tests on row planting and cultivation of small grains and alfalfa on dry lands. He argues weeds crowd wheat when land is not kept weed free from prior to planting and advocates dry farming from start to finish. He suggests alfalfa in rows can yield hay and seed under low rainfall, estimating about one ton of hay per acre and possible seed crop in favorable seasons.

THREE DRY FARM ESSENTIALS FOR MOISTURE CONSERVATION
Three key points for dry farming emphasize seed quality and drought resistance, strict avoidance of drought-inducing dryness, and maintaining soil fertility. Professor Widstoe's findings suggest fertile soil requires about half the moisture to yield a crop, akin to rich milk. Continuous soil cultivation should ensure a steady moisture supply for the growing plant.

Use for Immatured Crops in Dry Farming
The speaker urges dry farmers to maintain dairy cattle to absorb immature or mature crops. By feeding such crops to cows, farmers reduce crop risk and create an all around cash business. Even in unfavourable seasons, there is always feed for the dairy herd, supporting steady income.
Using alfalfa for a lawn by Fr Parsons
Fr Parsons argues alfalfa best drought resistant lawn grass. Plant thick, spade ground to about a foot, avoid manure to prevent soil burn, keep mower height low for a dense green mat. Regular mowing reduces moisture use and preserves color in drought, with winter top dressing of coarse dirt as mulch.
