Oklahoma has been soaked,
drenched and almost swamped
by the recent rains, writes L>. 8.
Woodson, superintendent of the
demonstration farm department
of the elate board of agriculture.
Over the entire state the ground
is saturated deep down into the
sui8.il and now that warm
weather is at hand ev ry farmer
is anticipating a bountiful crop.
Nature seems to have tried to
give us her best, and all the face
of Oklahoma seems to ooze with
moisture and good promise. The
moisture is excellent row, but
the wind and warm weather will .
make short work of taking it out
of the toil if the farmers do not
at once "oork the bottle" that
holds the moisture.
We have plenty of moisture
now but we have no assurance
that we are going to continue to
have it all through the year. Na-
tura tried to teach us something
by the drouth of 1910-'ll and the
teSHon she tried to impress on us
was to hold the moisture while
we ha je it* * *
The will always be some dry
periods during the crop reason in
Oklahoma. There will never be

Any farm crop is hurt by having
insufficient moisture at some per-
iod of its growth. The way to
give crops moisture during dry
periods is to s ore up moiBture in
the g ound during the wet per-
iods. This moisture t an be used
by th * plants during the period
of no rainfall. If there is one
thing that we would like to im-
pre s on every farmer and gar-
dener in Oklahoma at this time it
is to put the lid on our moisture
supply whiu we have it.
Wh have just one way to do
this and that is by cultivating the

aporation. A blanket of loose
