Dry Farming by John A. Widtsoe is a comprehensive guide to the agricultural practice of dry farming, which involves cultivating crops in areas with little rainfall or water availability. The book covers a range of topics related to dry farming, including soil preparation, crop selection, planting methods, irrigation techniques, and pest management. Widtsoe draws on his extensive experience as an agricultural scientist and educator to provide practical advice and detailed instructions for successful dry farming. The book also includes case studies and examples from various regions around the world, demonstrating the versatility and effectiveness of dry farming methods. With its clear and concise writing style and wealth of information, Dry Farming is an essential resource for anyone interested in sustainable agriculture and food production.The water that falls on the land is disposed of in three ways: First, under ordinary conditions, a large portion runs off without entering the soil; secondly, a portion enters the soil, but remains near the surface, and is rapidly evaporated back into the air; and, thirdly, a portion enters the lower soil layers, from which it is removed at later periods by several distinct processes. The run-off is usually large and is a serious loss, especially in dry-farming regions, where the absence of luxuriant vegetation, the somewhat hard, sun-baked soils, and the numerous drainage channels, formed by successive torrents, combine to furnish the rains with an easy escape into the torrential rivers. Persons familiar with arid conditions know how quickly the narrow box canyons, which often drain thousands of square miles, are filled with roaring water after a comparatively light rainfall.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
