Abstract

It is well known that over the plains in Colorado crops are -:now being raised without irrigation in places where this was .formerly supposed impossible. This is in large part due to the -adoption of improved methods of cultivation specially adapted to the climatic conditions. The farmer early observed the dry 'weather of June, and came to expect it as a rule. On these plains successful agriculture was possible only after a careful study of the June drought. At the present time the aim is to have the times of planting so fixed that at the time of this ,drought each crop shall be at that stage of its growth in which ,:experience shows it can best endure the dry weather. G. H. STONE. -Colorado Springs, March 5.
