This book was released on 2021-05-19 with total page 210 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Written by John Andreas Widtsoe, noted author, scientist, and an academic, this work is the first attempt to gather and arrange the known facts of science in their link to the production of plants, without irrigation, in areas with very little rainfall. The needs of genuine farmers have been kept in mind, those farmers who must first understand all the regulations, before their procedures can be completely satisfactory. It is hoped that the enlarging group of dry-farm investigators will also be helped by this representation of the principles of dry-farming. Widtsoe states in the preface. "The subject is now growing so rapidly that there will soon be room for two classes of treatment: one for the farmer, and one for the technical student." This book was written with help from large libraries, and the material was drawn from the available sources of that time. Widtsoe became the director of the Agricultural Experiment Station at Utah State Agricultural College in 1900.

Download or read book Dry-Farming written by John Widtsoe and published by Createspace Independent Publishing Platform. This book was released on 2017-11-21 with total page 156 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: John Andreas Widtsoe demonstrates an immense knowledge of soil and farming conditions; much of the advice in this classic manual remains useful and relevant to this day. An excellent collection of knowledge is united in this guidebook, which commences by setting out the concept and core principles of dry farming. Much of the Earth is covered by land which receives only modest rainfall each year; coupled with a lack of an underground water source and/or water rights, many landowners found themselves having to grow crops with dry farming methods. Widtsoe was one such farmer, and his knowledge of the land's properties would prove decisive in his success. The properties and composition of the soil are crucial in deciding what crops to grow, making maximum use of limited water resources in an unirrigated plot by encouraging the soil's water retention, and sowing seeds with methods to maximize germination are all important aspects of running a dry farm. Together with practical chapters on these and other subjects, Widtsoe keenly explains the history and evolution of dry farming techniques. Agricultural sustainability also features; combating unpredictable conditions, and the potentially devastating effects of drought (which Widtsoe renders in the literary form of 'Drouth') are also a prominent part of this book's explanations. Overall, this text maintains a relevance even in the face of enormous technological advancements in agriculture. Much of Widtsoe's knowledge is timeless, and his lucid explanations of the building blocks of farming stand as a good primer to new small-scale farmers, or amateur enthusiasts of agriculture.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Dry-Farming a System of Agriculture for Countries Under a Low Rainfall The possibilities of dry-farming are stupendous. In the strength of youth we may have felt envi ous of the great ones of old; of Columbus looking upon the shadow of the greatest continent; of Balboa shouting greetings to the resting Pacific; of Father Escalante, pondering upon the mystery of the world, alone, near the shores of America's Dead Sea. We need harbor no such envyings, for in the conquest of the nonirrigated and nonirriga ble desert are offered as fine opportunities as the world has known to the makers and shakers of empires. We stand before an undiscovered land; through the restless, ascending currents of heated desert air the vision comes and goes. With striv ing eyes the desert is seen covered with blossoming fields, with churches and homes and schools, and, in the distance, with the vision is heard the laughter of happy children.

Book excerpt: 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.

Book excerpt: Book Excerpt: ared probable therefore, that in aridcountries the amount of water required for the production of onepound of dry matter would be higher than in the humid regions ofGermany and Wisconsin. To secure information on this subject, Widtsoe and Merrill undertook, in 1900, a series of experiments inUtah, which were conducted upon the plan of the earlierexperimenters. An average statement of the results of six years'experimentation is given in the subjoined table, showing the numberof pounds of water required for one pound of dry matter on fertilesoils: --Wheat 1048Corn 589Peas 1118Sugar Beets 630These Utah findings support strongly the doctrine that the amount ofwater required for the production of each pound of dry matter isvery much larger under arid conditions, as in Utah, than under humidconditions, as in Germany or Wisconsin. It must be observed, however, that in all of these experiments the plants were suppliedwith water in a somewhat wasteful manner; that is, theyRead M
