Senior thesis, Kansas State Agricultural College, 1898.Morse Department of Special CollectionsIntroduction: The problems confronting every wide-a-wake farmer of today are numerous, but there are few of greater importance to the Kansas farmer than the problem of the conservation of Soil Moisture; for whatever other conditions may be necessary to success, he must have moisture, and this is one thing, which if he has to depend upon rain for it he cannot always get when he needs it. Portions of our state, which when water can be supplied are very productive, yet because of its lack under present methods, are wothless for agricultural purposes. And even in the better portions, as well as, in other states, not seldom are crops materially injured by only a few weeks of drought at a critical time. If the crops could be tided over such periods, large losses might be avoided.The organization that has made the Item available believes that the Item is in the Public Domain under the laws of the United States, but a determination was not made as to its copyright status under the copyright laws of other countries.
