consumption is much heavier. J

Too, Indiana farm uses have increased. Farms that once skimped

on water now use it freely, AND advantageously. Why? Because

electric pumps delivet water easily, and cheaply! There are prob-

ably 100,000 electric pumps on Indiana farms now,— 40 years ago ?

Practicélly none!

We believe the smart Indiana farmer, in the interest of water conservation, will build a pond on his place. Some 2,000 ponds have been laid out since the U. §: Dept. of Agriculture Soil Conservation Service started promoting them, about five years ago! (Nice clear pools, NOT hog-wallows.) Besides providing water for livestock, these ponds furnish fish for food, and family recreation . + “How you gonna keep ‘em down on the farm?”

You don’t need? gully, for your pond, slightly rolling land affords a site AND a water supply from natural drainage ses Conserve water,—it's valuable. And help yourself i in your battle -

“with erosion, by means of the farm pond.
