Grain Without Irrigation.

At the Raffetto ranch north OF this
city fine crop OF grain has been rails
ed this year without irrigation. Part
OF the crop was rye which has cut a
second crop. The wheat that was cut
is of excellent quality and exceedingly
heavy. This grain was raised without
irrigation. At the Holstein ranch a
good crop of wheat was raised with
out water and it grew in what was con-
sidered poor soil. At the Winnie
ranch the best grain in that end OF
the valley was produced without ar
tifcial irrigation. Every year the Win
ME ranch has fine crop OF grain and
no water is used. There is consider
able land in this valley that is not used
No water can be brought on to the
land. By experimenting with this
seemingly useless land a crop Of grair
could be raised. Rye is known to dc
we'll on dry, high land, though it doe:
not bring big price as fodder it is
always high as seed. Several farmer:
who have tried winter planting on lano
where water cannot be had, have gain
ed good results and usually come bach
