Salisbury
OF w ellsville, first cul-
tivator Of Dry farms.
James A. Leishnan
tells all about it.

1t may be interesting to the farm
ing community and perhaps to the
general public to know something of
the circumstances that lead up to the
successful raising of grain without ir-
rigation in Cache county. At one of
the annual visits Of President Young
to this valley, in the sixties in speak
ing OF the occupancy of the lands in
this region, he stated that the time
would come when the farmers who
were then tilling the low lands would
resort to the uplands, and tracts lying
Immediately under the mountains and
foothills, and that grain would be
raised upon them without irrigation.
This declaration was considered by
some Of us as somewhat utopian, as
the idea prevailed that no crop could
be raised without irrigation in this
country.
1t TRANSFERRED, however that there
were some persons present who be-
lieyed what he said, especially in re-
gard to dry farming Mr.. Joshua
Salisbury of Wellsvllle, a Welshman
by birth, was deeply impressed with
President Young's statement, and he
resolved TO make the experiment, as
soon as circumstances would permit.
He, however, owned quantity OF
land and water in the west field of
Wellsyille, sufficient for his mainten-
ance, which laid him open to the adj
verse criticism of skeptics, in his ad-
vocacy of d.y farming, They could
see no propriety in him wishing to
engage in a venture so befraught with
apparent disaster and failure, as to
undertake to raise grain without irri.

accessible for irrigation in its vicinity,
and in the breaking up Of quantity
of their homestead and making other
improvements he sold his land in the
east field to obtain means to meet the
expenses incident thereto.
This latter act was regarded as the
climax of his folly, in selling his
watered farm to obtain means to i'm
prove dry one, many denouncing
him fool and fanatic. The first
two or three years of his venture was
failure, sure enough, but undaunted,
he kept on. In the meantime, how
ever, he raised sufficient for his bread
and studied the causes of his failure,
when he discovered, among other things
pertinent to this enterprise, that the
trouble was due to oversowing. lie had
sowed too much to the acre in sowing
the same quantity of seed upon dry
land as he did on land to be irrigated,
producing more plants than the mois-
ture of the soil was capable OF sustain
ing; thick sowing produced too many
plants, which absorbed the moisture
too soon, and in the absence of rain
the plants burned up. With renew
ed energy and hope he prosecuted his
undertaking, rectifying his mistakes,
and in the year 1915 he raised an
abundant crop of excellent wheat
without water. He had solved the
problem of dry farming, and thus full
filled the statement of President
Young, that grain would be raised
without water upon the upland and
slopes OF the foothills of this country.
Mr.. Salisbury was enough of a poll
tical economist to see the vast benc-
fits that would accrue to the country
by dry farming, making it possible
for farmers to put in a large acreage
OF grain: because the extent of intend
ed irrigated crops were regulated 10y
the amount that one person, or even
more, could irrigate, and the length
of time he was entitled to use the
water: the great labor drudgery and
expense incident to irrigation would be
entirely eliminated from grain raising
on dry lands. The results of this pro-
cess is sufficient answer 10 the recti-
tude of the visions and ideals Of Mr..
Salisbury in regard to it, and is an
excellent exhibition of his abiding
faith in the words of President Young,
and lasting rebuke to those who up
braided the former for the perSistency
which he manifested in carrying into
effect an enterprise that has blessed
the country.
Not only has Mr.. Salisbury excellcd
in this matter, for in many other d-
rections he is entitled to favorable men
ton as gardener in the propagation
of choice garden seeds, some of which
were exhibited at the Worlds Fair at
Chicago, carrying OIL number of val
liable prizes. All in all, his name will
go down to posterity as benefactor
to his race. He is now i'm his 18th
year, hale and hearty, still in posses
sion of those indomitable traits that
have led him on TO success in all his
undertakings, and happy in the
thought the he has proved himself
not to be the idle dreamer that many
thought him to be. and still happier
that they and many Others, have been
blessed and benefited by his success
and experiments in the matter in
question.

Tells Them Why All Their Ideas Are Not Applicable to Mining in the Great Southvest-Cor parison Between Bisbee and Caranea.

James W MalcOlmson. writing from
 Fl Paso. tells the Mining and Engi- neering Journal. of New York. a few things n contradicting a recent edi- tcTial attack made by that publication on Greene Consolidated. The ground taken by the Engineering and Mining Journal was that Greene was not a goc1 investment because it presum- ably has not stock of ore blocked , cut for any number Of succeeding years. Mr Malcolmson in answer writes as follows:
