question of naming i referee for the
Brftt-Nelson mill scheduled for Septem-

evening from the three following men,
George Siler of Chicago. Eddy Graney
OF San Francisco and Jim Jeffries. re-
tired champion heavyweight pugilist Of
the world. Nolan insisted on Siier ref

the two managers could not come to

said that Siler was an honest. compe-

could not stand for him on account of
the roasts ne has handed to the Britts

claiming he would be an additional

Sensible Advice About DRY Farming

Having noticed good bit of boom
talk on the Campbell system of farming
and how so many are figuring on large
results in the future, | would like to say
that have been raised to farm under
the same. plans and know it to be all
right. A great many people, however,
are being carried away with it and sad
disappointment will surely come to some
people who go into a dry country expect
ing to make stake out of dry land
farming, as it will only be successful
when sufficient rain can be had to at
least grow buffalo grass. There have
been years in Colorado when all the
Campbell systems on earth or any other
for that matter, would not make a crop.
put in good many years in eastern
Colorado and know that the country is
subject to failures with the best systems
that can be found outside of irrigation
Some portions or great part of eastern
Colorado will not yield anything even
under the Campbell system for the sandy
soil will not lay still long enough for any
crop to grow. The high winds will keep
the soil moving and cut all growing veg
citation to the ground. The clay will do
all right but the sandy soil will blow
away at certain seasons in spite of any
thing that can be done. | found this
out many years ago to my sorrow and
great many others will discover it also
The fellows who are booming the system
will be the ones to make the money by
working off their cheap lands at good
figure and the poor tenderfoot from the
East who buys will be the loser, as was
the case in the early SOS when SO many
people went into eastern Colorado and
dropped their little all trying to farm
without any experience in dry climate
The writer was one of them and feels
sorry for those who are to come after
and get caught in the new rush, as they
surely will. 1t requires moisture as well
as good farming to make crop in any
country. Eastern Colorado is all right
and will come out all right along its pres
ent lines. but my advice is not to figure
too highly on mpossibilities.- Jack
