The Town of Cheyenne Wells.

Cheyenne Wells is a cattle town. county
seat. with a population of about 400, Jail
with one prisoner, a schoolhouse and
Methodist church. The cattlemen are try
ing to discourage farming. They want the
ranges. They had free grass here until a
short time ago. and have been put to
great deal of trouble by the fencing.
Therefore, they run down the model farm
They say it Is a freak, and that nobody
but Mr.. Robertson could grow cabbages
or anything else There are several SIM
liar farms in the neighborhood, however,
sufficient to prove that crops can be grown
without irrigation, provided they are cult
waited properly and the soil is kept loose
and mellow, so that what little moisture
there is can get down TO the roots of the
plants and will not run off the surface.
The greater part of the land in this To-
cality is held in large tracts by private
parties. who have purchased it from the
railroad company. w. W. Gurley. general
counsel of the traction companies in Chi
cago with S. W. Worthy, has a tract of
-, 900 acres. A. n. Mitchen of Chicago has
10000 acres, and the following are also

day. to be seen at Cheyenne Wells. rail-
way division point seventeen miles west of
the Kansas line and III miles from Den
yer. The town stands on a divide between
the Arkansas and kaw rivers. and of it
self is of little interest: but not far from
the railway station is a model farm Of 1G0
acres, owned by the Union Pacific Rail-
road Company and operated by Mr.. J. b.
Robertson. from which ten successive crops
of wheat, rye. oats. potatoes, vegetables,
berries and fruits have been harvested
without water. There Is a lovely little
orchard at the place, with apples, pears,
plums and cherries. windbrake of shade
trees. protecting the house. of elm, ash and
horse-chestnut trees all growing we'll There
is no water on the premises. not even a
well cistern The supply for domestic
use is piped down from the railway tank
The railway eating house and section
foreman's home are both surrounded by
groups Of fine, healthy trees, and several
are growing In the schoolhouse yard with
out the use of water.
This farm is maintained for the purpose
agricultural country. and to demonstrate
to the farmers in the neighbOrhood how
they can secure profitable crops without
irrigation. We found Mr.. Robertson, the
farmer. helping the Rev. MIR. Martin the
only dominic in town. to build fence
around his garden. and when the good
Samaritan had finished the work he told US
briefly how he runs his farm and grows
twenty-five bushels of wheat to the acre
and thirty bushels of rye. year after year,
without irrigation. He cultirates 1t some
thing after the Campbell plan, leaving the
top soil loose and pulveriZed, that the
rain can soak in and do as much good as
possible. Mr.. Robertson has kept a record
for ten years. and says there is no in
crease In the rainfall and no change in the
climate. The minimum for ten years has
been thirteen inches and the maximum
twenty inches. with an average of fifteen
inches mostly between April and October.
In contradiction of the theory that the
rainfall is increased by the blowing of
the ground, Mr.. Robertson says that there
was heavier precipitation during the first
two years he kept his record than there
ever has been since.
