Dry Land Farming.

The short grass country of west
ern Nebraska and Wyoming, is
thoroughly aroused over dry
farming" and is seeing visions of
a time when the great cattle range
will raise fine crops of wheat and
sugar beets.
Business men of Cheyenne, Wy
olning, and North Platte, Nebr.,
have subscribed $4,000 to expert
ment alon this line and in addition
to these private parties the Union
Pacific and Burlington railway sys-
TENS have appropriated largely to
further this work while in other
sections farmers have gned agree
merits to cultivate at least FIVE
acres according to directions and
report results to the directing body.
By dry farming is meant the cul-
tivation of land without irrigation
in az form whatever. The lands
aft cted are those millions of acres
,f semi-arid lands which are now
turned over to the cattlemen, the
prairie dogs, the rattlesnakes aud
owls. A small portion Of these

remain damp in hard ground. To
prevent evaporation the soil is
loosely scratched. The following
spring the crop is put in and re-
ceives frequent but shallow cult
vation, to conserve the moisture
with "dust mulch" Crops are
raised only every other year how
ever under this system, the ground
being permitted to rest each alter
mating year.
Already several small farmers in
astern Wyoming have succeeded
in securing a yield of tlirty-fve
bushels an acre of frst-class wheat
where formerly no wheat whatever

p,eted it will cover 5000 acres of
land in the lower part of the valley.
IF we go into the Yakima val
ley, the idea now is to start one Of
the foregoing projects, finish it.
aud then follow it up with another
as quickly as possible. We will
continue to do that-continue to
develope the valley until all the
storage water is used. The Gov
ernment realizes what irrigation
means to Washington, and the
people here may rest assured that
the work will be pushed through
as rapidly as possible. Just as
soon as the water users in the val
icy can get together or the ques-
ton of water rights tEcn the work
will be gotten under way.
"When t." projects nov before
the Government are completed it
will meap that there will be over
100000 additional acres Of land
under irrigation. To do this it
will be necessary to spend. millions
of dollars, the exact total not be-
ing known at the present time"

lands have been placed under the
ditctes and are now producing
heavy returns on all crops. But if
the efforts of those who are inter-
ested in dry farming prove sue
cessful there will be added to the
cultivated areas vast acreage now
considered valuable only for graz
ing purposes.
The system used in dry farming
is very simple. Late in the sum-
mer the soil is plowed very deep.
1t is then laid over in loose fur
rows and when the 1neager rainfall
comes the loose soil retains the
moisture, where it would not even

Millions of dollars will ulti-
mately be spent in the valley of
the Yakima by Uncle Sam i'll the
reclamation of arid lands. In a
way that is up to the people. Just
as soon as they can settle the
question Of water rights the work
will begin. The surveys for four
projects are already nearing COM
pletion."
d. c. Henry of Portland, con-
sulting engineer for the states of
Washington and Oregon in the
United States reclamation service,
made this statement Wednesday
to Seattle Times reporter. Con-
tinuing, lie said:
There are, all told, four dis
tiuct projects in the Yakima valley.
One is to cover 10000 acres of
land near Ellensburg. Another is
to cover 10000 acres of land near
Yakima, the so-called Tietan pro-
ject. A third contemplates the
extension of the Sunnyside canal,
taking in land on both sides of the
river and covering something like
10000 additional acres of land

n P. Canal improvements

l The Northern Pacific Irrigation
Co. have just completed extensive
improvements and repairs on the
dam, at intake of Kennewick canal,
at 4 cost of SI7oo.
During the month Of August the
Yakima river was lower than in
former years, consequently neces-
stating tightening the dam and
river bed, in order to prevent a
large amount of water escaping be-
meath the dam and through river
he'd formation. The method ad-
opted to prevent leakage was to
cover the river bed and face of
dam with fine sand and soil to a
depth ranging from one foot on
bottom of river to eight feet ON
face of dam, the entire width of
river, or 600 feet. In order to ex-
pedite this work the company con-
structed a narrow-gauge railroad
track on top of the dam, and en-
ployed peddler cars to haul the
material used for the work. In
&onnection with this work the dam
has been strengthened by an addi-
tional amount of rock work, thus
giving the company every conf
dence in a substantial structure
and good supply of water.
According to law all dams or OBJ
structions in flowing water must
construct a fish ladder, in ordert to
allow fish to pass over said dams.
A fish ladder has been constructed
second to nonei in this state, there
by giving the inny tribe easy ac-
cess to the waters above the dam.
The Yakima river is rising grad
ually, there being at present FIVE
feet of water at the dam, or two
feet more than is required to supply
the demands of the canal.
The company is now contem-
plating plans for the usual winter
repair work, and as soon as the
water is Shut off work will com
mence. The company desires to
make the Kennewick canal first
class ditch, and to this eud will
spare neither money nor labcr.>

cred that 1T is just as good land as

Equal to Illinois Land.
Mr.. Roberts remarked the other day |
that, while waiting at the White House
for an opportunity to see the President,
he fell into conversation with Vespas-
ian Warner, the com missioner on pen
sions. Mr.. Warner owns several humid
reds of acres of land in Buena Vista
county, Iowa, and is trustee for several
thousands of acres in Webster county.
The conversation drifted to land and
Mr.. Roberts asked the commissioner
for his opinion of Iowa land. The lat
ter declared that he considered it in
all respects the equal of Illinois soil
and ventured to prophesy that the
time is not far distant when it will sell
for as much as Illinois land sells for
today. Mr.. Warner until last March
was congressman from Illinois but he
acquired his land in Buena Vista coun
ty many years ago and on account of
his interest in the Hawkeye state has
kept in close touch with conditions.
Mr.. Roberts asked Mr.. Warner how
long period Of time had been requir-
ed for Illinois land to reach the pres
ent values of $150 to $3.50 per acre.
The commissioner said he could not
call to mind anything very specific on
that point, but he did remember very
we'll what the value of land in Dewitt
county (almost in the geographical
center of the state) was worth in
1880, as at that time bigs'law suit
was tried, involving the value of land
and experts we're put upon the stand
! to testify to the value of land
throughout the county. The prevailing
price at that time was ~ an acre.
lie same land is selling today for
from $125 to SITS, with $3.50 as tie
price for ordinary good farms. j
"A Wonderful Increase.
Thus 1t appears that in twenty-five
years land in Illinois-and Mr.. Var
ner said Dewitt was typical Illinois
county-has sextupled in value; s27
in 1880; $3.50 in 1905. In other words
the land has increased five dollars

No Room for Pessimism.
The cry is often heard that at SIS
; per acre Iowa land has struck high
water mark and the ultimate limit;
that it is not worth any more than
that, if indeed it is worth thct much
: Mr.. Warner says the same pessimistic
!. remarks were made when Illinois land
touched SIS. It was high water mark
and dangerous stuff to handle at that
figure, and yet since those remarks
were made, the same land has doubled
in value.
