MONEY RAISED FOR THE CANAL.
Twin Falls Project Is Effectively FL
nanced

The Salt Lake Herald says that the
Trowbridge & Niver company. a Chi
cago bond house, has agreed to fur
nish the money to complete the canal
of the Twin Falls Land & Water COM
pany in southern Idaho. 1t is expect
ed that about $1,OOO,OOO will be re-
quired to finish the work.
AS a result of their agreement to
furnish the money necessary the Chi
cago firm will become the owners of
81 1-2 per cent of'the capital stock
of the Twin Falls company. The en-
tire deal was ratified at a meeting Of
the stockholders of the Twin Falls
company held Wednesday at noon in
the company's offices in Salt Lake.
The 81 1-2 per cent interest has
hitherto been held by the Buhl-Kim-
berly corporation of Sharon, Pa, and
Walter G. Filler, of Salt Lake. Under
the terms of the agreement. the Trow-
bridge & Niver company is to take
over this stock, making part payment
for 1t in securities of the Twin Falls
company. and, as a further considera-
tion, are to furnish the requisite cash
to complete the work.
The sale of the stock as ratified by
the stockholders, will probably be con-
summated in Chicago in January.
That will be followed by the election
of new officers. S. B. Miner, of Salt
Lake, is to be the new president of the
company, succeeding F. H. Buhl, of
Sharon, Pa. who is disposng of his

of reclaiming the semi-arid regions.
The fourth assumption was to the
effect that the soil should contain
the ingredients essential to supply
nourishment to the crop, and that II
should be of such consistency that
much of the moisture should be re-
tanned. There are all varieties of soil
within the state of Colorado. Much
of this soil is sandy and not we'll
adapted to the conservation of mois-
ture. However, ii has been estimated
that in Colorado there is as large a
portion of land suitable to cultivation
under the Campbell system as there is
in any state in the Union adapted to
farming under general methods. Rich.
sandy loan surface, with a clay sub
soil, makes the ideal condition for the
employment of the Campbell system,
and there are several million acres of
such land in Colorado.
Prof, Campbell began the real work
of practical demonstration on his
model farm at Hill City, Kan. and
encouraging progress has been made
year after year. A field of wheat at
the farm in 1905 yielded Al 1-S BUSH
els per acre, while a nearby field of
equally good land produced only Is
bushels to the acre. Had both crops
been sold for So cents per bushel the
land on the Campbell farm would
have returned $21 per acre more.
However, Mr.. Campbell's crop was
sold for seed at 81 per bushel, the
total receipts per acre being $47.33,
while that from the adjoining field
brought only 62 cents per bushel, or
$3.50 per acre, making a difference
of over $3S an acre.
This is the situation that the sun
porters of the Campbell system ex-
pect to create in the semi-arid regions
of the great west, and especially in
Colorado. Instances of enormous crops
produced by the Campbell system of
dry farming within the last two years
are on record, showing that scientific
treatment of the soil will work won
ders. A few months ago a number of
investors who had been interested in
the proposition of cultivating the mil
lions of acres of semi-arid alnd in
Colorado, and who had given Mr..
Campbell their encouragement and
support, formed themselves into the
Campbell System Farming associa-
tion, electing ]. L. Donahue president,
and naming a board of directors.
The successful cultivation of the
barren plains without the expendi-
ture of millions of dollars on the con-
struction of vast reservoirs, would
come in the form of a legacy to Colo
rado. The Campbell system can do
this, but the magic touch of fortune
cannot be wrested from it by an un-
skilled hand. The men who employ
this method must be men of intelli-
gence, sobriety and unflagging indus
try,

Athena, Jan. "A meeting was
held in the Baptist church in this
city today by the Umatilla Baptists,
for the purpose of forming a Umatilla
County Baptist association. This was
done on account of the Eastern Ore
gon Baptist association being so large,
that the members of Umatilla decided
TO have an association of it's own.
Delegates were in attendance from
Pendleton, Umatilla, Adams, Helix,
Weston, Milton and all parts of Una
tilla county, and the meeting proved
to be very enthusiastic and interest
ing throughout. A constitution and
bylaws were adopted and it was de-
cided to hold the first annual meeting
of the association in Athena, Tuesday,
the 22d day of May, when there will
be three days session. The East
ern Oregon association will be asked
to meet with them at this time, as
this association will meet at La
Grande three days previous to this
meeting and this will give some of the
state leaders a chance to attend the
meeting of the Umatilla association
also.
Steps were taken today to secure
missionary for the Umatilla Baptist
association, who will devote his entire
time to work in this field, and sum
of $11t was subscribed toward this
cause.
The following officers were elected
to serve the association until its first
meeting in May:
Moderator, Frank K. Wells; assis-
tant moderator, W. W. Harra; clerk,
C. L. Hall; treasurer, j. T. Iieuallen.

| crops if the Campbell system can con-
serve it.
Water moves in the soil by the pro-
cess Of capillary attraction. 1t moves
as readily down as up. If the sub
soil is kept well packed, a seed bed
| is made in which the moisture moves
readily in perpendicular columns to
the roots of the plant, on exactly the
same principle that water rises in a
lump of sugar, if one corner only is
touched to the liquid. To prevent
the moisture from rising to the sur
face and passing off into the atmos-
phere, the top soil is kept in a loose
condition, making what is termed a
soil mulch. This accomplshes two
ends: it prevents the moisture escap-
ing, and places the soil in such con-
dition that rain does not run off. but
readily percolates to the seed beneath.
The Campbell system of dry farm
ing is essentially a scientific method,
and none but painstaking, dilgent and
versatile farmers can hope to win
success. The land must be deeply
ploughed, in the preliminary work of
preparation, and allowed to stand one
year before sowing. In the winter
heavy SHOWS cover the ground. and in
the spring warm rains melt them.
The moisture sinks down into the fur
rows and month after month the pro-
cess is repeated. When planting time
arrives the ground is narrowed and
raked. and the seed placed near the
surface. It is then that the real work
of cultivation begins. The surface
mulch must be kept well loosened.
and this may mean that the farmer
rise in the middle of the night. call
out his help hitch his horses to the
harrow. and go over his land. Every
thing depends on the time of the rain
falli and this intensive treatment must
be given directly after its cessation.
Should a rain occur when the crop
mas reached height of 12 inches or
so, the harrow must be taken over
the land Regardless of the young
plants, as every drop of moisture must
be gathered and used.

DRY FARMING IS REDEEM|NG COLORADO

The Denver Post of January l, con.
tains the following comprehensive ac.
count of the success of the Campbell
system of dry" farming in Colorado
The barren plains of the great west
stretching mile after mile across the
half of the continent, are to be re.
claimed. They shall blossom like a
garden and shall yield bountiful crop!
to the nation. Now they are worth
less; then they shall be valued a.
many dollars an acre. And this will
be done without irrigation.
A few years ago a practical Ne
braska farmer, II. w. Campbell by
name, became imbued with the idea
that generous nature intended that the
water she put upon the earth should
be sufficient to nourish even the driest
and most improbable soil, and he
therefore set out to learn the method
in which she intended it should be
applied. He worked a long time, and
little by little he developed what is
known as his system" making posi-
BILE the cultivation of dry and arid
land.
Mr.. Campbell was a thinker It
occurred to him that the soil should
be used as a natural reservoir, the
surface dirt acting as a shield to ward
off the burning rays of the sun. On
that basis he conducted his expert
ments. and it is on that principle that
his scheme has won its success.
The Campbell system of soil culture
has made a place for itself as the only
practical method of cultivating arid
land without the construction of long
and expensive bitches and the wasting
of many gallons of water at great ex-
pense.
The fundamental principle of the
Campbell system is the conservation
of moisture. Certain legitimate as
sumptions can be made; first that
there is a minimum rainfall, which IL
conserved will bring a crop to matur-
ity; second. that the application of the
Campbell system will conserve this
rainfall; third, that there are seeds
peculiarly adapted to an area of slight
rainfall; and, fourth, that the soil
contains the ingredients essential to
supply nourishment to the particular
crop in question, and that the sub
soil is of such character that it will
readily hold moisture.
Experiments conducted for a period
of 16 years prove that the average
precipitation between the base of the
Rocky mountains and the Kansas-Ne-
braska line has been 14.93, almost Is
inches. During the growing season,
from February until August, the pre-
cipitation is 11.95, almost 12 inches
Further careful experiments demon
strated that so tons of water are re-
quired per acre to bring to maturity
one bushel of wheat in the semi-arid
region. 1t is agreed by experts that
the moisture required to mature
crop of wheat is the maximum
amount required by any farm crop
grown in the semi-arid region In
terms Of water. an inch of rainfall
means 113 tons of water spread over
an acre of land. Twelve inches of
rainfall means. therefore, about 1851
tons of water TO the acre-enough, i'll
all of II could be used, to produce 27
bushels OF wheat to the acre. 1t is |
evident, therefore, that there is suf- |
ficient moisture for the cultivation of
