Mr.. Davis and his brother, Colonel
Thomas b. Davis, present representa-

conference at Deer Park last night
with Colonel John T. McGraw, the
Democratic leader In West Virginia.
Colonel McGraw stated that Demo.

strongly In favor of the reelection OF
either the incumbenS, or his brother,
Henry G. Davis. Thomas b. Davis
positively refuses a denomination. ana
persons close to the Democratic
powers say that Henry G. Davis is
not averse to taking the honor.

DRY FARMING.
Explanation OF the Principles of tho
Campbell System.

>ahbpSi
What western people have become
accustomed to call the Campbell sys-
tenn OF dry farming" consists simply In
the exercise OF Intelligence. care pa
tlcnce and tireless industry. 1t differs
In detail from the good farming meth
obs prncticcd AMI taught at the u,rlous
agricultural experiment stations, but
tlic underlying principles are the same.
These principles are two In number:
First, to keep the surface of the land
nnder cultivation loose and finely pull
verified. This forms II soil mulch that
permits the rains and melting SHOWS to
percolatc readily through to the COM
pacted soil beneath and TINT Mt the
same time prevents the moisture stored
In the ground from being brought to
tho surface by capillary attraction, to
be absorbed by the hot, dry air. The
second Is to keep the subsoil finely pull
verified and firmly compactcd. increns-
Ing Its water holding capacity and It's
capillary attraction and placing 1t In
the best possible physical condition for
the termination of seed and the devcl-
opmcnt of plant roots. The dry farm
er thus stores water not In dams and
artificial reservoirs. but right where It
can be reached by the roots Of growing
crops.
Through these principles rainfall OF
twelve inches can be conserved so eff
fcctlvcly that 1t will produce better re-
suits than are usually expected of an
annual precipitation Of twenty four
Inches In humid America The discov.
crcrN and demonstration OF these prin-
ciples deserves to rank among the
greatest of NATIONAL bcncfactors. He
has not merely made two blades of
crass grow where only one grew before,
but he has made it possible to cover
with wheat and corn. alfalfa ana other
useful crops tens Of thousands OF square
miles Of fertile land OH which nothing
but sagebrusli, cacti. Kansas sunhow-
ers and tuncl, grass are now found.
