CALL MASS Meeting
Council Wishes the Citizens to
Meet With Them and
Discuss the Perplex-
ing Water Prop
osition.

How to solve the much
mooted water question is the
problem that for years has
baftied the city authorities
and been the most serious
drawback that Ritzville has
had. At the council meet
ing last Tuesday evening the
city fathers asked Mayor F..
Thiel to call a mass meeting
for next Fricay night to meet
at the court house in order
thei all may express them
selves on the water situation.
Every citizen who owns any
property on which he must
pay taxes or who is interested
in the town should be present
and voice their sentiment in
the discussion.
Those who have resided
here during the summer sea-
son when dust is thick on
everything when the heat is
oppressive and the atmos-
phere dry, when even shrub
berry, lawns or trees are not
allowed to grow to relieve the
dryness, because there is in
sufficient water to dampen
the roots will appreciate the
efforts of the council to solve
the difficult problem.
Many people would have
built homes here and re.
manned if proper water con-
ditions had prevailed. Some
who erected homes with the
expectation Of living here
sold out and are scattered to
other towns. If this one big
difficulty might be overcome
Ritzville would flourish like
the proverbial green bay tree
and would be a center OF
wealth and education.
It's up to you.

Dry Land Farming.
Seattle Post IntelliRencer)

The Wilson Greek Chief publishes
an interesting story Of success at dry
farming in the Big Bend country.
s. ]. Klepfer came from Indiana in
1904 and purchased $50 acres Of dry
land, contracting to pay 1875 an
acre. He added improvements a.
muunting to $3.50 and began opera.
tions. Last year his wheat yielded
twenty-five bushels per acre, and a
fine crop OF corn returned twenty-five
bushels to the acre. He had remark
able success in growing and marketing
melons, onions, carrots and other gar
den products. The farm is valued to-
day at $50 per acre but could not be
bought at a good advance over that
figure. Farming the dry lands Of
Eastern Washington furnishes won
derful stories OF surprise to the pio-
neers OF the West. The first settlers
passed these broad acres and pro-
nounced them worthless. The rain
fall was not considered sufficient to
keep the pasture grasses alive. The
irrigation canal seemed to be the only
way OF making those lands Of any
value to farmers. But change has
come over the situation. Some
of the best agricultural and horticul-
tural specimens come from the dry
farms. Formed theories IS to the
necessity for permanent moisture on
the surface to insure crops have been
abandoned because Of results that
demonstrate their insccuracy. Colo
RADIO farmers report similar expert
ances with those recorded 10 Eastern
Washington in handling the dry
lands. By systematic cultivation the
natural moisture received from spring
rains and winter storms is conserved
and the land made to produce abund-
ant crops withaut irrigation. The
Denver Republican advocates the
homesteading Of dry lands in that
state because of success attained by
pion GERS in fields once thought to pos
sess no agricultural value. The pres
ent system of soil tilling practically
does away with surface irrigation an d
brings better results where the water
is kept from the land. There are
many sections Of semi-arid lands that
will produce good crops without irri.
CATION canals. In some instances the
use OF water has done more har m than
good bringing alkali to the surface
aud causing the soil to become loggy
and unproductive. Too many have
attempted to grow big crops BY ire.
quent application Of water and sun
shine. The products have been placed
on the public markets and their INFER
ior qualities marked. The new far
mer is learning the the lesson that a
land we'll titled il much land overirri-
gated. The methods Of dry land farm.
ing will work q. complete revolution
in some districts where irrigation Ca
nails are not impossible.
