COLBY WAVE BREAKS /.
ON MONMOUTH SHORES
Many Prominent Politicians and
Business Men Attend Mass
Meeting at Asbury Park.

ASBURY PARK, June 12.-In the
absence of Senator Everett Colby, of
Essex county, the principles and aims
of the republican faction which fights
under his name, were explained in
Asbury Park at a mass meeting last
night by Gardner Colby, Mayor Pagan
and Corporation Counsel Record, Of
Jersey city. Mr.. Colby, II, was an
nounced, was detained by the illness
of his wife, who is in the Thousand
Islands, prostfated by the recent
death of their .~two-year-old daughter.
The casino of the Grand Avenue
Hotel was filled at eight o'clock, when
Billy Barnard, Princeton's fam
Gus football coach, called the meet
ing to order. In the throng were
many of the prominent politicians OF
the county and more of the promi-
nent business men of the city.
Mr.. Record, who vas introduced,
received a warm reception. He spoke
at some length, outlining in eloquent
detail the principles and aims OF the
Colby contingent as set forth In the
platform already familiar to the Vot-
ers of New Jersey.
Referring to the alleged ambition
of the reformers and the charges of
personal interest hurled at himself
by the enemies of their cause, Mr..
Record found from the story of Lin
coin and Roosevelt, distinguished
parallel. How, otherwise, he asked,
can an idea be made to attain its pur-
pose except through the stepping
stones of office. Every man with a
principle to advocate and idea to
force upon the voters was inherently
an office seeker. The senator paid
his respects to the machine of New
Jersey in his usual forceful manner
and was frequently applauded.
A Colby league will be immediate
Nv formed in Monmouth county. Mr..
William H. Barnard was elected tenn
porary chairman, and Mr.. Harold B..
Ayres temporary secretary. The fol-
lowing organization committee was
named:-Messrs. G. E. #. Herrick,
E. C. Wyckoff, H. d. Leroy, Jesse Mi
not, H. B. Ayres, w. H. Barnard, and
M. Il. Pach.

HOW TO RAISE CROPS
WITHOUT IRRIGATION
Expia no tion OF the Campbell Sys-
tenn of Dry Land Farming
System A Success.

There is renewal of the interest in
"dry farming" in semi-arid Districts
that is, districts in which the an
nual rainfall is from 10 to 10 inches
and Mr.. Campbell and his methods
are once more being talked about. As
to these methods, all that can be said
is that in theory they are simple. and
in practice rather diffiuclt. They in
volve the substitution Of labor for q
certain amount of rainfall, and labor
being more costy than rain, the profit
of production lis less. On the other
hand. however. land which can be
farmed only in this way costs much
less than that whose rainfall is abund-
ant, or which can be irrigated. So
that upon the whole it is believed
that these so-called dry lands are not
excluded from competition. Crops are
produced upon them and, it is
claimed, at profit if the work is we'll
done. Mr.. Campbell himself states
the case as follows:
First-Catch the rainfall and store
it where the roots of the plants can
reach it.
Second-Keep the soil always 6ne
and loose.
Third-Have a firm, solid founda-
tion under the sofia bottom to hold
the water.
The careful regular application of
these principles in farming will pro-
duce at least three times the results of
ordinary farming, and often four and
FIVE times the results.
Store the rainfall in the soils by
keeping the surface of the ground al
ways loose, which stops evaporation.
1t is impossible for moisture to rise
to the surface through loose soil and
that leaves the ground in the best
condition to receive the next rainfall.
Thus you can make IA inches of rain
go as far as % or 80 inches in raising
all kinds of crops, plants or trees.
We do not lose any of the rain-wt
have the full benefit of it. We keel
it stored where the roots of the plant.
