 DRY ARMlNG-Richard Graham made an experiment in dry farming on his ranch on Mineral creek, Apache county. which produced a very fine patch of corn. Last fall he got ten acres of land ready by carefully blow ing and narrowing it. Then this spring he began cultivating it as early as he could, and kept that up till time for planting corn. Then he planted his corn and the ground was wet enough to bring it up- He continued with his cultivation all during the summer, stir ring the ground every few days, espe- cially during the hot season. As a re- suit the crop withstood the dry season well and never quit growing at any time It has now cared out well and compares very well with the irrigated corn of the county. The secret of it all lays in the cultivation.
 GLOBE WILL INCORPORATE-At mass meeting held in Globe a few days ago the citizens Of that place de- cided almost unanimously to proceed with incorporation. Globe is probably the largest place in the southwest that is not incorporated and a great deal larger than many towns that have req son to be quite proud and boastful. For some reason there has been prejudice in Globe against incorporation but it seems to have finally faded away. The town had some kind of a village incor- poration years ago and that fact seems to have left a taste in the mouths of some of the old settlers. From the re- port of the mass meeting. published in the Silver Belt. it appears that the old incorporation became a dead letter but there was never any disincorpora- ton. Some one raised this fact at the meeting and it was feared it would stand in the way of legal incorporation now Attorneys present however. de- cided upon a plan to settle the legality of the situation. It was proposed to present a petition for incorporation to the county supervisors and then secure an injunction restraining them from granting it. The suit on the intunc- tion case which would be a friendly proceeding. if decided against the ap- plicants for an injunction would leave the way open for the granting of the petition and Globe can start with d clean slate
