Science sounds big to the average
farmer. but it really is not a myster-
ious thing when the term is applied
to the culture of the soil-it is sim

certain results follow certain things.
Scientific soil culture would be worth
less to the man who followed certain
rules without understanding their i'm

not look with favor upon the indicl-

nected with the Phelps-Dodge inter

The Industrial Advertiser of Albu-
querque has this to say:
The government agents appear to be
raising row for the purpose of draw

Green was reported as resting com

injured man had been with the Nor

A feature of the accident, which
shows the perfect system by which q

Every day increases the probability
that republican political fur will be
scattered all over this county before
the delegates are selected to represent
Cochise in the territorial republican
convention to be held next year to
name delegates TO the national con-

two factions created during the last

clubs. Postmaster Kibbey is out with
a straightout declaration in favor Of
an iron-clad, copperbottom delegation
from Arizona for President Roosevelt
as the 1908 candidate for reelection.
Two days before the arrival of Roose-
velt's latest dope on the question of

through irrigation is the old-time rain
belt theory, which in the early eight
les led people by the thousands 10
flock into the eastern portion of Colo
RADIO and western Kansas and Nebras-
ka, there to take up land and establish
homes. 1t win be remembered that
numerous towns were established and
the land-mad people bought farms up
ON the sand hills in country where
the normal precipitation ranged from
fourteen to sixteen inches per year,
far remote from any possibility for
Irrigation. These people knew nothing
of the problems which must be
solved by the farmer in the arid re-
gions, and pursuing the same haphaz-
ard methods which have met with fall
ure even in a land OF abundant rain
fall, it was not surprising that hunger
and distres were the only results of
their efforts at BODYBUILDING.
The almost rainless lands of Egypt
yielded abundantly of grain without
Irrigation, and from recent carvings
and inscriptions it is found that the
ancient dry farmer" believed in soil
stirring, or, as it is called now, soil
mulching. and in sub-soil packing. In
place of ingenionsly devised wedge
shaped wheels which packed the soil,
the Egyptian would drive his hocks
OF goats over the seeded ground and
then the surface was stirred, frequent
ly by hand. at other times by means
Of brush dragged over the ground, to
pulverize the surface in order that
the moisture might not escape. Pro
fessor Campbell today is working up
on the same principles of scientific
agriculture as were practieed by tine
Egyptian farmers TWO or three thou
sand years ago.
While there can be no doubt that
through intensive farming and scien-
tific soil culture Hundreds of thou
sands OF acres of semi-arid lands may
be brought under cultivation in Colo
RADIO, still it would not be wise for
progressive men 20 argue that If crops
may be raised upon our lands without
irrigation therefore it would be need
less to embark in extensive irrigation
enterprises. Dry farming is nothing
more nor less than the conservation

ported water streaming in forward.
''The first officer came on the
