THESE are progressive times, and
the farmer as well as everyone else
can improve on old methods by
studying the advanced teachings
of men who have made a scientific
study of agriculture When men
devote months and sometimes years
to patient and persevering research
and careful experiment, the re-
suits of their work should be worth
something. Hence the subject of
dry farming, by which farmers
who have adopted it are raising
crops without irrigation and with
scant rainfall throughout a large
area of the West, should commend
itself to the attention of the farm
ers all over this region. Irriga-
ton is expensive and, if good crops
can be produced without it, ire
mendous saving would be made
thereby.

SATURDAY, APRIL IS, 1907.

A TIMELY article on the subject
of windbreaks, from the pen OF
Harvey {. Stiles, horticulturist OF
the Saint Louis, Brownsville and
Mexico road, is published in to-
DAVIS HERALD. This article should
prove of special interest and value
TO people who are now engaged IN
clearing land in South Texas for
agricultural purposes Professor
Stiles suggests that belts of the ma
tive timber running at right angles
to the prevaili- g winds be preserv-
ed, in order to protect the tender
vegetation of crops which will be
planted on the land thus cleared,
and likewise to prevent the shifting
of the soil, until rows of tall grow
ing trees planted on the lee of such
belts can be raised to serve as wind
breaks. This idea commends it
self to THE HERALD as one which
is worthy of the special considera-
ton of land owners and planters in
general a perusal of the article
in question will doubtless repay
the time given it.

St. MarY's Fair.

The fourth of the series of enter
tainments given hp the members CT
st. Mary's Parish in continuation of
their annual fair, occurred at their hall
Saturday evening.
The first thing on the program was
"The Bakers Song, participated in
by fourteen boys, eight to twelve
years of age. They were all clad in
white suits, with white cap and white
apron, i'll the style of professional
baker, and each carried bakers pan
on which he beat time to march by
while they filed on to the stage.
They gave pretty motion song and
made their exit at the conclusion of a
little fancy marching, all of which the
audience seemed to appreciate very
highly.
A comedy followed entitled "New
Brooms Sweep Clean", in which the
parts, both old and young, were as
sumed by youngsters of about the
same age as those taking part in the
Bakers Song The amusing situa-
UlolS VI uHe pay anu Uuelr young
voices issuing from the flowing boards
worn as part of the costume of the
older characters made a very droll
effect. The drama, "Theatre Fin de
Steele" was entirely in the French
language, was full of amusing situa
tions and thoroughly appreciated by
the large number among the audience
familiar with that tongue. A farce
comedy, "The Holy Terror present
ed by four young pupils of st. Mary's
School, made fine ending to the
program.

to say.

reasons for the immensely of Coop

The statements made by those seen in
