Forests Must Be Saved.
From the Washington Post.

From the Washington Post.
The truth is shat four.fliths OF the
forests of the United States are in
private hands. The government at
the eleventh hour has extended it's
authority over large forest areas,
and II requires that timber cutting
In such areas shall be carried on With
q view to future needs as wellias pres
emit demands. The forests are to have
q chance for their lives. In other
areas the governments is attempting
to raise trees. The work is SLOW and
difficult. Common sense dictates
that the proper policy Il to save the
remaining forests, rather than to
permit their destruction in the hope
Of creating new forest areas. This
policy IL being pursued By the federal
authorities In the one. nith Of the
total forest arsa which il under their
control. Public sentiment uuques-
tionsbly approves this plan and viii
heartily sustain the President inlsny

said Harry B. Burrill, a specislsgen
OF the Department OF Commerce and

Japan.
Japan might harass the United
States for SIX months, and take the
Philippines and Hawaii, but then
they would find themselves up against
she United States and practically
powerless to proceed. Japan Is
bankrupt practically. Money is re-
quired to conduct a war, and there
is not another nation that could or
would finance her In a war against
the United States.
"There are yellow journals In
Japan, many Of them, and they and
the jingoists are making all the fuss
about war. The substantial citizens

Farmers Plan to Get Power.


The primary purpose Of the Amer.
lean Society OF Equity Is to protect
the farmer, but this is not It's sole
object. The organized farmers are
notmerely to fight their own battles.
They are to help the great mass Of
the American people to secure more
general equitable conditions. In
seeking to obtain better returns for
their Investment OF capital and labor
they are not to force the poor to pay
more for the necessities Of Life. Rath-
er they are to assist them In securing
food and clothing at a lower rate by
squeezing out the middle man with
bis fat profits. Products are to go
directly from the consumer to the
producer, 50 far as possible. The A.
8. E. has formed an alliance with the
American Federation Of Labor and
the two are co-operatingin the estab.
lishment CT distributing stations
where farm products may be sold BY
the farmer to the consumer without
the Intervention Of q third party.
Such distributing stations are al
ready in operation in Chicago and
other places.

AND
DRY FARMING

How can the arid lands of Utah
be made Of value? This is a question
which has caused the expenditure of
millions of dollars, a question which
is causing scientists all over the world
10 spend years and fortunes, and
which, when fully explained, and its
results successfully applied will mean
an enormous AMOUNT to Utah and to
the United States.
While the irrigation projects are
being constructed in Utah, Idaho,
Wyoming and Nevada, there is one
thing which should not be forgotten,
and that is the great American desert.
Arid farming is being experimental
with in the various parts of Utah and
the results are that hundreds of thous-
ands of acres of land are being yearly
subjected to cultivation.
There are now in Utah six expert
ment farms, all Of which are under
the direction of the Department of
Agriculture at the Agricultural col
lege of Utah, Of which Prof. ]. C.
Hogenson is the head. He is the ag-
economist at the experiment station.
These experiment farms were pro-
vided for under an act of the Utah
Legislature, approved March 6, 1902.
Truth. [volume] (Salt Lake City, Utah) 1901-1908, 1907-09-28

In arid farming in Utah the disk
plough is almost exclusively used, as
it not only pulverises the furrow slice
when the land is very dry and hard,
but il can be used in large gangs
The disk harrow is generally used, as
is also the s~pike-toothed harrow. In
seeding, arid farming three pecks of
wheat of forty-fve pounds are sown
in each acre. In some instances as
low as thirty-fve pounds are sown.
Witt, alfalfa but eight pounds are
sown to the acre.
Arid farming is limited at present
almost entirely to the state of Utah,
where it has been carried or for many
years. Conditions in Utah for the
cultivation Of the arid lands are far
better than in most states. The tenn
perature does not reach great ex-
tremes and the rainfall is usually
plentiful. The main drawback to the
dry farming is the fact that the pop
ulace can get no instruction outside
of one school in the state, the Ag-
ricultural college in Logan.

Utah's Arid Land Farms.

The farms are located as follows:
One four miles south of Nephi, i'll
Juab county; one at Parowan, in Iron
county; one at Enterprise, in Wash
ington; one near B~urrville, in Sewer
county; one at Verdure, in San Juan
county, and one eight miles south Of
Grantsville, in Tooele county. Each
Of these farms contains forty acres.
There are also two horticultural
farms in Utah, one near Lehi, in
Utah county, and the other near St.
George, in Washington county. The
experiment stations in Utah, as agents
for the advancement OF the science
of agriculture, receive annually from
the Government $4,000, and an aIdi-
tionol amount known as the Adams
fund. Congressman Allen Adams OF
Wisconsin introduced and secured
the passage of the act providing for
this yearly appropriation.
There have been many systematic
experiments in dry farming in Utah
since 1870, and in various parts of the
state wonderful results have been OBJ
tanned. In some parts of the state, as
in Cache valley, Bear River valley
and Malad valley, the probabilities are

that there are more arid farmed lands
than irrigated lands. Arid farming
is also carried on in Utah, Iron,
Washington, San Juan and Tooele
counties, with remarkable success
The Utah Legislature has made direct
appropriations for the establishing and
maintenance of these experiment
farms, and all are we'll provided with
protection, labor and other essentials
to the maintaining of successful ex-
periments.
Most of the farms are divided into
100 rlats each. Half of this is kept
in fallow each year. The farm rear
Grantsville is at an altitude of 1900
feet and the average rainfall, as SOM
piled from records for the last ten
years, is fifteen inches. The minimum
is ten inches and the miximum twenty
inches.
