Dry Farming Again.

During the past few years great in.
terest has been taken in the develop.
ment OF dry farming in the semi-;lrid
west. The Campbell system is best
known in this connection, and Mr..
Campbell. who has taken great in
terest in the work has induced one or
two western railroads to carry along
experiments along their lines
Two years ago the government,
thru the state experiment stations OF
Montana, Wyoming and some other
western states, made some interest
ing experiments.
The rainfall in the semi-arid regions
during the past three years has been
above normal and the government
has therefore not tested dry farming
under abnormal conditions and the
results are yet very much in doubt.
Land in the semi-arid regions is
abundant and cheap and settlers are
tempted to try their fortunes upon
them. Water is the one element that
Is needed to make these lands very
productive.
The rains i'll these regions come in
the form of sudden and heavy
showers and the problem is to con-
serve this moisture and prevent it
from running Off the surface.
Professor George H. Failyer, of the
government department OF soils says
that to enable the water to run
down quickly into the lower soil, a
deep bed OF porous soil must be pre-
pared. 1t should be a mellow, close
grained mass, without any ten lency
to become solid Or stick together. In
order to preserve this condition, con-
slant and careful cultivation must
be practiced.
Mr.. Campbpll's method is to cult
vatc the soil immedia tely after every
rain and in order to make this work
effective it should be carried on day
and night until the growing crops
are all cultivated.
In preparing the soil for the crops,
the plOwed ground is packed with an
implement especially devised for the
purpose.
A good plan is to disc the part
plOwed during the forenoon before
going in at noon time and again to
disc that part plowed in the after
noon before quitting work for the
day.
Guilty a lion is then kept up almost
constantly until the growth of the
crops is assured.
Where wheat, oats or any crop
that is harvested in the summer. is
grown, the ground should he stirred
as soon after the removal of the crop
as possible. Any rains that come
previous to plowing will be taken up
by the disced land better than by the
dry stubble ground.

vested in the fall, double discing may

In 1904 I set out about 1900 rasp-

Kansas Black Cap, which is an early

1905 set out a great many more,

and half way between the tree rows.

half of them died. Those which
lived made an unusual growth. In
the fall of 1903 the plants were torn

count of the Portland & Seattle Ky
company purchasing it for right-Of-
way. In a corner OF the place a
number of bushes were not torn up
and are still standing. They have
not had a drop of irrigating water
during the season of 1867, and no
care has ever been given them, yet
during the season of 1906 they We're

Our Eour-Foo,ed Friends.

All kinds of animals are coming in
for share of publicity in these days of
nature taking discussions. So many
wonderful accomplishments have been
falsely credited to common place ami
mails that their really remarkable abii-
tiles have been overlooked. There is
nothing "fakeyn about the statement
that squirrel can bite harder than
dog, and it is the truth that coon can
crack an oyster or clam shell in his
teeth as easily as boy can crack a
peanut. Nobody seems to think it
much of a stunt for mouse to gnaw
hole through pine board an inch
thick in three hours, but when one
considers how little and insignificant
the mouse is, il is really wonderful
accomplishment. And as for animal
sense, what is the matter with the rab-
bit. which can see as well at night as
day and behind him as we'll as in
front. 1t is also something to be able
to do as the fox does-smell human
bein & a quarter of mile away.

city of teachers in Marion county the
coming winter. The various boards
of education in the county are nov en-
gagged in selecting teachers, and in
some places there are no applicants at

this county, County Supt. Faust
states that there is general demap d
for teachers in every section of the
county, particularly in the more re-
mote sections. Tho the salaries for
teachers holding No. certificates will
very probably be raised to $50 through
out the county, it will be hard to SUP

enough teachers TO supply the demand.
Teachers are imported INTO the county
every year from dilieren. parts Of the

including those in different towns.
