DRY FARMING
Is PROFITABLE
Wheat Threshes From Twek
to Twenty Bushels.
Minnesota Farmer and Threshins Ma
chine Owner is Satisfied---Cood
Yields Under UnfavorabIe
Conditions.

81 have been threshing for twenty
years and | never saw better wheat
than the dry-land wheat grown here
this year. The yield ranged from
twelve TO twenty bushels per acre.
When ! was here last year they began
seedin some of the fields ! threshed Oh
November 23d. and kept on seeding un-
til nearly Christmas. This late seeding
yielded twelve bushels. The earlier
seeding yielded up to twenty bushels
All these cfops were grown on sage
brush land. The berry is as fine as
ever saw. The settlers are all satisfied
with results. Dry farming has vindi-
Gated the claims made for it.
II never saw better oats, either,
than those grown by air and Thayer
near Aberdeen. | mVHed my machine
to Mr. Blair's place at 8 O'Clock and |;
little before 5 we had threshed 1900
bushels, machine measure. By weight
it amounted to about 5000 bushels ]
am told that some of these oats weigh
ed So pounds per bushel. The wheat
averaged sixty-three or sixty-four
pounds per bushel-
Mr.. Ems came here from Minnesota
and located on land above the canal,
which is locally designated as dry farm
land. He has been running threshine
machines for twenty wears and shipped
a large amount of machinery here in
cluding four traction engins. He has
had one of them with his threshing
crew, and another grubbing sagebrush.
His judgement regarding wheat
growing country should have weight
and he believes. year for year, the drs
farms here viii yield better than the
wheat belt.

Big Dry Land Potatoes.

Last Monday ]. w. Simmons, OF
Liberty. brought to this Office sam
pie of the kind of potatoes he raisee
this year on high bench land without
irrigation. The four potatoes left al
the Office weigh exactly 10 pounds ano
Q ounces, the largest one weighing !
pounds and II ounces. The potatoes
were planted on the Both of last May,
on land that is close to 5000 feet above
sea level. and so situated that it is i'm
possible to irrigate it. From three
acres Mr.. Simmons harvested l2,W
pounds of spuds. While those left at
this Office are little above the average
in size. yet he says that there was not
what might be called a small potato III
the IL, 600 pounds, and he found one
that balanced the scales at exactly 4
pounds.
Mr.. Simmons noticed in the Ex-
aminer few weeks ago an item about
the four pound spud that was grown
near Twin Falls with only two water
ings. and he thought it might be well to
let the Twin Falls people know that
Bear Lake can grow just as largeSpots-
toes without any irrigation and at An
altitude over 1000 feet higher than at
Twin Falls.
