Dry Farming in
 Navajo County

"When the frost is in the pump kin and the fodder S in the shock, :" truly a fitting season for our time-honored Thanksgiving day and, when we come to think of 1t, we have much to be thankful for these closing days of 1907. In this favored portion of the great southwest we have been unusually blessed with q bounti- ful supply of moisture in the shape of frequent and timel V rain fall during the past season. While 1t IS true that there was rather over much rain during the latter part of the season that in- terfered with the safe garnering and housing of certain crops, still there was a much greater amount of all kinds Ot farm pro- ducts stored away for the win ter's consumption than ever be- fore in this county. The acreage of what is termed Dry farming" that has successfully been per formed this year was threetold more than of any previous year in this locality. For an instance. Mir. Howard informed us recent ly that he had raised a fife yield of white beans near Dry Lakes last summer without irrigation and had the weather permitted of the proper curing of his crop after 1t had matured, he would have had many bushels of as fine a quality of this valuable pro duct as are offered on the market anyN here and would have netted him a handsome profit, but as 1t is, he has been amply repaid for his seasons work.
