yesterday during a call at the Daily

partment OF agriculture and was IN
Amarillo last spring with Secretary
Shaw and his party and later at the
session Of the Panhandle Farmers
congress. This time he stopped over
here on his way to Narawsa, n, NJ.
Il have a section OF my own three

farming Of It for my own benefit,
My wife and brother-in-law are now
on the place and will remain there all
summer. We expect to have a great
time OF II and we expect to have
something to show, too, for our work
At the end OF the season.
I'VE have IN now over a hundred
acres OF small grain and expect to
put in a large acreage of other
grains. | am a firm believer in the
dry farming" system and all the
work will be done SO far as possible
In accordance with that plan. OF
course dry farming will not do every
thing and the farmer must use COM
mon sense and judgment along with
It in the choice Of crops, one would
not expect to succeed here with or
anges however faithfully he might
practice dry farming or any other
kind OF farming, But It Is just as
much q mistake TO expect to raise
successfully certain varieties OF
wheat, corn and other grains. Some
strains are going TO prove we'll fitted
for this soil and soil conditions and
the experiment stations and careful
farmers are accomplishing a valuable
work when they ascertain the merits
of various strains.
"Over at our farm we are going
to do gardening, too, and we have a
considerable showing OF poultry al
ready. It is an experiment TO me
because before this my farming has
been for the department and we
haven't counted profit and losses the
way I will have to count It, be-
lieve though, that we can make it
paw from the start"
