EXPERIMENTING IN DRY SOIL
FARMING.

The experiment station has Under
taken line of investigation relating
to soil physics, one of the principal
objects of which is to determine upon
plan of cultivation suitable for the
semi arid sections of Washington.
Sub stations have been established at
Quincy and Connell, where there is an
annual rainfall of about twelve in
ches. Discussing the situation, H..
B. Berry, in charge of the work in
soil physics, said:
"If none of an annual precipitation
of twelve inches is lost by evapora-
tion, or by drainage, but is caused to
pass through the crop, this amount of
moisture would be sufficient for a crop
of forty bushels of wheat per acre.
The purpose the experiment station
has in view is to devise a system of
farming which will most nearly give
that yield. Among the questonis we
shall seek to answer are: What is
the best method of conserving soil
moisture? What is the value Of
discing summer fallowed land early in
the spring before it can. be plowed?
What is the value of the sub surface
packer? If the soil suffers from
drouth, it is because there is not
suffiient moisture in the soil, or be-
cause the plants are unable to receive
the moisture while it is present in
the soil. In the former case our ex-
perimentation will be in seeking the
best cultural methods to conserve
moisture; and in the latter case we
ust attempt to develop a strain of
plants that will take the moisture
from the soil, which is a plant breed
ing problem.
incidentally, tests will be made
of forage crops, such as alfalfa, hairy
vetch, and several grasses. We shall
make comparison of spring and fall
sown wheat. and moisture determina-
tion will be made throughout the
season.
"In beginning this work, we shall
in the main follow the summer fallow-
ing system. but are trying to conserve
the moisture in the soil by a better
system of tillage than is usually prac-
ticed. We will plow as early in the
season as conditions will justify, and
begin the practice by discing the land
as eoon as possible. Later. we shall
follow with the pillow, and Immediately
afterwards, work the ground with a
sub surface packer, a machine which
packs the soil. but leaves the surface
roughened, so as to form a mulch.
By these means, we expect to hold
the moisture in light soils quite sue
cessfully, We do not harrow the
ground after having given such
course of treatment as this, but use
tool which has blades that work be-
meath the surface of the ground.

Mr.. and Mrs. A. R. Price will
leave in day or two for an outing in
the Pierce City district. driving
through from here and camping out
en- route. A trip to Pierce will be of
especial interest to Mr.. Price, as he
mined in that region 46 years ago.
when the placer camps of Idaho were
attracting the attention of the world.
In 1862 Mr.. Price held two acres of
placer ground on the Orc Fino flats,
and from this he was taking from $12
to $40 in gold dust, working alone,
each day, and he had worked out a
small corner of his claim when the big
strikes in the Florence country, where
men were taking out $1,000 a day to
the man, called him away from Pierce
and he deserted his two acres of 500
diggings for a chance at Florence. and
as the later chance proved a blank he
is going to Fierce to kick himself.
Mr.. Price is full of tales of the west
of the days when the gold fever ran
high, and could write a volume filled
with the vital human interest.

NO DEVELOPMENTS
 IN SARABIA CASE
Attorneys for Defendants Work But Their Plans Are
 Not Known.
(Douglas International-American

Douglas International -American.)
 DOUGLAS, July 10.-(SreciGl.)-- )-- !. Another day has passed without de- velopment of note in the Sarabia case. As announced yesterday the cases of the accused officers have been set for Wednesday. Just what position the defense will take in the matter when the cases are called is not known to the territory. except that Lee Thomp- son. it is understood, wants a hearing before Judge Rice.
 Attorney E. E. Ellinwood was in the city last night and Attorney Ben Goodrich is here today. They have nothing to say about the cases, for the defense of which, it is understood, they have been engaged.
 Of Sarabia nothing directly is known. The government is still ac. tive in the case in its own mysterOius way. The following dispatch from the city of Mexico is of interest prin- cipally as showing just how far be hind the times on border events they are in the capital city:
 Mexico City, July At the for. eign office nothing IS Nnown of the reported Kidnapping of Manuel Sarabia arrested at Agua Prieta, a border town of Mexico, over a month ago He is still in prison there.

pound pumps of a 1000-gallons per minute capacity, one Mesaba triple expansion pump of 2000 gallons ca pacity per minute. At the present time the pumps in use are lifting 2000 gallons per minute but with the in stallation of the new ones this will be increased to 5000 gallons.
 In order to give one an idea of the size of the station which will be required to house one of these pumps, a six-horse team could be turned on the trot without any trouble whatever. The weight of the fly wheels alone are 24,000 pounds each. In addition to cutting the sta tions on the 1000 and 1900, the men are also busily employed in running drifts to the Pittsburg and Hoatson. The structural iron men are expect ed to begin work Monday morning on the shops. The machine shop will oe- cupy a space 56 by FPS, the rope house 50 by 12S, the plate shop AS by 12S.
 In addition to this there will be a large warehouse and two acres for pipe racks. There have just been in stalled four new boilers of 2S5 horse power and are expecting two more to arrive any day.
 The business men of Lowell fully appreciate what this enormous under taking means to them ia financial way, as it will necessitate She em- ployment of at least one hundred ad- ditional mechanics, and they are not slow to see the advantage to be de- rived from the increased population.
 Sheriff Jack White was a business visitor in Lowell during the day.

dom s a matter yet to he determined. It is possible that if he is really want ed for murder, as has been alleged, the Mexican government will attempt to secure him in a legal and regular method, through eXtraditiOn proceed ings, instead of resorting to sandbag- ging methods which in this instance failed, or will have failed before the American government gets through with it.
 Cases Not Set.
 IL has not yet been definitely deter mined when the cases against Officers Shropshire, Hayhurst and Thompson and Consul Maza will be called for trial in Justice Rice's court. Assist. ant District Attorney Ross is in Doug las in connection with the cases but he could give no assurance as to just when the territory and defense will be ready. It is not expected, though, that any of the defendants will be ar raigned before Saturday
 It is understood that Attorneys Ben Goodrich and E. E. EllinwOod have been engaged by one or more of the defendants.
 Cases Set for Wednesday.
 Later in the day 1t was announced that the Kidnapping cases have been set for Wednesday of this week be- fore Justice Rice. It is not known, though, that they will come to trial. It is quite likely that the federal grand jury, which is now in session at Tombstone, will take notice of the case, and in the event indictments are returned the territory will be re- lieved of the case.

CONSUL MAYO IS

DOUGLAS, July 10.-(SpeciaLj-
 When Antonio Maza left here a day or so since, after notifying Judge Rice and his bondsmen, the consent of the latter having been secured. which was altogether proper under the circum- stances. he announced that he had business at Tucson which compelled h.S absence from Douglas.
 Instead of going direct to Tucson. if he ever contemplated going there at all, the consul left the United States and went to Cananea, where. it is supposed, he has had a confer ence with General Luis Torres, com mander of the northern military zone of Mexico, and Ramon Corral, vice president of the Mexican republic. He went from here to Naco, after an- nouncing that he was going to Tue son, and from that point went to Can anea. It is possible that he may go to Tucson after reporting the Sarabia Kidnapping to his sUperiOrs at Cana nea.
 United States Marshal Here.
 No further developments of a pub nc nature nave OtCuTGeu III Iiie od- rabia matter. It is known that the United States government is working on the case through one or more de- partments. United States Attorney Alexander is at Tombstone today. but just what steps he has taken in the matter is not known. Jack Foster, a deputy United States marshal, was in the city Saturday night, but it is not known that his presence here had di- rect bearing on the Kidnapping case. If he made an investigation of the case he was very guarded in his movements.

scheme. The stairs at present lead ing up from the front of the building are to be removed, if found neces- sary, So as to give as much room for the new equipment as is now found in the quarters at present used In other words room for the fire appa- raus will be at least doubled. The steamer will be housed here and also horses for the steamer, if the one purchased requires horses for propel- ling power. and for the big comDina- ton hook and ladder and chemical.
 It is proposed to locate the stairs to the second story of the city hall in the rear of the building, and the council chamber may be used by Judge Rice as a court room. Entrance to the iail and the rear of the building will be on the east side of the struc- ture.
 Furthering their plans for an i'm proved fire protection for Douglas it is the intention of the council to To- cate hose carts at the Seventh and Fifteenth street school buildings and to organize volunteer companies in each of the districts of which these buildings are centers. These two companies. together with the central city company, il is thought. will give Douglas satisfactory protection.
 At least three men are hereafter to be maintained as fiTemen on a sal aried basis. The chief is to be the driver of the steamer, another is to be the driver of the big hose wagon and one or two more paid men are to be carried by the city. Some talk is also heard to the effect that a nomi- nal allowance is to be made for the volunteers. IL is thought that a cer- tain amount, even though necessarily small will greatly encourage the vol unteers and stimulate interest on their part.
