FORTY YEARS OF
DRY FARMING
George Farrell, Of Cache County,
Utah, Tells How he Made a Sue.
cess of "keW Method"

George l.. Farrell of Smithfeld,
Cache county, Utah, the appointee of
Governor Cutler as the delegate to the
the Dry Farming Congress, is in bet
ter position to prove that dry farming
is seccess than any other attendant
at the convention says the Denver
Post.
For Al years Mr.. Farrell has labored
with the soil of ZOO acres with moth
ing theoretical or visionary about his
work. He simply labored long and
hard, and demonstrated years before
the scientists came into the limelght
with their fanciful theories, that dry
farming would pay, and that it would
continne to do SO indefinitely.
Mr.. Farrell settled on !, 700 acres in
Utah and paid $l.25 an acre. The
land is now worth $3.50 600, and the
profits each year net 1000. There is
not drop of water on foot of his
ground, and his experience is the more
valuable and his story the more re-
liable because of the fact that he has
no land to sell
Mr. Farrell describes his methods as
follows:
81 plow 10 inches deep after break
ing the land and then | usually have
six inches of sub-soil. / use horses
and disc plows altogether. With a
four-gang disc and eight horses | can
plow from eight to ten acres per day,
in a strip half a mile long. The fall
after the stubble is allowed to grow
about two feet high. In the fall that
is turned under, and in this way gets

snow, rain and frost

use different sort of disc than many
of the western farmers. 1t is manu-
factured in Logan City, Utah, and is
known as the six-gang disc. 1t throws
the dirt all one way, leaving no space
for weeds to grow.
''The boy with six horses puts the
harrow on and continues to harrow

HIS METHOD.
"About the LIST of September each
year put on the leveler and level the
earth, the drill in the meantime being
run in front and the seed drilled into
the ground. We SOW wheat at the rate
of 35 or 40 pounds to the acre, and let
it get the next winters precipitation,
and in the spring, when it is two inches
high, take the harrows and tip the
teeth backward at an angle of about 80
degrees, so as not to tear up the soil.
"This method breaks the crust and
pulverizes the soil, and if there are
weeds it will kill them. We generally
harrow it both ways, it gives fresh
life and vigor to the grain. We then
leave it to harvest time.
