Dry Farming
An exchange in speakinI

AL eAcuauSe III epcdkluS Vi
dry farming says:
Dry farming may be considered
the second important stage in the
agricultural development of this
western region. Irrigation was
the first. Dry farming, though
no longer merely an experiment,
is moi as widely known as the i'm
portance of the subject demands.
The object Of that method of farm
ing is to utilize the precipitation
in the arid region to the best pos
sible advantage and it is really as
tonishing to learn of the results
obtained.
According to bulletin issued
from the Nebraska experiment
station, the work at the North
Platte substation has now contin-
ued through three seasons. By
tilling the soil two years for one
crop, that is, tilling without crop
ping one season in order to save
the rainfall of two seasons for one
crop, such results as thirty to for
ty bushels of corn we're obtained,
we are told, on the high. table
lands of south part of the North
Platte farm. OF more immediate
Importance were the experiments
with hay and pasture grasses,
such as bronze grass and alfalfa,
both Of which were grown with
such success as to promise well
for dairying in that region. The
station has taken an interest,
moreover, IN the dissemination of
seeds Of crop varieties best adapted
to semi-arid conditions.
Another epoch in farming will,
we presume, be established when
farmers decide cooperate for the
better utilization of the immense
regions of land that can be cult
waited by the methods Of dry farm
ing This suggestion now comes
from the east. The Boston Trans
cript says that rural conference
was recently held in Massa
chusetts IN the interest of improved
methods. AT that conference the
most practical suggestion was one
recommending cooperation. Large
tracts Of land, it was said should
be farmed under a single admins
tratlon. The advantage of such a
departure would be two fold. 1t
would be easier to get farm help,
because men could be employed
in gangs and they are obtainable
in that manner when they are not
singly. Furthermore, it would
be possible to place educated
farmers of business and executive
ability at the head of each com
bine. By intelligent cooperation
farmers could accomplish much
more than they do when each one
is digging in his own small tract
of land. They could buy expen-
sive agricultural machinery and
reap the benefits of the most mod
ern Inventions. 1t is doubtful
whether the soil can ever be made
to yield according to its full ca
pacity, until it is cultivated by |
men who understand co-opera-
ton.

ton 677. Idaho political code,

VOTING CONTEST WILL HAVE
MUCH WORK THIS WEEK,

The 100 per cent increase on all
subscriptions in vogue has stimulated
the contestants up to a point where
great things must be expected, and

ders turned in before the expiration
of this offer will count for twice as

putting forth their best efforts. Never

the contestants increase their re-

"eyerlastingly at it, for these next
few days will be the ones to carry
eff the honors. All indications point
to the fact that the race will be a
very close one, indeed, and it may
mean the efforts of a few hours
extra work that win these handsome
prizes
OF course everyone in the race
knows Just what the prizes ara and
realize the immensity Of this project,
but there are many who perhaps do
not appreciate the real value Of all
the prizes. Where else could you Sc
cure a prize such as the fine auto
mobile which The News is giving
away in SUCH a short length Of time
and with 50 little effort? Special at
tention is called to scholarships, four
of which are to be given as second
prizes. The winners Of these will be
fortunate in having them in the best
business college of the state. a
scholarship in a well-known college
would be worth a considerable effort
to secure and a course through it
would have tendency to be life
long benefit.
The News has the reputation Of
never doing things half way, and the
proposition Of giving to the young
ladies of Brunswick the aboye-named
prizes only serves to strengthen their
reputation. Never before in Bruins.
