MANY DRY FARMS
PLANNED ~ SANTA Fc RAIL
ROAD SYSTEM.
UNDER CAMPBELL SYSTEM
TO Instrue. Farmers and New Set
tiers In Dry Land culture-Wili Be
Located in Several States and Ter
ritory Ct New Mexico.

The Santa Fe railroad system has
formulated a plan for establishing
demonstration farms along It's lines IN
THE various states included in the arid
West. These farms will be conducted
for the purpose OF instructinE the
turner's and prospective settlers IN the
system OF dry land culture. n con
tract has already been closed with
Henry w. Campbell OF Bethany, Ne
braslSa, 10 supervise the work on these
farms. These farms will be located IN
western Kansas, eastern Colorado, Ok'
iahoma, Texas, New Mexico and prob
ably California, wherever sufficient CO
operation can be secured from the clu-
gems.
The great possibilities OF the dry
land system OF farming rs a means OF
reclaiming the arid West and furnish
Ing homes TO thousands upon thous-
,ands OF settlers have been the moving
consideration in carrying out this plan,
In securing Mr. Campbell 20 take
charge OF this work the Santa Fe has
been particularly fortunate. tnasmuch
as his scientific methods OF soil cul-
ture have never yet failed TO produce
crops in sections where the annual
rainfall is as much as twelve inches.
For the eastern farmer who desires
TO come west and practice the Camp
bell system OF soil culture there are
many new things to be learned This
need will be filed by these demonstra-
ton farms. To these the farmer can
go and become thoroughly acquainted
with the methods OF ulling the soil
necessary TO retain the moisture in
sufficient quantities 10 insure the grow
ing and maturing crop against drought
Farmers who settle near these farms
will have the benefit OF all the eNper-
iments that are conducted anywhere
along the system, and II they follow
closely tho methods taught they can
be assured a good crop each year
Eastern Colorado will be In posi-
tion to profit greatly by this system OF
demonstration farms. Already a simi-
lar farm has been started at Eads on
the Missouri Pacific. under the super
vision o. government experts. With
another farm In the valley along the
line of the Santa Fe. there will be am.
pie demonstration OF what can be done
with this land working under sCisn-
tific methods. While there ara Still
abundant opportunities In the ArSal-
sas valley for settlers 20 secure good
irrigated lands. the success 1f his
rroiect will Increase the area avail
able for purposes OF cultivation b.
many hundred per cent. and EiI mean
tnat within the next decade this sec
tion OF Colorado will have malT times
