OFFICIAL TOUR
OF DRY FARMS

by Results Attained
in Utah.
SUCCESS is DEMONSTRATED
DROUGHT RESISTANT GRASSES
GIVE REMARKABLE RESULTS.

Professor Lewis A. Merrill. agronomist
In charge of arid farming from the Utah
experiment station. has just returned
from a tour of inspection of the dry farms
of the state. Professor Merrill was ac-
companied by DR.. l.. J. briggs, soil ply

agriculture, Washington. ID. c.; Profess

partment of agriculture. and DR.. f. D..
Ball. director of the Utah experiment sta
ton. These gentlemen visited the state
experimental arid farms in Iron, Wash
ington, Juab. ToOele and Sewer counties.
They were very enthusiastic over the
work in progress. and DIR. Briggs eX-
pressed himself as being most highly de-
lighted. saying that he believed the work
undertaken in the reclamation of the des-
ert lands here in the state excelled any
similar undertaking In any OF the states
with which he is familiar. The farm at
Enterprise, down In Washington county,
will yield at least thirty-five bushels of
wheat per acre, and similar results were
given for the Tooele and Juab county
farms. At Sewer county the experiment

Wilson before he was sent to the re-

for over a month. AS soon as he reached
the institution his hair was clipped as is
customary with new inmates. He was put
to work with others digging a canal
When he went to work. in the sun, he was
half sick, he says, and could not stand
it. He was told that unless he worked
he would not be fed He rebelled and was
classed as a bad man.
He says his hair was clipped the second
time within month contrary to the usual
procedure and he was denied the privi-
lege of attending the picnic in the can

Gained 20 Lbs. on Grape-Nuts.

There's a wonderful difference be-
tween a food which merely tastes good
and one which builds up strength and
good, healthy flesh.
1t makes no difference how much we
eat unless we can digest it 1t is moi

VIA drought resistant grasses has been
remarkably successful. Broom grass, to
the height of thirty inches, completely
covers the ground there and the results
thus far secured demonstrate beyond any
doubt the feasibility of ultimately re-
calming the desert with this drought re-
sistant crop.
At Nephi the government is cooperating
with the state, conducting experiments
having in view the Introduction of hun
dreds of varieties of wheat, etc. The
crops of flax, sugar beets. potatoes. corn.
oats, barley. lucern and emmer. are SO
successful that il can no longer be said
that wheat is the only profitable dry
farm crop.
The gentlemen also visited the extern
sive farm belonging to the Utah Arid
Farm company at Nephi This company
is now harvesting some 200 acres Of
wheat with their combined harvester.
which is being pulled over the fields by
a 1l0-horse-power traction engine. Thls
company is harvesting 200 acres of wheat
and have 1900 acres more already pre-
pared for planting next year. They are
following the proper system of dry farm
ing cropping the land only every other
season. Their wheat should yield close
to twenty-five bushels per acre, so that
il can be seen that this enterprise is a
mammoth one. The gentlemen also WIS.,
tied the extensive dry farms In Salt Lake
county. and last evening left for Logan.
where they will inspect the dry farms
in Cache county.
Dr. Briggs paid a very high compliment
to the officers of the Utah experiment
station, saying that he believed that In
no other state were the station officials
in closer touch with the farmers OF their
state than in Utah. The work begun some
time ago by DR.. Widtsoe and Professor
Merrill is bearing results worth thousands
of dollars to the people of the state. Dr.
Briggs regards the work as being past
the experimental stage, and thinks that a
greater effort should be made to get the
farmers to adopt the methods advocated
by the station.

 Much of shirley's g;rlhood had been spent in the Virginia hills. where Judge Claiborne had long maintained refuge from the heat of Washington. From childhood she had read the calendar of spring as it is written upon the land seape itself. Her fingers found by in. stinet the first arbutus. She knew where white vielets shone first upon the rough breast of the hillsides. and particular patches of rhododendron had for her the intimate interest of pri- vate gardens
