The Campbell, Cult

Those wise old Egyptians who lived
in the time of Moses and could do arch
itectural stunts that still amaze US,
who knew almost as many secrets of the
stars as we with our fine telescopes and
higher mathematics do to day, also knew
a thing or two about raising crops that
solved problems which have puzzled
hundreds OF generations since. Recent
ly discovered Egyptian carvings and in
scriptions have proved that long before
the Christian era, the farmers made the
almost rainless lands of the desert yield
abundantly without irrigation and the
methods they used we're almost identical
with those by which the settlers on the
plains have been recently reclaiming
part of our own billion acres of semi
arid land. Those ancients knew the
value of packing the soil to retain moist
ure, although they used the hoof beats
OF the herds instead of our subsoil pack
ing machine. They understood the
value OF the soil mulch and systematic
tillage to a nicely. So that-alas for
our pride-we find that one Of our most
precious and potential discoveries, winch
it has taken US fifty or sixty centuries
to make, is after all but rediscovery.
This does not detract from the values Of
the find, however. Dry farming, as it is
Cdiieu, HAS opeucu W CuitiNdtlou at
least 7OO,0OO,0O0 acres of hitherto useless
land in the United States alone. The
dry farming method has become famil-
lar throughout the west in the last five
years. Mr.. Campbell now says there is
no such thing as dry farming and calls
it intensive farming, but the average
man thinks it may fairly be called dry
when he sees the fields green and -four
ishing without watering through the
long hot summers Of the plains. II he is
not a farmer he thinks the means, when
it is explained to him. too absurdly sim
Pile to do the business, while the old time
farmer, with his fixed idea OF tillage that
had done for him nigh on thirty years
simply cannot fathom the mystery. Twen-
ty-fve years ago Mr.. Campbell was a
small and not especially successful farmer
in Brown county, South Dakota. He
had gone there in 1879 from Vermont
There we're years OF drouth and years OF
of plenty. In the former he shared with
his neighbor an almost total loss. In
the others he found is hard to make up
for the failures. Having large family

John Wanamaker once said: IF there
is one enterprise "quitter" should leave
severely alone it is advertising. To
make a success of advertising one must
be prepared to stick TO it like barnacle
on ship bottom. He should know be-
fore he begins that he must spend money
lots of it. Somebody should tell him,
also that he cannot hope to reap results
commensurate with his expenditures

thousand spasmodic, jerky pulls will not
bulge the load, while one half the pow
