Successful Dry Farm Experiment.
Chinook Opinion.

The experimental dry farm on the
bench south of town, that has aroused
so much enthusiasm among many of
our citizens and considerable skepti-
cism and derision among others, is
fully j~ustifying itself. The expert
ment has Deer carried on under the
most adverse circumstances and In a
season which no one could say vas in
any way favorable. After a winter
with practically no snow and a spring
with the lightest rainfall on record
here, 3.2S inches from September Is,
1907, to July Is, 1908, the winter wheat
was harvested this past week and
threshed out l6a bushels of a good
quality OF wheat to the acre. The
winter rye gave about l3! bushel yield.
In addition to that the spring wheat
and oats, fax and other grains are
ready to harvest and will be reaped
soon. They will all make q crop Of
grain.
There are q lot OF people in this sec.
ton today who have In the past scoffed
at the idea Of raising grain on the
bench lands without irrigation. that
are beginning to have q different
opinion OF the matter now. When q
fair crop can be secured under the ab.
normal conditions Of this year, a nor
NAL season would have meant q yield
easily double or more that secured.
The experiment has proven the fact
that thorough GUILTY. alton of the soil,
according to the Campbell methods,
will retain the moisture in the soil to
carry the growing and ripening crops
over the dry spells and the time of hot
winds. The fertility of the soil on
much of the bench land is undoub.ed
and the lack of certain and heavy
rains is not, as has been shown, a bar
to raising grain if the proper care is
taken of the soil.
The Importance Of the experiment,
to this region cannot be over-esti.
mated. The grain lands Of the future
in this section will be on the benches,
not in the valley. On the irrigated
lands more intensive farming, with
such crops as beets, alfalfa and 9th
ers, will be grown, and the wheat and
other grains will be successfully raised
in immense quantities above the ditch,
where it q be raised in larger guam
titles and much more cheaply.

MILK MAID

So many requests to repeat this
spectacular farce have been made of
Miss Olga White that the w. G. T.
u. have decided to have her repeat it
on next Tuesday night at s o'clock in
Malaga Square, on the East Hill car
line.
The large crowd that witnessed it
last Monday were keptsin a continu-
GUS uproar of mirth from beginning
to end. and were loud in their eX-
pressions of appreciation.
Contrary TO what some expected,
the voices carried perfectly in the
omen air, and the beauty of the milk
maids was enhanced d hundredfOld

which they formed a most attractive
setting. The never-ending variety of
