Dry Farming

Snowflake, Ariz. Nov. 30, 1908 Dear Sir
 What is the average size of the farms in your neighbOrhoOd? Is that as much as a farmer can manage properly with modern implements? Does 1t occupy all his time? Does it make for him an independent living and a sur plus for a rainy day.? Is there abundant opportunities for new corners?
 If the last four questions can not be answered afflrmatively, conditions must be improved and new possibilities opened up or the farmer must seek employment elsewhere, which many are al ready doing. The irrigated area of this section IS and must be very limited, but to the dry far mer the possibilities arejust open ing up.
 For many years the dry farm ing has been carried on more or less successfully in the timber belt of these Northern counties, indicating to an optimistic mind that under scientific principles and application the broader prairie country, where the rain fall is very nearly as great, may be developed into a farm produc- ing area.
 Dry farming is becoming more and more practical in all this western country, and from na- tural observation ours is as well adapted to the growing of crops as many other successful sections.
 Since the visit last summer of Prof R. w. .Cloth1er of the Arizo- na Experiment Station, this branch of industry has received new impetus. The Professor made careful examinations of many parts of this section, talk ing samples of soil, moisture and

opinion that there are two hun dred fifty thousand acres of land in Navajo and Apache~cOunt which can be successfully culti- vated.
 Considerable scientific expert ment work must be done before business men will venture on a project ot this kind. To be sure some practical experiment work has been done but generally by men who were not financially able to stand a succession of fail ures-which has often occurred before a thorough demonstration of success; consequently others who had means have not been tempted to take up the work where 1t was left off and prove a success out of another failure.
 In view of all these facts and conditions a Dry Farm Associa- tion was organized i'll Snowflake, Arizona, NOvemDer 15, 1908, with a membership of twenty farmers and a Board olive Direc- tors, viz: John Bushman. Lehi Howard, Smith D. Rogers, E. D. Solomon and Samuel F. Smith. Membership fee was fixed at fifty cents.
 The object and purpose of this organization is to attempt some experiment work on small scale, and more especially to ap- peal to the Ar1zOna Legislature to make an appropriation to the Arizona Experiment. Station for the purpose of establishing in 1 Northern Arizona branch eX- pertinent station By this means the soil can be analysed. the rain fall recorded and genenral weath- conditions watched and expert ments made with the kind of crops best adopted to these con- ditiOnS.
 All this would demonstrate and open up the possibilities of dry farming in this section, which if proven successful would deve- lope into our greatest industry and attract settlers and capital.
 If you feel at all interested in this matter-give it a little at tention, join the Assoclation and lend your aid and influence to this worthy cause
 Remember that in union there is strength"
