DRY FARMING
 IN COCHISE COUNTY
Douglas Chamber of Con-
 merCe Is Boosting It,

DOUGLAS. May 2S.-(SpeciaL)- )- Dry farming is a subject which is bound, sooner or later, to engross the attention of the people of Cochise cOun- ty, and to none will it be more vitally interesting than to the people of Doug las. situated so strategicaIIy with re- spect to the fertile Sulphur Springs val | ley.
 In the great amount of attention that we must bestow upon smelters and mines, this neglect of the great agricultural possibilities is not to be wondered at But of late there have been the most gratifying signs of an ! awakening on the part of the people of this community to the great bene- fits that would accrue to Douglas from
 the successful adoption of this system of cultivation in the valley. Already no small part of the garden
 truck consumed in Douglas comes | from the ranches of the sturdy pion- eers of the valley at cur threshold,
 and it is to be hoped that the lesson they have taught will not be lost on
 the people of this city. Dry farming on large scale in the
 Sulphur Springs valley would au9
 ment the prosperity of Douglas to a degree scarcely conceived of at the present time.
 Let's all boost for and discuss the
 subject of dry farming.
 Later that most efficient of Douglas
 public institutions, the Chamber of
 Commerce. may take the matter up in | earnest; and if it does, good results and great benefits 70 Douglas will Do l inevitable.
 Secretary Gerhart of the Chamber of
 Commerce has already addressed him
 self to this subject and is entitled to
 the hearty support of the organization
 It means much to every citizen of
 this section.
