had been made and was in existence

organization Of the Board of Control
of the Trans-Missouri Dry Farming
Congress this o there Is started
a most important work in the develop
ment history Of the West. A few years
ago so called dry farming began to
attract attention in many sections of
the arid states. Many farmers had been
operating in sections where rainfall
was slight n irrigation impossible
and had been securing splendid results
in many lines of agriculture but there
existed a general belief that such re
suits were but the outcome of tenn po-
rary conditions such as excessive rain
fall n cleverly manipulated small
tracts, and hat no real value or sig
nifcance attached, to these isolated in
stances.
Meantime, Prof. H. M. Campbell of
had been conducting a SER
les of experiments along scientific
lines and had succeeded In making
tests of a rather severe character and
getting crops that proved something
tangible in the way OF demonstrative
argument, giving strength to the OPP

To some extent the Roswell High

with the Artesia High School, when
the locals beat the visitors in a hotly
contested game of base ball at the

was II to 9. Artesia had beaten Ros-
well at Artesia once this fall and the
local High School was thirsting for
revenge. The local school yet has a
defeat at basket ball, by the girls, to
