LOOK NOW TO DRY
FARMING
Method of CuItivating Lands
Hitherto Considered Arid.

DRY farming, quickly defined, is
the art of raising grain, fruit and vege-
tables on lands hitherto considered
arid, and of no value except for sheep
grazing" announces John F. Burns,
secretary treasurer of the Dry Farm
ing congress. mot only the United
States, but a large portion of the
whole world is interested in dry farm
ing, and at our convention at Chey-
enne few weeks ago, representa-
tives from Canada, Mexico, Siberia,
Australia and the TransNaal were in
terested participants. The growing
population of the world demands that
these hitherto neglected areas be made
to produce and the area of arid lands
devoted to farming will grow rapidly
from year to year.

said that while there were several COM

Relatives of the family dispute this
entirely, however. and declare that the

that Mrs. Fricke was examining the

had happened the gun had been dis
charged. Thinking she had killed her
husband. she turned the weapon on her
