Crops of cotton and corn in this Sec

work For ten days there has been an
absence Of rain and the farmers have
taken advantage OF the splendid wealth

corn is rapidly maturing. Planters re-
port that both crops have responded

per cent better than last week. The
crops in the basins and bottoms COW

ion OF the planters that cotton will be
short as compared with last year, and
the most hopeful do not see at present
more than a SIS to 70 per cent crop. The
yield depends largely, however. on the

CROPS REQUIRE LITTLE RAIN.
Dry Farming Brings Large Results
in Stnte of Idaho.

Billings. Mont. Oct. 16.-Returns are be-
ing received from farmers in all parts
of the West by the statistician Of the
Dry Farming Congress In response to
the requests recently sent out for In
formation regarding methods and results
OF dry farming The data received in
this manner will be Incorporated in a
report which will be presented at the
fourth session Of the congress at Bill
ings. Mont. October 26-2S. and will be
published In the annual report. or Hand
book Of Information. by the congress.
Among the many reports received. one
from Homer I. Clark. OF Boise. Idaho,
is interesting. Mr.. Clark states that the
precipitation in his district is 1A52 inches
according to the government records for
ten years. About 500 acres Of dry land
is under cultivation In Ada County, in
which Boise is located. but there are
. 900 or more acres possible Of develop
ment by these methods Of farming. The
greatest rainfall occurs in December,
January. February and March. An
nual cropping is practiced. Dry farm
ing has been practiced ten or fifteen
years and rye and potatoes have been
the crops most successfully eAOWh- MI
Clark makes the following suggestions
for dry farmers, based upon his ex-
perience:
Pillow deep: leave the ground as open
and rough as possible during the time
Of greatest precipitation; work the
ground down smooth and compact as
soon as 1t will do in the spring after
the moisture period is over. Do not al
low the surface Of the ground to be-
come baked or packed. Plant as early
as you can get a fair growth and cul-
tivate often and thoroughly and, for
potatoes, cultivate Deep.
