quently relating the principles
on which dry farming is based.
The lack of moisture in the
early part of the season and the
differences in the effect of the
drought Oh the crops as seen on
farms i'll the same neighbOrhood
must have suggested to many
thoughtful farmers that success
in dry farming will rest very
largely on the use of proper
methods.
1t will be impossible in this ar
ticle to go into minute details APP
plicable to every locality, partly
through lack Of knowledge but
mainly because of the great
range in climatic conditions un-
der which people are dry farming
in New Mexico. For example,
in southeastern Eddy county
they are farming at an altitude
of Il little less than 1000 feet and,
have Il growing season of practi-,
cally six months while in ColfaX
county in the Merino valley and
on Johnson's Mesa they are farm
ing at an altitude Of about 5000
feet with a growing season of
scarcely three months. These
differences in climatic conditions
of course influence the kind of
crops grown, time of seeding and
many other matters of detail,

WILLIE DENNEY
DIED SUNDAY LAST

Willie Denney, eldest son of
Mr.. and Mrs. II. NJ. Denny of
this ::city died Sunday afternoon
at four o'clock after a few
weeks attack from pneumonia.
We are informed that heart
trouble was the direct cause of
his death. The funeral services
were held at the NJ. Z. Church,

the body laid to rest in the

ment.

damental principles of getting
the water into the soil and keep
ing it there, and these are two
of the most important problems
that confront the dry farmer.
The past season has shown that
more care must be taken to pre-
serve the moisture that comes
during the winter and early
spring and that it may be neces-
sary to even try to hold over the
moisture from one summer to
the next.
The time and manner of plow-
ing are among the most import
ant factors in storing moisture
and it is worth while in this con-
nection to note the conditions in
regard to the plowIng on the
New Mexico farms at the present
time. The late rains have put
the land in very good condition
for plOwing by the last of August
and early September, but instead
of taking advantage of these fa-
vorable conditions, most Of the
farmers put off their plowing for
various reasons. Some had crops
on the old land and could not get
onto it; others were too busy
with the gathering of their crops
and other matters to begin break
ing sod or other land that could
have been plowed. But, most
important of all, few realized the
Importance of the early blowing;
they thought that any time be-
fore spring would do just as we'll.
The result was that toward the
first of November so much of the
water had evaporated out of the
land, both old and sod, that it

was too dry to ploy well. Not
only was time lost but, worst of
all, much of the moisture that
would have been held over by
proper breaking was now gone,
and he would have been prophet
indeed who could have said just
when there would be moisture
enough to again put the land in
condition for breaking. Fortu-
nately there was Il precipitation
the last of November and, while
the moisture already lost could
not be replaced, the ground was
again put in order for breaking.
Wherever the ground is not fro
zen too hard advantage should be
taken of this last moisture and
as much breaking as possible be
done.
The above statements will pro-
badly raise the questions: Why
lay SO much stress ON summer or
early fall blowing? Why not
wait until spring and seed direct
ly after breaking? The answers
to these questions involve the
whole subject of soil preparation
which is probably the most i'm
portant matter in dry farming
and will require several of these
articles for their discussion.

FEED AND FORAGE
EXHIBITION

Prof. W. IL. Olin of the Colo
RADIO Agricultural College is
arranging the feed and forage
exhibit at the Denver Stock
Show, which opens January 18th.
The object of this exhibition is
to show the grains, forage and
roots used in producing beef,
pork and mutton in the West.
The exhibits will come from all
parts of the West, including
Colorado, Wyoming, Utah and
New Mexico, and are in groups
according to whether they were
raised on irrigated or non-irrigat-
ed lands, and as to whether they
were produced On lands above or
below 1000 feet altitude. Prof
essor Olin writes:
1--WE want the farmers of every
district to help us show out east

the way of producing food for
live stock. We are offering
several hundred dollars in pre-

portunity to let the world know
where you are on the live stock

1861 she was married to William

her to the grave March 26, 1874.
Shortly after their marriage they
came to America, crossing the
ocean in q sailing ship, which
required seven weeks TO make
the voyage. They landed first
at New Orleans, and came on by
way of st. Louis to Brunswick.
They went from here to Iowa,
intending to settle there, but
were not satisfied and returned
to Brunswick where she lived till
the end. She had lived on the
farm where she died since 1861,
having made her home there
with her son, Oswald, since the
death of her husband, which oo-

THE HUDSON RIVER.

The great river which Hudson ex-
plored has had many names. 1t was
called Cahohatea and Skanehtade
Gahunda by the Iroquois, Mahicanituc
or Mahican river by the Mohican IN
dians, and Shatemuc by other IN
dians; Una Grandissima Riviera by
Verazzano (152D, whence Rio
Grande, Riviere Grande and Grand
River; Rio de San Antonio or River
of Saint Anthony by Gomez (1525);
Rio de Gamas by. the Spaniards
(1525-1G00); River Of the Noun
tains by Hudson (1609), or Mon
taigne Rivier on Dutch maps (1615-
1861; River Mandates by De Laet
(1625), or Manhattans Rivier on
Dutch maps (1615-1664); River
Mauritius or Maurits Rivier from
Maurice, Prince Of Orange, during
the Dutch period; and the Mort
Rivier (Dutch period) or North
River (English) to distinguish it
from the South or Delaware River;
Hudson's name has displaced all
these except the North River, which
is applied In limited way to that
portion Of the river opposite the city
Of New York.
The Hudson River is very remark
able in several respects. In the tlrst
place, for $50 miles Of its length 1t Is
not q true river but ford. From
Albany to the ocean its rock bottom,
with the exception Of few islands, Is
below sea-leyel. How far below, Is
not accurately known. Opposite
Storm King Mountain, where the en-
gineers Of the new aqueduct for sup
plying New York City with water
from the Catskills hoped to build
tunnel under the river, they have
bored q thousand feet down into the
dirt and sand that fill the gorge under
the water and have not been able to
find rock bottom. The shore line at
Albany is at practically the same els-
Yation as the shore line ct New York,
and the tide rises at Albany two and
eight-tenths feet. This upward and
downward flowing Of the tide, Of
which Hudson took advantage in his
voyage, had, of course, long been
noticed by the Indians, who spoke OF
the river with wonder as the stream
that flowed both ways.
The river Is also remarkable for
it's great natural beauty. The dis
tinguished German surgeon, DR.. Adolf
I.orenz, while visiting on its shores IN
1902, pronounced it more beautiful
than the Rhine
