ESSENTIALS OF
DRY FARMING
NOTED AGRONOMIST SPEAKS
AT DRY FARM CONGRESS
". NJ. Jardinc Appeals for Perma-
ncBt Settlers on Grain Tracts of the
West-Urgcs Raising OF Livestock
in Connection With Soil Tilllng.

The following is an abstract of an
address on 1.-THE Essentials of Success
in Dry Land Farming" delivered by
w. NJ. Jardine, agronomist in charge
OF the dry land grain Investigations
department Of agriculture, at the
Fourth Dry Farming Congress yes
terday
During the last three years I have
been connected with the United States
department of agriculture in the in
vestigation Of dry land grains, and
this has given me exceptional oppor-
tunities to become familiar with the
needs growth and development of our
dry lands in all parts of the west.
MY observations have convinced
me that of the thousands of people
locating on these lands less than 30
per cent have any serious intention
of remaining as permanent home
builders. These temporary settlers
will inflict an additional hardship up
on every well-mean SETTER who files
upon homestead for the purpose
of making It his home. OF the 30
per cent or less. who are endeaVor-
ing to develop their claims, few IN
deed have the necessary money with
which to equip their farms and to
provide food and shelter for their
families even until the first crop be
produced. Consequently, many fall-
ures are occurring each year because
of the inability of the average home
stader to properly work his land.
Lack of money probably is the cause
of more failures among our dry-farm-
ers than the natural conditions of the
country itself
"Ths past season. however. has
witnessed more farmers succeeding
than ever before. New settlers nave
been able to secure employment from
well-established farmers who needed
help and could afford 1t. Practical
experience in this way mas been ac-
cessible TO those in need-a condition
which did not exist two or three years
ago.
"The men who are taking home
steads now understand the require
ments of dry farming better than did
the pioneers. They are also better
nrovided with money than was for
merly the case.
"Much assistance can yet be given
IN the new and old settlers alike.

manent, substantial growth of the

ADVERTISING THAT REACHES

As an example of what can be accom- plished. last Sundays issue of the Wichita Eagle is furnished, wherein MT Ross has an interview of consider able length as well as a two column eight inch pen ink sketch of himself. While the sketch is hardly a true like ness of Uncle Billy" in that it shows him with waxed mustache, pompadour dressed hair, both of which are char acteristics never noticed while he was a residence of this plice. However the point in question is not whether MT. Ross is good looking or not but that he is a good advertiser and he is doing lots of it.

 The telegram was received here Sat urday morning and immediately the above named officers began a still hunt for their man. The first began a systematic search through the Mex ican settlement in the north part of town but were unsuccessful. They finally separated and enlarged the size of their drag net Velasco was cited near the mill on Main street where he was arrested without difficulty. The man. however, was not surprised when the officer acquainted him with the complaint with which he was charged. The officer ventured the opinion that probably Velasco had escaped from jail The prisoner vigorously denied that he had broke jail but when he was asked if he hadn't escaped from the officers he replied that it might have been something like that.
 Velasco is a man about thirty-five years of age. He for a time, had quite a bunch of cattle on the Verde. He has been around Mesa considerably and has never given the officers any trouble whatever.
