ARIZONA WILL OPERATE AN
EXPERIMENTAL DRY FARM
(Tueson Citiaen.)

The experiment of applying the
methods Of dry farming to the soils
of the sulphur Springs valley has been
started under the supervision OF the
Arizona university This beginning
has been made possible by endowment
OF the agricultural department of the
university by DR.. James Douglas, of
the Phelps Dodge interests. The ranch
OF Edward Bower. eighteen miles
northwest Of Douglas has been chosen
for the dry farming experiment to be
made under the direction OF the uni
versity professors who We're in the
valley several days last week for the
purpose Of choosing the exact location
for the experimental work. Professors
Forbes and Clothier, the latter hav-
ing charge OF farm work in hand by
the university, are both convinced that
the sulphur Springs valley soils and
conditions come nearer meeting condi-
tons found In Nebraska and Wyoming
where much has already been accom-
plished in dry farming. the producing

the aid Of artificial irrigation. than
