DRY FARMING" IN
APPROPRIATE TERM
Professor Campbell
Suggests Chang
ing Name
TO scientific FARMING y
Declaring Arid Land Can Not
Be Farmed; That Scientific
Farming is Wet Farming

Cheyenne, Feb. 25.--"It is just as
essential to save the water from the
ditch as it Is to save the water from
the rainfall" was the warning given
the delegates to the Dry Farming Con
gress by Prof. II. w. Campbell today.
Prof. Campbell was speaking on the
question OF new name for the organ
lzation and suggested the name
Scientific Farming Congress- The
term dry farming he declared,
means nothing. Dry land cannot be
farmed and scientific always means
wet farming. Prof Campbell said that
millions of dollars worth of water was
wasted every year, because farmers
did not understand irrigation. Scien-
tifc farming teaches this also.
Billings, Montana, will be the next
meeting place and the date in Novem-
Der OF this year is to be fixed by the
executive committee, according to the
action taken by the Trans-Missouri
Dry Farming Congress today. The
executive committee recommended
that the words "Trans-Missouri' be
eliminated from the name of the Or
ganization.
