 Throughout this local section the cotton is coming along nicely in most places, in fact as well as could be ex- pected with that long continued wet spell Since then the cotton belt weather, although not perfect, never theless has been just about as good as any reasonable minded farmer could hope for and much work has been &C., complished in the fields the past week. The cotton plants need much attention, blowing and hoeing. and where the work has been done, the plant has re- sponded beautifully and is growing rapidly.

BY JOHN T. BURNS.
secretary-Treasurer of the Dry Farm
ing Congress.

ing congress-
Springing from small beginning
three years ago into an economic
movement of world scope, the dry
farming congress, which will meet
at Billings, Mont, for its fourth con-
vention next October, represents one
of the notable formative forces of the
country.
The dry farming congress is an
educational movement whose purpose
is to advance the development of the
so-called arid and semi-arid regions
of the earth. What it has accomplish
ed has convinced many men there is
no land so arid it can not be made
productive and has caused thousands
of thinking men to doubt whether any
land may be regarded seriously as
worthless.
Through the gigantic projects of the
federal reclamation service and the
vast enterprises under private au-
spices, millions of acres in the western
states have been and are being
brought under cultivation by irrigation
But irrigation possibilities are limited
by physical conditions. When all of
the land that can be brought under
the ditch has been reclaimed, there
will remain more millions of acres
that can never be subjugated with ar
tificial streams. 1t is conservatively
estimated that of the 300,000,000 acres
in the so-called arid and semi-arid
portion of the western United States
less than one-tenth is SUSCEPTIBLE to
agriculture by irrigation. 1t is to
teach farmers how to make the remain
ing 80 per cent of this great empire
productive that the dry farming con-
gress aims.
Conservation, cultivation, educa-
ton" is the motto of the congress.
The conservation of moisture in
the ground is the fundamental prin-
cipal of dry farming, or, more proper
ly, arid land agriculture without arti-
fical irrigation. The dry farming con-
gress educates the farmer in intelli-
gent cultivation of the soil so he can
conserve the moisture received b.
natural precipitation and make the
once Stunned desert productive It's
educational work goes further in that,

ENCOUNTERED
SNOWSTORM
IN The AIR
AN UNUSUAL EXPERIENCE OF
AERONAUUTS IN ILLINOIS.
Were Two Miles Above Ground When
Snow Began to Fall.

ST. LOUIS, Mo-, July ga mid
summer snow storm two miles above
the earth caused John Berry, Paul
j. Mccullough and John S. Thurman,
who ascended here last night in the
balloon University City in an at
tempt to capture the Lahm cup, to land
near Savannah, H., today. They trav-
eled 242 miles, mostly through rain.
The attempt to win the cup was
given up after the bag, netting and
basket became SO wet that the gas
would no longer support the weight.
"At one time when We were trying
to get out of the snow storm" said
Captain Berry over the long distance
telephone, 1--WE rose 1000 feet. We
were in rain clouds nearly all ntgn,
and got soaking wet.
AT 7 o'clock this morning, after
I had thrown out ballast we left the
rain cloud and went into snow. At
times the basket swung around like a
TOP. Sleet cut our faces ana we had
to keep brushing snow off the edge
If the basket to prevent its weight
from retarding our flight"
The landing was made in a wheat
ield nine miles north Of Savannah
The distance covered was about 233
niles short of the Lahm cup record
# AS miles, established by Captain
Charles de Forrest Chandler in a
light from st. Louis in October.

PLEADS To
BE PLACED
IN ASYLUM
WOMAN AFFLICTED WITH HON.
ICIDAL INSANITY WANTS HER
CHILD PROTECTED.

CHICAGO, July 27.-The Tribune
has the following from Oakland, Col.
Giving in open court remarkable
analysis of her own dementia, and
asking that she be sent to an asylum
lest she kill her own child, Mrs. Stella
Nelson today furnished one of the
most remarkable lunacy cases ever
heard in this country.
Mrs. Nelson on Wednesday last
asked the attendants at the Emer-
gency hospital to lock her up, bu,
as she seemed rational and no COM
plant had been made against her,
she was advised to go home. She did
so, and next morning her fears were
almost realized, when, during a fit of
her peculiar alteration, she attempted
to cut the throat of her baby with ID
butcherknife.
Today Mrs. Nelson explained 10
Judge Harris and Drs. Buteau and
fits. She said that all her natural in
stincts were overcome by a sudden
thirst for blood Some times the fit
would last but moment, leaving her
weak and shuddering with horror at
the thoughts which had just possessed
her mind. sp7IN
Judge Harris committed Mrs. Nelson
to the asylum at Stockton, and in
making the order declared that the
case was the most peculiar and at the
same time the most pathetic with
which he had to deal
Drs. Buteau and Kelly diagnosed |
her affliction as melanchoIa ana |
though keeping this knowledge from
the woman, said that her feeling that
she was periodically to be mastered
by a sudden desire to kill is one Of
the worst indications that her case
is probably incurable.
Mrs. Nelson is 10 years old only,
and, despite the lines which worry has
eft about her face, is handsome. I'm
Ter normal conditions she displays
Usual AFFECTION for her child. {
