Senator Aldrich who speaks for the
majority in the senate, have pro-

they will be on Tuesday, in his first

will be acted upon is too much to say.

The Fireman's Day.

The events of Friday are the Fire
mans tournament, the ball game be-
tween Wahpeton and Long Prairie
and in the evening the fireworks.
The Fireman's tournament will con-

fire companies from this district,
which comprises seven counties. By
unwritten rule, the Morris company
does not compete.
The program will be as follows:-
10 a. m.-Parade, largest and best
appearing company, first prize, 500;
second, $40.
100 p. m.-Association hose race,
first price, banner and $50; second,

Sebastian.

The young people of Assumption
parishsin order to accentuate the les
son taught by "Fabiola" will present
Sebastian at the armory on Tues
day and Wednesday evenings June
22nd and 23rd. This play, though like
"Fabiola", covering the days of the
early Christian prosecutions is replete
with dramatic interest of the highest
order. The action is vivid and rapid
and there is not single dull line in
all the scenes.
The example of our Christian fore
bears will ever be an inspiration to us
who owe the blessings of Christian
civilization to their heroism. In these
days when materialism and selfishness
seem to have taken so firm hold on
the hearts of men it is well for us to
renew ourselves from time to time in
this enobling spirit of generosity and
self sacrifice, this learning once again
the sublime lessons the divine Master
has left us as our precious heritage.
1t is incontestable that the drama
wields a powerful influence for good
or evil over the minds and hearts of
men. And here now we have an OPP
portunity of seeing and hearing what
will confirm us in all that is best in us.
Our young actors have given proof
on the. former occasion that under
efficient training and with earnest
work they are fully capable of pre-
senting truthfully and perfectly the
beautiful characters entrusted to them.
Add to this the magnificent costumes
and the splendid stage settings and
you have every requisite for a pro-
fitable evening entertainment. We
feel confident that we are not assum-
ing too much when we assure the
people of Morris that they we'll never
regret having seen "Sabastian."
Moreover their liberal patronage will
be an encouragement for what is in
every detail product of home talent.

STUDY OF DRY LAND FARMING
Government Experts Making Extensive
Investigations at Several Stations
Throughout Country.

The department of agriculture has a
corps of experts whose entire time is
devoted to the study of dry land agri-
culture. They are not carried away by
the enthusiasm which has been mani
tested In some quarters, but they are
convinced that the experiments being
carried on under the general definition
OF dry farming, will result in the addi-
ton to the productive agricultural
area Of the United States of vast
amount of territory.
The region in which these expert.
ments are being made, and in which
the government is making its investi-
cations, Is bounded on the east by the
ninety-eighth meridian; on the north
by the Canadian boundary; on the
south by the thirty,second parallel
which comedies with the southern
boundary Of New Mexico; and on the
west by an irregular line which marks
the contour Of the 500.

of the Rocky mountains. In this vast
territory, larger than Germany, the

methods Of dry land agriculture. These

PRINCIPLES OF DRY FARMING
Importance Of Combination Of Having
Two Crops in Three Years, or
Two In Five.

One might use the following terms
In classifying the different systems of
dry farming: Crop annually, system
where there is crop taken Off of the
soil each year. This could be done
If 18 inches of rainfall was annually
received. When there is but 10
inches of rainfall you could not ex-
pect to get crop each year; then 8
biennial crop system is practiced.
There Is still another method, of prob
ably more Importance, which is a com
hination Of the two systems. That
would be to have two crops in three
years; three crops in five years, or
two crops in one year, one being
catch or cover crop. The last system
is used to furnish humus for the soil,
writes c. w. Hendricks in Orange
Judd Farmer. The system used must be
suited for the district and must be co.
used.
There are three different and dis
ttnct types of water: Free, capillary
and microscopic water. The chief sup
ply of water for dry farming is from
the division known as capillary water.
This capillary water can be conserved
by various methods. The most com
mon one is by blowing the soil ex-
ceedingly deep, and thus forming a
dust mulch. From this deep dust mulch
1t requires a heavier dry gale of
wind to extract the soil moisture.
Then, on the other hand, the rough
ness Of the soil will tend to hold the
snow and materially add to the
amount of rainfall. In other words,
this is gain of average rainfall.
Many other forms are used, such as
planting small windbreaks from
shrub known as NORWOOD This
tends to break the wind and lodge the
snow. Artemisia is also a promising
shrub for this purpose. These small
Windbreaks are planted when the grain
is small. and used to break the wind
and hold the soil around the roots in
order that there is no exposure to the
air. 1t has been said that many crops
are lost by the negligence Of the own
er in not having these wind-breaks.
The wind is held high, and the soil
particles. such as small sand, gravel
and fine dirt. are carried above the
crop, and do not destroy the root sys-
TEN. Almost any Of the cultivated
crops require from 800 to 500 tons of
water for every ton of dry matter pro.
duced. Approximately one inch OF
rainfall will amount to over 113 tons
per acre.
A question that is often asked is,
What implements are used to sue
cessfully carry on a system of dry
farming? A stirring pillow, subsoil
pillow, subsurface packer, roller, hoe
drill or seeder, disk surface cultivator,
acme harrow, tooth harrow. weeder,
harvester and thresher are the most
important

OPEN AIR ORCHARD HEATING
How Fruit Crop Of 1909 of Grand Val.
ley in Colorado Was Saved
from Frost.

The 1909 crop of fruit in the Grand
Valley in Colorado, from the Pals,
AIDES above to Iona below, valued at
100000, owes its existence to
unique battle which was waged
against Jack Frost at time when the
fruit was at its tenderest age, says
Scientific American. BY unusual gen.
eralship and the work of hundreds of
enthusiastic volunteers the tempera-
ture in these orchards was actually
raised eight and nine degrees over q
miles of territory and precedent was
established which will mean much to
the future.
In California it is said that the tenn
perature has been raised heretofore in
some single orchards two or three de-
grees, but never to eight degrees, and
never before has the work been car,
rfed on over 80 great an cara. Plans
are now on foot to have every bearing
orchard i'll the Grand Valley protected
by next season, not that there is any
likelihood of frost every spring in this
section, but because the protection of
this years experience is considered
cheap insurance.
The raising of the temperature over
this large area was accomplished by
means Of some 100000 smudge pots Of
many different types, some burning oil
for fuel and some coal, and placed at
intervals in the orchards. Oil was
carried to the pots in wagon tanks
equipped for the purpose. Spraying
machines were also used in distribu-
ting the oil. A large supply of light
ers was kept in readiness in dry
place. Many of these lighters were
made by wrapping waste about
twisted wire.
All operations were directed from
Grand Junction. Weather stations es.
tablished over much of the territory
and equipped with thermostats when
the threatening weather arrived made
half-hourly reports on the tempera.
ture to Grand Junction. When, final,
ly, the danger point was approaching
warning was sent to all the ranchmen
to light the fires. Volunteers also in
nearly all walks of life made their
way in automobiles and wagons and
on bicycles over the entire area.
So well did this orchard-heating
idea work that, while the temperature
outside the heated area dropped as
low as 20 degrees, within the heated
area it did not go below 291k. Seven
ty-five per cent. of all the fruit trees
which were in bloom were cared for
directly, while even orchards owned
by those who were skeptical of the
idea were saved by the fires of the adj
joining territory.

The accompanying illustration gives
a good idea of practical spraying
platform which has been in use for
years, with much success. The roof
is not shown, and while desirable, is
not necessary. The enclosed part is
ten by sixteen feet, seven feet above
the ground, with an open platform
three by twelve feet, and three feet
below the level of the rest. About the
only use we make of this platform is
transferring barrels Of lime and sacks
of copper sulphate, etc, from the
wagon to the mixing platform, where
the difference in level is a great con-
venience, enabling two men to handle
barrel of lime easily, and in filling
the wagon tank this low platform en-
ables a man to handle the hose from
the mixing tanks without getting into
a tortuous position.
The water supply tank is set four
feet above the platform level, and in
one corner out of the way. This may
hold 800. 400 or 500 gallons. Close to
