SCIENTIFIC
SOIL CULTURE
WHAT 1T MAY MEAN TO SOUTH
WEST TEXAS.
Wonderful Possibilities Are Claimed
By Fl. w. Campbell, An Expert In
Dry Farming-Only Economic Out
lay Required.

Wonderful possibilities that lie
hidden beneath the soil of Southwest
Texas can easily be transformed into
real. live, growing evidences OF
wealth and prosperity This is the
way H. w. Campbell, probably the
hest informed man in the United
States on dry farming, expressed him
self on his arrival in San Antonio yes
terday, says the Express. He comes
to present to the farmers of South
west Texas his experienees-wrought
views on scientific Soil Culture.
Away back in 1888 Mr. Campbell
first demonstrated the marked in
crease that was possible by the adop-
ton and application of scientific prin-
ciples in the tilIage of the common
soil. But it took years of hard labor
to separate the right from the wrong
methods. He says that the twenty
five years that have interviewed be-
tween that start and the present time
have developed the fact beyond the
shadown of doubt that the methods
which he intends to present to South
west Texas farmers will produce good
crops where none have been
grown, better crops where good
ones have been grown, and the
highest possible production after
the soil shall have had NUM-
Der of years of treatment in order
to bring it up to its gratest yielding
strength.
Not only is this true of the dry
! lands where no rain falls or not
enough to count, he says, but the
the increased production that follows
our scientific treatment OF the soil is
proven to operate advantageousiy IN
| the irrigated sections. For instance,
a tract of land subject to proper irri-
CATION will not only be brought UP
to It's highest state of productiveness
by our methods-increasing invaria-
bly, the results without it-but this
perfection of production Will be Sc
cured with one-third the water, thus
decreasing the cost of irrigation by
just so much.
Another very satisfactory thing
about this scientific cultivation Of
the soil, as comprehended by Mr.
Campbell's plan, is that it does mo-
require the outlay by the farmer o.
large sums of money for special ma
chinery for the carrying out of the
system of which he is the advocate.

That switching on Norfolk avenue

to the city council last night by Coun
