WORLD LOOKS NOW TO DRY FARMING.

Dry farming, quickly defined
is the art of raising grain, fruit
and vegetables on lands hitherto
considered arid, and of no value
excent for sheep grazing" said
John F. Burns, secretary-treas-
ure of the Dry Farming Con-
gress, who Is spending a few
days in Portland. Not only the
United States, but a large por-
ton of the whole world is inter-
ested in dry farming, and at our
convention at Cheyenne a few
weeks ago, representatives from
Canada, Mexico, Siberia, Austria
liza and the Transvaal were inter-
ested participants. The growing
population of the world demands
that these hitherto neglected
acres be made to produce and the
area of arid lands devoted to
farming will grow rapidly from
year to year
In dry farming, a region in
which less than eight inches of
moisture falls is of little use,
but where the rainfall or snow
fall amounts to more to than
eight inches good crops Of grain
and fruit are being successfully
grown at this time.
For wheat, | would recon-
mend plQwing in the fall to q
depth of at least ~ inches; then
following up with the harrow in
the same direction as the plow.
IN few week another harrow
ing would be in order, and
through the year would harrow
frequently in order to have the
soil retain all the moisture in the
atmosphere that could be obtain
ed. In the fall would plant red
winter wheat, and when this was
up a few inches / would run a
harrow over it to tear out a GER
tain portion Of the plants.

rowing process, | have known GO

arid regions by such a process,

SIX INDICTED FOR FENCING.

Six indictments charging fraud
ulent fencing of public lands in
Oregon were returned by the
federal grand jury, says the
Portland Journal. The princi-
pal defendant is William Hanley,
alleged to have fenced for his
own use" some 80, acres of
government land in Harvey
county. The Indictment further
says that Hanley refused to give
other persons access to the land
for the purpose of settlement,
and that he even excluded them
from crossing the tract to lands
lying beyond.
Similar indictments chraging

found against 0. C. Jennings,

The editor of this religious
weekly has known William Han
ley for about twenty-five years,
during which time he has never
known him to do anything that a
gentleman would be ashamed of,
and knows that he has done more
to induce settlement Of this
county and to bring capital in 20
develop the country and has done
more in the way of development
of the country himself than any
other one man; and instead OF
fencing up the public land has
been building canals. bitches and
telephones and causing many
thousand dollars to be paid out
annually for labor and stock; and
thereby making many happy
homes. Whatever is thought Of
Mr.. Hanley away from home he
can console himself with the
knowledge Of being loved and
respected at home where he is
best known.

AS you read on you felt glad that
Charles had told his father exactly
how it was the sheep got into the

If that same pride and regard for
the truth still fingers in your mind
you may feel glad that it is so. For
those who have formed this impress
sion have a conscience that will not
direct them amiss. Daily temptations
arise in which an untruth might cas-

honest. noble, upright men and
