FUTURE OF
DRY FARMING
Great Results Expected
By Secretary Jas.
Wilson.

Though much pleased with the
success that has thus far attended
dry farming in the west Secretary
Wilson of the Department Of Ag-
riculture believes that this particu-
lar method of cultivatlng crops is
destined to meet with much greater
success in the future that it bias
heretofore says a Washington dis
patch. As the method of dry farm
ing becomes better understood, and
as suitable crops are introduced in
to this country, better results are
bound to follow, he says.
While in Wyoming and Idaho
this summer, Secretary Wilson
took great delight in inspecting dis
tricts where dry farming 0 is in
progress. W hat he saw satisfied
him that dry farming has come to
stay, and that it is the purpose of
the department to encourage it as
much as possible. Considerable aid
in that direction has already been
given; a number of crops, notably
grams, have been discovered abroad
which are peculiarly adapted to dry
farm culture But he is not con.
tent with such discoveries az have
been made. Agents of the depart
mentare in Siberia Tukestan and
elsewhere in Asia searching for new
crops which can profitably be
grown in the semi arid regions OF
the west without the aid of irriga-
tion. One of their recent discov-
cries is a variety of alfalfa that will
grow under such conditions, an
alfalfa which, in the high, dry belt
of Siberia, yields two crops year
and in addition furnishes pasture
for brief period. The secretary
has high hopes that this brand Of
alfalfa will prove adaptable to our
western states.
But before any of this alfalfa
seed is distributed to American
farmers it will be tried out by the
department to determine whether
or not it is suitable to dry farm
culture in the semi arid region of
the west.

new METHODS
OF FARMING
Being Adopted by Bear
Lake County's Ag-
riculturiS4S.

A representative of the Examiner
dropped into the office of the G. w.
q M. Co. Tuesday morning and
found Manager Burrell busy max
ing up orders for different classes
of farm machinery for next years
business.
GAS an illustration of the COM
pany's increase in business at this
point and the different methods Of
farming today as compared with
five years ago, said Mr.. Burrell,
"we are today ordering % disc
harrows for next years trade, while
five years ago we did not sell more
than three of these harrows in a
season. The farmers are using
more scientific methods in the culti
vation of their land today than they
did a few years ago and they have
learned that the disc harrow is one
of the very best tools made for the
cultivation of dry farms and other
purposes.
''As further evidence of the great
increase in dry farm acreage in the
territory covered by the Montpelier
house | might state" said Mr.. Bur
rell, "that we sold nineteen head
.ers this season for use in heading
dry land grain. Nine threshing
outfits were also sold in this terri
tory this season."

Statement BY
MAYOR JONES
Regarding Extent Of Smallpox and
Precautions to Prevent its
Spreading.

On account of the many ex-
aggerated and distorted stories be-
ing circulated broadcast by parties
misinformed regarding the cases
of smallpox in the city Of
Montpelier, the city council deems
it wise to inform the public in gen
eral that no danger is to be ante
ipated from this disease as there
are only six or eight cases in the ci.
ty and they are of very mild type
and among children. They are
under rigid quarantine and every
precaution is being taken to secure
safety to the people. The city coun-
Gil has also deemed it prudent and
wise, in order that the disease may
be held in its present limited extent,
to close for a short time all schools,
theatres and places of amusement
and stop all public gatherings OF
whatsoever kind. The children Of
the town will be prevented from
commingling together on the streets
and other places and will be KEEP
at their respective homes.
With the limited extent of thu
disease at present and the saf,
guards thrown out to prevent III
further spread, there is no NOR,
danger to the public in visiting
Montpelier at this time for th,
transaction of business or for an
other purpose than there has beer
at any time in the past.

SOUTH OMAHA
MARKET REPORT

There has been a liberal run of
cattle here this week, but the pro-
portion of good killing steers has
been disappointly small. The trade
has consequently been strong for
anything of this sort. The short
age in beef steers has had the effect
of stimulating the inquiry for good
cows and heIfers and these have
also sold strong during the week.
The first half of the week witnessed
a good inquiry for stockers and
feeders and they sold steady and
strong. Look for liberal run next
week, but believe good killing
kinds will hold up all right.
Good to choice killing steers are
quotable at S5 to So; fair to good
81. so to IS, good to choice heavy
feeders $5 to $500 fair to good
$4.75 to SIS; good TO choice light
and medium weights "a to $3.50;
fair to good SO. 65 to $50; good to
choice COWS and heifers 1915 to
s4.25.
We have had liberal run of
sheep this week, but the trade has
generally held up in good shape.
Good killing lambs are quotable at
SO. .25 to 1896; yearllngs $4.G5 To
So. 10; weathers 81 to $4.25; ewes
SO. 10 to 81. lJ; feeding lambs s..
Ito $6.s5; yearlings $3.50 to IS.

luton proving most effective being
arsenic of lead.
The institution is canning most
of its fruit product this season
owing to the scarcity of the fruit
crop, and the expectation of very
high prices before the next fruit
season.
About thirty acres of the asylum
farm was planted this year to vege-
tables, such as potatoes, carrots,
mangles, onions, beans, squash,
lettuce, tomatoes, egg plant, as.
paragus, satisfy, oyster plant and
table beets.
Some figures which DIR. Hoover
gave as to the yield will be of in.
terest: 1 acres of onions from the
seed 100 bushels; acre of white
navy beans, 35 bushels; half acre Of
Hubbard squash, 8 tons. In 1905
they raised from three acres Of
Iground 25 tons of improved whit,
Belgium carrots. The 1909 crol
has not been dug as yet.
Three years ago the asylum LEASED
l42 acres of ground to the sugal
factory people at $40 per acre pc
year and In addition the factory
gave 10 the asylum 500 tons of bee
pulp each year used for winter feed
ling live stock.

In the near future meeting of
the citizens of this place and the
railroad officials will be held rela-
tive to giving Georgetown new
depot. There are two reasons that
ought to contribute greatly to the
success of the thing. First, the de-
velopment of the rich phosphate
mines and second the Star valley
traffic.
Last Friday night a farewell
dance was given Oliver Dunn. In
short time he will leave for a mis-
sion.
1t is not probable that an evening

have applied for instruction in the
high school studies.

NOTHING DEFINITE
ABOUT new DEPOT
Superintendent tones Doing all he
Can to Secure this Needed
Improvement.

Division Superintendent Jones
and Assistant General Freight
Agent Tuttle of the Short Line
came IN from the west Monday af-
ternoon aud renamed over night.
When asked if he had anything TO
give out for publication regarding
the proposed new passenger depot
here, MIR. Jones replied that he had
not. However, from remarks he
made during our short conversa-
tion with him, we are satisfied that
Mr.. Jones is doing all within his
power to hurry this much needed
improvement along and We really
would not be surprised to see a
eommodlons freight depot and pas-
senger station erected here next
year.
l~Mr. Jones stated that both freight
and passenger traffic on the Idaho
division was good, the receipts
showingaulte an Increase over this
lime last year.
Former Superintendent Olmstead, !,
he said, is still in very poor health.
He is now at Hot Lakes, Oregon,
but he is receiving but little benefit
| from the treatment. It is extreme
" doubtful, said Mr.. Jones, if Mr..
Olmestead is ever able to again en-
