II is only now when he has passed

no doubt go well over 100000 Still
more wonderful is 1t that the children
and grandchildren of st. Simon, no

enormous total OF $4,000 600.
Though no great horses from this
sire ever came to America. the records
show that l9 scions OF that strain have
captured no less than slS5,6l6.
1t is a well-known fact that there
is not country in the world In which
the blood of st. Simon has not exert

to note that during 1908. SO far as
can be cleaned from foreign records,
that the winning produce of the sons
of ST. Simon In every part OF the globe
captured over 100000.

to conquer this semi-arid country. but
more or less ignorance on the SUBJ
ject OF dry farming was the cause OF
failures. Since then the processes OF
dry farming have been studied scien-
tifically by the Department of Agricul-
ture and through other sources, but
in connection with this we believe the
Department of Agriculture is doing 4
good work for this state in its expert

small water supplies for the irriga-

We understand a report of these ex-

it should be in the hands of every
farmer in the state and especially the

DRY FARMING. VALUABLE
ASSETlTO THEISTATE

In all semi-arid regions, such as
found in the eastern part OF our state,
the amount of rainfall varies consid-
erably from year to year, and its oc-
curence is very irregular, as shown
by the records Of the Weather Bureau.
Under such conditions it is to be ex-
pected that there will be years OF
drought occasionally, in which prac-
tically all crops will be decreased or
entirely destroyed, and unless the
farmer has a small area under irri-
cation which will furnish the neces-
stiles of life. both for himself and
stock, his position may become very
precarious.
To show the great benefit derived
from a small water supply the United
States department OF agriculture es-
tablished a farm at Eads, in eastern
Colorado in 1906, one at Cheyenne,
Wyo.. and one at Newcastle, Wyo.
These farms were placed under the di-
rect supervision OF the Irrigation In
vestigations of the Office of Expert
ment Stations. and no effort was
spared to equip each farm completely.
SO that the work could be done scien-
tifically and with no hindrance. A
well was sunk at Eads and a deep
well pump installed. A gasoline en-
gine furnishes power for lifting the
water which is stored temporarily in
a small reservoir near by. This well
furnishes enough water to irrigate a
little more than five acres Of land.
upon which, it is maintained, enough
products can be raised to carry a
small family over winter should the
dry farming be curtailed by drought.
The farm at Eads embraces about
borders the town on the south. About
45 Of these acres are farmed after
dry farming processes. part of which
are cropped annually while the re-
mainder are fallowed; that is, the
part that is cropped this year is fall
lowed next. and that fallowed this
year is planted to crops the follow
ing year. SO that one-half only is
cropped each year. Fallowing is the
underlying principle advanced by SO
many dry farming experts The plow-
ed ground lying open receives the
moisture from the annual snow and
rain. and is retained by creating a
soil mulch over the surface with a
harrow or some similar implement
