B. C. ARID FARMING.

George N. West, U. S. consul gen
eral at Vancouver, British Columbia,
writes as follows:
"The most reliable information that
can be obtained on the subject of Dry
Farming Methods in this Province is
that contained in Bulletin No. 10,
published by authority of the Provint-
cial government, from which | quote
as follows:
There are many hundred thoul-
sands of acres which may be classed
as arid land and to which it seems i'm
possible to supply water, unless some
genius shall arise with new scheme
and methods now unknown TO irriga-
ton experts. In southern Yale alone
mere are nearly 100000 acres which
are practically valueless except for
pasture, and as it takes many of these
acres to support a single head of
stock, very extensive region seems
doomed to remain. Indefinitely an al
most uninhabited wilderness. Irri-
gated and sown with fodder crops,
these lands would feed ten times the
number of cattle; but planted with
fruit, grain and vegetables, each forty
acres would support at least three to
five people, or at conservative esti-
mate a population of 100000.
There are at least two cases i'm
British Columbia in which crops are
being successfully grown on land
which had been considered worthless
for agricultural purposes ON account
of it's altitude and the impossibility
of getting water to it. One of these
examples of dry farming is on what is
known at the Commonage, near Yer
non, and the otner on the uplands
near Midway. The success which has
attended these experiments will doubt
less encourage others to take up
scientific farming-for that is just
what dry farming Island in time
much of the land that is now given
up to sage brush, cactus and bunch
grass, will yield plentiful crops OF
grain, fruit and vegetables.

comes more thickly populated and. the

NITRATE OF SODA.

Nitrogen is the first plant food to be-
come exhausted in the soil, hence 1t is
most commonly the deficient one; and
without sufficient nitrogen in the soil
the plants are unable to appropriate
more than limited amount of the other
plant nutrients. Thus is seen the double
necessity of supplying nitrate of soda
to the growing crops.
Nitrate of soda is of special value in
forcing rapid development and early ma
turity of most garden crops; but the best
results are obtained from nitrate when
applied in the early stages of growth,
as late applications may protract the
growing period and delay maturity.
Even the legumes although possess
ing the power to assimiate the atmos-
pheric nitrogen, are benefited in their
early life by nitrate of soda.
The nitrogen in green manure Is not
to be relied upon, since the presence
of decaying vegetation favors the reduc-
ton of nitrates with loss of a large per
cent of their nitrogen.
General directions for using nitrate of
soda:-Apply by sprinkling a few inches
from the roots when the plants are dry
avoiding direct contact with them; and 1t
is recommended that each application be
followed by cultivating so that the nitrate
can the more easily reach the feeding
roots, particularly in localities where dry
weather begins at an early date. A
booklet showing methods, and results
from the use of nitrate will be sent free
by mail to Ranch readers. Address Nj

leading town in lower Yakima county,

purpose of securing an individuality for

To this end organized effort is put forth
to make a creditable showing for Sunny

Sunnyside has established headquarters
at the Butler Hotel Annex. Here a reg
lister is provided and the Sunnyside peo-
pie are asked to register the time of ar

parture, and the street address and tele
phone number while visiting the fair A
part of this register has the names and
addresses of Seattle people who have lived
at Sunnyside or have interests there, and
this is a long list. The Butler Annex is
to be the information bureau for Sunny
siders and they are invited by this popu-
lar hotel to the free use of parlors lob
bies, mail and telephone service. 1t is
the plan to hold Sunnyside banquets, pic
mics and excursions, and Seattle people
who are interested are expected to
participate in these functions. Regular
Sunnyside daily or weekly receptions are
being arranged for at the Yakima County
building, and people who visit Seattle
will be sure to get to see some of the

in the Coast papers that important
consulta lions were in progress be-
tween Mr.. William .Whyte, second
vice-president of the G. P. R., and Mr..
R. M Palmer, deputy minister of ag-
riculture with other members of the
government and officials of fruit sell
ling organization at the Coast. The
object of these consultations was said
to be to discuss schemes for the in
auguration of a system of refrigerator
storage for the quartering and ship
ment of fruit products. 1t may be as
sumed that with the G. P. R. taking
vital interest in the matter and the
government lending the smile of its
appreciation to projects of this kind
something will come of it. 1t would
seem as though these corporations
were about to say to the grower:

after your marketing" Properly done,

Ask That Choral Union Be Made
Permanent.
Interest in Matter Is Steadily
Increasing.
MANY FAVOR PLAN.
Think Organization Would Be
Great Advertisement.
Mill Hands Moving in From

Interest is increasing in the PROPOSE
ton to form a permanent organization
from the choral union, composed of
singers from the different choirs of the
North side churches which sang at the
chautauuua at Garfield park last sum-
mer. w. M, Van Ness, who directed
the singers then, is receiving many en-
quiries regarding the matter and it Is
not improbable that a meeting may be
John Pratt Charles Suit and several
others who took part in the singing
mentioned are much interested.
Several others, since a story regard
ing the proposed choral union appeared
in the State Journal a week ago Tues
the project.
Such union, it is thought, would not
only develop interest in vocal music but
also be a great advertisement for the
North side both in Topeka and in other
towns. This is judging from the atten-
tracted both from Topeka people and
from visitors. If the organization were
made permanent, it is very likely the
singers would receive invitations to ap-
pear at entertainments in Topeka and
in other cities. That the musical
talent could be found on the North side
is evident from the success enjoyed by
the choral union when it sang at the
Garfield park chautauqua last summer.
People have been asking me about
making the choral union permanent"
said Mr.. Van Ness this morning "Es-
pecially since they read about the pro-
posed organization in last Tuesdays
State Journal. While I can not say at
present whether the union will be re-
organized, it is probable that a meet
ing may be called to discuss the propo-
sition in the near feature. 1 am willing
