DRY FARMING TO BE

The movement is fathered by Fred

months To experimental work In the

field. He has planted a variety OF
seeds and the crops from each was @
revelation. no irrigation whatever
being had.
The wheat experiment a pro-
nounced satisfactory. while in alfalfa,
grain and hay the returns were some-
thing unusually good. The greatest
surprise was experienced through an
experimental test of the Burbank
spineless cactus. OF these Cline placed
thirty-three single leaves in as many
hills. and the yield was 2S5 distinct
plants of that variety. each carrying
perfectly formed bodies and with the
flower peculiar to that growth The
leaves were a. smooth as glass and
contained one uf the prickly pins of
the wild desert variety. Following
the harvesting Of the crop he made
feeding experiments with cattle. The
animals eagerly ate the food. and in a
short time showed the good results
from their fine condition. The inten-
ton Is To devote a large area TO this
especial line.
Mr. Cline says that about forty diff
ferent varieties Of seed will be sown
the first season in order to make
careful demonstrations Of the fertil-
ity of the soil. as to which of them
will thrive the best. If il is deemed
water will be dug for, and
wells at present on the domain show
the greatest depth will not ex-
seventy-five feet The contour
Of the country Is such that al many
after a well is bored the flow
can reach a vast area on ii gravity
but ut other points pumping to
places under cultivation will b.
necessary. The soil is OF a soft loan
and the absence OF sand is one of the
desirable features OF the project
Mr. Cline made the additional state
that IN the first crop he will
plant there Will be 1000 leaves OF the |
ipineless cactus Of the Burbank vari-
and from this growth alone he
'eels assured for the first year a fl
