Berry avoided making a statement
about his trip, and David H. Moffat

Santa Fe Launches Dry-Farming
Campaign i'm MexitO.
An Expert Will Soon Organize
+ the Farmers.
BUILD UP COUNTRY
This Is Idea OF Promoting Ag-
ricultural Schemes.
Other Items of General Interest
i'm Railroad Circles.

Prof J. d. Tinsley, a dry farming eX-
pert recently employed by the Atch-
isor Topeka & Santa Fe to undertake
the spreading of information about dry
farming along the lines of the system
in New Mexico, will soon leave his col
lege in New Mexico and start out on
the new duties with the railroad
During January Professor Tinsley
will visit all the towns along the line
of the Sants Fe in New Mexico, begin
ming at E.kins in the Pecos valley,
working north to Clovis and TeXico,
thence along the cutoff to Mountainair
and on to Las Vegas, Mora and Colfax
counties.
This will be the first active move of
the Santa Fe in their attempt to ad-
vocate dry farming in the territory In
New Mexico along the lin 5 of the rail-
road. To teach the farmers how to dry
farm with success and thus eventually
build up the countr.- is the object OF
the Santa Fee in this work and consid-
cradle interests has already been taken
by the people living in these dry dis
tricts.
The object of this preliminary trip
by Professor Tinsley Will be to select
the localities and the men who are to
carry out the ideas of the professor on
the farm lands. Wherever farmers Or
CARNATIONS exist that are willing to as
sumo the oversight it will be done in
cooperation with them.
Where there are no organizations one
will be formed similar to the societies
formed in this country for the advance
ment of the work. In forming an or
ganization of this kind the Santa Re
believes that it can accomplish more
than if the work was done through in
dividuals. while the actual work will
be done by a few men it is very desir-
able that all of the people of the com
munity should be in touch with it, said
! Santa Fe official who just returned
from New Mexico today. "All of this
work is done for the good of the COM
munity and the road believes that 1t
should be given to them collectively
The farmers in this dry farming
country VII cooperate are expected to
furnish the land and the labor. The
Santa Fe furnishes the services of Pro-
fessor Tinsley and all the seeds that are
needed. The demonstrations by the ex-
pert will be principally on methods of
| handling the land-such as breaking.
preparing the seed bed, seeding and
| cultivation-and the introduction of
the locality and the introduction of new
varieties and crops of which the seed
! can be obtained.
The area to be handled by one farm
| er will not be more than five acres and
| from two to five farmers will be select
| ed for community Professor Tinsiey
| will visit each community about once a
month to see that the work is being
| properly done. On these visits he will
also deliver lectures to the farmers.
! 1t is hoped by the officials of the
| Santa F'e that not only the farmers but
! the commercial clubs and similar or
| CARNATIONS and everybody interested

MICHIGAN IS AMUSED.
Railroad Men Laugh at Rock Island
Wabash-Lehigh Valley Rumor.

Detroit, Mich. Dec. 24.-There is a
mingling of amazement and amuse-
ment in local railroad circles over
stories from the east that the Rock
Island is to take in the Pere Marquette
along with the Lehigh Valley and Wa
bash, the Pere Marquette to be the
connecting link between the Rock
Island and the Wabash The local
laugh over this guess comes from the
fact that the Pere Marquette traffic to
the east is handled over the Michigan
Central tracks under a lease.
Railroad men say it would take a
strong imagination even to think of
the Michigan Central permitting that
lease to be extended to the Lehigh
Valley Wabash connection.
