hardy vegetables;
That the average yield of wheat per
acre, the United States over, in 1904,
was only 1914 bushels, and oats
20 ITO bushels to the acre. In 1905
wheat averaged 14A bushels to the
acre and oats % $40 bushels to the
acre;
That you can beat the average,
under dry farming, in the worst years;
That the motto of the dry farmer
is Zone blowing, frequent narrowing,
two years moisture-one big crop"
Many dry farming authorities and
enthusiasts assert that agriculture can
be successfully followed through sci
entific cultivation with ten inches of
rainfall. If this is true, there is an
abundance of encouragement for the
dry farmer in the records of the Chey-
enne Wheat Bureau for the last
t~hirty-six years, the average being In
excess of thirteen inches.
My own opinion covering a more or
less careful observation and study OF
the subject for six years, is that dry
farming is not only possible, but may
be made profitable If the prospective
farmer unites Faith, Hope and Char
ity" in his efforts, if he be intelligent
and Industrious, if he will apply the
knowledge and experience already
gained by others with assiduity, and
has the pluck and the to

years. Already dry farming has added

uation of the West.
have omitted roseate experiences
and the figures of many practical dry
farmers, the accuracy of which I have
no reason to doubt, fearing to try the
credulity of the reader, and for the
greater reason that in a new move
ment like this it is better to err on the
side of conservation than optimism.
And, lastly, the arid and semi-arid
West does not desire a sudden land
boom. A steady influx of practical
farmers, who will stay, is the real
desideratum.

NATIONAL IRRIGATION CONGRESS

Apostles Of irrigation, deep water
ways, drainage, good roads and con
~servation of resources and recruits
from various parts of this continent
and foreign countries will gather in
Spokane, August 8 to IA, where the
National Irrigation Congress will have
it's seventeenth session. To save the
forests, store the floods, reclaim the
deserts and make homes on the land,
are the primary objects outlined in
the official call. Arrangements have
been made by the board of control for
the entertainment of 1000 accredited
delegates, in addition to which it is
expected there will be between $4,000
and 100000 visitors from the irrigated
districts.
The regular program will consist of
addresses by officials of the -reclama-
ton, forestry and agricultural depart
ments of the United States, statesmen
and scientists, railroad and financial
men, promoters of the Carey act rec
lamation projects and officials of pri-
vate irrigation enterprises.
The Federal Department of Agricul-
ture has taken charge of a 20-acre
tract in the Spokane Valley, where
there will be demonstrations by irri-
cation experts of the latest approved
methods of supplying the soil with
moisture by artificial means. The IT.
rigated section surrounding Spokane
provides every opportunity for the
study of all methods of irrigating and
the various system of irrigation prof.
ects. Within a few minutes car ride
of the city are gravity canal systems,
pipe distribution of water and cleo
trical pumping plants.
The irrigated areas in Idaho, Mon
tana, Oregon and Washington produce
every kind of fruit and vegetable that
can be grown in the semi-tropic zone,
also the perfection Of the red apple,
as was demonstrated at the first Ma
tional Apple Show in Spokane In De-
cember, 1908.
The board of control will maintain
free information departments for the
convenience of delegates and visitors,
and it Is officially announced there
will be no advances in rates at hotels
during the convention.
The open air features of the con-
gress will be the parade Of the irriga-
ton army of 10, 900 and the Industrial
parade, in which Indians from four
