TURN DESERT INTO GARDEN
Dry Farming Movement Proposes to
Do This by the Simple Laws
Of Nature.

AZ the edge OF the American desert
the government has built expensive
Irrigation plants, but these cannot
reach the interior of the area nor can
they make ready the land without
enormous cost. The dry farming
movement proposes to convert this
desert into garden by the simple

the lot OF Prof. H. w. Campbell to
Investigate and illustrate the princt

His theory maintained that by culti-

ture falling on the land could be held
In the soil, and surface cultivation the
year round would tend TO produce n
profusion OF flowers and grain.
The first methods we're crude and
expensive. but later developments
have rendered dry farming no more
costly than other kinds. The land is
plowed year before any crops are
planted. Disk subsoil plows break the

leak through the hard pan. and thus
evaporation Is prevented, The soil Is
worked until II Is sponge.like and can

the plants are large enough TO hold

This packing and pulverizing OF

sary when the soil Is plowed dry OF
when stubble, trash or manure In

the capillary connection OF the soil
with the subsoil is largely broken
on and the soil water will not rise
into the surface soil to supply the
terminating seed and feed the roots
of the young plants. hence the seed
fails to terminate well or the plant
is often stunted In growth, and In
such a seed bed the crop is likely to
freeze out or burn out. Because of
these results II is not safe to pillow

The Horton Prizes Awarded.

The Horton prize contest for bird study,
was held at the Museum Monday and
Tuesday of this week. The contest was
purposelv made harder than ever before,
in the first two divisions, many female
birds being shown instead of the better
known males, and in some instances,
birds in their winter plumage were dis
played.
In the advanced division, to which
onl V Academy students and those who
have won prizes other years, are eligible,
Master Lawrence Doty won out, NAM
ing correctly 40 out of the so birds
shown. Miss Edith Stone was close
second naming 38 birds and thus re-
ceiving honorable mention. Of the other
contestants, Miss Ruth Adams named
26, William Dimick "a, Miss Freda Gil
fillan %, Ralph Paine 20.
Master Doty won a prize last year
and by the rules of the contest, is thus
debarred from participation in future
years.
In division A, 26 pupils tried for the
FIVE dollar gold piece, and Master Max
Glltllan won it, correctly naming 80 out
of the so birds. Elsie Richardson named
25 and thus deserves honorable mention.
The next in order were Beulah Eastman
"a, Irving Eastman %, Russell Brown
81 and Margaret Paine 20.
About 60 pupils entered the contest in
Division B and Dorothy Adams won the
prize by naming 38 out of the 40 birds
shown. Aileen Craig deserves honorable
mention as she named "a birds, while
Helen Ross named 81, Barbara Cade 20,
Alexina Hall %, Faulkner Carter 25,
Lesley Cady "a and Wendell Cowles %
These yearly contests, which are main.
tanned by the interest and generosity o.
one of St. Johnsbury's citizens, are a
more severe test of the knowledge which
the young people of the town possess
concerning birds, than a bird walk
would be. Often the song of a bird or
the manner in which it moves or flies en-
ables the student toidentify it more read
lily than he could do from seeing its color
alone. That the young people of the
town can thus identify birds, has beer
amply proven this spring, when they
have many times surprised the leader O
the Museum bird walks by their init
mate knowledge of the birds, their habit:
and songs.
