The number of men who quit work
in the Twin Cities is variously esti
mated at from 1900 to $4,000. The
strike, according to dispatches, Is gen
eral all over the Hill roads.
Martin A. Knapp, interstate CON-
Dor commissioner, made Intellectual eff
fects to bring the two opposing parties
to compromise at the ST. Paul meet
ing, but were unable to obtain any con-
cessions from the railroads further
than promise that they would do
ditions under which the men work.

willing to be satisfied with a compro.

tilic soil culture is not a one-season
proposition. The very aim of scientific
soil culture is to secure big crops and

''The contention of the advocates of
scientific dry farming methods is that
if proper methods of cultivation are
followed there will be no absolute crop
failure in even the driest years, because
the dry farming methods of tillage con-
serve the moisture in the soil, or in
other words create a soil reservoir from
which the plants draw their supply of
moisture during period Of drouth."

A great many farmers have started
out bravely aud intelligently to engage
in general agriculture in the dry country
and have failed in their attempt with
out being able TO understand just why
they should have failed. They have
not been able to progress. They have
failed to see that scientific soil culture
is not a one-season proposition and that
it does not contemplate merely getting
one fair crop and then another, but
that it is a system which looks to a
series of crop-years and to sort of
continuing process, with large yields
year after year. Most of the failures
with farming in the dry country comes
from an effort to get results on too
short a time.
For instance, despite a popular notion
to the contrary, many large areas of
the dry country in the past few seasons
have been unusually dry. Prolonged
drouth has been very common. Many
farmers have done the work very well
and have tried hard enough to get their
fields into the proper tilth, but have
not succeeded. The fact is that they
have not had any rain at all and have
therefore had nothing to work on.
Moisture can not be stored in the soil
if there is none there to store and
ground can not be put in good condition
without moisture. There is no such
thing as dry farming, or farming in
dry soil and there never will be, for
moisture is absolutely essential to the
termination of seed, promotion OF nitri-
fication and the growth of plants.
That which the farmer must do, in
getting a start in the dry country, is to
work the field so as to get the soil into
good condition and to keep at it until a
sufficient amount of moisture is in tbs
soil so as to form the basis for the
whole scheme. Then when once this
