DRY FARMER NOT AFRAID OF
DROUTH

Colfax, Wash, July 14-H. s. Hol-
lingsworth, q pioneer of Colfax, has
proven this year that scientific dry
farming is a guarantee of good crops
even In dry weather.
He viii get bumper crop from
his spring seeding and attributes II
All to the Campbell system His
spring crop Of wheat will average so
to so bushels of wheat an acre.
He said: mot only do get a
greater crop than under the other
method, but get 1t with far less
seed. Instead Of sowing 100 to 100
pounds Of wheat to the acre SOW
ony 80 pounds The principle Of the
system is to pack the ground SO hard
that no moisture can evaporate DUR
ing the dry season.
6 "To retain the moisture which
would otherwise evaporate at the
rate of a quart q day square foot,
use the packer, treating the ground
so that no moisture can escape. Then
soft layer of dirt is worked up up
on this hard soil and grain is llanred
in that.
During the dry season III. grain
will secure enough moisture from
the ground, even if there is a total
failure of rain, so that the yield will

It must also be remembered that a great
deal of the land recently brought into cultiva-
ton in Idaho is cultivated under what is
known as the dry farming system. Not more
than one-third of the acreage farmed in the

YOUR CAMP FIRE AND LUMBER
BILL


"This is an alarm of fire.
do you hear it?
will you heed it?
IF the fire has not come yet, it
soon will.
| You may prevent 1t.
"You can scarcely top it.
Although July has hardly begun,
a dry spring followed by hot weather
has resulted in terrific forest fires
throughout the coast states, The
| finder like condition of the woods so
early in the season threatens us with
one of the worst fire years in history.
| With the situation already extreme
! ly serious, and the usually dry
months still to come, the Pacific
Northwest faces great danger of UNI
comfortable sweeping fires, before
which all effort will be powerless to
prevent great destruction of resources
| If not of human lives. 1t is time to
appeal to every citizen for vigilance
to avert disaster and distress to the
community"
In these words the Western Forest
L y & Conservation association begins
q statement issued today as the re-
suit OF reports upon the unusually
critical forest fire situation received
from its subsidiary fire fighting or
CARNATIONS throughout the North
western states. All authorities agree
that unusually early arrival of dan
gerous conditions warrants grave APP
prehension. Great destruction has
already resulted in Montana, Idaho
and California. In Oregon and Wash
ington many fires have broken out
and, although most have been sue
cessfully handled. every day is in
creasing the danger of conditions
which prevent control.
The association calls attention to
the fact that very destructive forest
fires come in cycles, due to abnormal
years. While in ordinary seasons
countless fires shoulder without
serious effect and even the more inn
portant ones can usually be checked
by sufficient effort, every few years
comes a combination of protracted
dry weather and wind during which |
any fire once started becomes almost
instantaneously beyond influence of
human endeavor. such fires burn
furiously until checked by rain or
lack Of fuel and sweep vast areas
with great rapidity. The last Of these
fire years" was 1902, when many |
lives, besides resources worth nearly
$50, 000,0 900 were destroyed in Ore
gon and Washington IN day or two.
1t is return Of sucn a catastrophe
which is feared If heavy rain does
not soon relieve the early dryness Of
1910.
In the meanwhile the association
appeals to every traveller and resident
III forest regions to exercise the great
est precaution with fire, and to all
timber owners to maintain vigilant
patrol. In some states the governor
has legal power to forbid hunting,
fishing and camping during period OF
great fire danger, but in the North
west there is no insurance but the
care exercised by the individual.

IDAHO LEADS. THEM ALL
Facts For Folks Fond Of Figures
The Information and Statistics Con-

culture at Washington, ID. G..

Figures that cannot be questioned place
Idaho ahead of all other states in the average
yield per acre, on all the leading products,
for a term Of ten years ending with 1909.
It will no doubt be surprise to all and
will probably be disputed by many when the
statement is made that Idaho's average yield
per acre for the past ten years on corn, wheat,
oats, rye, barley. potatoes and hay is greater
than that of any other state in the Union,
but when this statement is backed up by the
reports Of the Secretary Of Agriculture at
Washington, D. c., it cannot be challenged.
Idaho has produced an average yield Of
corn per acre for the past ten years of 29.5
bushels as against an average yield in the
u. S. for the same period of 1858 bushels per
acre. Idaho's average yield Of corn per acre
is only exceeded by the following states
Ohio. Ind, ILL.,, Iowa, Wis, and Cal.
Idaho's average yield for the past ten
years on wheat has been 24.3 bushels per acre
as against an average yield in the u S. Of
141 for the same period. The average yield
per acre of wheat in Idaho is only exceeded
by four other states. viz: Montana, wyoming
Colorado and Utah. In 1909 Idaho produced
14,465,000 bushels of wheat which was
greater crop than was produced in any of the
following states: Cal, New, Utah, Ariz., N
M. Colo. Wyo. Mont, Ark, Tex. La. Miss.
Tenn, KY, Ala, Iowa, Wis, Mich, Fla. Ca,

Conn.,, Mass r. l.. Yer. N. H. and Maine
Idaho's wheat crop for the year 1909 was
2s5.0OO bushels greater than the combined
product Of the following states: Me-, N. H..
Yer, Mass, r. l., Conn, Fla. La, Miss, New.
N. M. Wyo., Ark. Ala. Wis. Del. and N. J. \,
Idaho's yield Of oats for the term covered
by this report is Alt as against an average
yield in the U. s. of 29.5 per acre. In 1909
Idaho's crop Of oats was greater than that of
any of the following states: New. Ark, Utah,
Wyo., Ark. La, Miss. Ala. Tenn, KY, Fla. Ga.
s. c., N. C., w. ", Va, Nd, Del, N. j., Conn,

Idaho's crop of oats'for 1909 was 1885, 900
bushels. which was 1,SS0,00O more than the
combined oat crop of the following states:
La N. H., Del. Mass, Conn.,, R. l.. New, Ariz..
N. j., Nd. Fla, and N. M. In the average yield
Of oats per acre for the last ten years Idaho
ranks third in the u S., being exceeded only
by the states Of Washington and Montana.
