DRY FARM
American Falls Produce Will BE
On Exhibition.

Comparatively few people think
OF Idaho as a dry farming state,
and 1t is not one. primarily; but a
great deal Of land in various section
is being dry farmed. and there are
several million acres yet TO be re-
claimed by dry farming methods.
Professor r. d. Farrell, of Cald-
well. director of the Southern Idaho
s~ub-stations, says this in an inter
esting article on THE Progress OF
Dry Farming" in the Dry Farming
Congress bulletin, which will be
issued at the opening of the fifth
sessions of Dry Farming Congress
and third International exposition
In Spokane on October 3.
1.-THE facts are usually somewhat
obscured by the splendid activity
on the irrigated lands" he adds.
while the irrigated lands are the
most talked of and the greatest
outlet for investment the state
has dry land areas as large as sew
eral eastern states that probably
will never be irrigated but can be
successfully dry farmed."
Frank G. Bowman. of Idaho Falls,
first vic~e-president of the congress,
also has a lengthy article dealing
on dry farming in the Upper Snake
river valley in Idaho in which he
says there are from 500 900 to $50
900 acres in Bingham and FIRE.
