Dry FARMING Not New.

While the dry-farming movement
has received its greatest impetus dur.
ing recent years of agricultural devel.
opment in the west, it is not new
science. The Chinese have been ap.
plying a system of tillage similar to
that which we call dry farming for
more than 1000 years, according to
F. n. Meyer, foreign exploration agent
of the United States department of
agriculture. In Palestine and north.
ern Africa, very dry regions, crops
have been raised for centuries with.
out irrigation. In Turkestan, Thessa.
lonica, on the steppes of Siberia in
Hungary, in South Africa. in the
desert countries of Australia, in Mex.
ico/tn South America and IN north.
west Canada the methods of tho dry
farmers of the south and west have
been applied with success.

WINTER WHEAT ON DRY LAND
one.Half Amount of Seed Required for
irrigated Lands Answers for
Dry Farming.

Field and Farm says that one-half
the amount of seed required for irri-
gated land will do in dry farming, add
ing that 35 pounds to the acre is all
sufIicien in Colorado and that, in one
instance at least 62 bushels of good
wheat to the acre was grown in this
way last season.
This seems to us pretty thin seed.
ing, but we do know that where there
is lack of moisture, it will not do to
SOW too thickly, and as weeds take
more moisture than grain, it just will
not do to tolerate weeds at all in dry
farming.
A number of new settlers in Mon.
tana have complained to us that their
crops the present season would have
been much better, one says as good
again. had they not listened to the old
settlers and seeded lightly.
In this particular season, or last, the
new settler may be right, for most Of
these complaints come from men who
admit that the rainfall has been much
greater than usual the past two or
three years. With the regulation dry
Montana seasons, however, we look for
more converts to thin seeding. We
shall be glad to hear from some OF
the experienced upon this phase of the
subject.-Dakota Farmer.

HOLDING MOISTURE IN SOIL
Rainfall Should BE coaxed Down
Into subsol Where Roots VIII
Co After II.

Of late years much has been writ
ten about the conservation of moist
ure. which is very old story with
new name.
For, thousands of years crops have
been raised by hand hoeing and cul-
tivation with very little precipitation,
but in country like ours, where we
have considerable rainfall and 1t often
comes in chunks when it does come,
farmer must catch it first and con.
serve IL afterwards.
Some of our agricultural writer's
have curious ideas on this point, which
it Is well to explode at the start,
writes Prof F. Knorr In Ranch and
Farm. One, for instance states that
so as to hold the water near the sur
face. This is very bad advice, for If
it stays near the surface it dries out
quickly, but If we can coax it down
into the subsoil, the roots of almost
any crop will go down three feet or
more after 1t and then we get har-
vest worth talking about.
A man may pillow six or seven inches
and if the subsoil is dry the roots will
go down only that six or seven inches,
and no more, but after a very wet
year, when the subsoil is wet and the
roots go into it shallow plower may
raise almost as fine a crop as the man
that plows ten or twelve inches, and
this often leads to the belief that shall
low blowing is the thing, but where he
gets only one good crop once In
awhile, the man who plows deep
makes his crops every year wet or
dry. Packed land is very much like
a haystack that is well settled, the
rain does not go into it much. but
when the hay is loose the rain may
go almost through it, the same with
the land.

Winter Care of Poultry.

AS the season advances and bugs
and vegetation become things of the
past do not forget that you are still
playing that it is summer in asking
your fowls for cold weather eggs, and
that you must wheedle them into the
idea that it is the proper laying sea
son. TO accomplish this, you must
Keep up the supply of egg producing
foods in addition to the heating foods
to keep them warm.
Give them something in the way of
animal foods to take the place of
bugs, beetles and insects. Beef scrap,
dried blood, blood meal and green cut
bone are all excellent for this purpose
II you vary them and do mol give one
continuously All of the above are rich
IN the protein that is needed in egg
making.

BERGER RECEIVERS
HIS LOST PAPERS
Attempt to Defraud VinIta Man is
Thwarted BY Trip to Former
Home of ]. r. Larkin.

With the mortgages and other pa
pers, given by A. B. Berger to ]. F.
Larkin in his possession and with an
agreement with the Westport Avenue
National bank, of Kansas City, to pay
all of the expenses of settling the
affair, Attorney Preston S. Davis re-
turned last night from Kansas City,
and thus ended one of the most glar-
ing attempts at fraud ever enacted in
this city.
Larkin, who was formerly in the
land business in this city, and who
suddenly left vinita, wired Berger
from Kansas City that If he would
wire him 5000 to the Westport Avenue
bank he would release the papers held
as collateral on a $400 loan, and ac-
cept the 5000 as full payment. Ber-
ger, through the Farmers State bank
of this city wired the money and also
wired instructions in detail to the bank
in regard to paying over the money.
A few days later, when the papers
arrived it was found that only copy
of the original papers had been turn
ed over to the bank by Larkin, and 1t
seemed that Berger had been buncoed
to the tune Of $500. However, Berger,
Cashier Martin, of the Farmers State
bank, and Attorney Preston Davis
made trip to Kansas City but
found Larkin had gone. AT the bank
they demanded that the amount be re-
funded to Berger, that had been paid

ance between commercial interests
and machine politics, by which COM

TERRIFIC STORM
SWEEPS V|N|TA
Hurricane Accompanied BY Heavy
Downpour Caused Much Dam
age Near This City.

Accompanied by downpour of rain
that was a near cloudburst, a wind
storm of hurricane force swept over
Vinita and surrounding country yes
terday afternoon and did great dam
age to orchards, barns and other out
houses.
The storm came up without warning
and broke in all its fury on this city
before the citizens hardly realized that
it was brewing.
The greatest damage done in the
city, probably was at Electric Park,
where the tramway of the chute the
chutes" arrangement was completely
demolished and a number of trees
badly broken. The tent where the
Baptist revival has been in session
was torn to pieces and the piano badly
damaged. These services closed Sun
day night and the draymen were on
hand to move the piano to the home of
its owner, f. L. Burkhalter when the
storm broke.
Considerable damage was done on
several farms around this city. At
the Mat Hawkins place south Of town,
several trees were uprooted and others
broken. Dan Titles house, Just to
the northeast of town was blown off
its foundation. A smoke house on the
Dave Witt place was wrecked and
from other places come reports Of
damage done by the storm.
The rainfall was the heaviest ever
experienced in Vinita For several
minutes the fall was so heavy that it
was impossible to see across the
street. The streets became raging
torrents, and the water filled the gut
ters and overfowed into several of
the buildings on South Wilson street.
So far no deaths in this vicinity
have been reported The storm how
lever was pretty general and from Jop-
lin and other Missouri points it is
reported that several people were kill
ed by lightning
