DRY LAND FARMING.

The most important part soil plays
In its relation to mankind Is its ca.
pacity to store water, as with irriga.
tion, or from the heavens in the shape
of rain or snow. Thus it is that the
productiveness of soil is governed by
the amount of water it can hold, how
1t is held and how quickly it will give
this water to crops, says Norman E.
Holden, a successful Beaverhead
county dry land farmer.
1t must be kept in mind that plant
life. in taking its ~sustenance from the
soil, takes it in q liquid form. Take
q soil devoid of all plant food and,
no matter how ideal the moisture con
ditions, it will be unproductive. On
the other hand, no matter how fertile
a soil may be, its productiveness will
be governed by it's moisture condi-
lions.
Now with the dry land farms, one
of the principal points to consider In
the selection of q claim, Is whether the
soil is deep enough and fine enough to
make q good reservoir. A very fine
clay soil, having enough particles to
take $1,000 to make q linear inch will
hold considerably more water than .
sandy soil, where $500 particles will
made q linear inch. Then, so far as
the wster.holding capacity of the two
coils Is concerned, that of the clay is
to be preferred.
To dry farm successfully, there must
be at least four feet of soil in which
to store water. Eight or ten feet will
be better, but it will not be q shining
success with less than four feet, for
when these prolonged %droughts, which
We usually have, do come. unless there
are eight or ten inches Of water stored
below, your crops will suffer.
In selecting a dry farm, consider
the kind and depth of the soil, pre-
cipitation and evaporation. Remem'
Der, some locations have q much
higher percentage OF evaporation thar
others, az they also do of precipita
ton. Test your soil underneath Il
ascertain its depth. 1t 10 q little hard
er and longer, but it will pay you
for you are there for q long TIM
when you file on land.
There are some soils that look goot
on Ton, but are worthless to dry farm
ers, as they are not deep enough tt
hold the water. Don't overlook thi,
point, az It is one of the most import

MAKE ROOM FOR SETTLERS.

Despite the fact that Montana con-
tains q total area of LAG, 600 square
miles, but little more than halt of this
vast domain is available for use-and
this half includes every acre now held
by private ownership in the state.
Figures have been compiled which
show stronger than words can por-
tray the amazing extent to which
federal action and lack of federal
action is operating to retsrd the de-
velopment of Montana.
The total area of Montana, LAG, 600
square miles, equals %, lao. 900 acres.
OF this area, 20, 389, 696 acres, or almost
q fourth of the total area of the state,
is in national forests, from which the
settler 10 debarred and in which even

are in Indian reservations. while sew
eral million acres additional, thought
to contain coal deposits, r also
Withdrawn from entry, az are likewise
many acres of land in contemplated
irrig alton projects.
No other state in the union contains
so many acres of public land from
which the settler is debarred, says the
Helena Independent.
In this connection it is interesting
to note that an effort is being made to
remove ome of the restrictions. Gov.
ernor Norris has instructed State
Land Agent Henry Neill to report at
once any unsurveyed townships in the
state which it was advisable to ask
the government to at once survey and
this is expected to expedite public
surveys. The governor and attorney
general, while in Washington. q short
time ago, also advocated the early
opening of the Crow and Blackfeet res.
ervations, and it is believed that steps
toward this end will probably be TAX
en- soon. But beyond a deleg alton of
Montana people in Washington last
week calling the attention of the pres
ident, among other things, to the fact
that almost one fourth of the total area
of the state is Withdrawn as forest re-
nerves, nothing has as yet been done
toward securing the release of the
land available for agricultural pur-
poses within the boundaries of the
national forests.
The following shows the area of the
various Indian reservations in the
state: Blackfeet, 959, ga acres; Grow,

total, $685., l0S. June 30, last, govern
ment figures showed that the totaI
area of the forest reserves in the state
amounted to 20, 3S9. 696 acres, and
there has been no change since tina,

I haste my bread to earn,
And anxiously my kindred wait
And watch for my return,
For death, hat levels all alike,
Whate'er their ank may be.
Amid the fire and damp may strike
And fling his darts at me.
How little do the great ones care
Who sit at home secure
What hidden dangers golfers dare,
What h%ardships they endure!
The very fires their mansions boast
To cheer themselves and wives,
Mayhap were kindled at the cost
OF jovial GOLFERS lives.
Then cheer up, lads, and make ye

But let your mirth be always such

However fortune turns about,
Well still be jovial souls,
For what would America be
Without the lads that look for Goals?
