Dry Farming Congress

With the dry farming movement,
represented in in its concrete form by
the dry farming congress, embracing
every country on the globe where
where arabic land is being developed
or awaiting settlement, but handicapped
by limited or deficient rainfall, many
people are asking how it is started,
what is back Of it, who is responsible
for it, what has it done, and what does
it mean for the future of humanity.
Every community in the inland en-
piTe is interested in this subject now,
because the fifth dry farming congress
and international dry farming exposition
will take place in Spokane during the
week OF Oct. 8, 1910. John T. Burns,
secretary treasurer, has established the
international headquarters of the organ
ization in Spokane, where the Dry
Farming Congress Bulletin, the official
journal, is published twice month
All the literature of the congress is
issued and the correspondence which
keeps the Office in touch with the agri.
cultural departments Of governments il
all parts of the world and with farmer:
and scientific agriculturists everywhere,
is conducted from the Offices in the
Hutton building.
The fifth annual session next fall
will bring delegates from all parts O
the United States and many foreign
countries, and exhibits Of dry-growr
products will be sent here from many
lands. 1t will be the greatest anc
most significant agricultural gathering
of the year, and, in economic import
ance, promises to rank with any con
vention held in the northwest.

the interests Of the common people.
The one is organized to reach out a
rapacious hand for further control OF
the government and the resources of
the nation, demands central bank, a
ship subsidy and opposes the policy Of
conservation OF natural resources; the
other is organized to resist all these
demands and in making counter propo-
sitions equally radical.
Now, while the Changers are united
on measures they are unfortunately d.
vided on methods Of procedure. One
says: There is a large and growing
element in the republican party which
can serve our purposes. Let US all get
in together and help the progressiyes
to capture the machinery of the domi-
nant party" The progressive demo-
crat says: IAN such attempts are use
less and have always failed because the
trusts are entrenched in the republican
party. The people have long con-
trolled the democratic party, and it is
the logical channel for our efforts. F."
The socialist objects: "Bourbonism
in democracy is as great load for real
progress as reactionayism in the re-
publican party. The whole system
must be changed. 1t must be done
thru party in no wise allied to the
capitalist system" And so on down
the line.

that while the Grange is hostile to the
course Of the standpatters among re-
publicans, the bourbon democrats and
the Jacobin socialists, yet it does not
attempt to secure unity Of action among
its members. 1t is maker of public
sentiment. When public sentiment is
ripe it will be comparatively easy for a
supplementary organization to take up
the work of securing united action to
obtain the reform demanded by the
public.

COUNTRY AWAKE TO DANGER
Immense Amount of Money Spent
Last Year in Fight Against
tuberculosis.

A report issued recently by the Ma
tional Association for the Study and
Prevention of Tuberculosis shows that
for the treatment of tuberculous pa
tients in sanatoria and hospitals $5,-
292,2S9.77 was expended during the
year 1909. The anti-tuberculosis asso-
Citations spent $975,SS9.56, the tubercu-
losis dispensaries and clinics $640,474,-
ga, and the various municipalities, for
special tuberculosis work, spent 3d.
Ill ,96753. The anti-tuberculosis asso-
Citations distributed the most litera-
ture, spreading far and wide 100000
copies of circulars, pamphlets and
printed matter for the purpose of edu-
eating the public about consumption.
The health departments of the differ
ent cities also distributed more than
1,056,000 copies, which, with the work
done by state departments of health,
brings the number of pieces distribut-
ed during the year well over 10000
900. The largest number of patients
treated during the year was by the
dispensaries, where 61,5S6 patients
were given free treatment and advice.
The sanatoria and hospitals treated
37,75S patients, while anti-tuberculosis
associations assisted 16,96S.

QUANTITY, QUAIL
ITY AND PRICE"
THE THREE ESSENTIALS THAT
ARE GIVING WESTERN CANADA
GREATER Impulse Than Ever This Year.

Inc reports from the grain fields of
Central Canada, (Which comprises the
provinces of Manitoba, Saskatchewan
and Alberta) are to hand. The year
l9O9 has not only kept pace with pre-
vlous years in proving that this por-
ton of the Continent is capable of
producing splendid yield of all the
smaller grains, but it has thoroughly
outstripped previous seasons. There
Is quantity, quality and price and from
all parts of an area of about 100000
square miles there comes the strong
refrain of contentment and satisfac-
ton. In the distribution of the con-
ditions causing it no district has been
overlooked.
Various estimates of the total yield
OF wheat for the country have been
made, but it is not the vast total that
influences the general reader so much
as what has been done individually.
The grand total-say 1870 million BUSH
els-may have its effect on the grain
price of the world it may be interest
ing to know that in the worlds mar
kets the wheat crop of Canada has
suddenly broken upon the trading
boards, and with the Argentine, and
with Russia and India, is now a fac.
tor in the making of prices. If so to.
day, what will be its effect five or ten
years from now, when, instead of
there being seven million acres under
crop with total yield of 1875 or 1870
million bushels, there will be from II
to 80 million acres in wheat with a
yield of from 1926 to 600 million bush
els. When it is considered that the
largest yield in the United States but
slightly exceeded 700 million bushels,
the greatness of these figures may be
understood. Well, such is safe fore
cast, for Canada has the land and 1t
has the SOIL Even today the Prov
ince of Saskatchewan, one of the three
great wheat growing provinces of Can
ada, with 100000 acres under wheat,
produces nearly 80 million bushels, or
upwards of one-tenth of the greatest
yield of the United States. And Sas-
katchewan is yet only in the begin
ming of it's development. AS Lord
Grey recently pointed out in speaking
on this very subject, this years crop
does not represent one-tenth of the
soil equally fertile that is yet to be
brought under the plough.
Individually, reports are to hand
of yields of twenty-five, thirty and
thirty-five bushels to the acre. Scores
of yields are reported of forty and
some as high as sixty bushels. The
farmer, who takes care of his soil,
who gets his seed-bed ready early, is
certain of a splendid crop.
The news of the magnificent crop
yield throughout the Canadian West
will be pleasing to the friends of the
thousands of Americans who are resi-
dents in that country and who are
vastly instrumental in the assistance
they are rendering to let the world
know its capabilities.
