An Ausplclou. Year.

It has been asserted by many who
have doubted the effectiveness of dry
farming methods. or have misunder-
stood the meaning of what is called.
for want Of better term, dry farm.
Ing. that this has been a peculiarly
suspicious year.
The fact that some OF the sections
OF the west have been blessed with
more than the average rainfall at pc.
sculiarly opportune time cannot be de.
MED At the same time there are
other sections that have been peculi.
arly unfortunate. In that rainfall has
been denied them when most needed.
Not everybody has succeeded IN
these less fortunate districts. but the
reports received at the Headquarters
OF the congress from Its field commits.

HOW TO SELL
GOOD VEGETABLES
Prepare Product with Same Care
that F1uits Receive-Farmer
VIII Soon Have Trade No
One Can Take Away.

The following good advice to mar
ket gardeners is taken from the Min
nesota Horticulturist:
IF you are located near a city
where you can market produce from
the wagon, you will find that If you
prepare vegetables with the same care
that you do fruits, and be honest all
the way down to the bottom of the
basket, you will have trade that no
one can take from you, and your prod
uce will bring premium over the
average market. The same rule holds
true if you are shipping to other mar
kets. A packet rightly packed is half
sold, and is an invitation to buy an
other. 1t is always advisable, before
planting your crop, to know to some
extent where and how you will dispose
of it. Make all preparation before the
time of harvest. What might be seri-
Gus losses are often avoided by look
ing ahead.

In his first message 10 congress In

1t was stipulated that as sossl SIS
any work was completed the owners
of the land benefited mast begin TO re-
turn the cost thereof. payments being
made in 10 annual installments with
out interest the money so returned
being used over and over in the con-
struction of other works.
To eliminate speculation and put
stop to greedy acquisitions of large
tracts it was provided that no one.
could own more than 100 acres under
any of the projects and the owners
must actually reside upon and culti-
waite the land.
Numerous state laws Strengthened
this provision. some of them reducing
the holdings to 80, and in some cases
40 acres. Soil to be used for orchard
purposes is limited to 40 acres, while
that for alfalfa and other grasses to
so acres.
The work Of the reclamation service
has been simply marvellous, nine pro-
jects having been completed in these
few years, and % others are in course
of construction; several of these will
be finished during the present year.
When these projects, counting those
completed, shall all have been accom-
plished, approximately 100000 acres
OF ground, valued at s90,0O0,O0O will
have been reclaimed and land tracts
whereon few years ago existed only

OUR FARMS AND BATTLEsHIPs
Cost Of One 12-inch Gun would Re.
claim 1871 Acres Of Land, HON.
ing 1856 People.

Mr.. B. F. Yoakum, one of the lead.
ing railroad men Of the country, In
his address to the Oklahoma farmers
the other day, said: "a 40-acre farm
of irrigated land will comfortably sup
port family of five. 1t costs $55, 900
to make Pinch gun. The money
that goes to pay for this gun would
reclaim 1911 acres of land, providing
homes for 1876 people. When all the
guns on all the battleships are shot
one time the government blows off in
noise and smoke $4,000. This would
reclaim more than 1000 acres of land,
giving homes to more than 500 farm
ers and their families. The money
consumed in powder is lost to all the
future. The farmer who buys the REL
claimed land must pay the govern
ment back in 10 years, so it does not
cost the government anything"

Prepare for snrlnn.

This is a great time to prepare soil
for next spring planting, says Field
and Farm. Plow ard water in the fall
has been our slogan for clay and
adobe farms and it works out every
time. Many farmers neglect this i'm
portant work on the excuse that they
are too busy with their late beet har-
vest or are sheeped out with their
operations in the feed yards. Still it
is well to add in this connection that
farmers everywhere are giving more
thought to this subject and are apply
ing themselves to the work better
than they did 10 years ago, SO that
it is evident that our preaching has
had some effect. Plow today and
run the water tomorrow, or If the
ground is too hard reverse the opera
ton. Any way will do, just so the
land gets good soaking. We have
had such dry weather that this fall
irrigation becomes doubly imperative

.PAsTuRING ON A DRY FARM
More Difficult Of Production Than Any
Other Crop Owing to Lack
of Moisture.

1t is more difficult to obtain produc.
tive pastures under dry farming con.
ditions than to obtain other crops.
This is owing to the fact that while
they are growing but little can be
done to increase the moisture content
In the SOIL This fact should be du-
ly recognized by those who till such
lands and they should depend less
on pasture and more on forage for
their stock. than II they lived in more
moist areas. The two most useful
grasses for pasture are bromus and
western rye. For hay, alfalfa will
be a chief reliance. 1t may be es-
tablished on well pulverized new
breaking, but 1t will do better on older
land. Too much must not be ex-
pected by way of yield. From ton
to 1,a tons will probably represent an
average yield. But with one ton or
more of alfalfa per acre and three
tons OF corn fodder per acre. food for
live stock should not be scarce.

eeaeh Pits Tor Planting,

south. when taken up to plant in the
orchard, were rs a rule devoid of fl
orous roots, and only a straight or tap
root, with one or two coarse side
roots, which made them unpopular
with the planters.
Fall planting and leaving them un-
disturbed in the nursery row was the
reason assigned for the lack of fibrous
or lateral roots.
The New Jersey nurserymen
thought that the winters of this sec
ton were too severe; or the constant
freezing and thawing would heave the
pits out of the nursery row, and to
avoid the poor root system in particu-
lar Of the fall-planted seed; avoided the
fall system of planting altogether, and
adopted the bedding system-putting
the pits into bed about four feet
wide and extending it according to
quantity of seed bedded.
The seed was put in the beds from
five to eight inches deep, and some
sand or soil mixed with them, then
covered over about four inches deep
with sand or soil and left until they
sprouted in the spring.

The peach. which is supposed TO be
a native of Persia and China, was
brought from Persia into Italy by the
Romans. and soon found its way into
Britain and France, and is supposed to
have been brought to this country
about 1880 by the settlers.
In it's adaptability to the soil and
climate of this country the peach has
as wide range as any other fruit and
the fruit is considered the greatest
luxury of it's season, writes E. S. Black
in Rural New Yorker. New Jersey had
the distinction for years of being
one of the greatest peach-growing
states in the country, and old men
have told me of the immense crops
that they have seen grown on the then
virgin soil, and which often had to be
made into peach brandy, as the mar
kets were glutted with the fruit and
transportation facilities were few and
far to reach. Delaware, Maryland,
Virginia, New York, California and all
the western states looked to New Jer-
sey for supply of peach trees. MUIR
serymen in other states soon found it
profitable to grow the trees, and many
builders from New Jersey found profit
able employment among them, so that
now the growing of peach trees, as
with other nursery stock, is not con-
fined to any section, and a tree grown
in one section is just as good as that
grown in another, if it was strated
from as good a seed grown in healthy,
clean soil and conditions, and budded
with healthy bud, and labeled true
to name.

August and September.

Progress Of Irritation.

When the national reclamation act
was passed in 1902 there were in TIE
governments name, in the 16 states
affected. 600.000,O00 acres Of arid land,
Of which it was estimated possible to
reclaim sufficient to support 100000
people. BY 1911 the reclamation SER
vice will have reclaimed nearly 2,OOO,-
900 acres. at an estimated cost of
$40 1000. 900.
The construction cost of irrigation
is returned to the government from
the sale of land. the proceeds to be
again used in furthering irrigation.
The work Of the irrigation congress is
yet in its infancy, yet it is making a
garden spot and an empire of the
"great American desert"
