DRY FARM FACTORS
Certain Course Of TiIIage Neces-
sary for the Winter Crops.
TiIIage and Cropping Operations Must
Be Directed in Such Manner
as to Make Fullest Use of
Natural Precipitation.

Alfred Atkinson, agronomist of
Montana Agricultural college. Boze-
man, Mont. and member of the board
OF governors of the Dry Farming con-
gress. at the recent Dry Farming con-
gress held at Billings, Mont. dis
cussed Dry Farm Crop Production
| Essentials" He said in part:
Included in the aim of the Dry
Farming congress in an effort to
bring to the knowledge of the world
the facts regarding the possibilities Of
the non-irrigated farming lands of
the arid and semlarid regions. in or
der that these lands may be brought
into state of usefulness; and to as
sist the farmers who take up these
lands to succeed and become perma-
nent contentcd home builders in the
communities.
In the light of the knowledge so
far gained by farmers and investi-
gators, 1t would seem that there are
certain broad essentials which must
be observed if the farmers are to con-
tinue in this branch of agriculture.
have chosen to emphasize two which
seem to merit the special considera-
ton of dry farmers These are:
Proper moisture conserving soil till
age. end due regard for the practices
which will maintain the soil in a pro-
ductive state.
THE name of this branch Of agri-
cultural science dry farming i'm
plies an unusual condition in relation
to the supply of moisture. In fact
the only particular in which this class
of farming differs from the humid or
irrigation farming is in the matter of
limited moisture supply. The farmer
must, therefore, direct his tillage and
cropping operations in such man
ner as to make fullest use of the
natural precipitation. This is essen
tial in order that the plants may
grow. and equally so in order that the
plant food supply locked up by ma.
ture in the soil may be brought into a
soluble state and SO become available
Surface cultivation must be practiced
at the proper time, and early matur-
ing, hardy strains of the different
crops must be planted.
"As new farming communities are
opened up, the tendency is for those
who first take up the lands to start
Swimming process. BY this mean to
grow soil reducing crops like wheat
or other cereals year after year, and
return nothing to the land to COM
pensate for the food elements re-,
moved in the crops harvested. If dry
farmers make this mistake it will be
in spite of the warning of past ex-
periences. The community, the state,
the nation and the world have an in
terest in the store of plant food held
in the soil as this is a great treasure
house, from which future generations
must get their supply of life's neces-
stiles.
"The dry farmer cannot grow wheat
continuously without inviting disas-
ter. He must include soil improving
crops such as alfalfa and peas to keep
up the humus content and nitrogen
supply, and must grow live stock in
order that the valuable plant food ele-
ments may not be needlessly shipped
from the farm"

COTTAGE Cheese.

In making cottage cheese skim milk
is allowed to sour and the curd isl
then broken up and held at a tempera1
ture OF about 100 degrees for three to-
four hours, or until it has become suf-
ficiently firm. The whey is then
drained off and the curd placed unden
slight pressure for a time. The curd
is either consumed Immediately or is;
packed in tubs and placed in cold
storage. It is prepared for eating by,
moistening with either milk or cream!
Sometimes it is made up into shapes
and wrapped in tinfoil. No ripening
is ever allowed,

Manurino the Earm.

Farmers very often apply not less
than 20 tons OF stable manure per.
acre to few acres and allow the re-
mainder Of the farm to take its
chances. It would be wiser economy
did they apply the 20 tons as a top
dressing to three acres and then grow
clover with this supply of plant food.
AS rule manure should be kept near
the surface Of the soil, should be ap-
Piled frequently and be used to insure
a growth Of some fertilizing crop at
regular intervals, SO as to cheaply
maintain the productive capacity Of
the soil.

Land Reclaimed.

The national reclamation act was
passed in 1902. At that time there
were in the governments name in the
16 states affected 100000 acres Of
arid land. of which 1t was estimated
possible to reclaim sufficient to sun
port 50.Oo0,000 people. BY 1911 the
reclamation service will have re.
claimed 100000 acres. at an est.
mated cost of $70.00O,00o. There are
40.0o0,000 acres Of arid land !; suscep.

BIG IRRIGATION PROJECT
LAUNCHED IN EMERY

Castledale, Oct. Another in
mense irrigation project In the Greea
river county has been launched. The
state land board has granted the applt
cation Of the Green River Irrigatios
company for the temporary segre9-
tion of upwards of $500 acres d
arid lands on either side OF the Cree
River in Grand and Emery counties
The company proposes TO obtall
water by building a dlverting daa
twenty OF thirty miles up the Gree'
river from the first upper acreage;
and carry the water by gravity ditch
es and fumes down either side of the
stream TO the land, AS the pipe lire
on the west Will cross the San Rafael
river and at the crossing point .
pumping plant will be erected to irh
gate land that otherwise never would
be reclaimed, il is contended. The
company proposes TO spend some
thing like S5,000.00O TO put water OF
the land, 1t is asserted, $4,000 q
which already has been expended Isl
making preliminary surveys and thl
like, and at this time there are several
engineers In the field The COMPANY
under the withdrawal agreement er'
tered into, must appear before tie
land board every three months and
show that progress Is being made Ia

Considerable interest was added to
the race over a friendly dispute be-

as to the racing qualities of the two
mares. Strife declaring that his mare
was tho best while Marilein, al

that the Denver record holder was by
far the better Of the two. The differ
