Prof Attwater left for Houston, his
headquarters, where he will take up
the matter Of issuing invitations to

What Dry Farmer Did
On Ten inches Of Rain

Spokane, Wash, April 30.-That dry
farming methods produce profitable
crops in the Columbia basin uplands
is atfested by Gustave Banderet a
prominent rancher of Okanogan county,
Washington, who has been successfully
raising crops with from seven and a
half 10 u inches annual precipitation
for eight years. according to state
iments made by him during a recent
visit at the international headquarters
OF the Dry Farming congress in Spokane.
He said:
Ny farm IS located ( miles west of
the Columbia river on the uplands AZ an
altitude Of 3,400 feet The soil is a vol
canis. ash. wonderfully fertile and capa-
bic of producing almost any crop adapt
ed To the latitude and altitude The soil
varies IN depth from six inches to six
feet and is underlaid with clay or gravel
It is extremely light and friable and
easy of cultivation On the tracts where
the soil is thin. ranging from six 10
u inches in depth, corn, beans and rye
are most successful. but anything, even
fruit, will grow where II is deep.
Rainfall Only 10 Inches.
Il have kept records of the precipi-
tation during the last eight years, the
average being about 10 inches The
records Of the United States weather bu-
reau show a higher rate of precipita-
ton for the district. but believe my
figures are approximately correct for
the section Immediately adjacent to my
place. The official instruments record
the precipitation at points where the
rainfall is heavier The precipitation

Many Names for Seed.
There are many varietal names used
by sellers Of broom corn seed. but many
of these are simply new names applied to
old strains of broom corn and really do
not represent varieties that have been

sistance, and manufacturers in buyinr
