LETABRIDeE, ALBERTA,
SECURES DRY FARM.
ING CONGRESS
FOR 1912.

Tho term, dry farming" does not
Indicate all that might be implied. lt
does not mean a system Of irrigations
out n where all the rain fall and
precipitation is stored up and con,
served In the soil. to be drawn upon
Dy scientific and sane processes when
It may be required to forward and in1
crease the growth of grain.
In certain sections Of the CanadiadH
West as we'll as in the Americani
West, there is a portion Of the cound
try IN which the soil is the very best
Tor the growing Of cereals, but the
geographical locations and relative
position to the rain avenues, do not
give the advantage that other parts
possess In the matter Of precipitation.
Agricultural science, however, has
been making rapid progress during
the past few years. and 1t IL now as
certained that 1t Is not altogether tho
number Of inches Of rain that is e.
sential to the growing of crops. but
Its conservation. and that is the
meaning Of DRY farming" DRY
Farming" may we'll be applied to dis.
tricts where there is a heavy rain fall
n better results will follow. Tho
education Of the public into these new
methods, not e exactly. but such
as have had satisfactory demonstra-
ton. is not alone the purpose of these
dry-farming Congresses. One idea 10
to bring into life and into operation
the great areas of splendid land lying
within what might be termed semi
arid. without placing them under the
restrictive and expansive process Of
irrigation.
The Congresses are attended by
thousands and they bring represents
tives from all parts Of the world. The
Province Of Alberta, and also of Sas-
katchewan, has taken . vital interest
In the Congresses which have been
held in the past two or three years.
The Province Of Alberta has made
provincial exhibits. districts have
shown their products, and last year.
several hundred dollars were taken in
prizes; this year the Province Of Al.
berta took prizes ten to one In xoess
Of any state in the Union. Alberta
has won eight out Of twenty special
cups. that province taking one. Leth-
bridge one, Arthur Perry six, and

a matter of location for the Congress
for 1912. the City Of Lethbridgo.
which had put up a splendid fight for
It, secured the Congress by a unani.
nous vote. 1t is expected that the
Lethbridge Congress will be the larg-
est yet held and will be the biggest
convention in the history of Western
Canada. In emphasizing his invita-

ton also asks that the court give to
HIM an equitable division of his wifes
real estate, estimated at $4,000.
According to Blanton he married
the defendant in Texas, April 5, 1910
and she abandoned him September
10, 1910. five months later. During
the period the pair lived together he
alleges that Mrs Blanton was guilty
of gross neglect OF duty, had violent
fits OF temper and charged him with
immoral relations with Miss Camp
bell and other women" Tie accusa-
tons were false and the Jealousy IN
founded he asserts. He also states
that besides being travelling sales
man. he is also in terror of his wife's
threats to bodily injury.
