1.-THE DRY FARMING CONGRESS
Definite Results Shown - Farmers
Bring Exhibits Of Crops Grown Un-
der Dry Farming Methods.

Uvalde, Tex-That dry farming Is
bringing about marvellous changes for
the better in West Texas; that the
production is being increased and the
harvest made certain, and that the for
merly despised semi-arid region is
now in truth land flowing with milk
and honey, was the story told at the
opening session of the Texas Dry
Farming Congress at Uvalde this
week. The facts presented show con-
clusively that dry farming, or the con-
servation Of the moisture, is both
| practical and successful and is des-
tined to redeem to the pillow within the
next few years thousands upon thou
sands of acres of land which will add
to the State and support a largely in
creased agricultural population.
Enthusiastic men who are actually
practicing with profitable success this
method gathered from twelve or fiji
teen of the counties between San An
tonic and Ell Paso. The stories they
told were of an optimistic nature and
such that will mean a great deal for
future development. Facts show that
since the Introduction of dry farming
the production of cotton between San
Antonio and Ell Paso has increased
from 5000 bales to 100000 bales dur
ing a normal year and will reach not
less than $4,000 bales during the sea-
son of 1911, which has been marked
by one of the greatest drouths known.
Through the planting Of milo maize,
kaffir corn, Egyptian wheat and the
more scientific cultivation of corn, suf-
ficient forage is being produced to
increase the number of fat cattle now
being raised annually.
Where few years ago it took Is to |
rs acres of land to support longhorn
cow, the same acre is now being made
by supplementing it by the acreage
planted in forage to produce from six
to ten head of cattle of much higher
and much better grade. What has
been termed barren wastes are now
loading down the tables of the men
who cultivate the soil with the most
luscious fruits and the most desirable
If vegetables. The West has ceased to
DO looked upon in scornful manner
as a country for farmers and is being
,lassed with the profitable producing
regions of the State.

TEXANS FREEZE TO DEATH
In Binding Snow storm-Bodies
Are Found by chance-Home
at Dallas.

Colorado Springs, Colo-W. A.
Skinner and wife of Dallas, Texas,
met with sudden death in a binding
storm of wind, rain. hail and snow on
the hospital summit of Pixies Peak.
Their frozen bodies were found by
mere chance under a deep snow drift
near the tracks of the cog road at a
1880 feet altitude and within less
than two miles of their destination
Tuesday by boy who was attracted
by a part of the woman's dress flut-
tering in the wind. The SINNERS
started alone on their nine-mile climb
from the Manitou depot to the sum,
mt, expecting probably to be Joined
by other tourists, as is the usual ex-
perience in the resort season Half
way up they were overtaken by the
storm, but continued on their journey,
though insufficiently clad At last,
benumbed by cold and exhausted by
their efforts at climbing, they sat
down to rest. When found they were
tucked in each others arms, and thus
died, probably at the same hour.
Transportation tickets and other let.
tiers and papers established their iden-
tity and home. They were in middle
life and evidently prosperous, as they
were dressed in latest style. The fad
to walk up to the summit to witness
the sunrise is popular and is INDUCED
in by thousands of resorters every
summer.
A pathetic feature of the deaths is
the finding of a letter in SINNERS
pocket, dated Dallas, August Is, from
G. H. Choice, in which these words
occur:
Il hope you are having the time OF
your life in Colorado. l am sending
you an overcoat as per your request.
l hope you don't freeze to death on
Pixies Peak"

Deaths Due to Dust.

A warning against the dangers of
dust was issued recently by the Ma
tional Association for the Study and
Prevention OF tuberculosis, In which
it is shown that the percentage of
deaths caused by tuberculosis in dusty
trades is more than double that for
all employed men in the registration
area of the United States. While
among males generally in the regis
tration area of the United States 14.5
per cent. of all deaths are from con-
sumption the mortality among grin
ders from this disease is 1872 per
cent, and in hardly any of the dusty
trades is it below % per cent. The
percentage of deaths from tuberculo-
sis among all those exposed to metallic
dust is 1863 per cent; to mineral dust,
28.6 per cent; to vegetable fibre dust,
28.8 per cent; to mixed animal and
other forms of dust, 321 per cent, to
street dust, 25.5 per cent; and to

ticle being manufactured. % per cent

War Scare Subsidies and World
Shipments Are Larger.
The Crop Situation Generally
FaVOrs the Bear Side.
CORN is DEPRESSED
Following Selling Pressure and
Predictions of Large Yield.
A Rally Follows and Both Grains
Close Higher.

Chicago, July 27-WHEAT-With the
Morocco situation appearing less acute,
the wheat market today became easy.
Moreover, there were signs of larger
world shipments this week. Dispatches
from India brought word that rain had
fallen in the provinces and also in the
Punjaub. In addition, current gossip re-
garding the American spring wheat crop
inclined to favor the bear side. It was
asserted that the fields have sufficient
moisture for the present and that although
black rust was doing some damage, an
accurate estimate of the actual harm had
been found difficult.
Opening prices were the same as last
night to nc down. September started &c
to &c lower, at Sc to SS1sc and declined
TO 87sz@877sc-
A rally ensued on account of export
sales and the account that for the first
time in a long while shipments from Chi
cago exceeded receipts. There was a
rumor that black rust had appeared at
Regina, N w. T. The close was steady,
&c net higher, at SSZc for September
CORN-Considerable selling pressure
developed in the corn pit A leading au-
thority was quoted as declaring the crop
in good condition and predicting that if
no setback occurred from now on a large
yield might be expected. September
opened unchanged, at 627sc but sagged to
62ssc.
Other reports, however, said to indicate
deficient moisture and Sensauona1ly
poor crop condition led to an upturn- The
close was steady, with September 3z@ssc
net higher, at 63ss9631kc.
OATS-OatS weakened with other grain
and because both in quality and quantity
the ahrvest was turning out better than
expected several weeks ago. September
started a shade to 1zQ9sc off, at 1880 to
397sc and fell to 391hc.
PROFESSIONALISM was less urgent
for hog products and there was plentiful
selling by packers. Initial transactions
were &c lower to 21zc up, with September
delivery $3.50 for pork, ss.571z for lard
and 1910 for ribs.
