PRES. j. H. WORST

Mr.. Worst said that the new state
president, C. L. Zimmerman. had started
out just right. Organization was need
ed. For instance, We had but to note
how we'll the medical men of the state
were organized and how they could
make themselves felt in Legislatures.
Farmers never do this. They pay even
ninths of the taxes but they do not exer-
else even ninths of the influence in
legislation.
1t will soon be an absolute necessity
that our lands be made to produce more.
at least twice as much as they are now
producing.
Mr.. Worst spoke of the tendency of
farmers 10 move to town as soon as they
got ahead a little. The good housewife
usually wanted the bath tub, electric
lights and many of the things which
were once looked upon as Injuries.
These conveniences should all be had on
the farm, and in this day 1t is not a
difficult thing to get them. The farm
should have trees and be made attrac-
tive 50 that the children would net care
to move away.
Too many farmers, said the speaker,
have not planted any trees yet. They
have been talking about it for 20 years
but have not made the start. Just make
a cheerful home, pleasant surroundings,
and the city people will want to visit
you often.
Germany has increased crop production
so per cent in the last 20 or 80 years.
The same is also true of other European
countries. The Germans rotate crops
with great accuracy and they put back
more in the land than they take away
in fertility. These sturdy farmers across
the water get an average of 80 bushels
of wheat per acre against 10 in this
country. Our farmers do not need to rob
the distant islands of fertilizers as do
the English and Germans but they should
put back manure and handle the soil so
as to enrich rather than impoverish and
increase their yield two fold.
The greatest heritage the farmer can
leave his children is a beautiful and
productive farm, well stocked with
cattle.
W. C. PALMER ON CORN GROWING
W. c. Palmer has probably given more
attention to the raising of corn than al
most any one in the state. On the Lewis
& Clark expedition a hundred years
ago, while wintering at the place now
known as Mandan. these advance agent
of civilization went to the Indians for
corn and were given the native product.
Therefore he reasoned that we were not
out OF the corn belt. We do not use
Illinois seed to be sure but varieties
better adapted to our climate. One of
the fine things about the raising of corn,
is the fact that the land is prepared for
wheat or some other crop the following
year. The corn crop properly cultivated
is the best kind of summer following,
and the farmer has the fodder in addi-
ton to the ears. There are many ways
in which the crop can be proitably
harvested. Some people turn their
pigs and cattle into the corn field.
In some cases he thought it a good plan
to have every third or fourth row of
stocks left to catch the snow.
The plea of this speaker was that il
is far better to farm so acres and make
money than to lose money while attempt
ing to farm 100 acres.
PROF. THOMAS SHAW
The Dickinson press., 1911-02-04

pert for the Great Northern Ry.. told
some of his experiences with IS demon
stration farms in eastern Montana last
year. He said that on land which had
SSeen properly handled in 1909 he was
able to get wheat yields of 20 bushels
during a crop eason when the rainfall
actually measured but three and one
half inches. On land where the mois-
ture had not been properly conserved
in 1909. he met with a dismal failure
in 1910. Mr.. Shaw stated that it would
be possible to make an entire crop with
out rainfall. providing the moisture had
been conserved in years before and the
cultivation was properly managed
during the crop season. This country.
however, has rain enough almost any
year, but it may not be distributed just
as the careless farmer would have it.
Prof. Shaw said that the sooner our
people accepted the truth and went to
work the sooner they would be able to
double their production. He did not
ARE much when the farmer plowed
providing the ground was moist. but it
should lever be plowed dry. He ex-
planned how foolish it was to summer
fallow the way some farmers do, letting
a rank crop of weeds draw out the
moisture, ETC..
The Dickinson press., 1911-02-04
PRES. WORST ON SCOPE AND
MEAN ING OF THE DRY LAND
FARMING MOVEMENT,

Dry land farming is scientific farm.
ing. It takes 400 pounds Of water to
produce one pound of dry matter. Thu
rainfall is ! ZOO. 600, 900 pounds pei
acre, so that if one half be wasted, the
remainder, if properly conserved, will
produce a crop.
The whole problem resolves itself Their
into the question of tillage and conser
walton.
Pres. Worst advised sufficiently deer
plewina to prevent a run-off of moisture.
A two inch run-off makes all the
difference between success and failure
of a crop. It is we'll to plow deeper,
say fifteen inches once in eight or nine
years. Fall blowing is better than
spring blowing but to do this the stubble
should be disced at once after harvest,
as evaporation is then very rapid.
An important factor of tillage is the
preparation of the seed bed, a factor
often neglected.
Cultivation is another important
matter. Weeds use water faster than
the growing plants and the weeds should
be cultivated out.
Conservation of moisture requires
work and lots of it. The ground must
be kept loose on top. In this way
moisture is not only saved for one crop
but stored up from year to year.
We are going to learn to select plants
that are economical as to water. We
are GOING to succeed in our farming.
No westerner w failed yet to accom-
plish what he set out to do.
Just before the Tuesday afternoon
adjournment some one asked how the
term DRY Farming originated. To
this inquiry Pres. Worst explained that
the term was applicable to a system Of
work above and below the ditch.
In New Jersey they had organized a
Dry Farming Congress for the purpose of
studying better methods of drainage. In
some of the Middle West states it was
the same. Arizona. Colorado and
Wyoming had problems of getting water
onto the land, it being impossible, in
some of the localities, to get moistur e
enough from the clouds in any season
for a crop. Here in North Dakota we
have rain enough 10 get good crops. but
it is not always properly distributed over
the crop season, hence the need of con-

EVENING SESSION

Hon. T. S. Underhill was called to
the platform to preside at the evening
session. On taking the chair he ex-
pressed his great satisfaction in seeing
such a large audience gathered for this
great OCCASION which he knew meant
better things along the lines of farming
in our state.
President C. L. Zimmerman of the
Dry Farming Congress of North Dakota
was first called upon. He was very
enthusiastic over the movement in the
state for better farming methods and
said that it was up to the people to
show the world that there was enough
rain in any season for a good crop. One
of the plans he urged was the immediate
organization by counties and districts of
auxiliary Dry Farming meetings. In his
own county, Morton, a meeting would
be called for March 8 and 9. and he
hoped to have Supt. L. r. Waldron and
a goodly number present from this
locality.
