HOW TO HANDLE FREIGHT

To find the best method CT
handling freight shipments with
the least possible loss and DAM
age. the Atchison, Topeka &
Santa Fe Railway company has
arranged for a series of ''infor-
nation meetings" along the line,
to be attended by officials and
employees who have to do with
the actual movement of freight
packages from the time they are
delivered to the consignee. Every
meeting-is a free-for-all, anybody
with a suggestion for the i'm
provement of the service having
the privilege of the floor. A
great railroad system like the
Santa Fe pays hundreds of thous-

SATURDAY. MAY 20

Another good rain fell the early
part of the week which adds to
the assurace of a large quantity
of crops being planted in eastern
New Mexico. Every farmer on
the plains is prepared and will
not hesitate to plant a big acre
age.
A well known farmer, who is
is situated about ten miles south
west of town was saying that the
moisture Of 2.29 inches we had
two weeks ago was almost enough
to make good crop if the proper
cultivation was given, but now,
we all ought to be convinced of
the fact that an excellent crop
will be raised this year.
The moisture of Saturday and
Sunday was 1.01 of an inch, MAX
ing a total for the last three
weeks of nearly four inches. The
country all over the territory has
been reported to have had plenty
of moisture SO it is undoubtedly
true that these rains have been
general throughout the South
west.

lookout for plans to reduce ex-

Fe authorities say that the ''in-
formation meetings" promise
good results. So soon as one of
these meetings is called to order,
the main question goes before
the house something after this
fashion: What practical meth
DDS can be adopted for decreasing
loss and damage to freight ship
ments?

There has been a lot of news
paper talk about dry farming in
the west talk about this system
and that system as if it were a
thing applicable only to semi-arid
conditions. One man says he
knows all about it, and it all de-
pends on deep plowing. Another
man says he knows all about it,
and deep blowing means failure,
unless you pack the sub-soil. An
other expert" says the best
results are obtained by no plow-
ing at all, but by disking lightly.
Where the rainfall is irregular
or less than fourteen inches crop
every two years andin the mean
time summer till your land, thus
storing up water and plant food
for the coming year," says Pro
fessor Campbell. Don't you do
it," shouts Professor Chilcott of
the United States agricultural
department, you will ruin your
soil. and besides you will get no
crop, have tried it and know"
This gable and conflict of au-
thority has served to rattle and
mystify the public, and notwith-
standing the fact that bumper
crops have been grown every
year by the Campbell system in
every portion of the plains coun-
try, the great mass of people are
from Missouri when the agricul-
tural possibilities of the great
plains are under discussion. :

NO such Thing AS
DRY FARMING


the last five years about dry
farming" in the semi-arid belt.
There can be no such thing as
dry farming To grow crops
you must have moisture. 1t must
come as rain or be put on the
ground by surface irrigation OF
under it through some process OF
su5-irrigation. To talk of drouth
resistant crops is a waste OF
breath. The whole question is
one of the conservation of the
natural supply of moisture. If
ten inches of moisture will grow
a crop, and that much can be
conserved and held in the soil,
out of the annual rain fall, well
and good. If you can't get it and
hold it, your crops will suffer for
want of a drink.
Nature has provided the means
to subdue and place to use all
that vast open plain west of the
Tooth meridian. 1t has given it
a tight soil, with a high capillary
capacity that will take in and
hold, if properly treated, suffi-
cient moisture to mature the
average crop. The soil is the
natural reservoir for storing
moisture. 1t is better and less
expensive than the best concrete
reservoir ever built by the recla-
nation service, now spending its
millions to hold the surplus water
of the mountains.
The words dry farming" are
misleading and should be used
only to distinguish irrigation from
the old method Of farming by
guess and the grace of God.
Scientific soil culture as taught
by Professor Campbell, the
greatest soil expert in the world
today, will insure crops under
the conditions that exist west of
the dead line, and double the
yields in the Mississippi valley.
Where under natural condit-
ions there is too much water the
wise man bitches and tiles his
land to get rid of what he does
not want and can not use. Where
on the other hand, under natural
conditions, the rain fall is not
enough, the wise man prepares
to conserve it in the best and
easiest possible way for the use
Of the growing crops-he takes
measures to prevent it from flow
ing away-he stores it in the
soil and holds it there.
The chief difference between
irrigation in the arid regions un-
der a reservoir system and the
Campbell system of soil culture
as practiced on the eastern slope
of the Rocky mountainsis simply
one of method. In the one case
the irrigator stores the storm
water in an artificial reservoir
and allows it to flow on the land
when he thinks the crop needs
it; in the other css, the farmer
stores the storm water in the
soil and allows the plants to use
| it when they need it.
The problem then is-given
eighteen inches of rainfall (which
when twelve inches fall during
the growing season is ample),
how to put and keep the soil in
a condition to receive and to re-
tain this moisture until such time
as the crops may need it. This
is done by thorough plowing and
the proper subsequent cultivation
The ground must be in condition
to absorb the rain that falls, the
sub-surface must be firmed so
as to hold it and be ready to de-
liver il up when wanted, and the
surface must be kept loose
(mulched) to prevent evapora-
ton. These are the principles of
scientific soil culture applied to
the one phase of moisture con-

They are Chunks OF Money, So Don't
Neglect Them
Some people think a hog can get
along anyway, anywhere. and any
how-he is contented as Just hog
and no thought is taken for his health
or comfort.
AS he is nothing more than Il good
chunk Of money if properly develop
ed, II Is a foolish waste to neglect
him. The hog has no more sentiment
than a hen. but he will think or suf-
fer according to the way he is treated.
Drafts are prime promoters Of
colds, which develop into pneumonia
and what Is generally known as
swine fever.
1t Is important that the bottom
boards OF the hog house should be
thoroughly well battened and the
divisions between the pens should be
treated In the same way.
Too many men who keep hogs pay
no attention to the ventilation OF
their winter quarters, or II they at
tempt to ventilate at all they do little
more than leave few cracks around
the bottom through which the cold
air can get In, but provide no way
for It TO get out.
Ample ventilation should be pro-
vided from the top OF the house. and
not by underneath drafts.

lice should be destroyed at once. We

mixture of crude oil and crude car
bolc acid mixed fifty parts crude oil
to one part crude carbollc acid, and
find that this does the work in a
very thorough and effective manner.
on the cattle we apply II with a

prefer to use a brush, or to saturate a
