Two or three Irish societies oppose
the reciprocity treaty with England
because they hate that country. Two
or three German societies oppose It
because they fear it might, in some
mysterious way, assist England in a
struggle with the Fatherland. But the
country is hardly apt to be controlled
by such sentiments as. these. Men
who come to this country to live
should leave their former affiliations
and sentiments in the old countries
and not introduce them into American
political life.

PRACTICE OF DRY FARMING
Principles Consist In Deep Flowing
and Thorough PulVerlzation to
Retain Winter Moisture.

Hon F. w. Mondell of Newcastle,
Wyo., the president OF the dry farm
ing congress held at Spokane, Wash
ington said: DRY farming in its mar
rover and more restricted sense is
applied to the practice of agriculture
and the growth of crops in regions OF
limited rainfall through conservation
of the natural moisture. In its broad
er sense dry farming as preached by
this international congress embraces
the theory and practice of scientific
agriculture through which all avail
able plant fod is conserved and util.
ized in such a manner as to produce
the best, the most certain and most
continuous results"
The practical principles OF dry
farming consist in deep plowing, thor
ough pulyerization of the soil to a
depth OF six to eight inches, as a
deep, finely pulverized soil will hold
most all the winter moisture from
rain and snow. On the other hand, a
rough, badly plowed and narrowed
land will allow most of the rainfall
to run off the land and be lost to the
growing crop.
