DRY FARMING IN IDAHO

| Idaho Falls; IDAHO, Aug. 2l.-That
dry farming methods, when properly
followed, are successful has just been
demonstrated by Professors Briggs,
Kearney and Shantz, Of the depart
ment of Agriculture, who in behalf
of the department. have completed
an investigation of the dry farms in
this valley. Professor Briggs, before
leaving this city, stated that in ALL
of the travels of the committee 1t
has not seen either irrigated or non
irrigated farming which produced bet
ter results than were to be found on
the dry farms here, in the face of the
fact that the year has been one of
severe drought.
The Woodsmansee and Webster
Farm of 5000 acres is producing
2,4OO acres of Turkey red wheat, that
will average not less than 40 bushels
when threshed. This result is obtain
ed under dry farming tillage meth
ods, and the use of 80 pounds of seed
to the acre.
Mr.. c. H. Woodmansee of Rexburg,
Idaho ,one of the owners of this ranc
has been invited to address the Sixth
International Dry Farming Congress
to be held in Colorado Springs, Octo-
Der 16 to 20, explaining the methods,
both of tillage and business, utilizedr
on the great ranch of this company.
The company will also make an exhib
it at the exposition held in connec- /,
tion with the congress. Mr.. Wood
mansee is said to be one of the most
exacting farm operators in the west.
and is able to tell at the close of
each year to fraction of a cent the
cost of plowing, harvesting and hand
ling his crop.
In this vicinity the Government men
found $4,000 acres of dry land grown
grain theat will run from 80 to so
bushels to the acre. In addition to
this, the valley is now harvesting
$780, 10000 acres of diversified dry-farm-
ed crops, all of which are producing
heavily. The valley already has about
200,O 900 acres of dry farmed land un-
der what is known as summer tillage
or fallow which will be seeded this

Will Build Warehouse and Increase Stock
Railroad cause of Increased Business

We ares ip .ormed by the Ames
Mercantile company that it is in
creasing its capital stock to $4,000
in preparation for wider range OF
activities and a much heavier ganer-
al merchandise stock. This business
started with capital of $4,000 little
over three years ago, and repeated
additions of its capital have since
became necessary in order to keep
pace with the growing volume Of
business.
The company plans to handle its
goods as much as possible in car lots
and now has orders placed for sew
eral carloads for the earliest poss-.
ible delivery at Cowdrey. The man

agement would prefer to await the
completion of the railroad into Wal
den before ordering very heavily, but
the demands of the trade are such
that number of Cowdrey deliveries
will be absolutely necessary.
OF course more warehouse and
salesroom facilities are imperative al
will soon be added, but no haste
has been shown in this matter for the
very good reason that with the ad-
vent of the railroad, it is expected
the heavy building materials will be
considerably cheaper.
The company intends to extend its
lines of merchandise and fully meet
the growing demands Of it's business.
