If the season seems dry, pack again
after seeding, and if the weather con-
tinues dry, harrow lightly when grain
is two to three inches high.
The same general plan can be fol.
lowed for corn. The manure may be
applied during the fall and winter
months, on top of the ploWing. Sin
gle-disc early in the spring, to hold
moisture already in the soil and put
the moisture that may fall in spring
rains. Harrow after every heavy rain.
Double-disc before planting, and cross
harrow and plant Immediately. This
will give an excellent seed-bed. 1t
will be seen that this method calls for
some extra work that many may re-
gard as unnecessary. A comparisol
of the labor charge, on an acre basis,
shows the extra labor charge will be
around $1.54 for dry land farming, as
compared with the old style. In
years when plenty of moisture pre-
walls perhaps some of this charge
could be cut out, with just as good
results. At the present price of
wheat, this would represent one and
one-half bushels of wheat. During
the last two seasons, when drouth
has hit the farms Of Minnesota SO
badly, if the land had been handled
as described above, I feel sure that
the difference in yield per acre would
have been far in excess of the above
figures. In many cases, the differ
ence between a good crop and fail
ure would have been realized.

Dry Land Farming
in Minnesota.
BY L. 3. Bassett, Assistant
Professor of Farm Manage
ment, MINI. Agr. College.
!. \ :. = :. :. :. = :. = :. .:

The term dry land farming is slight
ly Misleading; as, strictly speaking,
there is no such thing. The term is
generally considered to mean the
method of soil-tillage employed ty
farmers in the semi-arid country OF
the West, where the rainfall ranges
from twelve to twenty inches. Prac-
tically every state west of the MissiS-
sippi river has large areas where dry
land farming can be successfully car
ried on. Auny yields of from twenty
five to thirJy-fOur bushels per acre Of
winter wheat have been reported, and
some few have reached forty to fifty
bushels, and all this has been &C
cOmplished On an average rainfall OF
from fifteen to twenty inches, simply
by using the best known methods Of
conservation of soil moisture.
Minnesota has an annual rainfall Of
about tWenty-seyen inches, and by
draining the low places and applying
dry land methods of tillage, I believe
the smaIl-grain yield can be doubled
during the next ten years.
There are two types Of dry land
farming; one type followed where the
average annual rainfall is from twelve
to fifteen inches. Where only one
crop in two years is produced, one
half of the farm is "summer-tilled," or
80 cultivated as to retain all available
moisture, each season, and the other
half is producing crop.
The second type is followed where
rainfall ranges from sixteen to twenty
inches and under this system a crop
is produced every year. This is the
system that can be followed with
profit by Minnesota farmers. In order
to give a better understanding Of this

BY CONSOLIDATED SCHOOLS
Farmers Children Enjoy Advantages
Equal to That of City.

Since the farmers contribute more
than any other class to the wealth Of
the state, it is but fair that the state
should provide for their children the
best that there is in the way of educa-
tional facilities. This the state of
Minnesota is endeavoring to do
through the liberal provision it now
makes for state aid to consolidated
schools, where the children of almost
every rural community may enjoy ad-
vantages equal to any in the city
schools. If any such community shall
hereafter lack such advantages, it will
usually have only it's own non-progres-
siveness to blame.

BOYS JUDGING CONTEST
At The STATE FAIR
in Passing on Live Stock,
Wheat and Corn.

The ability to correctly measure, by
each Individual animal in a group of
horses, cattle or swine, and to assign
to each it's place in the order of actual
merit, regardless Of snowy appear
ances, is each year receiving greater
recognition as essential to the train
ing of the agriculturist. Indeed, on
such ability will depend, in large
measure, the degree of his success in
the conduct Of his farm. Without it,
he is at the mercy of chance-the
easy prey of unscrupulous men who
know his Deficiencies.
Equally important is the ability to
measure correctly the value of differ
ent samples Of corn and wheat for
seed. On it depends the size Of the
crops to be gathered.
These considerations have moved
the management Of the Minnesota
State Fair, this year, to institute a
Boys Judging Contest, in which eleven
prizes, aggregating $500, will be
awarded to those boys, under twenty
one, showing the greatest proficiency
in judging live stock, wheat and corn.
The prizes are in the form of scholar
ships in the Schools of Agriculture at
st. Anthony Park. CrookstOn and Nor
ris-the winner to choose his school.
They range in value from $25 to $100.

Scoidinq.

Scolding is mostly habit. 1t Is
often the result Of nervousness and
an irritable condition of both mind
and body. A person is tried or annoy
ed at some trivial cause and forthwith
commences finding fault with every
thing and everybody within reach.
Scolding is a habit very easily formed.
1t is an unreasoning and unreasonable
habit Persons who once get into the
way of scolding always find something
to scold about. If there is nothing
else they begin scolding at the mere
absence of anything to scold at. 1t Is
an extremely disagreeable habit 1t Is
contagious. Once introduced into q
family it is pretty certain in short
time to affect all the memberships
change.

Legitimate transfers like the
above have more bearing on the
possibilities of southern Idaho than
all the flaming literature that the
eastern land promoters can distrib-
ute. 1t is practical illustration
of what can be accomplished in this
section. 1t was only few years
ago that the land referred to was in
sage brush, like many pieces on the
north side, and was purchased at
s25.O0 per acre. What can be
done on the south side necessarily
follows can be accomplished on the
north side tract, as it is generally
conceded that we have many ad-
vantages, in the way Of drainage,
and the productiveness OF the soil
and sales like the above should be
an incentive to everyone To get their
land cleared a. soon as possible, az
the average buyer now is looking
for improved farms, for which he is
willing to pay good prices, believ-
ing them cheaper than the sage
brush land that takes time anc
money to prepare for seed.

PROPOSES TO SHOW THEM.
The People Of the Northwest Arrang-
Ing for Advertising of Ma
tlOnai Scope.

~- ~~F~
The question OF the most effec-
tive way of advertising the resour-
ccs of the northwest, is just now
agitating the commercial clubs, and
Others interested in building
up this section of the United States.
That we have the natural resources
here for one Of the most productive
countries in the world, goes with
out saying, and while the fact il
generally known throughout the
east, a practical exhibition Of what
we produce is more convincing than
volumes of literature. In fact we
sometimes think that too little at
tention has been paid to the adver-
tising matter sent out, especially by
land promoters, and while the facts
in general are not to be disputed,
this advertising is written in a mis-
leading manner, and many have
come to this section with the idea
that the country was flowing with
milk and honey, and have been
sorely disappointed to find that it
requires labor, patience and money
before they can enjoy the fruitful
results.
There is no need to exagerate re-
garding the possibilities of southern
Idaho, as the truth is strong enough.
While the people here have full
confidence that il is the best section
of the Northwest, il is now up Ia
them to demonstrate in a practical
way to their eastern brother what
can be done here with a little labor
and perseverance.
This they propose Ia do the com
ing fall by exhibiting the actual
products Of our soil throughout tn,
middle and eastern states, and the
most effective method of doing thi,
is what is now being discussed
The various land shows to he helc
this fall will be stocked with oul
products, and one of the latest anc
probably most effective advertising
devices we have seen agitated, is s
special train of possibly twelve cars
each car To be devoted Ia the dis
play from some one state, thus EN-
bracing an exposition on wheels o
twelve of the western and north
; western states. This scheme, i
carried through, will be under thu
supervision of the Western Develop
ment Association, and from appar
ent details promises to be mos
effective and thorough manner il
which to display our products.
Again, we say, however, tina
much care should be exercised il
preparing the literature that vii
, be distributed on this jaunt. lie
it be confined to actual facts. Tn
simple truth regarding the possibil
tiles of Southern Idaho is far NOR
effective than the exagerations sen
5 out by some localities.
