1T has been almost a year since

am now convinced that the farmers
OF this section that have any thrift
will soon be very prosperous The
crop this year was a surprise to me.
Yesterday l watched the string of
teams roll into the five grain estab-
lishments till the town was full of
teams. Then l went to the merch-
ants tc learn something as to the
quality of the grain. Mr. Ertle told
me that the grain was of the first
quality. weighing from 81 to 81 lbs.
There is nothing that speaks so

porous and happy farmers. l met
two farmers yesterday that told me
how they had Jared since they came

no three years ago with only money
enough to carry him till Christmas.
He had a wife and seven children.
He had been wage Garner and he
thought that he could not succeed
as he did not have money to buy
horses and machinery. He was per-
suaded to file on a dry farm north

that he now has house on his

A SUBSTITUTE
FOR SUMNER FALLOW.
New Method of Dry Farming That
Is Worth Trying.

A gentleman gifted with a keen
observation who has Travelled much
suggested to the Press last week
during drive through the dry
farming sections, a new method of
summer fallow that was worth an
experiment. 1t is nothing more nor
less than the seeding of fall grain
in June and then pasturing it so
close that it can not joint. This way
is followed in Long Valley, Idaho,
and is proving very successful. 1t
has been followed there for several
years, having been introduced from
Washington. The gentleman said he
would not advise its trial on a large
scale in the sections remote from the
mountains, but in the mountain val
leys and in the foothills he believed
it would prove superior to the pres
ent method He thought a few five
acre tracts could be profitably used
as pasture, even if the plan should
prove to be a failure. Should trial
demonstrate the practicabilty of tn
plan it would solve the question of
stock on the dry farm, because ev-
cry farmer could have all the stock
which his fields would pasture and
be dependent upon the range but for
short time each season, and at
time when the range is at its best.
The suggestion is certainly worth
trial. Conditions possibly may not
be favorable for success here, but
if it is successful elsewhere the bur
den of proof is in its favor. Let
few men who have stock to pasture
give it trial next year. The pasture
will be worth the experiment. and
if the method is successful, great
good to the community will result.
1t is only few years since the idea
OF growing anything here without
irrigation was secuted. and doubt
should not be allowed to stand in
he way of trial

els minute. The machine is a self
feeder and is operated by a large
traction engine A horse and a
large fork were used to deliver the
grain to the men who loaded the
self feeder, and it took but a short
time to dispose of good sized stack
The grain was very fine and made
possible the record above given. The
field was averaging about thirty
bushels. Twenty-Five acres however,
Is said to have gone close to forty
bushels. Some late seeding returned
only about fifteen bushels, and this
reduced the average The quality
of the grain was very high.
Two other machines were working
in sight of the Dawson outfit, but
time TO visit them was lacking.
