In Dry
Farming Methods
Contains the Essential Points to bt
Followed Out by Dry Farmers,
and are Very Helpful

The Stark County Dry Farming
association has issued printed
cards which contain pertinent in
structions in dry farming methods
for grain growing. These cards
were distributed at the farmers
meetings which were recently held
at Taylor and Gladstone and are
being sent out to many of the
farmers of that section. The in
structions follow:
Double disc stubble before
blowing.
Plow deep--S to 10 inches
when ground is moist.
Pack with packer or disc
blades set straight-immediately
after spring plowing.
Harrow at least twice before
seeding.
Seed with press or disc drill
wheat IS pounds, oats, pecks-3
clean graded seed.
Harrow at first appearance of
grain growth If crust has formed.
Harrow at three inch growth
and as often as conditions require
to maintain a perfect mulch.
Harrow grain with weeder or
slant tooth harrow.
Don't narrow when ground or
plant is wet.
Do your work with a whole heart
and you will succeed.
Kindly follow the above in
structions and tell your neighbor
to do the same.

Rep. Heinemeyer
Wants State Park
Resolution introduced Praying Con-
gresS to Set Aside Lands
for That Purpose

Hon. @. B. Heinemeyer, repre-
sentative from the ty-eight dis
trict comprising Mercer, Oliver
and Dunn counties, introduced a
resolution praying congress to set
aside 5000 acres of unappropriated
government land in the Killdeer
Mountain district Of Dunn county
for a natural park and game and
fish preserve.
In view of the fact that our state
is settling up SO rapidly, and her
lands are SO fast being appropriat-
ed, it is matter for immediate
action on the part OF the state if
places of historic interest, and nat
ural beauty, or places more valua-
BILE for the propagation and pre-
servation Of game and fish than for
agriculture or other commercial
purposes are to be retained for the
benefit of future generations. Ev.
cry state has points of interest be-
longing to the state and in which
the natural scenic effect is preserv-
ed as far as possible and North
Dakota, in her wonderful develop
ment along business lines should
not overlook the preservation Of
natural and historic marks within
her border.
This preserve besides possessing
natural advantages, is most fortu-
nately situated being sufficiently
distant from other beauty spots Of
the state as not to detract from
their interest, sutf fciently far from
the densely settled portions Of the
state to prove an ideal spot for
game, and 60 thoroughly in it's nat.
ural state as to require little Ell.
pense in its preservation.

farm it better. He told of worth
less land in Kansas, that when
properly cultivated made abundant
yields and thousands of acres
worth only so cents an acre were
today worth 500. The speaker
illustrated his arguments by means
of many charts and drawings and
told many interesting stories of
successes and failures in his
struggles to find out how to pro-
perly till the soil and conserve the
moisture.

Good Crops Expected

The balmy weather this week
has melted considerable snow but
still the drifts are high and solid
and it is hoped they will not all
disappear this month. A late
spring is wanted with plenty of
moisture. So far the conditions
are very favorable for a big crop
and the farmers are preparing to
put in as much as possible.

Could Get Millions

The Great Soil Expert Campbell
Tells How It can be Done In
Other States and This
..Get 100000 more a year for

f4
apostle of good soil culture, is
preaching to North Dakota people.
In an interview at jamestown
recently Mr.. Campbell said:
.'This territory is in the greatest
agricultural region of the country
where farming can be conducted
under the most favorable con-
ditions. 1t has been demonstrated
many times that fifty to sixty
bushel crops of wheat can be
grown; great fields have been
grown that exceeded fifty bushels
per acre and sixty-fve to seventy
bushels an acre is not impossible.
This is a fact.
It has been accomplished by
following scientific methods of
cultivation and by giving due con-
sideration to all the elements which
go to make up the ideal conditions
of plant growth; by making good
seed bed, by using the disc, the
packer, the the harrow and at the
right time so that deep down in
the soil are formed the best seed
termination conditions.
"When this is done farming
becomes business, not gamb-
ling undertaking, and results are
practically certain.
Scientific soil culture means
everything to community. For
instance: ''In each township
there is an average about 10000
acres timber soil capable of pro-
ducing an average yield of about
thirty bushels per acre. This is
conservative. The average yield
is not to exceed twelve bushels,
which at 20 cents would amount
to $168,OOO, when at thirty bushels
per acre this land is of no benefit
either to- the soil itself or the
crop to be sown. 1t took ten
years for him to find out that crop
failures or poor crops usually fol-
lowed when they plowed while the
ground was dry.
There can be no set rule as to
fall or spring plowing; plow when
the soil is moist. The idea of
summer tilling came to Mr.. Camp
bell somewhat by accident. A
neighbor had his crop destroyed by
hail, and Immediately afterwards
the farmer proceeded to work the
then useless land by discing, drag
ging and preparing for another
seasons crop, which when it ar.
rived was bumper.
The idea then came to Mr..
Campbell to summer till the land.
Summer tilling must not be con-
fused with that Of summer fallow-
ing. The latter is merely a
Of the soil and possibly a
partial killing Of the weed seeds,
and while some years produces a
better yield, in many cases pro.
duces a poorer crop.
The summer tilllng Is a process
