II the Wall Street Journal is to
be believed, the average Amerci-
can family can't have as many
wooden blankets AS it had in 1860.
The journal says that, On an
average each family buys only
half as many yards of wooden
blankets as, it bought fifty years
ago. The reason for this blanket
shortage is found in the fact that
the United States can't produce
much more than half the wool it
uses and the traiff makes the price
too high for people to afford
blankets Of so expensive lateral
A. wool. Hence they use
t]dultcratcd wool or cotton Blankets.

tariff digs into the comforts of

GETS RESULTS BY
DRY FARMING

S. H. Voltaire. who some time
ago acquired a tract of land Just
east Of town and is now cuitivat-
ing a large portion of the land by
the sO-called dry farming methods,
is very much pleased with the
results so far obtained. He states
that all the crops that he planted
this season r doing fine without
irrigation. depending entirely on
what rain falls and the moisture of
the ground. Potatoes are up
from eight to ten inches high,
squash vines are about ready to
run and a trial set of alfalfa hay
is three inches high and gives
every evidence Of maturing.
Other vegetables that he has
planted are looking we'll and he
believes that his project is going
to be a grand success. On account
OF the land not being fenced. Mr..
Voltaire says he has had consider
able trouble with the rabbits in his
garden. but he says this will be
overcome when the land is fenced.
In speaking Of dry farming in
general Mr.. Voltaire states that IL
the seed recommended by the
government is used he believes
that dry farming will be made a
success in many sections through
out the state. - Humboldt Star.
