DRY FARMER MAKES PROFIT
Even Raises Fir Trees on Soil on
Which Little Rain EnIIs

Denver. July GA remarkable dem
onstration OF the possibilities OF dry
farming is given at Parker. twenty
miles from this place. on the plains.
by E. r. Parsons. who brought his
ideas here from the South African
veldt and by long study has achieved
success in such fashion that he sees
comfortable fortune ahead. Atten-

Quoted special excursions TO his farm
IN order to spread the idea OF deveI-
oping the waste places OF the State
Visitors to the Parsons farm now
must travel Cor five miles over roads
deep in dust. for there have been only
three inches of rain in the neighb or
hood SO far this year. On arrival at
the place one finds an orchard OF $500
cherry trees heavy with fruit, which
is of the sweetest to be found IN the
State. Then there are 1890 bushes red
with currants almost ready for pick
ing The cherry trees are eight years
old and the currant bushes three years
The cost OF cultivation OF his trui,
bearers so far has been $500. and from
their yield Mr.. Parsons has taken in
$500 Most of his products are sold
in the surrounding country.
Chief attention is now being paid
to the growing OF corn. 4 hardy Aus

has been united 10 an Iowa variety.
and the results have been such that 1t

esting. however. is the growing of pine
and fir trees. which have sprung from
shoots taken from the Messy noun
tains. They are large and vigorous,
and show that the plain can be forested
under proper conditions.
In demonstrating what he can do
with the soil, aIr. Parsons takes an
auger and drives ii deep into the soil
that has not been treated. 1t comes
up with the point perfectly dry. He
then goes to the ground which he has
plowed deeply and mulched. that Is

protects the moisture. The anger rs

the lower part covered with what
might be called mud.
Recently the farm OF Mr.. Parsons
has been crossed by the ditch of a big
irrigation company. which is to serve
lands below. The farmer has made no
effort to get any of the water He
says dry farming means the hardest
of work. but he is perfectly content
to go on with 1t.
