STATE OF OKLAHOMA AND
THE DRY FARMING CONGRESS

At the request of the officials con
nected with the International Dry
Farming Congress, which holds its next
meeting in Colorado Springs. Colo.
October 16 to q, I ask the co-opera-
ton of those farmers and citizens Of
Oklahoma who desire TO see our state
represented at the next annual meet
ing Of the congress. Mr.. H. ". Camp
bell, the father of the dry farming sys-
ten. visited Oklahoma and delivered
lectures at the Farmers short course
at Saltwater last January. Could the
people Of our state generally have
known and grasped the advantages of
the system OF cultivation which he
advocated. tens Of thousands Of dol
lars would have been saved each coun-
" in our state during the past dry
season. Many did save their crops by
adopting these methods. Mr.. Camp
bell does not like the words dry farm
ing as q descriptive term. but since
II is best known by that name. the
great national organization for the de-
velopment Of an agriculture peculiar
to the western states has decided TO
hold TO the name dry farming" It
therefore remains The Dry Farming
Congress Dry farming really means
farming in western America, where no
water table" exists in the soil as in
the eastern states. Only surface mois-
ture IS to be expected; that is. mois-
ture TO a depth of less than ten feet
Dry farming therefore means coHser-
vation Of moisture. Ii also has TO do
with stopping blowing soils. with fight
ing insects peculiar to the west and
the problem Of the Russian thistle.
with the growing alfalfa. milo maize.
corn, root crops. and live stock under
the generally dry conditions prevailing.
Thousands OF claims in the west are
held down" by adopting dry farming
methods. dr. Campbell declares that
dry farming means merely scientific
farming for the west At any rate. Ok
lahoma has dry spells" or dry sea
sons every year.
There Will be a meeting OF the state
board Of agriculture in Oklahoma City,
August 10. and I desire 70 ask the co
operation OF the board in securing an
exhibit for the DRY Farming Congress
meeting this fail in Colorado Springs.
But. with The exhibit. delegates from
many counties viii be needed. and
I ask the assistance OF public spirited
citizens. farmers institutes. boards Of
trade, and other commercial bodies in
securing the necessary representation
from each county concerned. Who
will go? At least one hundred dele
gates from Oklahoma should attend
and bring back with them information
and methods adapted to the west and
the southwest. These delegates can
assist DlateriallT n collecting exhibits.

INV luxurious have the negliges of the mod
IoI ern woman become that it requires keen
Ca and discerning eye to determine where
tea gown leaves off and boudor robe
begins.
With our English cousins the sea- the
wearing of tea gown has become traditional. like
the inheritance of title and family estates 1t is
quite as much part of typical English womans
wardrobe the staunch tweeds.
There is one material employed for a tea gown,
especially as it is worn in England, witch l have
seen duplicated here for a neglge and that is vel
vet save for little touches in the way of trimming.
All the exquisite materials and many Of the gar
nitures identical as employed for evening
gowns including satins, lovely iaces chiffon bead
ed and embroidered
At the present time, however there is strong
reaction creeping in favorng classic simplicity OF
line and establishment, superseding the more Ella
borate models and very perishable for lounging
purposes.
NEW MODELS BUILT ON CLASSIC LINES
The designs given on this page are excellent ex-
amples of this treatment.
The first is tea gown of orchid satin with
novel and original drapery of chiffon stimulating
abolero made in one with the sleeves. In the CEN
beaded in varying tones of orchid from light to
dark.
A similar model was in cell blue satin with bo-
lero of chiffon sprinkled with milk-white beads
Less expensive would be fine cotton voile with
bolero of all-over lace chiffon cloth color
and butterfly bow in the centre of satin.
Cream and turquoise. old rose, coral Nile
green would be charming for this purpose.
The last model is an adoption of the classic
Greek with tunic draped higher on one side than
the other. Two materials may thus be employed
as marquisette crepe de chine over satin or all
in one material.
An Easter bride-to-be recently ordered similar
model of old blue crepe de chine with Greek bor-
der for neck sleeves and tunic done in silver braid
Around the waist swung silver cord with tas-
sells
Cotton vo1e. plain or bordered, would be attrac-
tive. Cotton crepe for 10 and IS cents yard,
with braidins In cotton soutache. would be mex
pensive. China silk is also wen adapted for the

All that is definitely known came

All that is definitely known came
in another telegram stating that the
Turkey Red of William Wetzel was
given second prize and the Gold Coin
of B. c. Adams third prize. The
Witzel grain was threshed, but no.
thing is known of the Adams wheat,
as to whether it was threshed or in
sheaf.
1t means something to win second
place even in a competition with
Canada, and all the states west of
Iowa, because it will give our wheat
a reputation that will be worth a
great deal to the farmers, and will
fix the confidence of homeseekers in
this locality. And if the other prizes
mentioned in the telegram also be-
long to this community, it leaves lit
tie to be desired.

SHELTER THE FARM MACHINERY

Now that harvest is over with the
rush of work incident to caring for
and storing the crop, don't forget to
also store the machinery that made 1t
possible to SOW, cultivate and harvest
that crop. The. season of frequent
and prolonged rains is approaching,
and the sight of expensive imple-
ments out of doors, often in the field
where they were last used, should
be an incentive to every farmer to
erect shelter and protect them from
the elements.
1t is safe to say that machinery
left out In the weather the yeaer
around will deteriorate fully as much
If not more during the long period
it stands idle than it will from wear
during the time it is in actual opera
ton. In other words, the life of an
implement will be doubled if it is
properly housed wnen not in use
This is especially true of harvesting
machinery, but applies with almost
equal force to any that is used on
tht farm.
The shelter need not be an expen-
sive one. A good roof is essential but
the walls need not be of matched
lumber even. Stock lumber run up
and down will serve the purpose and
appreciably lower the cost of con-
struction. Neither Is skilled labor
necessary. The average farmer
should be able to erect building
that will serve all practicable puT-
poses without the aid of carpenter
The cost, whatever it may be, will
be insignificant as compared with the
increased life and efficiency of the
farm implements.

(Pocatello Tribune)

That the soil of the Fort Hall tract
north of Pocatello is ideal for straw.
berry culture, and that he feels
strongly inclined to establish here an
8O-acre strawberry nursery, was the
, statement made by II. w. Beatty, OF
Three Rivers, Mich, known as the
strawberry king" of the world. The
Beatty strawberry nursery at Three
Rivers is the largest on earth. Mr..
Beatty owns 160-acre strawberry
nursery at Twin Falls and a similar
one at Jerome. He stopped off be-
tween trains in Pocatello while en-
route to the Twin Falls country, and
was the guest for day of C. W.
Gray, of Gray & Gray, sales agents
for Fairview addition. He in COM
pany with two Bateman brothers
from Alberta, Canada, were driven
in an auto over the Fairview addition
and the Fort Hall tract. Mr.. Beatty
closely examined the soil of the tract
and pronounced it better than the
soil of Twin Falls for strawberries,
and he will return in the course of d
week to look into the matter of pur-
chasing 80 acres for strawberry
nursery here. The only objection
Mr.. Beatty found with the Fairview
lots was that they are being sold
cheap. He says he himself intends to
plat an, addition at Twin Falls and
intends to hold the same sized lots
at $3.50 each.
Mr.. Beatty announced that should
he decide to establish a strawberry
nursery here, he would use 40 acres
Tor nursery stock and 40 acres for
berries for the market. He says that
in Pocatello, where the transporta-
ton facilities are SO excellent, he
feels sure of making profit of $1,000
per acre per year out of strawberries.
Mr.. Gray met Mr.. Beatty's partner
at Seattle last year and all but in
duced him to locate a nursery here
instead Of at Twin Falls and Jerome.
Mr. Beatty said he felt sorry his part
ler did not choose Pocatello, as it
is better located in every way than
either Twin Falls or Jerome.
The Batemans are touring the
northwest in search of location.
They intend to sell out their Cana
dian holdings and remove to the
states. They have already decided
TO locate in Idaho, and Pocatello
looks good to them.

A telegram received from Colorado

brief statement, but one that brought
satisfaction to all. 1t was disappoint-

there is undated anxiety until that
is cleared up. The telegram is az

that the awards were given to the

WHY SPREAD MANURE IN THE
FALL?

Every up-to-date farmer or land
owner knows that the keeping of
farm land up to its highest possible
state of fertility involves the intelli-
gent use of large quantities of barn
yard manure. The question of when
and how to apply it most advantage
ously is, however, sometimes puz-
cling one. Particularly is this true
of the man who grows small grain
only; it being well known, of course,
that manure may prove a detriment
rather than benefit when it's appli-
cation is followed at once by a wheat
or oat crop. But to the man who
makes a practice of growing a culti-
waited crop each year, the disposal of
the annual accumulation of barnyard
manure presents no problem. He
will apply the manure to the land
which is to receive the cultivated
crop.
There are two good reasons for
suggesting that whenever possible,
barnyard manure should reach the
fields in the fall rather than in the
spring of the year. First, there is
less waste of the elements of fertility
by the teaching effects of the winter
and spring rains. Second, when APP
piled in the fall and also turned un-
der by fall blowing, decomposition
sets in Immediately, progresses slow
ly during the winter, then proceeds
rapidly with the warming up Of the
soil in the spring. Nitrogen, one of
the most important of chemical ele-
ments in growing plants, is thus
made available for its use even be-
fore the crop is planted. Fall plow-,
ing, especially when left rough, also
puts the soil in the best possible con-
dition for the absorption and reten-
ton of the winter and spring rains.
If properly worked down in the
spring, capillary is readily re-estab
lished with the under soil and condi-
tons made favorable for reducing to
a minimum the loss of moisture by
surface evaporation during the dry
season. These conditions are not
easily obtained when the manure is
spread in the spring time. Hence,
whenever possible, spread the manure
and plow it under good and deep in
the fall of the year.
