July, 1776, will be the most memorable
epoch in the history of America. l am

by succeeding generations as the
great anniversary festival. 1t ought

to God Almighty. 1t ought to be
solemnized with pomp and parade,
with shows, games, sports, bells, bon
fires and illumination from one end of
this continent to the other, from this
time forward forevermore"
The resolution for independence
was, as these letters show, really
adopted July 2. But the formal De-
claration of independence was adopted
July 4, and copies Of this declaration,
prepared by a committee of five head

Colonies are and of a right ought to
be free and Independent states; that
they are absolved from all allegiance
to the British crown; that all politi-
cal connection between them and the
State Of Great Britain is. and ought
to be, totally dissolved"

Principles Of Dry Farming.

According to an article contributed
to Golfers Weekly by H. S. Rogers of

principles of successful dry farming
are: "Plow deep, turn under the

mulch. to prevent evaporation; sum-
mer fallow, to gather two years moist
ure for the crop; develop indigenous
plants and seeds that will mature in
a short season and resist drouth; fight
the winds, by growing windbreaks and
studying means of cultivation thatyill
resist the pulling on the soil; rotate
crops, to preserve fertility or restore
