copseryator of Mrs. Lawrence's estate,
on the ground that his appointment was
contrary to public policy"

FARMERS TAKING UP
DRY FARMING WORK
THOSE WEST OF RIVER NOT DIS
COURAGED BY DRY SEASON
LAST YEAR BUT CHANGE
THEIR METHODS TO SUIT
RAINFALL.

Pierre, S. D.-Reports from al
the country west of the Missouri riv
er show that the homesteaders were
not discouraged by the dry weather
of last year but are busily at worR
in their fields getting in the seed
from which they expect to reap a har-
vest next fall. They are all develop
ing along lines of "dry farming
which means deep blowing and con-
tinuous cultivation Of the soil fol-
lowing rains. By this method they
conserve the moisture which gets in
to the soil and can feel an assurance
OF a crop with a far less amount of
rainfall than usual. The dry farm
ing and conservation congresses
which have been held in this city last
summer and last winter did more to
spread the gospel of water conserva-
ton in the soil than thousands Of
pamphlets would do, as it was DEM
onstrated through talks by practical
farmers who had tried it out and
who told of their actual experience.
Many new settlers are coming, and
II they accept the experience Of the
older settlers, they will be saved the
expense Of going back east on ac-
count Of failures caused by attempt
ing to force the country to conform
to their ideas Of what is the proper
method Of farming, instead of con-
forming themselves to the needs of
the country in which they have set
tied.
