tioD an enormous loss in other farm
products, simply because they failed

saws q dispatch from Colorado Springs.
This is the declaration of Secretary
John z Burns of the international
Dry-Farming Congress who is now
preparing to conduct the Sixth Con
gres-. which meets in that city next
October@
Mr. Burns had just read the re-
port Of The United States Department
of Agriculture for August. showing
thar loss under the 1911 crop. Be
fore him lay a sheaf of wheat raised
by !. VI. Bradshaw of Peyton, Colo.
who has just threshed an average of
20 bushels per acre from 100 acres,
patches in which ran as high as 81
bushels. On the Bradshaw land only
four inches of moisture fell from the
time this wheat was planted, Septem-
Der -, to the day it was cut. July
Is, and there is lot a live stream in
% miles. This land was summer
titled tina is carefully cultivated and
the weeds kept down the summe be-
fore it was planted. This is one of
the tenats of scientific dry-farming as
taught by the Congress. 1t is APP
plicable to every part of the land,
says Burns. The average of all wheat
il the Z. S. according 10 the govern
ment is only 14.5 bushels, and the
quality is 80 as4against 92.6 last year.
SO there is nothing wrong with the
1911 wheat but lack of moisture.
Every farmer in the land could
have done as Mr.. Bradshaw did with
his little four inches of rainfall, had
he been intelligent enough to study
dry-farming methods and willing to
do the necessary work" declared Mr..
Burns, Some day they will prepare
to meet drouth as they do all other
adverse phenomena of nature, and
overcome it, too"
