BOOK ON
DRY FARMING
WHAT Is DRY FARMINc-suc-
CESS WITH DRY FARMING
SOME PROBLEMS or DRY FARM
ING SOME OF THE SUBJECTS
TREATED IN THIS WORK.

w, @. Palmer, agricultural college
editor calls attention to matter Of
interest to North Dakota farmers as
follows:
The latest book on dry farming is
from the pen and brain of John A.
Widtsoe. director Of the Utah Elk
pertinent station, with the title Dry
Farming.
What Is Dry Farmins7
He defines it as follows; dry
farming as at present understood Is
the profitable production of useful
crops without irrigation on land that
receives annually a rainfall of twenty
inches or less. In districts Of torren-
tial rains, high winds or other water
dissipating factors the term dry
farming" is also popularity applied to
farming without irrigation under an
annual rainfall of twenty five or even
thirty inches" That includes all Of
North Dakota as well as the states
to the south and west so that every
one tilling land in this state is vitality
interested in learning what the dry
farming methods are so that 1T can
be put into practice.
Success With Dry Farming.
DR.. widtsoe makes this claim:
when the methods OF dry farming
are understood and practiced, the
practice is always successful, but it
requires more intelligence and more
and greater vigilence than farming in
countries that have abundant rain
fall This is certainly encouraging
information, and it would seem that
there would be a grandstand rush for
information that promises SO much. II
any such sweeping statements were
made by a reliable authority of some
method in curing diseases the printing
press could not run fast enough. to
supply the demand until practically
every doctor had copy of the book.
Problems of Dry Farming.
DR.. Widtsoe sums up as follows
1.-THE fundamental problems of dry
farming are then, the storage in the
soil of the annual rainfall; the re-
tention in the soil of the moisture
until it is needed by the plants; the
prevention of the direct evaporation
of soil moisture during the growing
season; the regulation Of the amount
of water drawn from the soil by the
plants; the choice of crops suitable
for growth under arid conditions; the
application of suitable crop treat
ments, and the disposal of dry farm
ing products based upon the superior
composition of plants grown with
small amounts of water. Around these
fundamentals cluster host of minor.
though also important problems"
1t is these fundamental and minor
problems that Dr. Widtsoe treats of
principally in his book-and that is
Just the information every farmer
should have. An experience like last
year should, according to the state
ments above, be unnecessary. Some
will be skeptical. but the same was
true Of the locomotive and the stealn-
boat. Some said they would not move,
but they went just the same and are
going yet.

an audience that taxed the seating ca

Langdon doctors received a hurry
call Friday evening of last week to the

where a man who has been working dur
ing harvest and threshing on the place,
was found to be in a p~recarious cond1-
tion. While hauling grain from the farm
to Nekoma he had fallen from the
wagon, the wheels passing over his
body. He was unconscious when
picked up and taken into the house by
Michael Marley, near whose place the
accident occurred. AS the wagon was
loaded with sixty-fve bushels of wheat
internal injuries were feared, but late re-
ports indicate that chances of his recov-
cry are good.

The New Electoral College.

Every ten years we have to revise
not only u population figures but
the house Of Representatives, the ma
tional conventions and the electoral
college. We are an expanding nation,
and he who stands still goes back
ward, at least relatively.
The electoral college Of the new de-
cade contains 531 members, including
those of the two new states, as
against 4S3 in the last decade. It will
now require 266 to elect, whereas PAP
was sufficient before. Of the forty
eight increase in the whole country
the south has six, the far west TWEEN
ty-one, the middle west six and the
east fifteen. 1t is readily seen how
this will affect the election. In a
struggle between the north and south
the north has made the largest gain,
but In a contest between the east and
west the west has a trife the best
Of it.
The whole nation is growing, but it
is a fact Of some significance that the
Atlantic and Pacific coasts have
grown most rapidly. This has NO
especial political bearing, but may
prove industrially important, at least
IL the tendency continues. The only
possible influence the phenomenal
growth Of the Pacific coast states
could have politically arises from the
fact that they are pretty solidly pro.
,gressive.
For the Democrats to win next year
they will have to carry the south, the
border states, including Maryland

ton to these New York. Indiana and

Should La Toilette enter the field as
