 The third generation of native-born cattle can be seen at Hinckley's dairy in Fairbanks. A calf born there the first of December came to greet Its father, mother and grandmother-all of which were born and raised in Fair banks.

Oklahoma Dry Farming

Colorado Springs, Colo.-rhat the
recent development of oklahoma has,
in manner, paved the way for more
extensive development OF semi-arid
landr II the West is the opinion OF J..
f. Shubert, Of Kansas City, general
freight agent of the Rock Island rail-
road, and a keen student of agricultu-
raj conditions throughout the West.
He is spending some days in Colorado
Springs on pleasure. and incidentally
looking into preparations for the Sixth
international Dry Farming Congress,
which holds its great convention in
Colorado Springs during the week OF
October 1920. Eastern and central
Kansas are not bothered to such an
extent with dry winds as they were
formerly" said Mr. Shubert. This is,
/ am told, on account of the opening
of Oklahoma, where the plains have
been converted into corn fields, causing
a direct diminishing of the hot winds
from the South. Cultivation of the
soil frequently results in better eli
matte conditions, and it is to be ex-
pected that the greater development
of Oklahoma which is sure to come
within the next few years will indirect
ly benefit eastern Kansas and eastern
Colorado in this respect. The educa'
tion which the farmers are bound to
receive from the Dry Farming Con-
gress is sure TO result in marked inn
provement in the general agricultural
production throughout the semi-arid
sections" With Mr. Shubert is George
w. Martin, OF Denver, general agent,
who is deeply interested in the coming
