We are now getting intelligence
that will add to the charm of farming
and gardening and magnify the ideals
of the city fellow who dreams of the
delicious flavor Of rural life. 1t has
been discovered, through experiments
In Scotland, that the application Of
electricity to garden bed will make
the lettuce, the cucumbers, the peas,
the tomatoes. the beets, etc., grow fu.
riously and increase the yield from 20
to 100 per cent. The time for the
things to come up, after the seed is
put in the ground, ia reduced at least
one-half. The application of the cleo.
tricity can be done by putting some
electric lights over the bed or dis
charging high-tension electricity from
a system of overhead wires. There
is scientific reason for this sort of
horticulture. Electricity is powerful
and permeating fluid. and it is partic-
ularly effective in promoting plant
life.

The latest book on d-y farm
ing is from the pen and brain
of John A. Widtsoe. Director Of
the Utah Experiment Station,
with the title "Dry Farming"
What is dry farming? He de-
fines it as follows: "Dry farm
ing as at present understood is
the profitable production of
useful crops without irrigation
on land that receives annually
q rainfall of twenty inches or
less. In Districts of torrential
rains. high winds or other wat.
er dissipating factors the term
"dry farmi, g" is also popularity
applied to farming without ir.
rigation under an annual rain
fall of twenty-five or even thirty
inches" That includes all Of
North Dakota as we'll as the
states to the south and west go
that everyone tilling land in
this state is vitality interested
in learning what the dry farm
ing methods are 80 that it can
be put into practice.
Success with dry farming
methods. DR.. Widtsoe makes
this claim: "When the meth.
DDS of "dry farming" are under
stood and practiced, the prac
tice is always successful, but it
requires more Intelligence and
more implicit obedience to ma
lures laws and greater vigil
ence than farming in countries
that have abundant rainfall"
This is certainly encouraging
information, and it would seem
that there would be a grand
stand rush for information that
promises 80 much. If any such
swe e oingstatements were made
by a reliable authority of some
method in curing diseases, the
printing press could not run
fast enough to supply the de-
mand until practically every
doctor had a copy of the book.
Problems of dry farming. DIR.
Widtsoe sums up as follow:
"The fundamental problems of
dry farming are then h e
storage in the soil of the an
nual rainfall; the retention in
the soil of the moisture until it
is needed by the plants; the
prevention of the direct eva
poration of sol. moisture dur.
ing the growing season.; the re-
gulation of the amount of wat
er drawn from the soil by the
plants; the choice of crops suit
able for growth under arid con
ditions; the application of suit
able crop treatments, and the
disposal of dry farming pro
ducts based upon the superior
composition of plants grown
with sn all amounts of water.
Around these fundamentals
cluster a host of minor, though
also important, problems"
It is these fundamental and
minor problems that DR.. Widt-

TWO NEGROES SHOT
One at Myrtis Fatally, One at Shreve-
port Slight1y--One Bully and Law
Breaker and Wanted for Burglary.

Friday afternoon Jim Thomas, a ne
gro bully, was shot by Deputy Sheriff
Porterfeld at Myrtis. Thomas had been
disorderly and had bullied the employees
of the sawmill and others nearby. He
called on Deputy Porterfeld to know if
he was to be arrested. The deputy's re-
ply was that he would arrest him.
Thomas then dehed the deputy, and as
he attempted to draw his pistol the
deputy, being the quicker, shot him
twice, fatally. Thomas died while be-
ing conveyed to Texarkana. 1t would
seem that Deputy Porterfeld is justified.
Yesterday Deputy Porterfeld on ar
irving at the Union Depot spied ne
gro burglar named Slim As he ap-
preached Slim to arrest him, Slim
skipped. Porterheld pursued him and
fired two shots, one Of which struck the
fugitive, producing a slight wound. He
was conveyed to the hospital and from
there taken to Jail He is an old of
fender and fugitive from justice.
On being informed that Thomas was
dead, Porterfield surrendered to Sheriff
Ftournoy. 1t is said that Porterfeld is
a conservative and reliable officer.
