DRY FARMING
CROPS SHOWN
Exhibit in Window of Herald Of
fee Is From Henderson Ranch
in the Ahtanum

Following the dry land system OF
farming, ]. r. Henderson has grown
on his ranch in the Ahtanum, corn
wheat. potatoes, turnips. onions, car
rots and other products which will
rival the best to be found on any OF
the irrigated land of the valley. Some
of the samples from his farm are
now on exhibition in the window of
The Herald office on street and
are well worthy of inspection. The
samples are not the show stuff of his
ranch but an average crop as he had
disposed of his onions and some other
his work and what was obtainable
was merely ranch rum" as would
be the case on any average property
at this time or the year
Plenty of Cultivation
The Henderson ranch is in the ALI
tanum, near the Woodcock academy.
and some eight miles from North
Yakima. It Is a section which some
have said is sub irrigated, but whcre
many others have complained Of n
lack of water.
MS 10 tHt sc1oiu year lbhA f''
Henderson has been making his test
of dry farming and he has proven 20
his own satisfaction that something
other than water is needed. He is
and has been firm believer that 200
much water is generally used and not
enough cultivation and because of
his belief has reversed the ordinary
process and given superabundanco
of cultivation and no water at all.
Good Yield of Spuds
The land, of course, is thoroughly
cultivated and put in good dry farm
ing condition in the spring, then the
crop is planted and the cultivation
continues. 1t is probable that the land
of Mr. Henderson was cultivated a
dozen times this season. He believes
that after the preparation for the
seeds there should be cultivation once
every week or ten days throughout
the season. He has already sold M
teen tons of netted gem potatoes which
averaged several tons to the acre. In
some places the yield was eight and
ten tons but the average FOR the tract
was seven. His apple, apricot and
peach trees MADE remarkable growth
He raised water melons which weigh
ed thirty-tive pounds and as good can
taloupes and musk melons as any per-
son.
About the Crops
Potatoes, carrots, turnips, onions
and corn and wheat on exhibition at
The Herald office speak for them
selves. The corn was planted the
fourteenth of May and some of ii, or
the Yellow Dent variety, grew to be
eleven and a half feet high. That
shown is ten feet high. The potatoes,
Burbanks, were planted the first of
May: the onions the second week in
March, and the turnips the first week
in August. They followed crop OF
beans which the gpphers destroyed In
large part. Mr.. Henderson's wheat
was sown in June and Is superior,
having fine, large heads and good
berry with a growth of stalk of about
three and half feet.
The success attending upon this at
tempt at dry land farming Is highly
satisfactory to Mr.. Henderson, VINO
says that 1t solves the problem of
thousands of acres of land in this
county. Mr. Henderson has been
greatly aided in his work by his faith
er-in-law, d. ]. Wynkoop, who has
been making an extensive investiga-
ton Of intensified dry farming
