kota. The dry weather which charac-
terlzed the last crop year has been
n good school master. Those who had
followed the dry farming methods had
good crops, while those who had NIT
often did nc have crop enough to Le
worth while cutting. 1t looked queer
to see a field of grain on one field that
would go 80 bushels per acre and the
next one go four or five. both having
mad the same rainfall. 1t is not hard
to understand. though. The evapora-
ton from a water surface is 80 inches
In the state during the spring and
summer months. This Is more than
the rainfall for a whole year amounts
to, which in the state varies from Is
to q inches. To have any left for the
crops it is plainly necessary to take
steps to save the moisture. Those who
had grown corn and potatoes, who had

and more, too.
st farmers Institutes there is more
call for talks on dry farming than any
other subject. The question often
comes in this way: What shall l do
to be ready for a dry year,"
While some real estate men are
opposed to the term dry farming"
yet the putting into practice OF
these principles is what will assure
the farmer of a crop every year, at
least as far as moisture is concerned.
1t is those who practiced dry farming
methods last year hat have demon.
strated what the state can do in a dry
year. They have been the salt of the

CARE IN SELECTING CROPS
Those That Will Mature Early Should
Be Chosen for Dry Farming-Tur-
key Red Wheat Leads.

The careful selection of crops and
farming. Crops must be chosen that
will mature early. Turkey Red wheat
has averaged a yield of better than
thirty bushels to the acre for twenty
years, giving it easily the first place
as a dry land crop in this state, says
the Denver Field and Farm. Other
promising dry land crops are hulless
barley, the earliest spring crop to ma.
ture; macaroni wheat, a spring crop
which natures early, but for which
the market is uncertain; some early
maturing oats, the Six Day variety
for instance, although oats are not an
especially strong dry land crop. Corn
requires constant cultivation and rela.
lively but little moisture and can take
the place of summer following as soon
as proper varieties are developed
White Australian is the most satisfac
tory thus far discovered, but it lacks
in feeding quality. Alfalfa and Can.
ada field peas, which put nitrogen into
the soil for the grain crops and which
will mature a good yield with little
moisture, are very valuable. Broom
corn is coming on as something of a
dry crop, while first rank must be
given to the non-saccharine sorghums,
such as kaffir. milo maize, durra and
rice corn.

Bandits Steal Girl From Escort.

New York.-Police and citizen
posses from Canarsie, a Brooklyn sub
urb, are securing the shores of ia
maica bay in a hunt for four men
and a young woman, the latter prob
ably held captive by the four in a de-
serted cabin or shooting box in the
marshes. The four men, according to
the story pieced together by the po-
lice, swooped down upon Michael
Kaufsky, a resident of Canarsie, as
he was escorting the young woman
to her home through a dark street in
the outskirts late at night, beat Kauf-
sky almost to death and carried the
girl away.

DRY FARM CONGRESS
It is AS Yet a Comparatively
Young Institution.
Great Things Have Been Accom-.
plished, However, In Its Brief Pc
Rod of Existence-collects and
Distributes Best Theories.

Inc dry farming congress is a COM
oaratively young institution, but five
annual conventions having been held.
treat things have been accomplished,
however, during the brief period of it's
existence, not least of which Is the
general awakening of the public, not
only to the necessity of charging the
productive area of the western half
IL the United States, but to the posi-
oility of doing so.
The dry farming collects
and distributes the best theories. as
we'll as the actual experience of prac-
lcal men engaged in agricultural and
horticultural pursuits where the nor
nal precipitation Is light. This en-
braces an area covering several hun
dred million acres. The principles of
dry farming also apply to FAST areas
usually considered within the humid
belt.
Enough data has already been gath
cred to insure the success of agricul-
ture over vast regions heretofore CON
sidered barren and non-productiye.
The future, without question, will see
even greater agricultural development
along this line than it's most ardent
advocates now dream Of.
Foreign countries, such as Aus
sralia, Russia, Hungary, South Africa,
and Mexico, all are engaged in the dry
farming propaganda. Out OF all the
experimental and research work Of
these countries-our own leading
them-there, unquestionably, will be
evolved a system of agriculture
adapted to the smallest amount of
moisture that will produce a profitable
crop.
This will involve not only methods
of tillage, but the selection and breed
Ing of drought-resistant crops adapted
to the various ATTITUDES of the coun-
tries interested.
Moisture conservation has become
been said that reveals the exact
amount OF water, all things consid-
cred, necessary to produce a profitable
crop. Locality, fertility of soil, pres
ence of weeds. character of plants.
etc, all must be taken into account,
and everything or agency that dissi-
pates moisture, except the growing
plant itself, must, as nearly as possible,
be eliminated. Special tools must be
invented to properly cultivate the soil,
and drought-resistant strains of &C.
reals bred to adapt themselves to linn
lied moisture conditions. If two drops
of water have hitherto been doing
the work that one could do as well.
we must ascertain that fact. and how
to doubly energize the smaller amount.
Because We have wasted water sim
ply on account of its superabundance
as we wasted u timber-is no ar
gument against successful agriculture
where economy is practiced with wa
ter as we'll as with labor. Plants,
even. can be taught to be economical
of what is scarce If we reciprocate by
giving more of wha. is more abund-
ant. as with less water and more ma
uure.

Limits Riqhts of Aliens.

Sacramento, Cal.-The first import
n action on legislation relating to
aliens was taken by the legislature
Tuesday in the passage by the senate
of a committee substitute bill, prohib-
iting the holding of land by aliens.
individuals and corporations, the ma
jority of whose stock is held by
aliens, are included in the provisions
of the bill. Land now held may be
retained. but it may not be sold, be-
queathed or inherited. Aliens &C
quiring land may hold for a period
not to exceed five years, at the end
of which time it must be sold by the
district attorney.

SUNSHINE AND GOOD HEALTH
Wherever Suns Rays Penetrate HUI
man Life Is Quickened and Health
and Happiness Promoted.

The sunlight, with it's mellowing
warmth and radiance, Is one of the
great essentials to good heath. Where
ever 1t penetrates, in prudently regu-
lated moderation, it quickens human
life, promotes health and happiness,
and may be truly regarded as one of
the best friends Of man and beast.
Inc common practice of providing
blinds, shutters, curtains and other
means for shrouding the windows and
shutting out the sunshine, Is undoubt-
edly a great mistake, and makes for
physical weakness and i'll health. More
window light. more sunshine. and not
less, is what We require. Let all your
apartments. kitchen, sitting rooms,
parlors and bedrooms, too, be flooded
with sunlight as much as possible.

Weiqhts Horses Should Carry.

At the Paris horse show recently a
special jury Of experts was appointed
to determine just how much a horse
of a given weight should carry in the
saddle. The jury brought in the fol-
lowing decision: A horse weighing
not more than S25 pounds should not
carry a greater weight than 1877
pounds. provided the girth of the ami
NAL does not exceed 81 inches. A
horse weighing 935 pounds or less,
with a girth of SO inches. should not
carry more than 209 pounds, and a
horse weighing 1,O45 pounds. with a
girth of II inches, should not carry
more than 231 pounds.

Good "Horse Sense

Don't allow the offer Of a good.
stiff price for the colts to tempt you
in letting go of them. You'll need
some fresh. young teams one of thess
days. and it takes an almost fabulous
sum of money to buy a span of young
horses suitable for farm purposes.
If you are in the habit of dashins
hitch-rack and tying them up to cool
off and chill without a blanket of any
sort. try the experiment of standing
beside them awhile, even half as long
as you usually are in town. and
some harness dealer will sell you a
pair of horse blankets before fifteen
minutes have passed.

LIVE STOCK NOTES

Good draft horses, though high In
price, find eager buyers.
Southdowns are supposed to lead al
other breeds in quality of mutton.
Young pigs canno thrive in cold
sleeping quarters, or where 1t is the
least bit damp.
A good feeder can make corn worth
through a hog.
Sheep have good warm wool coats.
Do not be afraid to turn them out
even on a cold day.
In considering cheap feeding and
feeding for the best results, the silo
must not be overlooked.
Keep sheep out while they're out
and in while they're in. Don't leave
doors open to cause draughts.
Now hat breeding sheep can be
bought at a reasonable price more OF
them should be going to the farms.
Who has not seen the hogs piled
upon each other in cold weather. shiv
ering, fighting to get into a warm
place?
Rough, brutal treatment that keeps
a sheep in constant fear and nervous
excitement is not conducive to good
growth.
Dc not allow too many head OF
swine to nest together, for they will
pile up cold nights, generate moisture
and take cold.
One of the first needs of the pigs
is a comfortable place in which tc
pass more than half of the time,
sleeping and resting.
The trouble with keeping old sows
is that they become too fat and
heavy, and often kill a lot e their
pigs by lying On them.

San Jose, Cal.-That he has found a
solution OF the thrips problem is the
belief of County Ho%rticulturist Earl
l.. Morris. \ lime-carbolic spray
used during the last few weeks nas
killed all thrips in orchards where it
was applied and has not injured the
buds, so far as observed up TO this
time. The solution consists of 100
gallons of water, 100 pounds of lime,
and ten gallons of crude carbolic
acid. The fumes destroy the thrips,
which cannot be reached by the usual
spraying agencies, as they feed on
the inside of the bud.
