county Dry Farming congress-, held the
boards at Mandan the 18th and 18th
Of March. The meeting was held at
the Commercial club rooms. MANY
Of the best farmers Of the county were
In attendance. Much Of the time was
taken up with discussions. Il Mr.. Mel
son Of g, Glen Ullin, the spresid dent, was
present but prevailed upon tsupt. How
erstad to preside over the meeting.
Many Speakers.
The program included some Of the
best dry farming experts in the North
west. Prof. Thomas Shaw in his ad-
dress on dry farming called attention
to the fact that dry farming can not
] be carried out in one year. The prep.
arations for the crop must begin the
year before. He recommended that
a part Of the farm be summer fallowed
and part Of it put into a cultivated
crop, so that the grain crop shall come
after a cultivated or summer falloW.
D. E. Willard, who had made geo
logical survey of the county, called at
tention to the fact that the soils con-
tain large percentage Of salt, which
gives them good water holding capa-
city. He urged that the farmers study
the nature of the soil and handle 1t
according to its 5fneness or coarseness.
Watersin Soil.
A. e. Chamb erlain discussed the prin.
ciples according to which water moves
in the soil. He demonstrated that the
moisture moves freely through a com.
pact soil but very slowly through a
loose soil He avocated deep blowing
and the making of a good seed bed
He advised discing before the ploW in
order to make this, seed bed. The
point he emphasized was to have the
soil in a condition so that the plant
roots come in contact with fine soil
that is we'll supplied with moisture.
7 L. r. Waldron in talking alfalfa,
classed the alfalfa as the best forage
plant that this section has and that
lit ought to be grown much more ex.
|ztensively than it is at present. That
it will yield on an average two tons
to the acre. He reported that in his
experiments he had had good results
with growing it in rows and that sown
in this way it will resist dry weather
better than when grown in drills. He
reported good results with the growing
Of sweet clover, that it has about the
same feeding value as alfalfa and that
stock will eat it and do we'll on it when
they get used to it. He also reported
that he had taken the wild sand cherry
and by cultivating It had developed il
into quite a bush and that he had pick
led as much as peck of. fruit from
each plant after it had had care for 9
flew years. He has also tried the wild
