SUCCESS OF oRY-FARMINe
Paper Written BY E. r.. Watson.
Of Cheyenne, Wyoming

In view of the past two years of
drought and the resultant failure or
partial failure of crops some doubt as
to feasibility Of dry.farming in Wy
oming has been expressed. 1t is note--
worthy that In those states where
dry-farming has been practiced for a
period of forty years, the past two
years of scanty precipitation have
been followed by no especially dis
Gslrous results, The /, ason for this is
not that they are more favoraDly loca
ed than Wyoming, but that they have
reduced the dry-farm methods to a
science. In fact. the state of Utah,
for example, has lower annual pre-
cipntation than Wyoming. Then, too,
the larger part Of this precipitation
comes in the winter, while In cas- ern
wyoming rs per cent of our moist
ure comes when we need it most.
that Is, during the growing season.
The past Two years in Utah have
been exceedingly dry. and yet com.
Faratiyely few crop failures have bee
reported. To the contrary, yiells Of
winter wheat ranging from 20 to 80
and even Az bushels to theaere were
very common. This ability to secure
5ood crops under adverse conditions,
however, has not been acquired wi b.
out severe losses in the past. In fact,
former droughts were the school
masters that compelled the dry farm
rs OF those sections to adopt the
very best methods in their farm prae
tiea. They leatned that dry-farm-
ms was safe in regions where the
alltiai Precipitation averaged L.
inc1eS, f'onse years Il might be
more; some years /, might be less.
Amen moisture came in excess 1t was
stoted up far futne use In time Of
drought, and when the drought
came, good crops were raised. They
earned too, that deep soils were
essential to dry farming and that
the summer fal and careful cultl-
e'tlan were vital sparts OF the prac,
tice, Thus they have secured a rep
utation that is worldwide and that
brings each year from other naton
scores Of investigators who study
their methods of dry farming
During the past summer in Wyo
ming striking examples of proper and
improper. systems Of tillage were eyi
dent. Small grains on fallow land,
or following corn or potatoes, gave
good yields, while in adjoining fields
the same kind Of crop, disced in sn
oat stubbles, was burning w. In
such cases drought is a severe school
master, bat 1t will neyerthe' ess bring

ONLY SIXTY DAYS TO PAY.
Sidewalk Taxes Not to be Extended
Over Long Period.

Contrary to the general belief. the
payments of sidewalk taxes i'm the Wiz
lage of Laurium will not be distribut-
ed over long period this time. the
council at it's meeting this week having
decided that all of the payments must
be made within sixty days. For SINH
lar improvements i'm the past, the
council has granted considerably more
time, but this is believed To be partly
responsible for the large number of de-
linquents on the rolls.
Taxpayers do not realize the neces-
sity of early payments when the tax
ia spread over a term OF months, and
frequently the village has been short
of funds. when If all of the improve
ment taxes had been met promptly. u
would be in good financial condition.
AS the taxpayers in the impro I'D
districts have had ample warning and
several months To prepare. the council
does not believe il VIII be a hardship
for any property holder to pay within
sixty days.
