of three farms in one, owing to the
great depth of the soil in most of the
districts.
The soil is not uniform, either in
depth or productivity, in the entire
dry farming area of the West. In
fact, so varied is it that government
experts have sent out warning that
"no definite system of dry farming
has been established that is of gen
eral application to the entire dry
farm area of the country" Depth and
composition of the soil have been
found widely at variance in several
sections and no set general rules can
be followed with success. But with
the facilities now at hand in almost
every section, advice is available that
will guide the settler in the proper
handling of his particular piece Of
land. The ability of plants to absorb
water and resist Transportation are vi
tally important to the dry farming
problem. The percentage of clay and
sand in the soil will have much to do
with its capillary powers. For this
reason each individual section must
receive its own individual study.

they have successfully demonstrated
that by proper method OF tillage
practically hree-fourths of the moist
ure can be retained and large per-
ccntage of it carried over from one
season to the next. The area Of dry
farming is being annually extended by
the introduction of drouth- resisting
cereals.
The chief basis for the difference
OF methods to be employed in the
handling of dry land lies in the depth
OF the soil and the subsoil. 1t has
been found that in the sagebrush
country the top soil is very deep,
while in the Mississippi Valley a de-
cided line of demarkation is noted be-
tween the top soil and the subsoil.
1t is general rule that the roots do
not penetrate beyond the subsoil,
hence the necessity of long-rooted
plants in the dry farming areas, where
no line of demarkation is apparent.
The roots Of the sagebrush are
found to extend to great depths and,
because Of their woody fiber, do not
decay readily. Herein lies the secret
Of the dry farming plant, and it is to

Yet the falling off of birth rate is
not confined to the poorer classes. Sta
tiatics in England show that among
the well.to-do, thrifty class Of arti-
cans, taking 10000 members of this
class as basis, the number OF births
fell from 2472 in 1880 to 1165 in
1904, while among the extremely
wealthy families the average number
of children to each family was SO
prior to 1870 and only sos since that
year. Very much the same ratio exists
in America, the love of ease and the
migratory disposition of the wealthy
tending to interfere with the raising
of family. In fact, the size OF
wealthy families is far less than that

The practice of dry farming proba-
bly, had its inception with the gold
rush into California in 1S47. Men who
crossed the plains during those days
of meager transportation facilities
knew we'll the nature of the country
through which they passed and some
of them were observant enough to
recognize the possibility of producing
q crop without water. The extent to
which dry farming was carried on
however, was not great, for the set
tier, quick to realize the value OF
water, siezed upon the stream most
available, diverting its waters to his
fields by means of canals and produc-
ing astonishing results. Such, too, was
the experience Of the Mormon i'm
migrant in the early sos. Indeed
the truth about dry farming is re-
lated to have been discovered in the
Malad river case in Utah in 1855. In

Students of history 25 years ago
we're taught that between the Mis-
souri, river and the Rocky noun
tains there stretched mighty plain
peopled only by wandering herds of
buffalo and the smaller animals of the
prairie. School histories of that period
treated this country as the great
American desert, and pictured the
waste that never would be brought to
use. And while that same idea still
prevails in the minds Of few who
have not seen the wonders developed
on the sagebrush plains, the govern
ment has seen fit to send its ex-
I,erts into this vast country to deter
mine the best means of producing a
crop without the aid of rainfall, hith-
erto considered essential, and to in
duce settlers to enter and possess the
land While much of the country
west of the Missouri river was in
cluded in the old conception of the
great American desert, the part most
particularly referred to was the sage

instances are ON record where stool

does Nature, when properly encour-
aged, provide the necessities of its

Experiments in these states have
proven that the continuous cultivation
of these dry lands has had little eff
feet upon the quantity of humus and
nitrogen in the soil. Many tracts have
been examined where cultivation has
been carried on continuously for As
years without any appreciable decrease
in the amount of these essential
elements in crop production. In fact,
an increase is noted in many cases. A
summer fallow every fourth year, how
ever, has been declared by experts to
be necessary, while fall blowing and

extinction. Millions Of dollars have
been spent to make perfect highways,
yet the traveller marvels as he motors
over the peerless roadway at the in
frequency of children along the way.
The change has been very rapid dur
ing recent years. In 1902 the excess of
births over deaths was $4,000; in 1906
it was $4,000; the following year the
death rate passed the birth rate, and
in 1908 the latter fell 10000 short
The shortage is increasing annually,
while across the border in Germany
the population is growing by leaps
and bounds. SO startling is this dis.
tinction that it is freely predicted
that unless the other nations awaken
to their condition. the world will fall
into control of the German and the
Slav. Lincoln prophesied that by
this time the population of the United
States would be 200,000,000. But HI
was basing his prophecy on the birtf
rate and increase in population as hi
knew it. We have not reached thu
| l00,000,000 mark. Yet we would cas-
lily have fulfilled Mr.. Lincoln s hope
but for the turn the birth rate ha
taken in the last generation.
At the opening of the nineteenth
century Thomas Robert Nautilus be
came alarmed at the apparent ten
dency Of population to increase in
higher ratio than the means OF sub
sistence. He prophesied the pauper
ism of England unless the enormous
increase in birth rate should b
stopped, warning the nation agains

be furnished at the very low figure
of SO per horse power per annum, less
than one-tenth of the present cost of

tn European capitalists with the re-
suit that corporation for the manu-
facture of fertilizer is ready to take

find a ready market in the North
west.
An idea of the enormity of this
project can be had from the fact that
100000 horse power is approximately
one-tenth of the developed water power
in the United States At present the
largest project in operation is that
on the Mississippi at Keokuk with a
capacity of 100000 horse power. What
that project has done for the people
of the Mississippi valley the proposed
project will do for the Northwest. II
is not difficult to picture gigantic
power plant that would furnish power
fol an interstate railway. 1t is easy
to imagine great transcontinental rail
ways terminating at the power plant
from which point ocean going vessels
would carry their cargoes to the ports
Of the Orient, while inland bound boats
would distribute the products of the
world to the farthest confines of the
great Northwest. And as for the
limit to the number and varieties Of
products that could be turned out
from a single great factory at the
power plant there is no limit.
The people of the Northwest mus
rise up as one man in behalf of these
projects. The heritage of the North
west lies in a successful carrying out
OF these schemes. 1t is to the inter

this instance wheat had been grown
OF an irrigated tract for several
years with excellent results. In the
summer Of 1855 the water failed, and
the farmers were confronted with the
possibility of no crop. An attempt to
raise wheat on the irrigated land
failed and some was planted on the
adjoining tract where water had
never been used. To the great sur
prise of the farmers, the wheat on
the dry land drew rank and healthy
while that on the irrigated piece
was wilted and stunted. The continu-
GUS watering of the soil had destroyed
its water-retaining power and the
moisture evaporated too rapidly. From
then ON dry farming was successful
reality.
It was not until the '90s, however,
that the states began to take up the
matter of experiments in dry farm
ing, Colorado leading in 1894. Now
