NO MEETING OF
 MEMORIAL COMMITTEE
MONSIGNOR LI(EY RETURNS FROM LITTLE ROCK DISAP- POINTED OVER RECENT
 CALL
. nique State of Affairs Exists-MOn. Wment Has Not Been Deii-
 cated.

.Monsignor Lucey in response to 9 wire that there would be a meeting bout the Confederate Woman's MOn- 1ment at the Hotel Marion Thurs day morning the 27th inst. went to Little Rock as requested, but found no meeting. He reports a rather uni tue state of affairs in reference D the monument. He was the one who presented the resolution at the Con- federate Reunion at Fort Smith ,sev- eral years ago for the constitution of a Memorial Committee to erect a Con- federate Woman's Monument at Lit tie Rock He was made chairman of he committee which included. be- sides the commander of the Arkan- sas. Division. U. c. ". " L.. Cook, D. W. Cook, Chas. Coffin and J. Kellogg n 1911, E. w. Green was added to the committee. The Reunion of the Ark ansas Division U. C. V. at Little Rock in 1912, did not continue the Womens Memorial Committee and it eased to exist.
 But the Arkansas Legislature in 1911, about April. made an ar2ropria- ion of $l0,000 for the erection of a
 uitable monument and appointed J. I. I.ucey, V. l.. Cook, Chas' Coffin, |j. F. Smith, D. w. Jones and J Kel- egg committee to carry olIt their Ewishes. a@ While there is some doubt whether this committee have now any official standing on ac count of their appointment by the legislature when hey formed the memorial committee )f the Arkansas Division, U. C. ", which has ceased to exist, it is ho1ed that some legal way will be found put of the tangle and that the monu nent which now stands in front of he new Capitol will be duly dedicat- ,d Governor Donaghey approved the lct of the legislature but did not ap- lOint the committees

She considers herself lucky in reaching this city and joined her two little daughters, who are promi- nent in the Scheff company, for hun dreds of people en route to southern points are detained in various cities of the north because of the flood wa ters that have isolated so many Ohio and Indiana cities and towns and crippled dozens of railroads.
 'I left New York Tuesday after nOon," said Mrs. Roland in her dressing room at the Elks Theatre last night in discussing her thrilling experience with a Graphic reporter When we reached Pittsburgh our train the Pennsylvania l.imited-was held up and detoured through Cleveland and thence to Chicago. We had great difficulty in reaching Cleveland as much of the Ohio country was already under water and in some places the per stories of houses.

DRY FARMING IS EXPLAINED
Means Conservation Of Moisture In
Soil Throughout Year-Harrow-
Ing Will Retain Water.

Eastern people have no adequate
idea Of what is meant by dry farming.
They think some sort Of magic turks
in arid soil which makes the seed
germinate and grow into marvellous
yields OF grain without the aid of any
moisture. Dry farming does not
mean farming with no water. but
means the conservation of the water
In the soil throughout the year. Des-
pite the hot winds of summer, deep
blowing and constant narrowing after
every rain will retain the moisture
In the soil. heard an apple grower
at dry farming congress in Chey-
enne tell OF an experiment he made.
He plowed unit of ground. keeping
the mulch secure. The following year
he again plowed this ground and also
plowed another unit. He continued
this for ten years so at the end of that
time he had ten units plowed and har-
rowed. one having been plowed for the
full length Of time and one but for one
year. He then bored with an earth
auger to find the depth of moisture In
the various units of ground. with the
result that in the first year unit there
was only trace of moisture under the
mulch. not enough for farming. In the
second unit there was n little mois-
ture. but hardly enough to maintain a
crop. The third year unit had quite a
little moisture and the ten-year unit
had ten feet of moisture. Therefore
It can be seen that dry farming Is
sometimes uncertain for the first few
years and this should be understood
by anyone contemplating using that
method. 1t requires some capital.
but the well.to-do farmer has an op-
portunity to make lot of money.
Dry farming grain ripens earlier than
irrigated land and the dry farmer
has an opportunity to make lot of
money. Dry farming grain ripens
earlier than irrigated land and the
dry farmer has not the trouble or ex-
pense of irrigating.
Some people claim that the summer
following of land Is done to hold
enough of the summers moisture to
start the crop that fall. This is true.
but the summer following does more
than that 1t has been proven time
and again that moisture is carried over
from one year to another by summer
fallowing. See that the summer fall
lowing is done we'll and you need bave
no fear Of the dry weather In most sec
tions Of Montana.

ONE SECRET OF DRY FARMING
BY Conserving Rainfall Farmers En-
abed to Raise Crop Of Wheat
Every Other Year.

When rain falls 1t does not actual
ly. soak into the earth. but bores its
way in. forming tiny tubes. These
tubes are 80 small that it would be
impossible to insert a hair in one o:
them without bursting its walls.
Sometimes the tubes are bored down
to a depth Of four or five feet.
When tie surface dries. the water
evaporates from the tubes Just as 1t
would from a pipe. II the tube is
twisted It takes longer for the water
to evaporate. II one takes a rake
and stirs the ground after each rain,
he breaks the tops Of the tubes. and
the water will stand In them for
months. In this way the farmers of
the west. on the semi-arid lands.
store the rainfall one year. and raise
crop Of wheat every other year
there being sufficient water in two
years. but not enough in one. to raise
a crop.
