In 1883 a tall, detected man walk
ed out of a sod stable in Brown coun
ty. Dakota Territory, leading thir
OK and a long-eared mule. All three
were discouraged looking. AS they
were pulling themselves over the
wind-swept field stirring up a trail
of dust the man gazed sadly at a
few grains of wheat that dared rear
themselves into blades. Suddenly he
stopped. dropped down upon his
knees and began scratching at the few
blades fighting up out of the depths
of an old hoof print, Only in the
tracks did the blades dare lift them
selves: all around the ground was
parched and lifeless. Why should the
wheat spring up in the hard tracks
and not in the loose ground? For
an hour the man puzzled over the
mystery. Today the Dakotas and Ne
braska bloom with wheat as the re-
suit of that hour spent over the foot
print of the long-eared mule. The
man was w. H. Campbell, who has
developed dry farming and PIT
those states on the wheat map. To
him belongs a large share of the
honor of making the Great American
Desert the Great American Cup
board.
Dry farming was practiced to some
extent by the Mormons 60 years ago,
but it was left to H. w Campbell to
develop it and explain it. Until he
did so the farmers of the northern
wheat zone barely eked out an exist
ence; now they go to directors meet
ings in autos. One and all they rise
up and call Campbell blessed.
In brief, dry farming is a method
to keep the moisture in the ground.
In the Dakotas and Nebraska in the
drouthy years the sun sucks all the
water out of the soil, leaving the
vegetation to wither. Mr. Campbell
breaches to the farmers, Put a els
tern under your wheatfield by pack
ing the ground and keeping the
moisture in" This sounds very sim
pie for a great discovery, but it has
taken many years to find when and
how to do it. Mr.. Campbell finally
invented a machine which packs by
pressure the soil at the base Of the
burrows, making the strip between
the burrows as solid as cement. This
method has practically reclaimed
great stretches of non-irrigable land.
Its value has been well expressed by
E. Benjamin Andrews of the Nebras
ka State University: IAN unassum-
ing fellow townsman of mine, Mr.. H.
w Campbell, has made a discovery
worthy to rank with those of Watt,
Eli Whitney and Edison, that of stor-
ing up water in the soil so as to
make a very slight rainfall suffice to
grow a crop without the aid of irri-
CATION"
Campbell practices what he teach
es. He himself operates wheat farms
following his own system. He has
five farms, in all totaling 1920 acres,
with a yield close to 60 bushels an
acre. In addition he supervises 20
model farms where farmers are
taught to farm with their heads. The
farmers in each district watch how it

ATLANTA'S NEXT BIG TRIAL.
The Sensational Crawford Will Case
TO Come Up Soon.

The Sensational Crawford Will Case
TO Come Up Soon.
With echoes of the Frank trial
still filling the air Atlanta is about to
enter upon another sensational
"caue celebre" in the famous Craw-
ford will case, in which Mrs. Mary
Belle Crawford, the handsome old
widow, is accused of poisoning the
aged husband from whom she inner
tied more than a quarter of a million
dollars.
Several years have passed since
Atlanta was free from some sort of
court sensation. The Grace case,
the Appelbaum case, the Mary Pha-
gan murder case, and now the Craw-
ford will case have followed one an
othe, in regular succession.
The Crawford case was postponed
four weeks until after the close of
the Frank trial because of the fact
that Attorneys Reuben Arnold and
Luther Rosser are attorneys both for
Frank and for Mrs. Crawford. The
latter case will now be further delay
ed until the outcome of the hearing
for a new trial in the Frank case on
October 4th. Should Judge Roam de-
cline to grant a new trial, as it is sup
( posed he will, the Frank case will
then go to the appellate court, and
/ the result will be that the Crawford
case will be taken up Immediately
after the final settlement one way
or another of the Frank case.
