DRY FARMING BEING WORKED BY TEXANS
Experiment Is Successful in Town
 Near Dallas

Dallas, Tex, Feb. 7,-The first dry farming in Texas is believed by older residents here to have been attempted successfully just west of Dallas. In- cidentally where IL was attempted has been found 10 be land with valuable deposits good for making cement. The ground has never had the appearance of good farm land.
 Development of the land for farm Ing purposes was undertaken by q group of French political refugees who founded colony just west and north of what Is now known as Oak Clif, part of Dallas. The first dry farming was by F.. Remond, who also had ideas the land had other values, including gold deposits and clays good for pottery. Inexperience with condi- tions as encountered in the new col ony. difficulties of farming and other problems caused the coonists to grad ually abandon their project, and many moved into Dallas.
 The French colony came to Dallas county in 1855, under the leadership of Victor Prosper Considerant. NJ. Cantegral. for whom Cantegral street in Dallas is named, was prominent with Considerant
 The colony consisted of political

refugees from France, most of whom
 were men who had distinguished
 themselves in politics or science, They
 settled on the hill west Of Dallas
 which Is called Western Heights and which was then known as Flanders Heights, The coonists took up ag,i- culture and built houses of stun quar- ried from the hills, Only two or three houses still stand and they are in dilapidated condition.
 One of the colonists was F.. Rem spent the greater part Of his life de- veloping the possibilities in the for nations of those western hills. He made pottery and cement and terra eotta and various other things from the materials found there. It was said to be duo 10 his efforts that the existence of gold in paying quantities in the hills was discovered but II was found to be more profitable to make cement than to separate the gold
 Another inember of the colony was ReVerchon, who was famed as nat uralist and wrote many books on this subject, Agassiz was his intimate friend and often visited him on Vest ern Heights, Other members of the colony included Jean .Barbier, J. B. LGuck and l.. C. Dessant.
 The first dry farming in Texas was practiced by the French colony, it was said and the first dry farmer in the colony was Remond. He is said 10 have raised good corn crop which had only one rain from the time it was planted until it matured and the rain was in May.
 Potential resources of the Western Heights country were pointed out in articles written for The Dallas News by Remond. He claimed that 1t had splendid clays for pottery making and similar work and wonderful shale for cement.
