DRY FARMING MOST IMPORTANT ISSUE Conservation of Moisture More Than Irrigation, Says Professor Shaw. . SPLENDID CROPS POSSIBLE Rotation, Fallowing and Scientific Cultivation Productive of Re sults Beginner Should Hare One Tear' Resource. "Dry farming la the greatest rob! em that confronts the people of the V. eat today." recently declared Professor Thomaa Bhaw. who Is now In Central Oregon investigating condition, relating to that particular branch ot agriculture. Professor Shaw ha been at the head of the department of animal husbandry at tie University of Minnesota since 1S33 and 1 the author of numerous books on various, phases of scientific farming. He mas one of the speakers at the recent rry Farming Congress at Spokane. His visit to Central Oregon Is looked upon as of much Importance, as It Is agreed that this method of farming will be gen erally followed In that section of the state. Dry farming Is the greatest problem that confronts the people of the West today." said Professor Thomas Shaw, cf the Oregon Agricultural College. He recently returned from the annual Dry Firming Congress at Pueblo. Colo where he delivered one of the principal addresses. -In comparison with dry farming the mining Industry. Important as It Is. dwindles Into insignificance." Professor Bhaw continued. "The problem of Irri gation la great, yet when Irrigation has done the best It can do. not mora than 2 per cnt of the arid laud In the West can be affected. All of the remaining portion, excluding forest areas, roust be made to produce crops with dry farm ing methods. -Conservationists ahould devote aome of their time and energy to the con servation of the moisture In the soil. The value of the rain that falls dur ing April. May. June and July on the lands of the seml-arld West. If proper ly conserved. Is more than that of all the other material Interests combined." Bench Lands Best. , rrofessor 6haw said that his experi ence had shown that good crops of all kinds of grain and some vegetables can be obtained on Summer fallowed land, properly prepared. In seasons of unus ual drought and that very large yields may be grown In a season when the rainfall Is more than normal. On ac count of the more open character of bench land, men areas have produced more heavily than the lands besides the streams, he said. He referred to the re cord of the bench lands In Montana. long the Oreat Northern Kail way. to Illustrate this point. -It Is haxardoux," he continued. In pointing out the methods of dry farm ing that will not succeed, "to grow a crop of grain In theae bench lands, when they have been plowed In the Spring and the crop sown the same aeon. If the season should prove moist a good crop may result, but If 11 should prove dry It will assuredly fall and the failure may be complete." He said that experiment had taught him that lands devoted to a cultivated crop could be followed with a cereal rrop with fair return to the grower. The process of cultivation under this method, he pointed out. was not far dif ferent from that employed when culti vating? the Summer fallow. The differ ence came In the aubtractlon of mois ture from the soil when growing the cultivated crop. The question whether enough moisture would remain to as sure a fair crop has been brought up, but Professor Shaw said that at the experiment stations he had grown Spring wheat of the durum variety af ter corn, while beside them were wheat plats started after the bare fallow. In every Instance tire wheat was stronger and more promising after the corn than after the bare fallow. He said that the explanation of this apparent phenom enon was difficult, but accounted for It In the fact that the cultivation of the corn probably stirred the soil more deeply than the harrow used In the Summer fallow, thus liberating more soil fertility. Method to Be Tested. Next year he said, "this method will be tested on more than 30 of the Great Northern demonstration farms. These small stations are scattered so widely that they will furnish an excellent dem onstration of what may be done In this line. "The attempts to grow fodder corn on these same farma the paat season were not a complete success. In the first place the month ot May. the usual time for planting corn in Montana, was unusually cold. Frosts In June ml August did some damage, but In spite of these handicaps food crops of foddor were grown. On some of this land they had only one Inch of rainfall following the Spring plowing. The crops that may be grown on dry farming lands may be divided into three classes cereals, cultivated crops and al falfa. Among the cereals Winter wheat Is beyond all comparison the most Im portant, for the reason that it Is the sure crop that may be grown and that It Is of the highest money value because of the larae yield obtained. Borne areas have grown a bushels to the acre. The average yliM Is not less than 3 bushels. Imrum wheat Is. next to Winter wheat, the hst money crop that can be grown. It will not bring so hlen a price In the market, but It will more than offset the lark In this respect by the Increased yield. Flax Xczt In Value. The third crop In money value Is f.sx. This Is better adapted to Spring break x than any other crop, Spelts, barley and oats have also been successful as Spring crop. Both plt and white hul ls barley mature early, and this means that they ere less liable to be Injured than some other crops by the dry weath er that usually accompanies the matur ing of grain. The oat crop calls for mora mo:sture than any of these. The cult'vated crops that may be grown are corn, potatoes, beans and field roots. Of these, corn for fodder Is by far the most valuable, and Important. This will be the great cultivated rrop of the drv country up to an elevation of aroo feet. Beyond that elevation the growing of corn Is haaardous. even for fod ler. be- cause of the low temperature. Next to corn, potatoes will be the most valuable cultivated crop. They can be grown with m smaller amount of mnlsture than corn, but on account of the limited local mar kets the area devoted to potatoes must be restricted. "Results with beans last year were not ervcoaraglnr. on account of the Ausust froeta That may nH occur again for the next years. Root crops, suca as mangels, carrots, turnips and rutaba gas, will also be grown eventually. The great reliance for forage will be alfalfa. The farmer In the dry country must depend more upon alfalla for hay than any other crop. It can be grown on nearly all the bench land country sus ceptible of cultivation. From one to one and a half tons an acre may bo grown each year and In moist seasons even large crops will be obtained." Fallow Part or Rotation. Professor Shaw has made a study of the rotation of crops so ss to obtain the best results and has reached the conclu sion that a part of every dry farm should be fallowed each year, that a part be de voted to cultivated crops and the remain der to alfalfa and pasture. The most profitable rotation, he says, will grow Winter wheat on Summer fallowed land and Spring crops on the cultivated land. Cultivated crops will be grown after Winter wheat, the ground being plowed In the Fall. Summer fallow will follow the Spring cereals. By this system two crops can be grown In three years wher ever It is possible to grow cultivated crops with reasonable success. Tho al falfa will enrich the land, but every few years It should be grown on a different portion of the farm, but a change should not be made until a stand has been se cured on other land, he contends. "The farmer who takes up dry area," concludes) professor Shaw, "should be prepared to undergo one season of fail ure. If he has not sufficient means to tide him over one year of possible dis appointment he may find himself In a sorry plight. But two seasons of failure In succession are very rare and with a preparation to withstand one bad season the average man Is sure of success. GARBAGE RIGHTS HIT CTYIO ANT CITY COUNCILS TO , HEAR 6TROXG PROTESTS. Granting of C5-Tea Franchise to rnknowni Alleged to Be Detri mental to City's Welfare. Strong protest will be mads at the meeting of the Civic Council tonight In the Commercial Club rooms, and to the City Council at the Wednesday meeting, against the passage of the ordinance granting an exclusive 13 year franchise to collect and dispose of Portland garbage. A special com mittee from the North East Side Im provement Association will file the complaint. The franchise question came up In cidentally Friday night before the meeting of the association, where only Councilman Menefea and one or two othera knew that euch a franchise was pending. T. B. McDevltt. chairman of thla special committee, secured a copy of the franchise and Saturday evening went' over Its provisions with other members of the committee and It was decided to make protest. The Clvlo Council will be asked to co-operate In the protest. Mr. McDevltt said yester day: "Passage of thla garbage franchise In Its present form would be an outrage on the people of this city, who are in Ignorance of Its existence. We have gone over the franchise, and find that It-Is not stated what the owners of the franchise shall pay the city or what the residents shall be charged. Thes4 are left to be fixed by the eweet will of the Council. If the owners were given the privilege of charging a pri vate house tl a month and hotels at the rate of flO a month It can be seen that It would yield an enormous rev enue. "Families who burn their garbage, as many do, would be taxed the same as If they bad garbage for hauling. Even at a lower rats the Income would be very large. And the Income will In crease aa the number of houses In crease. 'The owners of the franahlsa are 'granted the privilege of erecting houses In the residence dlstrlots for the collection of garbage. The ordinance la a long; one and mainly sets forth what the company's rights are under It. There la not a thing In It to Indi cate who are back of It. That Is left In the dark. It may be a syndicate of rich men. Twenty-five years is a long time to give this franchise for and tie up the city with Its provisions. It ought not be passed, and every citizen ought to protest to members of the City Council against Its passage. The city should take care of the garbage. It has Just built a new $100,000 gar bage plant, which, of course, would be wasted If this franchise should be granted. By systematic method of col lecting garbage by the city a consid erable portion could be disposed of, so that the tax would be small compared with the burden that this franchise might Impose." $6666 RAISED BY CHURCH Rose City Park to Entertain Presbjr tcry at Meeting Today.

Last Monday he returned and started back to the Heltman farm, de spite a warning that the recent rains had raised the water In the Lewis river about three feet and the Heltman ford would be dangerous. The horse was found Tuesday eve ning In a bad condition. The saddle was turned under him and the bridle off with the reins fast in the shoe of the hind foot. The horse refuses to go near the river.

Portland's welcome to T. P. O'Connor, tho distinguished Irish statesman, pub. liclst, editor and orator, on Sunday. October M. will probably surpass that which he will receive in the other cities on his itinerary. At a meeting- of the T. P. O'Conner reception committee yesterday after noon final arrangements for the recep tion on the part of the Irish citlsene of Oregon were completed. Mr. O'Conner will deliver an ad dress In Masonlo Hall. West Para: and Yamhill streets, at 2:15 P. M. on the day of his visit. A fine musical pro gramme will be given In connection. The Portland Press Club will have Mr. O'Conner aa Its guest of honor at an Irish breakfast at the Portland Hotel between the hours of IS and x P. M. on the same date. The newspaper men promise to turn their guest orer to the committee In time fof him to begin his speech on the scheduled hour. We re going to give Mr. O'Conner a rousing welcome." said E. H. Deery, general chairman of the committee on arrangements, yesterday. "His appearance In this country marks the beginning of a new epoch In things Irish at home and abroad. Racial animosities have disappeared, coercive government in Ireland has been overcome by the effective meth od of parliamentary agitation. In dustrial conditions have Immeasurably Improved within the last two decades by organised effort In every direction. Irish literature Is advancing to Its own end and the general survey is hopeful and promising. The recent land act Is one of the greatest measures of modern times. Tou may ask what else Is demanded, and the arwer is the old answer, that the national soul of Ireland will never be satisfied without self-government, the government under which It prospered under Grattan's parliament, and which every English man living knows In his heart of hearts. The substitute of a govern ment br the Imperial Parliament has been a rank and dismal failure. "In her demands for control of her domestic affairs In things concerning Ireland exclusively, O'Conner and Ms colleagues of the Nationalist party have the support of the democracy ot England, uanaaa, Auairiuia, Po land. Scotland and Wales. They have always bad the moral and financial support of Irish America. "Home rule Is in sight. The only object now to be met may be likened to what la called in this country the predatory interests- . inai opp u people, the remaining figment of the j i Atrm tha Hon HA of Lords. which will be reformed, either within or without. "In observing T. P. O'Conner while i . i ni.w intAtliMnt ImflrlratlN Will be reminded of what Ireland would be today could she have guided ner own destinies In the past. O'Conner Is an example of the genius of our race a genius that has spurned material com forts that could be had In plenty and with honors. If It but bowed to an alien crown." STEVENSON LAD IS KILLED Ralph Glnder, Son of Editor, Meets Accidental Death ltt HunU STEVENSON, Wash., Oct. . (Spe cial.) Ralph Glnder, the 20-year-old son of H. E. Glnder, editor of the paper here, was accidentally killed to day while hunting. Though It la un known yet how the accident happened, it Is believed that while crawling through a fence the gun was dis charged, the explosion blowing off the top of the young man's head.

FAST WORK IS PROMISED Army Officers Enter Teams in Push Ball and Hurdle Races and Stee- . plechase Will Add to Inter est in Biff Event- Batteries "A" ana "B." gnt field ar tillery, from Vancouver Barracks, will give exhibitions of rapid fire drill at each performance of the fourth annual Horse Show, which will Be held for three days, beginning next Thursday, in the Oriental building of the Lewis and Clark Exposition under the aus pices of the Portland Hunt Club. They are known throughout the country as the famous "mule batteries," and are the same which attracted attention at the recent military tournament in Ta coma, Wash. The records attained by these artill erymen have never been equalled by any other soldiers in the world. Trained carefully in every movement, each man and each mule fills his appointed place with the precision of the parts of a machine. The section from "A" Battery will give the first exhibition With the cannon on the ground and the mules standing In the rear, the animals will be saddled. At a given signal the guns will be dismounted and packed on the mules. The mules will advance 60 yards, when the guns will be unpacked, assembled and fired. This exhibition has been given complete In Just 30 seconds and it seldom takes longer than 40 seconds. Battery "B" will seal an 18-foot wall with the gun and then fire a shot. This Is the more spectacular exhibition of the two. The gun will be packed on tha mules a short distance in the rear of the wall and at a signal the battery will advance to the wall. Th men wul scale the wall taking the cannon with them. They will then assemble the gun fire one shot and advance 60 yards and fire another, the entire exhibition taking not longer than two minutes. These exhibitions by the two batter lea will be among the most attractive special features for the Horse Show. Consent for them to come to this city was recently given by General Maus, commanding the Department of the Co lumbia. The soldiers will arrive in this cltv Thursday morning from Van couver Barracks, and will go Into quar ters, which are being prepared for theal near the pavilion. Besides these attractions the officers of Vancouver Barracks have entered teams In the various pusnDaii games and hurdle races and the steeplechase, the steeplechase being the big attrac tion of the Friday night performance. More than 70 entries have been made by Army officers in the various classes, and as they own many fine horses, which are well trained, it is predicted llUil UIO .'1 i J w ... j A 1 n v ir m -nn,h.. nf nM Of V folk f TOTTl Vancouver, Wash., TV111 be present.

MARSHTTELD, Or., Oct. . (Special) Some of the business men have started a plan for a business boulevard in this city. The plan Is to make of Bennett avenue a thoroughfare 100 feet wide to extend from Broadway to the olty limits.

The Idea Is to model after Market street In San Francisco and make one main thoroughfare, which will lead to the main residence district of the city. The plan is to beautify the street and pave It with asphalt and make It one of the finest business streets In this tart of the Btate. The plan has re-1 celved the indorsement of Mayor Straw,! who is also furthering a plan for con- etructing a park driveway on a strip' of land 350 feet wide toextend from the; city four miles to the ocean.
