One of the mottt valua ie and prac tical reports ever issued tor the bene- tlt of the dry fanners la Oregon, Wash Ington, Idaho, Utah and other states on the north Pacific coast and ln the great basin has just been published by the International Dry Farming congress, whose noxt great convention nnil exposition will be hold at Loth bridge, Canada, In October, 1912. It in a committee report on drouth re sistant crops, the Bectlon referred to being covered by Prof. F. D. Farroll of tho United States department of ag riculture. Prof. Farrell states that tho cereal crops are those In which most de pendence can be placed throughout nil of this groat area. Wheat la first In Importance. Winter whont, espo chlly Turkey Iod Is Invariably prefer nblo to tho spring varieties In the l'riat basin. Winter oats are prom but not dependable and winter barley Is also reasonably sure. Win tor tiumer for stock feed, rye for late fall and early spring pasturo and as a B''Hin crop, alfalfa for soil Improve ment mid for forage, brome grass for pasture, the sorghums for forage at altitude below 3.500 feet, broom corn at altitudes below 3,000 feet, juid po tatoes on small fields are especially recommended for the dry forms of this region. Many years of experi ence have demonstrated that spring oats spring barley, spring wheat, corn llnx, Canada peas and sugar beets are iot dislrablo nor successful crops in the Brent bnsln, except In limited ami especially favorable areas. In Washington, Oregon and north ern Idaho, however, spring wheat, es pecially a variety called Washington llluc- Stein, does well, and cow peas, soy beans, brown kowlalng, white katir corn and mllo maize are also ero,)j to be usually depended on. "Too many fanners," says the re port, "ore Inclined to look to new nnil ttrange crops for easy success. It t. ould be remembered that Uie crops which have been grown the longest In any locality are usually best able to withstand tho unfavorable condi tions common to that locality. For that reason It is well for farmers to lie extremely cautious In the matter of trying new crops, and not to pur craso largo quantities of foreign seed at high prices. All preliminary trla's should be made on a small and Inex pensive scale." THIS DATE IX HISTORY. January 2. 1707 Calcutta letaken by the Eng lish, and the Soubah put to death. 1797 Hugh S.
