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."
