DRY FARMING.
Th rubject of dry farming
should be of great interest to the
people of Crook county. There is
immense possibilities in it for the
people of Central Oregon. The
principle involved is by no means
a new discovery. It has long been
known that thorough surface culti
vation conserves moisture. The
"Campbell svstem" which has
shown such wonderful results
when followed intelligently has re
vived the subject in the semi-arid
west with the result that many
thousands of acres that were con
sidered worthless are brought
under cultivation. A writer in
the Century in describing the sys
tem says that two things are neces
sary. "First, to keep the surface of the
land under cultivation loose and
finely pulverited. This forms a
soil mulch that permits the rains
and melting snows to percolate
readilv through to the compacted
soil beneath, and that at the same
time prevents the moisture store in
in the ground from being brought
to the surface by capillary attrac
tion, to be absorbed by the hot,
dry air. The second is to keep the
sub-soil finely pulverized and firm
ly compacted, increasing its water
holding capacity and its capillary
attraction, and placing it in the
best possible physical condition for
the germination of seed and the
development of plant root. The
dry farmer thus stores water not
in dams and artificial reservoirs,
but right where it can be reached
by the roots of growing crops."
Following out these methods a
rainfall of twelve inches can be
conserved, we are told, so effective
ly that it will produce better re
sults than are usually expected of
an annual precipitation of twenty
four inches in humid America.
This discoverer and demonstra
tor of these principles has made it
possible to cover with wheat and
corn, alfalfa and other useful
crops, ten thousands of square
miles of fertile land on which
nothing but sage brush, cacti,
Kansas sunflowers and bunch grass
are now found. What this means
to the country is best appreciated
when the vast amount of arid
land, that cannot be reclaimed by
irrigation even, is considered.
Snow or rain falls, to a certain ex
tent, everywhere, and when the
precipitation is utilized, as suggest
ed millions of acres will be added
to the habitable area of the coun-
,ry-
The people of Eastern Oregon
will he gratified to learn that the
Hwlrographic Office of the Geolog
ichI Survey will co operate with
Siute Engineer Lewis and enter
upon a thorough study of the
water resources of the state of Ore
gon. The object is to determine
the amount of water available for
irrigation and power purposes.
The underground waters will be
carefully studied in that land ly
ing outside of the reach of rivers
and streams may be reclaimed by
reason of the under ground supply
Many strangers are to be seen
going over Crook county looking
for land and investments of one
kind or another. These people are
just what we want. They have
considerable means or at least suf
ficient money to give them a good
start in a new country where
prices have not been boomed out
of reach of the average man's
purse. It will not be many years
before present prices will double or
quadruple in value. Its bound to
come.
What are you going to do about
insurance is becoming a serious
matter in Oregon. With about
ten millions of insurance that is
practically worthless and the un
certainty existing as to the finan
cial standing of other companies
makes a complicated situation.
The uncertainty is what ia causing
the anxiety. One cannot tell
whether he is insured in a solvent,

The drought continues in all
parts of the State says the U. S.
Weekly Weather Bulletin, the on
ly precipitation reported being
light showers in some of the coast
counties and in the Powder River
valley in the Blue Mountains. I
r ,i" i-n ,
In the Willamette valley and the
Coast Counties the forenoons were !
generally cool and cloudy and the
afternoons warm and clear. In
the remaining portion of the State,
both the mornings and the after
noons were generally clear There
has been an increase in the num
ber of forest fires and the atmos
phere, in consequence, is becoming
somewhat smoky, although, except
in the immediate neighborhood ot
the hres, the smoke is not dense.
The mean temperature averaged
about normal, and the week was
considerably cooler than the pre
ceding one. In Southern Oregon
the mornings were unusually cool,
and the afternoon temperatures
averaged nearly three degrees
above normal. In

teenth and .Northrup streets (which property we
own) does not become filled up with Pianos" and
Organs, and in order to keep things moving, we are
offering the choice of any of these fine new Pianos
at actual Wholesale and less than wholesale.
In addition you can buy any of these beautiful
Pianos on a new rental payment contract, paying
So down and 5 a month. Think of it, your choice
