(Special Dispatch to The Joornal.l State College, Pullman. Wash., Dec. 18 Kor the pant two years the staff of the State College experiment station has been, carrying on an extensive Una of experimentation to discover a "dry farming" method, through which the crop yield of the so-called "dry sections" of the state and northwest could be in creased. Tha work has been under the personal supervision j of Professor oeorea Severance, formerly agronomist of the station, and recently made head of the department of agriculture. Final results from the experiments have not benn compiled, but it Is known that the , lai niuiH niui-HXIU nulla mi' VACS ted bv Professor Kvernno will In all cases improve the quality of the ce- , reals arown,- and there Is . good reason i for tetievDi that the acreage .yield will be 'increased." .' v- v.,.. ...,- . -"We know that a' superior quality Of (train ran t ktowji under in. metnoai of scientific tillaee for the dry seo tioas," says rrofesor Severance.

The mnthiHii wa advocate are ax follows: "Iwind that la summer fallowed should be disced as sood as spring has opened. In order to form a mulch of loose,' dry earth nn the surface to Drevent the rise and escape of the moisture from below. This discing also helps to induce the germination or weea seeas. so mai iney will be destroyed when the plowing is aone later. . "An soon as the soring work is done, this At are A land should be Dlowed as rapidly as possible, Thein Instead of leaving the plowed land untouched, as is frequently the caae a (Campbell! sub surface packet, which consists of skele ton wheels that sink Into the ftirrow, is made to follow the plow as closely as possible. , . Process Prevents Drying. "This packing process prevent the drying out of the furrow, and at the same time the form of tne toot ts euen that the surface of the soil Is left al most untouched, thus avoiding the con dition that la raised against most com pacting tools: that they 'ftne', the aoll, and encouraea drifting. "Cultivation throughout toe summer must be sufficient to Keen xne weea a dawn, and should be. done with some ,knlfe'. type of cultivator. The reason lor using mis type or cultivator i i keep the weeds thoroughly cut off with tho' least amount of working over of the loose mulch on the surface. If suffi cient cultivation la given with a spike tooth harrow, or a point shovel cultiva tor to keep the weeds down, the surface Is made so fine that it will drift badly, and is likely to run together and puddle or bake. Tha vital-joints re the early discing and use of trie sub-surface packer Im mediately after tha tise of the plow, and the furrow cultivation with- a type of tool that does the minimum of pulver ising at tbo surface." 1-1 :at the theatees Rose Stahl at Helllff Tonight. . .
