both. We hope the Pomona granges

upon this matter, and ask the state

DRY FARMING IN GRAND RONDE.
Campbell System a Great Success
With Airuira.
The La Grande Observer gives the
following account of an experiment
In Washington gulch: " . '
Following the system of dry fnim-
Ing Introduced In Oregon by the late
R. C. Judspn, industrial agent of the
O. R. & N and known as the Camp
bell system, George F. Wright, the
Washington gulch rancher, a year
ago this spring, sowed a field of al
falfa with the dry seed which Mr.
Judson Imported from Germany and
cultivated It under the dry system.
Mr. Wright reports now that this
alfalfa Is growing and is higher and
healthier than the other alfalfa which
he Is raising by Irrigation. He Is a
firm believer In the dry farming sys
tem as applied to bench lands and
looks for splendid results not only In
his Immediate neighborhood, on his
own ranch, but all through the county
where others have tried the experi
ment. ,
The fact that this seed sprouted and
grew luxuriantly through all the dry,
wet, cold, and snow of the past eight
months, fully, demonstrates what can
be accomplished by scientific methods.
M. S. ISond and other farmers oast of
Haker City are also working on these
lines and are obtaining good results.
The Wright alfalfa experiment Is
believed to be the first successful ef
fort made In this county.
Slid Into Hie Columbia.
An immense cliff, known as Black
Hole, containing about 100 acres of
land, slid into the Columbia river at
China rapids, six miles south of Je
rome, In the Colville reservation, last
Thursday afternoon. The stream was
completely dammed up for a time, but
later a hole wan worn through the
debris. The water In the river back
ed up eight miles and a flood wah
threatened for a time, but the wear
ing through of a channel prevented It.
A cabin owned by Dan Leydon, a
homesteader, was washed away.
