THE ASHLAND DAILY TIDINGS
Dry Land Farming
Is Successful In
Ashland Vicinity
By F. L. NUTTER
A fter much study and investiga
tion of local conditions, with two
y ears’ experience, I would say th a t
dry farm ing In the Ashland district
is a decided success.
Apples, peaches, cherries and
pears, as well as prunes, plums and
many other varieties of fru it, grow
profusely, and as fine, large apricots
as I ever saw have been produced on
th e dry land of this sector.
Grapes grow as large a n d possess
as fine flavor as can be produced
anywhere. I have seen rye th a t
stood eight feet high, wheat seven
feet tall. Two fine crops of alfalfa
have been harvested with a third for
pasture.
Corn has made a record here that
would do credit to any corn country.
Melons and garden truck of all varie
ties have been successfully grown.
Much of the irrigated land of this
section has been nourished, not only
by water, but by various kinds of
fertilizer, and has really received
much more attention than the dry
land.
Many persons come here from the
east, where irrigation is unnecessary,

Production of
Radium Stili
Confers in U. S.
WASHINGTON, D. C„ Oct. 18—
Despite reports from London telling
of a radium corner executed by B rit
ish interests when they acquired the
product of Czecho-Slovakian pitch
blende mines, America is still and
will probably continue to be the lead
ing producer of radium of the
world, and it has the largest known
reserves of radium -bearing
min
erals.
The im portance of the pitchblende
mines of Bohemia (Czecho-Slovakia)
has been greatly exaggerated in the
public mind, according to F ran k L.
Hess, specialist in the ra re r metals.
