Tuesday, October IB, 1921 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, and expect to raise mammoth crops Thousands Aided by Instruction with the same cultivation and modes In Care of the Siok, Food Se­ of farm ing pursued in the eastern lection and First Aid. states, and are not careful to keep the surface of the soil pulverized.

Much of the rolling land, if irri­ gated, would be washed away or badly cut into by ditches which, if farm ed by intelligent dry farm ing methods, would produce an abun- rance of excellent, nutritious fruit. 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. United States geological survey. T heir total production up to th e end of 1920 was only 20.962 grams, while during the year 1920 alone nine radium plants in this country isolated and placed in tubes for m ed­ ical and scientific use 32.639 gram s (1.15 ounces) of radium , worth about $2,253,000, and during the same year ore carrying 43.4 gram s (about 1.5 ounces) of radium was mined.
