DRY FARMING SUCCESS HERE.
TUlman Reuter ot Madras, Crook
county. Is receiving considerable
newspaper notoriety these days be
cause of his success In dry fanning.
On the semi-arid uplands near Mad
ras he produces big crops of splen
did quality, Including alfalfa, forage
plants, roots, onions and summer
squash, all without irrigation'. Yet
on these products Mr. Rculer has
won prizes ln open competition.
It Is said that contrasted with neigh
boring farms, it, looks a if some mir
acle were In progress within his fen
ces, or that some specially fertile
soil had been chosen' for an experi
ment. But the miracle Is only the
dally hard work that Is taught how
to avail itself of the reserves of hid
den moisture that otherwise would be
sucked up and lost In the dry air.
Of course It 1b not fair to compare
the so-called dry land farming dis
trict here, with Its 19 to 20 inches av
erage rainfall, with semi-arid Crook,
but the comparison of farmers and
their results here can be made and
Is found to be similar to that of Mr.
Reuter and his neighbors. In the old
er sottled and longer farmed part of
our dry land district the farmers who
use scientific, modern methods achieve
result that are simply wonderful. Sev
eral have bocome wealthy in a few
yeara by straight farming, doing bet
ter than the average on irrigated
land. These are not "bonanza farmers"
on big tracts either, but men who own
from 240 to four or five hundred ac
res. (
This statement Is no mere asser
tion but is a moderate statement of
actual facts.
The size of the crops is a matter
of record. The best farmers think a
yield of 40 bushels of wheat to' the
acre nothing to brag about.
The quality of the grain and other
crops la unsurpassed In Eastern Ore
gon or Washington. Bach of the four
flouring mills in this valley Is anxi
ous to secure hill wheat . It is al
most invariably prime milling grain.
And It Is not the little draws and
valleys between the hills where the
best wheat and most of It Is grown.
It is the hill sides and hill tops.
All farmers are not successful in
the hills, but it Is not the fault of
the soil or climate.
All the foregoing are actual facts
and can be verified by the best auth
oritythe bankers who handle the
money for the crops.
In spite of tills showing our county
is cursed by a set of knockers who
decry on every possible occasion' our
best wheat land. Some of these same
knockers have grown rich in this
county and are therefore like the
birds 'that befoul their own nests.
Some of them own hundreds and ev
en thousands of acres of this wheat
land and are ever trying to grab
more. They run it down, its possibil
ities, its, latent value, its price, yet
if you tried to buy some of thai
lend you would find it priced a lit
tle higher' than the ruling price for
similar land.
Every part of the county is cursed
with these knockers.
They are the men' who are doing
the roost to keep the county back.
If it were not for them, and their
brothers-ln-moss, the town knockers,
we would have received! 1000 new set
tlers in this county during 1911.
Do you doubt it? What county In
Eastern Oregon can, show the natural
resources or the opportunities for In
vestors and settlers that Wallowa can
Not one. Then why so few of the
25 or 30 thousand .colonists! who have
come to Oregon this spring have come
here? You answer, lack of publicity.
That's true, but If it were not for the
knockers there would be publicity.
They are the fellows that keep enough
strife going to prevent harmony In
each town, and to make co-operatlon
between the towns possible. '
The knocker is of no' possible use
or value to a community. The good
knocker Is Jlke the good Indian. He's
dead.

THE SPECIAL SESSION.
A special session of the Sixty-Second
congresa convened Tuesday. This
Is the new congress, with the House
Democratic and 'the Senate Republi
can, to use the old names, but In real
ity with the Progressives in control
of both House and Senate.
Congress Is convened in this spec.
lal session by President Taft primari
ly to pass the Canadian Reciprocity
treaty, but some other urgent unfln'
iuhed business left by the last congress
will be considered.
The Tariff Commission bill, an ad
ministration' measure, has a good
chance for passage. This Is one of
the wisest measures ever before con
gress. It was first advocated as far as
the writer knows by President Ar
thur, nearly 30 years ago, but spec
lal interests that have controlled all
tariff legislation, Republican or Dem
ocratic, during that time, have prevent
ed its ever getting out of committee
rooms. It takes the tariff out of
politics In a large measure, and there
fore tariff changes will cease to be
such a great disturbing element to
business every four years.
The passage of this bill will be a

feather in Taft's cap.
The measure that will give Taft
enough plumes to stock a wholesale
millinery shop, will probably not be
considered until the regular session
next winter. We refer to the Arbi
tration Treaty with Great Britain by
which both nations solemnly agree
never to go to war with each other
for any cause whatsoever, turning all
matters of differences, Including those
of "vital interest, territory and honor"
over to the International Court of
Arbitration. This will be the most
momentous event since that hot July
day In Philadelphia when the boy
ran under the tower of Old Liberty
Bell, shouting, "Ring, Grandpa, ring
for Liberty!"
The big difference between the la3t
congress and this is that the majority
of this congress is composed of men
who will not be restricted by unseen
ties or antiquated rules and customs
from truly representing the people
who elected them. The last but why
rake up dead ashes?
The question of greatest popular in
terest that will doubtless be handled
at the special session 13 election, of
senators by the people. This pro
posed amendment will undoubtedly be
adopted by the requisite two-thirds
vote and then go to the states for
ratification'.
To get this popular measure thru
congress has taken, even longer than
to put tariff revision on a scientific
basis, all of which just goes to show
how little force public opinion has
aad liu Washington.

Just to 'give you an idea what the
Japanese cavalry can do, we quote
from memory what a troop recent
ly accomplished. ,In five hours, 15
minutes and 35 seconds. 500 men rode
5798 miles without anything to eat
or drink and the horses galloped ev
ary inch of the way, most of the jour
aey being up hill. This statement
is made just to show how tough and.
hardy these Japs are. They were al
so In nine- different sections of the
country at once, beating the Irish
man's flea by seven points. And when
the horses arrived at the end of the
Journey they were as fresh as when
they started and all the men turned
back hand springs around a mile track.

To cure beef tongues: Trim and
drop them into boiling water for a
few minutes to "plump" them, and
close the pores so as to retain the
juices. When cool, rub them with a
mixture in the proportion of one pint
of salt, one teaspoonful of salt-peter
and a quarter of a pound! of brown
sugar to every twenty pounds of
tongue. Pack them In an earthen ves
sel, not a tin or iron one; sprinkle
lightly with salt and put a weight on
top. Turn them every other day,
putting the bottom ones on top and
packing them closely. Let them lie
about ten days, then hang them up,
and when dry put them into bags to
keep from the fltes. if you do not
wish to use a whole tongue at once,
It does not hurt to cut one in two.
