SYSTEM OF FARMING
ON SEMI-ARID LAND
A Minnesota Farmer Who Prac
tice "Summer Tilling" and
Raises Big Crops.
The following ia from the Little
Falls Herald, of Morrison coouty,
Minu., wherein it given a system of
dry farmiug by one H. W. Campbell.
It is believed it will prove an inter
esting article to many of onr farmers.
The article follows:
Anyone who has doubts of the
practicability of the Campbell sys
tem shoo id come here before harvest
and comiare the crops on the Pome-
roy farm with tuose upon the farms
that sorionud it, for the yield of
wheat, oats, oorn, potatoes aud every
thing else that is growing will be
four or five times as great as will be
harvested ou the other side of the
fence.
Mr. Campbell has beon working in
North Dakota, Sooth Dakota Ne
braska and Kaunas for 20 years or
more, trying to induoe farmers to
adopt bis plan of "soil culture, "as he
calls it, and everywhere he has been
from the James River in the north to
the Arkansas, he has been equally
sucessful in producing without irri
gation the same results that are
usually expected with irrigation
with comparatively little more ex
pense, but a good deal more care and
labor. The whole thing is simply
the exerolse of care and patience,
and any man of ordinary intelligence
can work it as well as a college pro
fessor could.
Mr. Campbell's prinnip'es, as he
explained them to me are:
1. Catch the rainfall and store it
where the roots of the plant can
reach it
3. Keep the soil always fine aud
loose.
3. Have a firm, solid foundation
under the soil a bottom to hold the
water.
"What will this accomplish?" I
asked.
"The careful, regular application
of these principles in farming will
produce at least three times the re
suits of ordinary farming, aud often
four or five times the results, " said
Mr. Campbell.
"What is that additional expeuse?
"Iu Iowa or eastern Kansas not
more than 35 per cent more labor is
necessary than is usually expended
upon a crop by a good farmer. Ou
the prairies, as a rule, farmiug is
cheap and slipshod aud twice the
labor is uecessnry. But this is offset
to a certain extent by a saving of
two-thirds of the seed. An ordinary
funnel sows 40 quarts ot wheat to the
acre aud gets from nothing to 20
bushels, 13 bushels to the acre being
the average crop of the state, aud 1"
bushels the highest stute average that
has been raached in Kansas for 10
years. Under my system auy uaius
tukiug farmer by sowing 12 quarts of
wheat to the acre aud cultivating
his soil carefully will harvest any
where from 40 to 51! bushels without
fail."
"How do you do it?"
"iiy storing the rainfall iu the
soil, " answered Mr. Campbell, "by
keepiug the surface of the ground
always loose, which stops evaporation.
It is impossible for moisture to rise
to the surfaoe through loose soil, and
that leaves the grouud in the best con
dition to receive the next rainfall.
Thus you can mako 14 inches of raiu
go as far is 2 inches in raising all
kinds of crops or plants or trees. Wa
do net losj auy of the rain we have
full benefit of it. We keep It stored
where the roots of the plants can
reach it when they need it. '
"How do yon accomplish this?"
"IS? stirring np the soil with a
revolving disk, aud then going over
it again and filling op the furrow.
We call Ibis 'double disking.' It
pulverizes the soil aud levels it off.
We keep goiog over it again aud
again, begin early iu the spring aud
continuing until the last ot June or
the first part of July. Afler every
rain we stir np the soil, either with
a disk or an 'Acme' harrow. Filially
we plow seven inches deep in the
ordiuary way and follow the plow
with a subsurface packet a machine
which makes a compact, solid bottom,
four inches from the surface, under
the loose soil. Then we go over it
again with the Acme harrow so as to
keep the top soil loose and pulver
ized. After working the soil for a
year in this way by what we call
Summer tilliug,' we put iu our
wheat, either in the fall or in the
spring, as is usual. The first year
we do not put in auy seed. W'e simply
keep stirring op the ion thai it win
remain loose aud pulverized, and after!
one vear of this sort of cultivation 1
three crotis call be grown in
tUCCet-
sion ithout renew ing the tilling. In
some canes it ia better to till every
other year and raise a crop alternate
years.
' ' If crops are planted every year
the reaper must be Immediately fol
lowed bv the tilow aud the stubble
immediately turned under aud the
soil disk sod barrow kept at work
all winter if it is spring wheat, or
from June harvest to the September
planting if winter wheat. The same
rule must be applied to all the other
kinds of crops,
i "To repeat: It is simply a question
! of the thorough working of the soil,
' as I have described. That ia more
Important than Ibe rainfall. No
1 man can expect a crop who simply
1 tenia under the sod aud trailers his
teed and hauls a harrow carelessly
! over the field. Labor and paint sre
necessary to produce good retain,
whether yon sre farming or making
, furniture or publishing auewtpeper. '

The patrons and the carrier on the
Grants Pass rnral free delivery route

orders recently issued by the post-
master-geueral, and the resideuts of
Loose creek and Jnn p-off-Joe will
see the spectacle of their popular
mail carrier, Wro. Jewell, Willi the
added equipment of a bucket of green
paiut aud a brush giving a St. Pat
rick's Day line to their mail boxes:
Office of Postmaster Qeneral,
Washington, D. C, July 3, 1005.
Order No. 6. Ordered that here ifter
service on all rnral delivery routes
be suspended on New Year's day
i January 1), Washington's birthday
(February 22), Memorial or Decora
tion day, (May 30), Iudepeudenco day
(July 4), first Monday in September,
known as Labor day, aud such day
as the president may set apart as
Thanksgiving day iu each calendar
year. George. Cortelyou,
Postmaster General.
The R. F. D. News for August has
the following to say regarding orders
to be given by the postofllce depart
ment which will interest not only
rural free delivery carriers bnt the
people who are patrons of the rural
routes: "To faoilitae a more no
enrato handling of the mail by rural
free dulivery oarriers the poBtofllce
department ia arranging for the num
bering of all rural letter boxes which,
under the regulations of the depart
ment, are entitled to serviue, and
authorizing the delivery by rural
letter carriers of ordinary mail mut
ters rf all classes addressed to boxes
by number alone, so long as improper
and nulawful business is not con
ducted thereby, the same as is now
permitted in the case of postofllce
boxes.
"Instructions will be sent to post
masters within a short time to assign
to boxesentitled to service cousecutive
numbers beginning with the first box
reached by carrier after leaving the
postofllce, and a new box erected sub
soqueut to the original numbering
will bo assigned subsequent to the
next cousecutive number iu use ou the
particular route.
"Boxes on newly established routes
will net be nu in he red uutil (10 day
after the commencement of the ser
vice in order that ample time may be
allowed for all prospective patrons to
secure boxes.
"The postoilice department lias iu
augurated a new policy iu the matter
of painting the rural letter boxes.
The rural letter carriers are now to
become knights of the paiut brush,
aud receive an additional compen
sation for the extra work, which, by
the way, will not be compulsory.
"There are 3,000,000 rural boxes iu
the country, and before the close of
the so miner mouths tbtse boxes will
be resplendent in a coat of brilliant
green paint, which paint will be
furnished by the department.
"Some days ago Postmaster General
Cortelyou aked tho comptroller of
the treasury if he could employ the
rural b tier carriers to paint the rural
boxes. Tho comptroller decided that
the postmaster general could contract
with the carriers to paiut these
box s, provided it did not interfere
with the mail service and the carriers
were willing to do the work. The
comptroller also suggested that it
would only he proper to see that the
work was done at a uniform price.
"In a few days the ruial carriers
will be informed by the department
that they will be allowed so much st
box the price not iieiug fixed by the
postmaster general the department
furnishing the paiut."
ONION PEST APPEARS

Will Cut Short Crop on Evans
Creek A Rot Attacks
the Bulb
R. Carter, residing on Kvanscreik
aud who farms iu Ibe summer and
mines iu the winter, was iu Grants
Pass Saturday. In addition to oilier
crops Mr. Carttr raises onions and
beans. This jear be has two acres to
beans and one acre to onions. His
beans will b a good crop, but the
yield of lii minus will be greatly
injured by the ravages of some new
pest. Tl is s' filst appealed two
years ago aud injured a lew fusion
and last year Mr. Carter lost II arly
half of hit crop and the loss w ill be
about as great this vear. As lo what
I i, i u- (',,.. r l.k ).,. nimble In
ascertain. The bolb of the onion Is
attacked uear ttie roots aud a rot tett
in that toon destroys the entire onion.
Mr. Carver will submit tome of the
d.seawd ouious to P rof. Cordley, at
tho farmers Institute in Grants fatt
on September Vth, that be may, if the
disease is known, tell what It is and
what can be done to eradicate it.
Onion growing is setting lo be ooe
of the leading crops to the farmers in
many of the tallies in Southern Oregon
and if this pest ia not checked it may
prove the ruin of this industry.
Bean and onion raising ia carried
on by a uumber of other Kvaus rrei k

THERE IS BIG PROFIT IN
RAISING ANGORA GOATS
An Idaho Farmer Gives Figures
to Prove That His Goats Are
Good Property.
The raising ot Angora goats is soon
to be one of the big industries of
Oregon. The climate and rauge are
so favorable to goats that mohair
equal to the fiueat Turkish is pro
duced aud in the markets brings the
highest prioe. There are now
thousands of these goats in the
Willamette Valley and they are being
Introduced into ether sections of the
state. There are now many fine
bauds in Rogue River Valley whore
the brush covered hills and uii'd, dry
climate affords ideal conditions for
cheap fuel and l.ealthfnlnesa for ttie
goats.
Angora goats are being introduced
into other of the Western states and
of the profit of a baud in Idaho the
Milton Eagle has the following to
tell:
J. II. Smith, who owns 320 acres
uear Freese, Idaho, has fully demon
strated the fact that Angora goat
raising is not only a source of revenue.
but affords a most valuable means of
cleaning laud. One year ago last
Spring lie brought from Kalispol to
his flue range I'M head of Angoras,
paying (t for the ewes aud flO for the
bucks. It does not require much at
tention to care for the flock, as they
thrive well upon young trees and
noxious weeds, thus aiding materially
iu cleaning the laud. 'During last
winter I fod to my 10(1 goats not to
exceed 12 tons of hay, and yet they
were iu the best of conditiou,' said
Mr. Smith. This Spring his flock
had increased to SCO, nearly 100 pur
cent. The clip, which has Just boeu
taken off, weighed UNO pounds, five
pouuds to the fleece. Mr. Smith is
snow delivering this oil board the
cars at Palouso, Wash., for Miu
oeajiolis, at 60 cents per pound.
"On tho figures given the flock oost
1200. The uext year's return from
the mohair is 4S0. 1'he increaso ia
1(14, which at 3.60 for this year's
kids represents 410 more. The grots
profit on the transaction is therefore
M00, from which the oost of 12 tons
of bay, wages for shearing, aud the
oost of taking the mohair to market
are the deductions So the goats
how a OH 2 3 per cent profit, Irre
spective of the valuo of the clearing
they did.

DEVELOPS A MINt
ON LIMITED CAPITAL
Miner Puts In a Mill and Cyanide
Ple.nl and Builds It of Material
H&d e.t His Mine.
J. H. W'hitrock in the suocssful
manner la which he Is workiug a
quarts claim on tiddlers gulch, a
tributary to Josephine creek, is
demonstrating what could be doue
ith many claims now idle in this
district, to make them profitable gold
producers with the Investment of but
small capital supplemented by
sclentiflo skill. Mr. Whitrook is a
Grants Pass yonng man, having little
money bnt tnuoh ambition aud deter
mination. Realising that the mere
prospector has but a small chance of
Winning out on a quarts proposition
that he may locate waiting for a
buyer is not always profitable. When
Mr. Whitriock located bis claim on
Fiddlers gulch he determined not to
wait, possibly years for a buyer, bnt
to woik the miue to the best Ins
small capital would permit. By
working for others he saved money
enough to take a course iu a San
Francisco mining school and gained
a knowledge of the varions processes
for treating gold ore. Two years ago
he began to equip his miue. Assisted
his father, Ileury W'hitrock, he bnilt
an arrastte aud having an available
water power he utilised that by a
id-foot overshot wheel to operate
the arrastre. The ore was at first
almost all free milling and as It run
high In values, the W'bltrocks made
big wages with their little plaut,
which they had bnilt oul if material
at baud, as only a rough trail gave
them transportation to the Illinois
river settlements where lumber and
other material could be had. Their
development work on the velu pene
trated to base ore aud they fonud that
most o the values were being lost
Iu the tailings. To effect this saving
Mr. Whitrook bnilt a small cyanide
plant. It has a oapacity of 600 pouuds
a day and it has proven a very profit
able undertaking, for while the arras
tre Is securiug good returns the rock
is so very rich that the cyanide plaut
Is able to save from 25 to 35 a tou.
Mr. W'hitrock is making no demon
stratiou about his miulug venture aud
has no promotor to give lurid ao
eouuts of fabulous wealth, bnt he and
his father are quietly working away
In the solitude of the Coast rauge of
mountains developing their miue and
getting a bank account that will enable
them to equip It with a oomplote mill
for bundling ore ill large quantities.
They have a tunnel in a dlstane of 240
feet on the veiu aud the latter ia now
showing op even better values than
wheu first uciied and ia fully three
font in width. There is every In
dication to show that Mr. W'hitrock
has a mine that will be one of the
big gold producers iu Southern Ore
gou. There are many other similar
propositions in his district awaiting
the right man to duvulop them aud
to make them into good paying prop
erties.

WHILE PEDDLING FRUIT
BOYS MAKE DISTURBANCE
Riding Car Steps and Into Other
Trouble May Cause Them to
Be Kept Off Depot Grounds.
The boys peddling fruit on the de
pot grounds are likely to cause them
selves to be prohibited from soiling
fruit about the trains as has been the
case with the fruit peddlers a:
Eugene, 'Albany and Salem, where
the boys by their unnecessary noise,
fights and by riding on the cars
brought an order down on them that
ended their busiuess career.
Early Iu the summer a few boys
began to peddle fruit about the trains
at the Grants Pass depot. The busi
ness proving profitable other boys
took it up until uow there are a score
or more boys yelliug at the top of
their voices while rnnuitig up. To
these boys are added au equal uumber
of idle boys, who with (lie fruit boys,
amuse themselves while waiting
for the trains by getting into fights
and by other diveraious known to
boys. While tho tialu Is pulling iu
many of the boys hang on to the
stops and tide to the depot. ftou
two and three boys are clinging to
one Pullman car steps. A slip will
be made some day und a bov will lose a
leg or an arm or his life. It Is
against Hie rules of the railroad com
pany and also a heavy flue by the city
for boys to steel rides ou steps aim
other places.
Many of the boys are well behaved
and make no ditturbanoo or ride car
steps, but the hoodlum boys, who
always gather at such places, by their
flgh nig and geueral disturbance are
liable to cause the railroad company
to enforce their rules and all the
boys, bad and good, will be kept off
the depot grounds. If they behave
themselves they will probably be al
lowed to earn motley by telling fruit,
otherwise lo go as the Eugene boys
went last week.

a very easy-goiug maimer aud no

the year. The few chickens raised
nre also creatures of chauce aud of
tho industry aud secretivenesa of the
hens in hiding theii nests. The re
sult of this haphazard production if
poultry is that eggs are a drug on
the market for a few mouths iu the
spring and for the remainder of the
yeai are almost impossiblo of pur
chase even at 40 to 50 cents a dozen.
