T he u m e principle« of tillage,
In preparation of land for crop« and
subsequent cultivation, which have
proven so successful In raising
graln crops on Western semi arid
lands without Irrigation, are prov-
ing successful for crops raised un
der Irrigation and for orchards and
vineyards, according to Hardy W.
Campbell, Farm Adviser for the
Southern Pacific Company. Camp-
bell has Inspected this season a
-number of new orchards and visa-
yards In California. Oregon. Ne
vada, Arltona, and New Mexico.

what Is now called the "Campbell
System of Efry Farming." Camp

"dry" and insists th at-th e princl-

Arizona, to Investigate conditions

Interesting evidence of the direct
e ffect'o f properly prepared lands
was recently received by Campbell
from a Metropolis, Nevada, grain-
field prepared under his direction,
in the form of three stools of wheat
One stool had 81 stalks, one 103 and
one 120. each 2he result of one grain
of wheat drilled ln well prepared
soil that was liberally supplied wu:h
fertility,through well planned and
tim ely work. This crop was raised
without Irrigation, but was pre
pared for by summer tillage ln 1921
and grown this year.
More evidence of what cultlva-
tfon of a growing crop means was
sent to Campbell by A. B Shield
of Delano, Kern County, California,
ln four heads of wheat from s
Stool grown on Shield’s ranch. This
stool bed ample space and was
m ltivated while growing, no fertil
liers or tyrigatlon being used. The
stool contained forty-four heads
sveraglng T8 grains each or slightly
ovsr 3400 grains from one stool.
Such results, says Campbell, slm-
ply mean that under certain phys-
leal conditions brought about by
the right kind of tillage at the
proper time, very much more grain,
fruit or vegetables may be grown
per acre than is commonly ob
tained. The usual query ts “Does it
p ay ’ ” to which Campbell replies
very emphatically ln the affirma
tive.
Csmpbell ’ recently inspected a
number of new orchards and vine
yards ln the southern and central
portions of California to study meth
ods and principles commonly prac
ticed in preparing the land and
the after care in Irrigation and
cultivation. One of these lnspec-
ttons was of a 4000 acre peach
orchard of one. two and three-year-
old trees belonging to the Call-
fornla Packing Corporation and Io-
cated east of Merced, Calif. What
Campbell saw here in connection
with his
general observations
shows that thq real advantage of
careful preparation of the soil be-
fore setting is sometimes, but not
generally fully considered and
appreciated.
“It is very important to first
prepare the surface by leveling,"
says Campbell. "Then arrange for

No little interrat is being taken

re.e.ved from almost one million
people and 20 per cent favor re-
peal of the dry amendment. How
ever, it is pointed out by the
Attluria Budget that if we elimi.

tory vote wan overwhelmingly we.
and New Yoik alone contributed a
modification majority of over 19,-
000. Throughout the nation at
large 26 elates oast a majority vote
in favor of strict enforcement while
24 states gave majorities in favor
of modification. This is an im
portant feature of the situation be-
qauve if any constitutional change
is inleuded it will be necessary to
muster three-fourths of the state«

doubtless voted for that ui der the
impression that congress bi.t more
