O R EG O N 'S MILK IS TOO RICH. Dry Fdrmirg. Hcrriman In Oregon on Vacation. “ That practically every foot o f the semi-arid lands o f Umatilla county will produce crops under the dry farming methods now in us * in the arid districts o f Kansas, Nebraska and Wyoming, is the belief o f J S. Welch o f Chicago, a dry farmer expert formerly o f Chey enne, Wyo., who was in the city today on his way to Portland on business. “ ‘I nave seen drier land than you have in Umatilla county convertei into fine farming land which is now support ing n good population and yielding a handsome income to the owners. True, this land looked forbidding when t! e pioneer dry farmers went upon it. It was without water, had but little rain fall and was barren of vegetaticn and exceedingly unpromising. Some of it was fairly good range land for a por tion of each year but it was not first- class wild grass land “ ‘But the jatient farmers have plowed it deep, cultivated it, frequent ly disced it, harrowed it, rolled it and packed it down with the moisture of the winter season in the soil and it is now yielding from 30 to 45 bushels of corn, good yields o f dry land alfafa and excellent barley, oats and cow peas. “ ‘The land that was once almost valueless in its rough state is now worth from $25 to $50 per acre and is supporting a heavy population. The dry farming area is spreading constant ly. Like the growth o f timber which follows the settlement westward dry farming is coming westward and with in a few years it will reach the arid section of Idaho and Oregon. “ ‘ You do not need half o f the moist ure you think you do to produce good crops. “ ‘I believe that this system will re deem the west as quickly as irrigation and the cost of installing the system is so much less than that o f inigation, that poor men can go upon dry land empty handed and within a few years be independent, while under irrigation the poor man must have the price of the water in addition to the price of the land and under many o f the sys tems must wait for several years for the water-’ ’ ’ — East Oregonian. • 9 M r towu Tuesday .il.so Maggie Janes, o f Beagle, was in town Monday.
