Scientific Methods of Dry
Farm Ins: Thoroughly
Discussed By Experts.
(Special to the Examiner)
Omitting trie bran tand , the mili
tarjr oisplsy, tha fireworks both pro
technical and verbal, the Eighth InUr
national Dry Farming Congress which
taa held at Tulsa, Okie., from October
22 to 81, inclusive, marktd another
mi Ira tone of that progress which
should be the goal of every farmer ani
farmer's wife of the Northern Hemis
phere It was the most stupendous
testimony to the modern theory ot
agriculture, that bead work plus bind
work means sucres, that the writer
ever witnessed. From origins which
as recently as ten yeara ago were
considered leagues beyond the deadline
came wheat weighing 62 1-2 pounds
to the boshel and 88 bushels to the
acre, potatoes weighing over C pounds
each, squashes over 3 feet long, alfalfa
making S tons to the acre and corn
that would make tbe average corn
belt farmer envious and sad.
Five large buildings were required
to furnieh sufficient room for the ex
hibits which poo red in, not only from
states and counties, but from Individ
ual farmera. Many thousand dollars,
much farm macbinerv, and several
cope were awarded . aa prices to tbe
various exhibitora. Bot tbeae awards
and prices were merely aymtols
badges of recognition. The real win
ners, aa shown by the Congress, were
the two nations, Canada and tbe
United States winners in that the
food problem was being solved within
their borders, and winner in the pos
session of a torsi population with the
spirit to brave unfriendly nstural con
ditinns and the brains to conquer them.
The Dry farming Congress, from
the speeches of the illustrious .gricul
turists who weie there, to tbe long
rows of soil products, was an indirect
but deadly protest against American
carelessness in farm methods. It was
shown st Tulsa that to a man who ia
familisr with the general farming
from Florida to tbe Dakotas. dry
farming is nothing more or less tban
applying, to land which suffers from
lack of rain, principles which produce
the best results when applied to land
enioying plenty of rain.
It was a nation-wide lesson on good
farming. It proved that tbe success
ful rales of good farming were the
good rulea of eucceasful farming. The
pioneer aettlere on practically deferi
land were left to demonstrate by prac
tical results what farm journals, gov
ernment schools, and the service
bureaus of tbe big machine companies
have tried to teach, ' that the lands
mentala of farming are deeper plow
ing, better cultivation, more animal
fertilizer, and better seeded selection
It was claimed by those who had ex
pcrimented for years that in breaking
up the rod It is more profitable to turn
it under from 10 to 12 inches tban
from 4 to 8, which ia the popu'ar
depth. By actual experiment between
two acres In tbe same field, land treat
ed by deep tillage yielded 1100 more in
produce in 10 years than a similar acre
plowed only 6 inches. In another case
in bringing out the value of humus as
a factor in increasing the water hold
ing power of aoila.it waa found that
in 100 pounds of ordinary sandy aoil
there was 19 pounds of water, while on
tbe other band, the aame amount of
garden soil, well filled with humus, con
tained 63 pounds of water, or nearly
three timea as mvoh. By deep plow
ing before the rains, followed by good
deep cultivation to aave tha stored
water, the amount of water availabb
tor plants can be increased nearly fifty
per cert. With such an increase there
should never, even in the driest sec
tions, be such a scarcity ot water as
to cause a loss of tbe crop. The best
insurance against drouth next aummer
is deep plowing this winter and early
spring. Turn tbe land, if possible, to
a depth ot at least eight inches, and
then follow this plowing with some
implement in each furrow that will
atir the soil at least another four or
six inches. With such preparation be
fore tbe rains eome, oaten aoil should
and will abaorb enougfc water to in
sure a crop next aummer.
Another significant event which char
acterised the Tulsa Congress was the
assembling of the toird annual meet
ing ot the International Congress of
Farm Women.
It was ore of the strongest and best
organised women's gatherings the
country has ever seen. It waa in seas
ion five days and many women of
national note were present and address
ed the delegates on matters of especial
interest . to the housewives on the
farm. The keynote of this event was
oontained in an address by Mrs. Belle
v'D Harbert, Mancanola, Colorado,'
who presented the life'a duties of the
home-building mother in a brilliant
speech cbsracterited by one of ber
auditors aa "almost pathetic In 'its
challenge and almost challenging in
Its pathos." - She said :
"The International Congress of Farm
Women, organised at Colorado Springs
in Oefobtr, 1911, is a womaa'e move
ment toward the goal ot social justice.
"Tha world has absolutely fsiled to
appreciate the economic valoe of the
farmer's w fe, and aha bas now step
ped upon the stage of social progre'i
and offered to help in the aolmton of
the world's great problems. Her ex
perience aa tha keeper of the rural
home from which so many great men
of all nation aa have come, ber know
ledge of the burdena and eare which
have driven so msny thousands of her
sitters from the fsrm to take refuge
In the cities, and ber unselfish desire
to be of real service to humanity, bave
prompted this organization. Results
most Important to the future of all
nations are aura to follow.
"It ia the beginning of a new era in
coon try life. There is no doubt aa to
the responsibility for tbe wholeaale
movement toward the city doting the
past decsde. Women become tired ot1
tbe drudgey esused by lack of conven
ience in the rural homes, bat wbicb
are furnished in tbe cities. In the
eity she has water in the bouse, fuel
for cooking, lights, and often heat
The sewersge proolem Is solved and
there are a thousand other conven
iences which abe could not bave under
present existing circumstances in the
rural communities. She becomes tired
of tbe monotony and isolation she has
to endure and naturally turns to tha
city aa a means of relief.
"Farm women bave hitherto labored
and died as individuals. Tbey bave
never been recognized as a class or
factor in the world's work. Other
great industries bavo always bad ample
consideration and bv the student of
social problems; so bave tbe wage
camera, but she who baa given to tbe
world it'a recruits of brain and brawn
baa bad no fitting recognition.
"Much haa been said of late about
tbe popularity of tbe 'Back to the
Farm' movement on account of modern
methods of aoil tillage, up-to-date
machinery and a better knowledge of
farm management: bat practically
nothing baa been said in regard to
power for household use, best methods
of securing a plentiful wster supply
for the house, tbe most sanitsry meth
ods of disposing of sewerage, and up-to-date
methods of famishing light
and beat for the farm bome.
"These household problems must be
solved before tbe 'Back to tbe Farm'
movement will ever be popular.
Women are not going back to tbe farm
to milk cows and make butter without
the help of a cream separator and
other modern conveniences with power
to run tbem. Never again will she
be willing to carry water for house
hold use when modern inventiona are
cheaper than human strength: never
again will abe be content to epin and
knit and weave like her grandmother
did, or be a slave to the broom and
dustcloth when a vacuum cleaner aaves
its price in doctor's bills every- year
ot its installment.
The International Congress ot
Farm Women has been organized aa a
aort ot clearing bouse for - the farm
home troubles. It exerts a unifying
influence which binds the farm women
of all nations aa into one great sister
hood."
As a tribute to what American farm
ers bave accomplished, seventeen
foreign nations sent over two acore of
delegates to investigste American
methods and American machines.

suffered more or lest from kidney
trouble for Ave yeara. I got worse as
time passed. Sharp palus darted
through the small of my back and
sometimes they were so bad that I
could hardly stoop or straighten. At
night my back ached so much i could
not rest. I was told to try Doan's
Kidney Pills and I did. Tbey checked
the trouble at once and soon drove It
from my system. All I said about
Doan's Kidney Pills when I recom
mended them before, still holds good.
I have had only one slUht sign of kid

right away."
