Drouth is the bitterest foe of our western agriculture, and to conquer thdt Bas been the constant study of many prac- Sical as well as theoretfcal farmers and scientists. For several years a score or more of our most inventive and advanced sclentists in agriculture have spent much time and thought upon thia subject. The general government has maintained a lib- eral policy as respects topographical sur- | weys, and, alded by several state agricul- tural institutions, a few practical experi- have been made and a wide range of fon has been indulged in upon the | mostly respecting surface irriga- | advantages and its cost, under warying conditions. With the exception ot Prof. H, W. Camp- Bell, all those who have been prominent | #nd persistent in the study of this problem | Dave apparently overlooked the question | whether it I8 possible to make the desert bloom by the use of a simple and inexpen- sive method of cultivation which will seors atd conserve the natural raintall and hold ft on the ground Quring the season of the growth and maturity of the crop, ou lands in the atld belt. Prof. Campbell has discovered and ap- plied this natural method with gratifying | success, while others who are interested | in the subject have devoted themselves | with much enthusiasm to the subject of ir- tion by means of ditches and pipe lines Which, to construct and maintain beyond those now In use In the section east of the Rocky mountain range, would involve an expenditure of more millions than s | 8t present warranted. It thus remained for Prof. Campbell of Hill City, Kan.,, almost single-handed and alona in his special study of this subject, to demonstrate the suc- s of his system, popularly called by fellow farmers in Grabam county, “The | Campbell Method,” and to show that more than average grain crops can be produced on the dry plains of the far west without surface Irrigation. Method Proves a Suvcess. A dozen years of constant thought and experiment have been given tu this work by which, now, Prof. Canipbell triumphs | over the {gnorant contention of those who bave watched him and have sald he was *tooling a his time,” and over others, more serious and Intelligent doubters, who, until now, have admitted only a partial bellet that Lis method of: cultivation would succeed. Now he has proven his method.a success, and it appears so simple and clear to every one wha has seen his fields in Grabam county and listened to.his, expla- pation of how he has accomplished the re- Its that stand: out before the visitsr's oyes. No one who desires to avail himseit of the opporturiity*to become & prosperous farmer on. the buffalo grass prairies of Kansas and Nebraska need hesitate %0 stake his claim aud break sod for a‘crop. Without, undertaking in a letter to go much into détall, we will say that this new method ot soll culture on semi-arid lands is based upon one simple natural law or principle in physies, viz.: That after a rain bas fallen and thoroughly soaked down into the ground at any spot, if you eover that s shavings, or with straw, or any kind of loose dry mulch, the molsture below the surface will not evaporate through the loose Ary particles that compose the mulch, dut will remain in the ground and do serv- Jce in nourishing any vegetation the roots of which are protacted by the mulch. This principle and the fact that evapora- tion is so retarded are matters of common knowledge to every one. Avalling himselt of this natural law, Prof. Campbell's ex- periments were designed to so treat and cultivate the surface of arid land that the patural raintalls are conserved and ample crops of graln have been grown amd mu- tured, Makes a Mulch . of Sand. He accomplishes this by means of ‘& simple tool called a ‘‘packer,” samething Jike a disk harrow, except that the disks are wedge shaped. With this tool he packs the soll Iy at a depth of two and a balt to seven Inchés below the surface, rendering the soll at that depth firm and eolld, but through which the water will p downward readily; above thig firm stratum of sol) he leaves the. earth loos ltke a mulch of sand or fine shavings, and keeps it so by the frequent usesof a fine tooth harrow which does the work success- fully. By the use of this harrow he keeps the fleld covered during the period when a corn crop 48 growing with what he cally the “soll muleh,”” composed of nothing but: the ght, loose particles of earth, which pre- vents evaporation of the molsture below, thus conserving it for the nourishment of the plant roots. After a rainfa soon a8 the Lurface has dried sufciently to per- mit the use of the fine tooth harrow, he stire the surface soll to prevent it from crusting and cracking and letting out the molsture from below by evaporation, as evaporation is rapid at that time, under such a condition, gnd by thus. frequently golng over the fleld with the light harrow the mulch is preserved and the molsture conserved for plant use. He informs us that the best results can be obtained with small grain by cropping only on alternal ars, letting the land lle fallow, 1s usually done by the successful ‘wheat raisers in North Dakota, but during the year when the land lies fallow he pre- pares the ground and watches every rain- fall and by his method of cultivation stores and conserves it in the soll for the growing crop In the succeeding ycar. Prof. Campbell has a fleld of wheat In Graham coynty, Kai tiat 1s now nearly ready to be harvested, which he has grown wpon the land treated and prepared by this methed of cultivation, that he expects will yleld about forty bushels per acre. He has done a great work for the benefit of the dry lands of this country by these experiments, that' have proven his system a splendid success. By his fertile brain and patient labor he has discovered a rew method of cultivation by which the vast strotch of our domain lying casterly of the Rocky mountains can be made to pro- \vide prosperous homes far several millions | of people R ves Great Encouragement. In conversation with the writer recently, Prof. Campbell expressed his gratityde to- ‘ward the managers of the rafiroads run- ning east and west through the semi-arid Delt, and said that he had recelved ‘com- stant and generous encouragement from them and on some occasions very & stantial ald, and he frankly avowed that 10 'see the bc(lnnlu ql the Teriod when Increased business on the weatarn divisions of their lines would come tn them by reason of the opening up of farms there by this new method of agri- culture &ndthe production of milllons of bushels of eorn and wheat, whete, hereto- fore, nothing but shoft grass has flourished. He is confident that not long hence, in that, at present almost deserted section ot the country, thriving agricultural com- munitfes will sbon open up and a marvelous &rowth of population and wealth will follow the. discovery of this true and natural method of making those lands yield bounti- tul crops His theory of conquering drouth Is prac- tical and valuable everywhere, for there ar dry seasons In Maine and Florida and in Tlinols. as well as in western Kansas and | Colorado. Every farmer in the country should be interested in what Prof. Camp- bell is doing. He 18 now well established to do every- thing required to fmprove aud perfect this stem of soil culture, being the manager of the model and experimental farm owned by Hoo. J.‘P. Pomeroy and situated in Graham county, Kansas. ‘The clouds are silver 1ined” has been Campbell's motto sines he became acquainted with Mr. Pome- roy. He had labored long an@ with confidence that his effort would, ultimately prove the correctnese of his new system of soll cul- | ture, but his means had become exhausted and his health in a measure fall grit of the Vermont Yankee d, still the as In his | blood and he determined not to give up, | though hic last reserve had been called into action and was melting away. Just at this juncture he met Mr. Pomeroy, who Is known all over the west to carry a big head, & big heart and a big pank account, and from the day these two worthles came together experiments in agriculture have been ns easy to make as playing checkers or payIng your bills when you have plenty of money to psy them with. Hest Wheat in Kansas. Mr. Pomeroy, In addition to earrying the burden of some milllons of weaith' in mines and other substantial assets, owns about 60,000 acres. of dried-up land In Graham county, Kansas. He recognized in Mr. Camp- bell the man and, the method of soll eulture that hé had been looking for for years. He wae an intelligent convert of Campbell's method at once and saw that this man would be able s00n to make those profitiess acres in Graham county fill fat granaries or sell them off In plats and farms at prices he had not dreamed of before. So “model farm'" was started out there on a #lope which had won historic fathe by crop failures, but which today, after less than two year's use of the Campbell method of cultivation, has become the handsomest spot in Kansas. The best wheat in the state can be seen there now, ripenidg and waving likc the awells of a golden sea; corn that Is the object of every Graham county farmer's admiration and envy is growing there and the young orchard of frult trees and the great variety of shade trees and shrubs to be seen on this place are a com- bination of evidence and proof which causes Mr. Pomeroy to congratulate himself that he held on {o those worthless Graham county lands that are soon to prove one of the best investments he ever made. Prof. Cai i has recently been hon- ored with the appointment by the National Industrial commission at Washington as the commission's expert agent to Investigate and report to the commission his findings and judgment upon the questlon of the un- productive nature of the western portions of Kansas, Nebraska and North and South Dakota on account of the lick ot molsture. He will do credit and honor to the office and his report on the subject will be an in- tereating paper, He ought ta {ssue’a publi- cation containgng a tahylation, of; and an account of ke many éxperimehts, together Wwith his findings and annel\ulnnl in this most nteresting and valuable field of study. It he shall be the discoverer of a new sys- tem of agriculture adapted to the millions of acres of -Uncle Sam's arld and now al- most worthless domaln, whereby a coming &reat population may find’prosperous homes there, he will deserve the highest respect and praise and the whole people will gladly Joln to do him honor.

HINTS FOR BOY EXHIBITORS Value of Having a Definite A Working to Attain It=Timely Su, stions. not effaced trom my memory the eagerness with which I looked for- ward to the county or state falr when a boy, and I'still have a keen Interest in the efforts of boys to fit up something or grow sométhing with which fo carry off some of the coveted prizes. Many a time I have walked ten miles with no other company than'a good Shorthorn calf or a yearling steer: to attend a county fair. Even yet I fancy that I can feel the thrills which 1 then, experienced whez a passerby would comment favorably on my companion. Then the suspense in the show ring before the judges gave their ducision—well I know there (8 never ‘another timie in life when one is suhjected to such great pressure. Then comes the puzzle tylng on the prize 80 everybody will see it. It seems to me that the keenest delight of the city, boy is nauseating compared with what the country lad feels. on his homeward journey, leading his pet calf or colt decorated with a first prize. On one occaslon my prize was $2 and the treasurer settled my account by &lving me a dollar bill and a silver dollar. After walking twenty miles through the heat and dust it seemed sacrilege to call the former a “bfll,” so It was there and then designated a “Willlam.” It was also clear ever after that why a silver dollar was sometimes called a “cart wheel.” It seemed as big as one then, and a hind wheel at that, But I started out to give some hints to live boys, not to speak about those who liyed thirty or forty years ago. One of the first things that should be done is to get a prize st of your falr and examine it care- fully., Theu take an inventory of what Is growipg in .the garden, on the farm or amopg the. stock. If there is a good colt or calf, or some lambs or hogs on the farm, ask permiesion to glve these a little extra feed untll fair time. Even though their pasture is good they will make good use of a fow pounds of grain every day. They should also be taught to lead or driv sample. Where grain is to be shown in the straw it is a good plan to cut when the grain 1s fu the milk condition, and place it under glass to bleach. One can easily con- struct a frame cheaply tnat will answer the purpose. If it is turned every day or two the straw will become a light golden color and will not shell out when handled Much may be done during the growing scason to help make good corn by way of cultivation. Where only a few ears are required for exhibition one should give special attention to a few dozen hills. The horse-hoe should be used very freely and even the handle-hoe should not be spared. The boys should remember that frequent shallow stirring of the surface will con- | serve molsture, favor the elaboration of plant food and the aeration of plant roots. I would even suggest that it might be a good plan to apply some liquid manure from the barnyard, as this contains much plant food in the form of nitrogen and potash The same applies to fleld roots and vege- tables. The former, especially should be fed liberally. During the growing season one cannot accomplish much by way of adding fertility unless it be applied in the form of liquld manure. It must be re- membered that an ample supply of water is very important to any of these hoe crops, and this is supplied to the plant by conserving what is already in the soll or by applying it to the soil by artifictal means, which, of course, is practical only | over small areas. However, {f the boys undertake this work they go in to succeed | and the suggestions offered may give the lads who read The Bes a little lift. Now, it any kindly disposed parent thinks that the carrying out of the suggestions offered will take more of the boys' time than it is worth, T wish to answer that all this time and skill spent on the rearing of good specimens of plants or animals will have a greater offect upon the boy than upon the subjects of his labor. It teaches him the importance of having definite alms, and having these, the neces- #ity for dolng good, hard work to attafn them. Are these not the ‘prime requisites of success in after lite in every field of action? JAMES ATKINSON. lowa Experiment Station, Ames, Ia. OF THE MODEL WORK DAIRY, Record of Milking Tests at the Pan- American Exposition. Three weeks have passed since the worlk commenced in the Model dairy at the Pan- American exposition at Buffalo, writes Wil- llam H. Caldwell to Hoard's Dalryman. Those in charge of it have had much to contend with. At first there was a delay tn securing the facilities for the dalry room. These have finally been put in place and DeWitt Goodrich of Wisconsin, Mr. Stone- house of the Guelph Agricultural college, Mr. Weldon of the Connecticut Agricultural college, Mr. Montague of Michigan and Mr. Van Wagenen of New York are Superin- tendent Van Alstyne's aids in conducting the technlcal part of the work. All the varlous herds have gradually set- tled down to their work cugh untll re- cently the Polled Jerseys have been lacking one and the Dutch Belted two of thelr five. The Jerseys, the first week, also had one dry cow. The following statement shows the rela- tive standing of the breeds for the first three weeks, up to May 21, in the amount of net profit in butter fats. The figures given show the net profit for each of the three weeks, as well as total for the period: ET H T PAYL Guernseys Ayrahires Holsteins. i 3B BR R pauameSe3S aamaS55 Polltd Jersey: Dutch Belted geermiiEaz| PR TS S¥3S533825 3 The records for total solids are not as yet posted beyond May 14, or the first two weeks. The value of the solids is obtained by multiplying the number of pounds pro- duced by 9 cents, the price established by the rules, and representing the price of milk in the New York market for the last five years.

The Guernseys have, from the beginning, taken a most creditable place. From the butter point of view, we note the Ayrshire, Holsteln and Jersey follow closely. From the milk standpoint, we find the Holstelns, Shorthorns and Red Polls are with them. The largest milking cow has been a Hol- stein, while a Guernsey has mado the grea est met profit. The fifty head of cattle make a very fine showing in the barn and will attract great attention all summer. The breeds are well represented and the general tidy appearance of the cattle reflects great credit to the herdsmen. —— STEPHENS GETS A DIPLOMA Well Known Nurseryman at Crete, Neb, Awarded a Medal for Fruit Exhibit at Py Exposition, The following letter, which s self-ex- planatory, will be of great interest to the horticulturists of Nebraska and the west: E.
