The 320 Dry Farm and the 640 Homestead.
The 320-aere ‘‘dry farm” act him accomplished much for the west
and it is slowly takiug up isolated suctions, where it is impractical to
irrigation. Dry farming is paying and as the years advance and sci
ence adds new fuel to the store house of the present knowledge dry
farming will take up all the dry land of the west and make it bloom
Many scoff at dry farming paying but it, like every other new feature,
must work out its own destiny. We see no reason why this should
not work out successful the same as irrigation and many other land
cultivations.
The 640 acre grazing homestead, when it becomes a law—if it
ever does—will be the final solution of putting the west under pat
ient. It will work in conjunction with the 320-acre “dry farm” and
the results will be wonderful. This, of course, must take place be
fore any more adverse legislation is passed, such as the proposed
leasing bills Uncle Sam must be stayed from selection of grasing
lauds aud the states must be stopped from making selection for lease
or sale or segregation. That seems like a Uopeless case but it may
come true. What we need more than anything else is some sane leg
islation on slate selection for any purpose, without complying with
the law the same as the settler. We have noticed this matter of state
selections being discussed by some of the state papers aud it is in
deed one of the vital matters of this or any other western state, and
the sooner we stay this kind of matter and stick to the 320 acre dry
farm, the desert law and the 640 homestead law, just that much soon
er will the west actually get some real benefit. Instead of one acre
in a thousand paying taxes aud producing, there will be fifty per cent
of the laud doing something, besides carrying its share of the taxes.
Too Good to Live.
He never smoked; be never drank;
He never Baid “How dry I am!”
The filthy weed be thought was
rank;
He never need the cuss word *!*!*
He came home early every night,
Os thia fact I am positive—
And on bis tombstone one might
write:
Alas, He Was Too Good to Live.
A model man in all respects,
He even went to Sunday School;
Quite free was he from all defects;
He’d never beard of Kelly pool;
His hard-earned salary each week
To Friend Wife he would always
give,
Aud those who would bis tomb
stone seek
Might read: “He Was Too Good
to Live!”
He paid subscriptions in advance;
H - never knocked his native town;
H wielded no reformer’s lance;
H<* never s »ughi f>r cheap re
nown;
If you but pleased him, he would
write
And tell him how much joy you
give
(Not many persons so polite)
Alas, He Was Too Good to Live!
