Send Exhibits to Spokane
The co operation of very farmer
in the Northwest is urged in making
ibe great exposition to be held in
Spokane Oct. 3 to 8, during the ses
sion of the Dry Farming Congress
and the week of the interstate Fair,
the largest and best exhibit of pro
ducts of the farms of the Inland Em
pire thai wen worked by dry farm
methods. This is to be a great ob
ject lesson to countless thousands
who will visit the exposition; it will
enthuse many to settle in this part
of the country and aid in its devel
opment; a means the bringing of
thousands and hundred of thousands
of dollars into this country, the in
crease in our country population, and
it inevitably follows that there comes
with the increase in population and
production of soil, better roads, bet
ter schools, better transportation fa
cilities and a more happy condition
generally.
if you want your pari of the coun
try to show up as it should you will
just simply have to do something
about it yourself. Write to the"sup
erintendent or exhibits, Dry Farming
Congress, Spokane, for a premium
list and for information as to prepar
ing an,l shipping exhibits, and gel
ready to •■. ad one of the best you can
gather at once. Don't wait for the
other fellow—he oftimes its lost in
the shuffle. There is $10,000 in cov
eted premiums offered by the Dry
Farming Congress and the Interstate
Pair, and you are entitled to a share
of this. You can make double exhib
its, competing for prizes at both
shows, it is time to get. bus- right
now. This state and this section of it
needs to be more extensively adver
tised and hero is the opportunity for
you to do your share..
And, bear in mind, that your at
tendance at the Dry Farming Con
gress will he of great ami lasting ben
efit to yourself.. This Congress is to
have a marked effect in the elimina
tion of the "crop failure" years by
teaching farmers how to handle their
land. The proper tilling and conser
vation of the soil moan that failure
is impossible in the Inland Empire,
and the work of the Congress will
en to overcome careless farming and
unscientific work.

Fall Plowing Helps
In an address delivered to farmers
at several of the towns v, at, I by
tho recent Northern Pacific farm
demonstration train, Prof. R. XV.
Thatcher used as an example two
sheaves of oats grown within a few
feet of each other but under entire
ly different conditions. The one was
a fine specimen of grain, standing
three feet tall and well matured, .be
other was only a tool and a half tall,
an I a very poor specimen of
grain. In comparing the two sheaves
of oats Prof. Thatcher said:
The field that the taller and well
developed specimen was selected from
was plowed last fall, the ground left
loose during the winter so as to ab
sorb the winter moisture, till early
|in the spring, every possible means
being taken to conserve the moisture.
The unprofitable field was not fall
plowed. Much of the winter precip
itation of .now and rain ran off,
leaving the ground depleted in
moisture as well as fertility*.
We heard much last spring about
the floods that occurred about the
first of March. Several of the towns
reported loss from floods of from
a half to one million dollars. This

was considered a tremendous loss to
the country. Gut it did not represent
a third of the real loss. The farms
needed the moisture for the crop that
is now developing and which in a
great many sections was not. supplied
with moisture. Of course the farming
people could not have entire pre-
vented the floods, but by observing
and practicing the methods of con
servation of moisture they could have
saved much of it, and lour inches of
water in the ground at this time of
year would mean a profitable crop
instead "of a crop failure to many of
the farmers.
Near Plaza we visited a farm, the
owner of which last fall plowed the
field up hill, lie explained that this
was to leave the land as rough <iud
open as possible to absorb the mois
ture. This crop Of forty-fold wheat is
now not suffering for want of mois
ture. It has not felt the effects of
the drouth and will make a profit
able crop. This year as never before
do the results of good farming and
careless farming show. We urge ev
ery farmer to fall plow as much as
possible. Do not follow tho plow with
a harrow, packer or any sort of pack
ing or surface working tool. Leave
the ground rough. It you work it
down in the fall it will wash badly
in the winter.
In several places along the road we
saw the Campbell dry farming sys
tem being used with great success,
unless the packer is used in the fall
on fall plowing. Do not do this. Use
; the packer on spring plowing. 11
the land is to be summer fallowed,
disc it early in the sprit Then late
in the summer you will find plenty
of moisture in the land for fall plow
ing. During this tour we have seen
, men plowing land which had not
been disced last spring, turning ov
er lumps of ground as large as a
man's head. We have seen others
plowing disced laud which wa3 turn
| Ing over mellow and moist. By giving
spring cultivate d and preserving the
mulch throughout the summer, i
keeping down all weeds, which use'
the moisture, by fall, when you come
to seed fall wheat, there will be suf
ficient moisture to bring the wheat'
' up. Last year I found that in one sec-j
i tion of Eastern Washington they had i
practically no rain between the last
of May ana the first of August, Yet
on a field which had been subject to
proper tillage during the summer,
there was an abundance of moisture
within three inches of the surface.
Fall wheat sown in it came up
promptly.
Dry land tanning is no other than
farming.in a district where it is ne
cessary to conserve all the moisture
which falls inter and summer, in
order to do this we must have the j
ground in a receptive condition. 1
mean in a loose, open condition,
which will allow the moisture to go
into the ground ami not run off.
in order to get the ground in a
loose, open condition in the fall our
policy would be to fall plow all the 1
ground desired for a crop the follow-j
ing year, If you fall plow use a
plow which does not turn the furrow
over flat, but one which lays it at an
angle with furrows over-lapping like
ihe shingles on the roof, with the:
loose end upward. When the mois
-110 tails, 11 goes into the ground
I aud we keep it. i
i i
In the early spring, as early as pos
sible, get out the disc, Get a loose,
open, friable surface over the soil.
A solid surface allows the evapora
tion and you lose more moisture
than would make a good crop.
In our tests at Pullman and at
some of the sub stations we have
found that fall plowing gives in the I
spring from 8 to 15 per cent more
moisture in the first three feel than
is secured by omitting the fall plow
ing. This means from an inch to an I
inch and a half of water, which I
sometimes spells the difference be
tween a good crop and a poor crop.
Form a mulch in the spring, for a
mule preserves moisture.
if it is not possible to plow the]
ground in the fall then we would say
get on it with the disc, Stir it up 1
somehow. Follow your spring 1 low - 1
ing by packing. We have plows with
packers attached , packers of the)
Campbell type being preferable. Do'
not wait a week to do this packing,
but do this immediately.
Do all this work that you find
possible on your land In the fall.
Cultivate early in the spring and get
a mulch 00 the surface if possible.
