Washington P Howard, Elliot Booster Spokane, Aug. 27.—Howard Elliott, president of the Northern Pacific Railway company, now making a tour of the northwest. is an active and consistent \boost- er\ for the Fourth Dry Farming Congress at Billings, Mont., Oct- ober 26 to 28 He believes that meetings of this character and scope, where many men of many minds come together, do much to direct the latent potter of this country in a reasonable and wise manner and with consideration for all interests. While in Spokane the other day he said among other things: \The so called \dry farming\ movement is co-ordinate with the one the National Irrigation Con - gress represents. When every acre has been irrigated that can be. there will remain niillions of acres in the so called arid regions capa- ble of producing grain, grasses and roots in profitable amounts, if proper methods are followed. \If anyone had said a few years ago that a crop of nearly forty bushels to the acre of winter wheat would be produced on lands in eastern Montana without irriga- tion, his trinity would have been doubted, yet the actual average yield, carefully measured at the four demonstration farms being operated jointly by the state of Montana and the Northern -Pacific Railway company, for the last four years was 37.71 bushels of winter wheat an \These results were obtained on small farm units where close attention could be given to every detail, and as large returns as this might not be obtained where the farming was carried on on a very large scale. There is, however. no doubt but that millions of acres now used only for grazing can be made to produce grains to profitable extent by exercising care and intelligence and by hard work. \The example set by those in- terested in the development of irrigation, in holding annual con- vention to advance their cause is now being followed by those in- terested in the so-called dry farm- ing, who will hold their annual convention at Billings in October. \This Northwest of ours is just beginning to realize its great pow- er and future. It is like a strong, brave and beautiful young man awakeninglo an understanding of his physical and mental powers and entering upon a career of hard work and noble achievement. \The work now going on to reclaim the arid lands, drain the swamp lands, conserve the soil, preserve and renew the for eats, use for agricultural purposes dry lands Pormerly thought to be useful only for grazing. are all steps in the forward progress of the United Stated in preparing to supply food, wood and homes for population five times what we now have. They are also steps in increasing the number of those who live near the soil and nature —freeholders, who, in the long run, will save the republic from the complications that sooner or later are sure to arise in the con- gested cities where living condi- tions are becoming too hard to bear.\ Mr. Elliott has accepted the presidency of the National Apple Show, which will have its second exhibition in Spokane, November 15 to 20, when it is expected that growers from various parts of Montana will enter exhibits in the various classes in open -to -all com- petitions for cash and other pre- miums of an aggregate value of $25,000. Messrs. Kress 4.g-, Carey of the Bitter Root country, car- ried off the third prize of $250 with a car of McIntosh Reds at the show last ybar. Getting the Tine Soil Mulch The principle of shallow culti- vation is one of the most unscien- fic ideas now commonly practiced by the so-called dry farmer. It is one of the ideas that has been handed down from more ancient investigators and Was undoubtedly the result of the frequent harrow- ing which really brought results in the more humid sections and in tome seasons in the more arid regions. But when the humidity runs low and the temperature rune high, the shallow, line mulch will not serve the purpose. On the average field in the more hum- id sections where the temperature runs high there should bi not less than three inches of loose soil mulch—not dust — and this is es- pecially true on sunmier tilled fields. fake a field under culti- vation and after a heavy rain which has dissolved the soil par- ticles at the surface so that they have settled down into a compact mass at the surface, and to protect that field from the dangerous loss of the water, it is necessary that at least two inches of the surface of the soil, ors 2 inch upper layer. must he loosen with some tool that will break . it into lumps 'of the size of a small shot to the—a walnut. This done and you have a true soil much about three inches deep. a mulch that will protect the mois- ture in the soil below fo‘a consid- erable length of time with little or no loss. The stirring of the soil when it is moist with the right tool. a ill work it into small lumps of vari- ous sizes that soon become dry and will stand considerable addi- tional stirring before they become broken into dust. With the large grains and larger pores it is almost impossible for the moisture to rise even slightly by . capillary attraction, conse- quently if the loss by evaporation can be reduced to the minimum there will be no crust formed at the top of the firm soil .for even ten days or two weeks of extreme heat.—H. W.Cnmpbell, Lincoln, Nebr. A Splendid Asset A manly young man is a splen- did asset in a community. A bright, open countenance, a win- ning smile of confidence, an agi•ee- able presence, it word of kindly greeting to the old and a • happy fellowship with the young helps brighten the normal condition of business and social life. Manly young mem are few and fur be- tneen. The rushing times, the demands of business, the fear of wasting moments, too often pre- clude the boy growing to manhood engaging in a study of how to make himself manly. It is easy however, for the boy to become manly if he has a good mother and will listen 4R: her teachings. Often it is that the boy must learn by bitter experience what the mother has tried to teach him by her side. It takes courag3 to be- come a manly man in these days— a higher type of courage than is found in the average boy of today. One of the stern duties of a father and one of the faithful duties of ever,v mother is to teach the boy to be a manly man, not a namby- pamby, Simpering youth, but there should be drilled into him all the traits which go to !Mike ul a broad gtiaged, cheerful, ener getic, cultured fellow. It i s at heritage that should cleave to him, an heritage that will become price- less in these dayssof rushing, speeding ambition, when we are too prone to forget the amenities which often Cause US to stop and wonder when we meetone who truly has the attributes of a manly young man.—Forsyth Times. Poetry, Prose and Truth \If I should die, and at my death some friend should come and stand abNe—sitAid whimper with hid sobbing breath how very much he's come to love— if he should weep and wring his hand. and wail tlail I had acted feirly— should say that ever from the stands he boosted me for doing squarely; if he should say that I was right in trit ing out some close decisions against the home team in a ht nit rt he had never curs- ed my vision; if he should whisper in his 14614, \Old boy, I know that you were straight—I never called you it lopeared thief nor swore you were a pirate's mate; I never clamored for a rope when your decisions looked quite sickly; nor have I yet expressed the hope you'd go where snowballs vanish qnickly; I cheered you each time you acted well, as tho you were a humeri being—no duly gave von merry h— for accidents be- yond my seeing; I always thought you did your best, and so no side advice I proffered—I think you fairly met the test whenever the occasion off -red. If these were but the words he said. I'd rise up in my cravat —it were not enough to wake the dead to get it sudden shock like that— I'd rise up in my coat ot-white and look around A hit, and then, if I found that I'd heard aright, I'd drop back dead again.\— Grantland Rice. leached North ?le The Associated Press gives out the news from Copenhagen. Sept. 1st, that Dr. Cook the American explorer, discovered the North Pole on April 21, 1908. Dr. Cook started on the expedition in the summer of 1907, and this is the first news from him in 18 months. At present a relief ship the Jeanette, is on its way to the frozen north in search of Dr. Cook, and while there is some doubt expressed as to the truth of the story of his finding the pole, it is assorted that he is safe on board a Danish government steam- er and will arrive at Copenhagen' Saturday.

College Men Much credit must be given to the college man as • leader in the procession of fashionable dressers. He's bright and youth- ful and wants to show it in the clothes he wears. His ideas have been admirably interpreted by Strauss Brothers, Master Tailors, Chicago. In both fabrics and fashions, they show many creations that make for the originality sought by the college man. You may not number yourself with the \college boys\ but that's no reason why you shouldn't enjoy the college spirit in your clothes.

And told her what to do, • 4 1ie took his advice, And got his ideas, too. Then she tilled her farm On the scientific plan And grew crops of wheat As big AS any man. lieu neighbors said it was a fake, But Mary acted sane, And continued to grow Enormous crops of grain.
