WESTERN METHODS SECRETARY WILSON'S OPINION TO BE DISCUSSED AT BILLINGS Cabinet Member Deply Interested In Dry Farming Billings, Mont., Oct. 13—(Spe- cial)—Secretary James Wilson of the department of agriculture has shown a deep interest in the pro- gress of dry farming in the west and has devoted considerable at- tention to it in his report publish- ed in the Yearbook of the depart- ment, but lie lakes issue with many of the exponents of certain system of so-called dry farming, au likely that his expression of on the detail's wherein lie differs from the western experts will precipitate animated discus- sion at the Fourth Dry Farming Congress at Billings, Montana, Outober 26-218. Secretary Wilson was invited to attend the coming Congress, but in a letter to Governor Nofris of Montana, president of the Dry Farming Congress, has expressed his regret that he will be unable to be present in person. How- ever, he will send a message to the Congress to besread at the osiening session. An idea of his position regarding certain details of dry farming methods is given in his ,letter teGovernor Norris, in, which Secretary Wilsotr\says: \I have just returned from ft month's visit to the mountain states where we have numerous dry farmingoxperiinents going on. I !wive been visiting th a ern. It is one of the most prominent and in- teresting studies of this time. We know what is wanting to some ex- tent and are close students of the conditions in the light rainfall districts of the west. We began some years ago getting plants from dry lands in foreign countriss, where they have severe winters, that would be suitable for our conditions west of the 100th meridian and are having success. re have hardy alfalfa brought last year from Siberia: also clovers and other plants., That is one thing that has to be done, and another thing that needs careful study is the dry farming countries where very gross errors are being made and some very questionable methods are being pursued, that—is, they plow two years for one crop, the plan being that the precipitation of two seasons will be grouped toward the growing of one good crop. This will succeed for a number of years, but it cannot succeed per- manently. Tluit is why this department has been scouring the world for plants that will grow and put organic matter in the soil during the year that is now occu- pied in fallowing. 1 have been a close student of this practice dur- ing my recent visit in the west. \1 would be delighted to be pre- sent with you and discuss these matters, but really . 1 have to dir- ect the ,movements of so many scientists here and in ninny differ- ent parts of the country and in so many varied lines of enterprise, that it is rarely that 1 can leave my dick. What time I could spare this summer has been given more to the study of dry farming than anything else. I know we will eventually solve these prob- lems, but it requires the ability of the best men we have to do it, and it requires Mural money to pay . these men. It also requires looking over habitable globe where it is hot in the summer and very cold in the winter to get plants suitable, This we are doing. I would beentertained by meeting your people and discussing these mattera,with them, but, my dear governor, I cannot get away, very much to my regret. Wishing you a profitable and enjoyable meeting, I remain, \Very cordially, JAMES IV I I.SON . \Secretary.\ EQUAL SUFFRAGE Governor Vessey Invites Mrs. Baker to Address State Federated Clubs Spokane, Wash., Oct 9. --Mrs. Helen La Reine Baker, the richest women in eastern Washington, first vice president of the Spokane Equal Suffrage club, one of the founders of the College Equal Suffrage club, delegate from the Northwest to the international convention in London, Eng., lust spring, and champion of militant methods: has been accorded an unique honor by Governor R. S. Vessey of South Dakota. This is an invitation to discuss equal suffrage before members of the state federated clubs at Pierre the middle of this month, when she will be the guest ot Governor and Mrs. Vessey at the executive man- sion. Mrs. Baker will leave Spokane on October 12 for Sturgis, S. D.. where Mrs. Lydia Johnson. presi- dent of the South Dakota 1V omen'a Federated clubs and State Equal Suffrage association, irs a r ra n Red a Meeting. From there the party will go to the goterdor's mansion in Pierre. Mrs. Baker will also address several puplic gatherings while at the capital-. Afterwards, Mrs. Baker, ac- companied by Mrs. Johnson, will visit other cities in South Dakota, making addresses on equal suff- rage and stai tine work in the campaign for the optional vote which is to be taken in South Dakota at the same time the question is submitted in Washing- ton next year. As a guest of Sarah Platt Deck• er of Denver, Mrs. Baker will study the precinct system in Colo- rado, the unit of organization to which is attributed the greatest success of the suffrage movement and upon her return in November Mrs. Baker will begin active work with the local College club, which purposes to make a state-wide campaign to win the battle for the ballot. WATER CASE DECIDED Judge Cheadle's Decision Based on What is Necessary to? Irrigating Bozeman. Oct. 8—The biggest water suit ever tried in this or any other country was completed yes- terday afternoon with the signing of the final decree by Judge E. K. Cheadle of Lewistown. The cause of the adios, was the adjustment of claims td\ water rights on the West Gallatin river and its tribu- taries. There were about 395 parties to the action, 75 on the plaintiff side and the remainiag 320 as defendants. Of this num- ber there were 30 corporations with un average of about 80 mem- bers, and one, the West Gallatin Irrigation company, composed about 75 stockholders. About 1,600 rights were involved in the case. A conservative estimate places the value of property depending upon this stream for irrigating water at $8,000.000. The earliest right is dated May 1, 1865, and from that down to the beginning of the case. The apportionment by Judge Cheadle has been on the basis of what was really necessary for irrigating the land and it is thought that there is more water during the summer months than has been decreed. General satisfaction by those concerned in the case is heard on all sides and no appeal has as yet been mentioned and .pone is probable. Land Drawing at Valier Valim Oct. 8—The opening to settlement here yesterday of 70,000 acres of irrigated hinds re- claimed under the provisions of the Carey act, proved an un- qualified success from every view point, it being estimated at the close of the offices last eyening that praotically one-half or the immense tract has been disposed of to newcomers—persons • who will immediately proceed with its tilling. Governor Edwin L. Norris, Secretary of State A. N. Yt.ider and State Engineer J. IV. Wade were present at the opening and made brief addresses, as did several local persons. The open- ing was conducted under the so- called government system, and an Illinois man secured the first selection. Despite the fact that Valier is a town of only a few months, ample accommodations were arranged for the convenience of all. The Montana Western railway, which connects Valier chi' the main line of the Great Northern ut Conrad, handled the crowds in splendid shape, while numerous automobiles were also pressed into service. The Fames! Caul More than sixty years ago Henry Ward Beecher, the great pulpit orator, gave voice to the following farmer's creed, which possesses lasting qualities: \We believe in small farms and thorough cultivation. \We believe that soil loves to Cat as well as its owner, and ought therefore to be liberally fed. \We believe in large crops which leave the land better than they found it—making the farmer and the farm both glad at once. \We believe in going to the bottom of things, and, therefore in deep plowing and enough of it. All the better with a subsoil plow. \We believe that every farm should own a good farmer. \We believe that the best fel ti - liner for any soil is a spirit of industry, enterprise and intelli• gene*. Without this, lime and gypsum, bones and green manure marl and guano, Will he of littie ii '.O, \Wo believe, in good fences. good barns, good farmhouses, good stock, good qtcharda, iind children enotigh to gather the fruit. \We believe in a clean kitchen, a neat wife in it, it spinning wheel, clean. cupboard, a clean dairy and a clean conscience. 'We firmly disbelieve in farm- ers that will not improve; in fsrms that grow poorer every yea'ils in starving cattle; in farinera'• boys turtling into clerks and merchants; in . farmers' datightera unwilling to work, and in all fartnee asham- ed of their vocation, or who drink whiskey until honest people are ashamed of them.\—Ex. flarriman's Successor New York, Oct. 13.—John VVaterburg of this city was elkt- ed a director of the Pacific- Coast company at the annual meeting of the stockholders in Jersey City today to succeed E.
