Experiment Farm Proves to Be More In- structive than Had Been Anticipated. The First General Demonstration Creates Wide Interest. Tho gathering at the experiment farm last week Mas an event well calculated to encourage the promoters of that enterprise to renewed and continued effort. Hereafter they will have an additional incentive in the knowledge that tho people arc interested in their achievements and that their labors will bo net in vain. On the other hand the day's exhibition was a decided revelation lo many peoplo. Those who have confined their entire attention to the more expensive and certain methods of irrigation were somewhat surprised to find nearly if not quite as good crops on the dry lands with none of the expenses of irrigation. Fully three hundred people gathered at the farm to witness tho progress of the first year's work. At 11:40 a. m. Dr. Widtsoe mounted an open carriage and was driven by President J. W. Paxman over the entire farm, stopping to name the kind of grain on each plat and to explain tho depth and time of seeding, and the various conditions under which'tho grains were planted an cultivated. Dr. Widtsoe stated that the officers of the experiment station did not claim to know that anything could be grown on this soil; that the farm which is subdivided into 10) plats represented so many question marks, and that this year's work has resulted in tho answering by nature of at leart 160 questions of mankind. The doctor pointed with pride to tho glowing crops about the farm and said that while the experiment is yet in its infancy and the management has Labored under great disadvantages during its first year's work, the fact has been demonstrated that man can master nature and that fine thrifty crops can be grown on tho most unpromising foil when a knowledge of the natural tcicfcccs are applied in farm practice. In 'the coutmj of his lecture valuable bint were dropped on the formation and classification of froils with reference to their agricultural value; tho conditions of fertility and the circumstances that influence it, and methods by which the original soil fertility may be maintained. The constituents of plants, sources and action of tho various elements of plant food, the selection of crops for the particular soil, the valuo and the correct manner of summer fallowing, and tho habits and growth of tlni various farm crops were also discussed at considerable length and to the entire ' fa1i faction of all present. Dr. Widtsou expressed himself as being highly tlatfcd with the result of their first year's work at this pi ice, and as being especially pleased with the services of Stepbtn Unwell, their foreman at 1 these experiments and this years results in actual dry farming will without doubt result in great good to the community.
