Holdrege Neb is convinced that drouths can be conquered and the semi arid districts of Kansas Nebraska and the Dakotas be converted into a garden of plenty by the adoption of a system of cultivation which he has evolved through years of trial Mr Campbell was at the Windsor hotel last night and this afternoon on his way home after having come to Colorado to confer with J P Pomeroy by whom he is at present employed in extensive ex perimental work During the early Sos Mr Campbell was located in South Dakota where he engaged extensively in wheat raising In 1881 1882 crops of winter wheat yield ing forty bushels to the acre were har vested and a price of t a bushel received for the product With land at 2 50 per acre the expansion principle found emu lation and wheat farms of thousands of acres became ordinary Then in 18S3 came the first of a series of dry years Mr Campbell conceived the notion that if the surface of the cultivated ground be kept loose and mellow and the sub doil firmly packed the rainfall would be caught and conserved by the soil for future energy of plant life His theory was only partially formed then but its application in keeping the sur face well cultivated resulted in crops far superior to these grown by his neighbors It was not until 1892 that he sufficient ly mastered his theory in practice to declare emphatically that drouth could be easily conquered In 1894 he har vested a crop of potatoes yielding 142 bushels per acre on thirty two acres while his neighbors did not even find their potatoes worth digging The Union Pacific and Burlington railroad officials heard of the phenomenal yield and sent for him They were impressed with his earnestness and he was em ployed to take charge of experimental workalong the lines of these railroads In 1896 twelve stations were established being conducted by persons who volun teered to farm a certain area of land in a specified kind of crop under the personal direction of Mr Campbell Twelve at tempted to comply with their contracts through the season and two succeeded one at Lisbon N D and the other in Cheyenne county Kans The following year the number was increased to forty two stations and three succeeded J P Pomeroy became interested in the reports received from Mr Campbell and a year ago lost spring employed him to take charge of an experimental farm near Hill City Graham county Kansas The contract is for the opera tion of an experimental farm to be con tinued for seven years Briefly outlined the plan upon which the work is carried forward is to culti vate the soil in preparing for the seeding to a depth of seven inches Then a subsoil packer an implement specially designed for the purpose is used to further loosen and pulverize the ground The seed is planted in the usual way and cultivation is continued until the crop is made The ground is gone over with either plows cultivators or harrows at least once in ten days and being kept loose at the top does not bake or crust the soil even under such dry weather as was felt last month Denver Times Pikes Peak Ascended by Mobile The Denver Daily Evening Times of Tuesday August 13th announces the ascension of the famous Pikes Peak by a steam locomobile a hitherto unequalled performance which has added local in terest here from the fact that Charles A Yont formerly assistant teacher in the McCook High school was one of the two occupants of the steam wagon which arrived at the summit at three in the afternoon Monday August 12th W B Felker was the other man Pikes Peak has at last been mounted for the first time by a locomobile For the first time in the history of this great and famous landmark the achievement of Zebulon Pike in toiling painfully up the summit and christening it has been overshadowed by a horseless wagon This feat of W B Felker and C A Yont Las opened up possibilities in transportation and travel such as are difficult to grasp in detail The old reliable cogroad may be crowded out of business by a competing line of locomobiles and the glory of walking up the peak will be completely destroyed Tjy the greater novelty of go ing up in a horseless carriage The trip from Denver to Cascade via Monument Colorado Springs and Man itou a distance of eighty seven miles in twelve hours and a half was without pre cedent but the ascent of the peak yester day was an achievement which is not likely to be equalled soon CITY CHURCH ANNOUNCEMENTS Congregational Sunday school at 10 am No morning or evening service W J Turner Pastor Methodist Sunday school 10 a in Junior League at 4 p m
