Laughs at All Drouths
H W Campbell of 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
