short address to the writers he said, in
part:
Wyoming was never in a better con-
dition man it is today. The recent cen
sus shows a per capita of $127 for man.,
woman and child. Wyoming has never
experienced a boom. Its growth has
been steady and its institutions per-
manent. wyoming has been, and is to-
day, II of the greatest cattle-produc-
ing states in the country; but, gentle
men, cattle raising is fast giving away
to the agriculturist, N the state has
within the past six years more than
doubled its output from the farm, n
with the reclamation of the so-called
arid land which the government pro-
poses to throw open in the Shoshone
reservation next June, Wyoming Will
at once take it's place alongside the
four intermountain states in the mat
ter of agriculture. There was a time
when the cattlemen fought the farmer,
but that is all changed and now many
of the hitherto big ranchmen are con-
verting their lands into farms.
Fifteen hundred miles of new rail
road will be built in Wyoming the COM
