FREMONT REPRESENTED
AT DRY FARM CONGRESS-

/ had the honor of attending last
week a convention held in the City OF
Denver, and that in my belief, was one
of the most important agricultural
gatherings ever held in the United
States; and l am writing this letter
to you for publication, simply because
l feel your subscribers ought to know
about it. / refer to the Trans-Missouri
Dry Farming Congress, whose session
was held in Denver on January Gath,
25th and 26th. 1t was the only con-
vention ever held in which the dele
gates refused to go home. The man
agement had planned for two day
convention, but when the end of the
second day came it was found that the
people who were in attendance were
anxious to learn still more about the
in the west, and so they held another
session lasting all day Saturday, which
was devoted entirely to question and
answer, such men as Prof. H. w.
OdlupDeIl DeluS Ou Lue Sldnu ali udy =
The convention brought out several
things, which l believe will be of in
terest to the readers of your paper.
The most important of them all was
the fact that the Campbell system or
dry farming" or scientific farming,
as it is variously called, is no longer
an experiment but an actual proven
fact. One man, George L. Ferrill OF
Logan, Utah, has good crops by the
scientific farming system for Al years,
and in all that time he has never had
a real crop failure. Mr.. Ferrlll told
US that the rainfall in sections of Utah
is less than 10 inches per year. There
were hundreds of plain farmers like
myself in attendance at the conven-
ton, and every one of them had some
thing to say with regard to the re-
suits which he had achieved by dry
farming" and the reports were all
favorable, not only as to the crops OF
the last few years, but as to their
methods for 10 and 20 years past

Cañon City record., 1907-02-14

More than one thousand people were
in attendance at this convention, most
of them being farmers, though there
were representatives from every ag-
ricultural college in the west, and
from the agricultural department at
Washington. The practical men who
were on the program indicated two
things: First, thorough cultivation as
laid down by Prof. Campbell, and Sc
cond, the selection and use of seeds
that have been grown under dry
land" conditions and therefore espec-
tally suitable for growth without irri-
cation. Not only the experts but the
farmers themselves testify that If
these two things are cared for. there
will be few failures among the dry
farmers" of the west .
1t was decided to hold a meeting
once a year, and the next meeting will
be held at Salt Lake City, Utah. A
permanent organization was formed at
the convention which will at once be-
gin work that Will extend throughout
the west and southwest, and it is ex-
pected TO result in great things for the
settlement and prosperity of the un-
irrigated LANDS of the west.
| now believe the time has come for
every man aAd woman that has not
already used their land rights to get a
move on same and find agood 160 or
800 acre of un-irrigated land and To-
cate it and get their title from Uncle
Sam and put it away and they will
surely wake up some morning and find
that scientific farming has made their
land valuable.
