In an excellent address in assembly
today DR.. Nelson treated The Agricul-
tural Possibilities and Opportunities
of Our State" He touched very ex-
tensively upon the very recent devel-
opment of the agricultural interests OF
the state. He said hal there
several reasons why Wyoming had
been known as a country OF cattle and
coyotes. among which was the fact
that the Union Pacific railroad lay
through the most arid regions OF the
state. Bill Nye, also, in his satirical
comments upon the climate and soil of
the state gave a widespread impress
sion of unproductiveness which was
not completely overcome by twenty
years of progress. Now, however,
Wyoming Is coming to the front among
the agricultural states OF the west,
and the cattle and sheep industries,
which yield enormous fortunes to the
few, are rapidly giving way to farm
ing, "htCu ouppiiSS dNVidSC pIooPCIil
for the many. And hand In hand with
the industry goes the increase in the
demand for agricultural and h~orticui-
tural experts, particularly those who
have been trained in Wyoming, and
know the needs and the possibilities
of this state in particular. Such is
the opportunity that presents itself to
the young men who stay within the
bounds of their own state to receive
their training.
