 Looking Forward

For the first time in the history of America, a general movement has been inaugurated looking toward the rapid development of the dry land sec- tions of the west Acting on the sug- gestion of many of Colorado's busi- ness men, Governor Mcdonald of that state hes called the Trans-Mi.souri Dry Farmiug Congress" to meet in Denver on the 24,h and 25th of this month. The call has been sent to every state west of the Missouri river, and assurances have already been re- ceiyed that delegates will come, with state sanction, from practically all oi the sixteen commonwealths included Tn the call
 The importance of this movement cannot be overest'mated. Nine acres of farm land out of every ten in the whole country vest oi the 9S merid- ian can neyer be irrigated, and, be- cause of the slight rainfall, most oi this great territory must look for its redemption entirely to some method oi scientific agriculture. Within the last decade the spread of the so called Campbell system, mere commonly known as "dry farming has con- yinced the thinking men of the coun' try that in some such method ss thi: lies the agricultural salvation of the west, and it Is now proposed to star broad, unprejudiced movement, II which every state affected shall tak' part, to further develop these soil cul ture systems and bring them to tn, attention of the world at large,
