DRY FARMING CONVERTS.

The Thermopolis Record of Wyo-
ming, says of the progress of dry
farming In that state
Dry farming was, until few years
ago, considered myth as applied to
the semi-arid region, but in many
places 1t has proved highly successful.
1t will not take the place of irriga-
ton where irrigation can be applied,
but 1t will make much land valuable
that otherwise would be simply waste.
We have often contended and still
contend that there is much land near
ThermopolIs, especially along the
foothills, where summer storms are
prevalent, that will at no very far off
day be sown to grain. Intensified
cultivation, among lines that have
proved successful elsewhere, will
bring about this result.
The Dry Farming congress that
was recently in session at Salt Lake
did much to advance this method OF
agriculture. It also did honor to
Governor Brooks by electing him
unanimously to the presidency Of the
association. The next meeting will
be held at Cheyenne In January,
