missouri Dry Farming congress, which
closed it's second convention Saturday,
will never again be classed among the
minor congresses is conceded by all
who have watched the daily increase
in attendance, interest and enthusiasm.

tendance, and when the congress
makes it's bow to Cheyenne, Wyo., a
year hence, there will be still more.

Colorado for Gold.

One hears a good deal more talk
about Alaska than about Colorado, but
the figures show that Colorado heads
the list for gold output. The produc-
,tion in that state for 1907 is placed at
$40, S8S, 1913, as compared with $1S,251,-
6lO in Alaska, while California is a
close third with $17,S94,S63. Nevada,
now a center of interest on account
of the miners strike at Goldheld,
ranks fourth, with $14,704,65S.
Another feature of the report is that
there was a reduction in the gold out
put of both Alaska and Colorado as
compared with 1906, Aiaska's decrease
being a little over 100000 and that
of Colorado about 100000. On the
other baud, Nevada is increasing in
production. In 1906 the Nevada mines
yielded sIO,47O,7O4, an increase of IS,
2OO, 1856 over 1905, while the yield fol
1907 was $4,233,954 over that of 1906
