DRY FARMING CONGRESS.

Under the provisions of the call for the
Dry Farming Congress, to be held in
Cheyenne the latter part of February, this
country is entitled to send thirty two dele
gates ten to be appointed by the county
3mmissioners, ten by each Of the mayors
Of Montpelier and Paris and two by the
Montpelier Chamber of Commerce. While
it is not likely that that number will attend
from this county, yet there should be
good representation at the congress from
Bear Lake.
If there are any farmers in the county
who wish to attend the congress they
should not hesitate to make it known to
those who have authority to appoint dele
gates. The subject Of dry farming is Of
vital Importance to the great intermoun-
tain region and there is yet much to be
learned regarding the method of handling
the soil for this class Of farming. The
knowledge that hassalready been obtained
at these congresses regarding dry farming
has been a vast benefit to the west. but
YOU might say that the soil has only just
been scratched over" There is no better
way to obtain practical information on this
subject than by attending the session Of
the dry farm congress.
