The Importance OF dry farming to
the west and I'd U;,S and Nevada is
Il Tact which has impressed itself on
The minds of almost every one who
iias viewed the immense tracts of
country in the inter mountain and
prairie states now given over almost
exclusively to grazing. 1t is realized
that the rapid increase in population
of the country must mean the utiliza-
ion of this land to provide food and
occupation for more people than 1t
can by any possibility under the pres
ent conditions. For this reason 1t is
believed that the attendance at the
congress to be held in Salt Lake next
week will be large-that it will in
clude all farmers and others in the
territory tributary to Salt Lake who
can by any possibility get there; and
also the leaders in agricultural oc-
equations throughout the dry farm
30
cial rates to the congress are being
al ranged with the railroads. so that
the meeting of next week will be
within reach of more people than 1t
otherwise would.
