DRY FARMING
congress MEET
NEXT CONGRESS TO DISCUSS ITS
SCIENTIFIC PRINCIPLES WILL
MEET AT CHEYENNE-GREAT
SUCCESSES SHOWN.

Cheyenne, Wyo., Nov. 3-With the
| organization CT the board of control
OF the Trans Missouri Dry Farming
congress this mont hthere is started
most important work in the de-
velopment CT the wess. A few years
ago so-called dry farming began
to attract attention in many sections
of the arid states. Many farmers
had been operating in sections where
rainfall was slight and irriga ion i'm !.
pc ssible and had been securing splen-
did results We're but the outcome of
temporary conditions such as excess
sive rainfall and cleverIy manipulate
ed small tracts, and that no real val
ne or significance attached to these
is la ed instances.
Meantime Prof. II. NJ Campbell of
Nebraska had been conducting ser
les of experiments along scientific
lines and had succeeded in making
tests of a rather severe character and
getting crops that proved something
tangible in the way of demnnstra i've
argument, giving strength tosthe OPP
'timistic claims made by hopeful land
agents, These results became known
to ]. P. Pomeroy of Colorado Springs
who owned several thousand acres Of
western Kansas land and Prof
Campbell was quickly installed upon
an experiment tal farm at Hill City,
Kansas The demonstrations of the
first three years produced results
that fixed the status of dry farm
ing and forced the price of unirri-
gated lands upward year by year.
General Manager Holdredge of the
Burlington railway was among those
who early saw the possibilities and
he soon established experimental sta
tons along his line. The Santa Fee
railway and other transportation
companies followed quickly and
states and communities began to
making careful tests of operative
condi lions. Government stations
were established and the machinery
OF eXperimentatitn was set at work
in manv states and territories. Great
good followed all tn effort. but in
some instances it was found that i'm
migration agents were rushing
homesteaders and land buyers upon
the arid plains regardless of soil
conditions or financial ability to
play the role CT pioneer.
Colorado enthus'a lasts who had
watched the worthless lands of the
eastern plains take on unmistagable
values and the cactus and sage brush
give way to waving grain fields saw
the necessity CT organizing an edu-
oational propaganda by which the
thousands of new settlers might be
protected from failure and through
which the world at large might be
educated as to the actual conditions
under which so-called dry farming
can be made successful
