DRY FARMERS
in SESSION

In the heart of the great treasure
laden West-at Billings, Mont, there
are assembled an aggregation of men
who have tackled the biggest task
which has vet been offered to man in
these broad United States. 1t is the
task of settling 200, 100000 acres of
semi-arid land, long considered
worthless or good only for grazing,
with people who will farm it, make it
produce magnificent crops and add
millions upon millions of dollars to
the present wealth Of this country.
Not only are these men attempting
and in their attempt they are
meeting with magnificent success-to
settle this vast area, but they are al
so doing their utmost to 50 educate
those who settle in these semi-arid
lands that all may succeed and none
go away failures.
This aggregation of men at this
meeting who will number thousands
are the disciples of dry farming,
something at which but yesterday
the world scoffed, but of which to-
day the whole of the great West and
the whole world sings only paeans OF
! praise. They are delegates and visit
ors to the fourth international dry
farming congress, an or9anlZafloI
which has done much during the past
few years of it's existence to exploit
the South and the West in an honest
and fair manner, and which has made
possible the exploitation by educat-
ing the people of the semiarid re-
gions as we'll as of the whole country
to recognize the value of brains an(
science in making up DEFICIENCIES o1
nature.
This congress promises to be one o
the most notable agricultural meet
ings ever held in the United States
Able agricultural authorities, some
of the best known experts i'll the ser
vice of the federal and state govern
ments and men who have made tn
study of soil culture a lifework, viii
appear on the programme.--Geo
j. SCHARSCHUG.
