A Show of The West.

Realizing the benefits Of a mid
winter educational show of west
ern agricultural products, Ne
braSkans will not let the Nation
al Corn Show idea die out, but
now proIcSc to replace it with
an exhibit of all the farm and or
chard products of the west.
Limited as it is to the exhibits
e states west of the Missouri
river, such a show is aimed to bet
ter serve the purpose of boosting
the western country by giving
graphic lesson under one roof Of
the possibilities of the lands be-
tween the river and the Sierra
NevadaS.
The idea of the promoters of
this latest western enterprise is
to bring together such honest rep
resentativo exhibits from western
states and districts as will give
visitor a clear idea of what is
possible on western lands without
necessity of travelling thousands
of miles to see irrigation projects
new farm lands, dry farming re-
gions and old and well develop
ed farms in Nebraska, South Da-
kota and Kansas.
The Western Land Products
exhibit will be sort of a panor-
anna of the country west of the
Missouri river with such displays
Of products as will give anyone
an intelligent idea of each sec
ton of the country where farm
ring or fruit growing is the prin-
cipal industry. Does a farmer or
investor want to know Nebraska
without travelling over the stateY
Look at the Nebraska exhibit.
lnquirers about a certain valley
in Idaho or the products of the
great Salt Lake basin, may be an
swered by visiting the exhibits
brought together for this honest
purpose.
The Western Land Products
exhibit will be held in Omaha,
Jan. 19 to % in the Auditorium,
which has 10000 square feet of
exhibit space.
When you attend the big show
in Omaha this winter don t for
get to mention to the people you
meet that Custer county is in the
central part of Nebraska and in
one Of the best corn and alfalfa
districts in the United States and
if you meet a prospective settler
invite him to Custer county and
locate him here if you can.
