Good Soil and

Western Boast
Prominent Farmer from Wyoming
Tells Of the Change from Cat
tie Baron Days.

The fertility Of the soil and the beauty
Of the climate Of Wyoming was a topic
freely discussed by r. /. Perry, a promi
nent resident Of that section Of the coun-
try. Mr.. Perry was found at the Mer-
chants hotel and proved to be an enthusi-
asuc booster for Wyoming. He has been
a resident OF Cokeville. a town In what Is
known as the Bear river country in the
southwestern part of the state for over
seventeen years and during his long resi-
dence there has become familiar with its
every natural resource
Mr. Perry talked entertainingly Of the
day when the cattle baron reigned SUI
premc in the great west and then Of the
coming OF the sheep man and finally Of
the advent Of the homesteader and small
farmer. In answer to question as 10
the ability OF a farmer to gain living in
what is supposed by a great many eastern
people TO be an arid country, Mr.. Perry
stated that he would concede to no coun-
/ try a better opportunity for the small
farmer than western Wyoming.
During my seventeen years Of residence
In that country we have had fourteen
prosperous ones. and the others have not
been so bad but what we could get along
and l guess that Is as good as you will
| find in the average country" said Mr.
| Perry.
I'VE raise two crops OF good alfalfa
each year. but to do this we have to irri
gate, but our other grains, wheat, oats
and barley, we raise by dry farming meth
DDS, and the average yield to the acre
| compares favorably with that OF a great
part OF the large agricultural districts OF
| the country. Not only do the dry farms
! bring d good yield, but the quality is oil
the best, an exhibit of our oats setting q
gold medal at the ST. Louis fair"
Mr. Perry was especially enthusiastic
over the potato crop. He said: Il hav,
Travelled over a great portion of this coun
try ana nowhere have / found bettei
yield Or a finer grade Of potatoes thar
ours"
When asked IL the advent Of the farmer
would not mean the end of the grea
cattle and sheep business of the west, Mr.
Perry said that while II would sound tn,
oeath knell OF the old-time cattle baror
and sheep kings, still the country would
always be a great stock country. the diff
ference being that in the future feeding
would be the method used, while in tn,
past the range has been the main de
pendence.
Asked to express an opinion on the com
parison OF fertility of the soil of the ives
with that OF the east Mir Perry said
I'VE have as fertile a soil and NOR
sunshine than the east but they have
little more rain, but we are equalizinl
natures shortcomings by our great irrl
cation projects, and right now the ives
offers almost unlimited opportunities L

Nebraska Has
B lmper Crops
Corn is Turning Out Far Beyond ALI
Expectations of the Early
Prophets.

Nebraska never had a more successful
year in crops, business or growth than
the one just being finished" declared j.
Il. UT, general agent OF the Rock Island
in Omaha. Mr.. Utt who has been a Ne
braskan for years is Judged to be one OF
the best authorities on local crops in this
state. On the first Of last July Mr.. Utt
said that I'm spite of the dry weather Ne
braskas corn crop would be 200 900. 90,
bushels in an interview in The Bee. Now
IL is found that he was about right
The corn of this year is not only right
in quantity continued Mr. Ctt but II
is also the best that this country has seen
Tor years. Every kernel Is filled out to
the utmost and each ear is chuck fun OF
kernels. The late rains we had here, com.
bined with the continued stretch Of warm
weather which followed has produced
results far beyond the expectations Of al.
most every farmer in the state
Fall blowing is completed almost every,
where and winter wheat is coming aIona
finely. That's where the late rains helped
again-in getting the hard ground in shape
for early blowing.
Pastures are considered perfect every,
whore except on the big ranges, where Tn,
grass is Of a different quality than tn,
usual pasture grass. The second crop Of
grass has grown well this fall and ma
tured finely in this warm weather.
With 325OOO.OOO bushels OF corn in Iowa
and 9O0,Oo0,OOO bushels in Nebraska enc
the stock and pastures in such good con
diuons, I would be afraid II conditions il
the west were any better"
The Burlington crop report for the weeI
shows that the optimism OF MI. UT II
exceedingly well founded In severa
places the agents report that a fros
would be a benefit at this tn as tn,
corn is fully matured in growth and onl,
needs to harden a little. Beets in thi

new SYSTEM PLANNED
FOR COTTON WEIGHING

Washington. Sept. 2S.-Proposals
for the adoption of new system Of
expressing weights and values in the
cotton trade have been submitted to
the cotton manufacturers in Great
Britain by the British Weights and
Measures Association. Consul Crab
ame at Bradford reports that it is es-
TAINTED that the proposed reform will
save nearly 100000 to the trade. The
new system would mean that all spin
ners, manufacturers, yarn agents and
cotton goods merchants would express
all factions in hundredths when quot
ing, rendering or contracting for cot
ton goods of all descriptions. AS re-
CARDS weights, it is proposed that the
112-pound hundred-weight should be
practically abolished in connection
with the cotton trade. This change
has already been put into effect, as
stated, in the weighing of cotton bales
in Liverpool, and has resulted in a
large saving.

The Price OF SALMON
Will ADVANCE Higher

Seattle, Wash, Sept. 2S.-Thrifty
housewives will do well to lay in a
stock of salmon now. Prices are al
ready near the highest mark known,
but they will go higher. The pack is
small and the demand great, and this
will make. cans smaller and prices
higher foreign countries are now
demanding large quantities of Ameri-
can salmon. The scarcity applies
principally to the better grades, which
are most in demand. The supply of
the cheap Alaska pink salmon is un-
limited, but the demand in past years
has been comparatively small.
