COLORADO sPRINGss, Jan. 1s

COLORADO SPRINGSS, Jan. 49,
A board of control. officially repre-
senting all sections of Colorado, is
being organized to prepare for and
conduct the Sixth Dry Farming con
gress which is to be held In Colorado
Springs in October, 1911. Each board
of county commissioners, each mayor
and each chamber OF commerce in the
state has been requested to name one
member OF the board, which will mum.
ber $50. Secretary John T. Burns has
already received acoeptances from
many prominent men.
Governor John f. Shafroth is hon.
orary chairman OF the board OF con-
troll and will himself appoint ten mem,
bers at large. The active chairman
is John Lennox. president OF the Mer.
chants association OF Colorado
Springs, and the executive committee
is composed of fifteen representative
business and professional men OF that
city.
The significance OF the dry farming
congress to Colorado lies not only In
the fact that there are In this state
| 100000 acres OF land which can be
brought under cultivation only by sci
entific dry farming, but also In the
fact that the careful application ol
dry farming methods of cultivation to
irrigated lands will lessen the amount
OF water needed and thereby Increase
the acreage under ditch. The entire
state will share in the benefits which
rsult from the holding OF the Sixth
Dry Farming congress in Colorado this
fall.
For the purpose OF explaining dry
farming methods and getting In close
touch with the farmers, a series oi
trips will shortly be made into dry
farming districts. The first OF these
will be over the Rock Island lines
from Colorado Springs east to the
state line.
Since the establishment OF the In
ternational headquarters in Colorado
Springs, widespread interest has been
manifested in the work Of the con
gress and every mail brings In ap-
plications for membership and sub
scription to the semi-monthly bulletin
The correspondence conducted from
the Office reaches every corner OF the
globe.
