Dry Farming Train.


The Rock Island people who are
very much interested in the de-
velopment Of this southwest coun-
try, has placed special train at
the disposal of the Dry Farming
Congress which will meet at Col
orado Springs this year. About
twenty of the dry farming coun-
tries of the world will have exhib-
its there, and Albert Steinal, ed
itor of the Southwest Trail is max
ing an effort to have several of the
counties of this section of the
state combine and send an exhibit
there and later send the same ex-
hiblt to the land show which will
be held in Chicago in the fall.
This would cost a little time and
money, but we believe it would be
a paying investment for the farm
ers and real estate men to get to-
gether and see that this section of
the state of Kansas was represen-
ted. There is no more fertile
spot in Kansas than this southwest
country, and it would be rather
good to see our products take
first prize in such an exhibition.
The special train will reach Lib
eral on the evening of Thursday,
April 90, and an evening meeting
will be held in the cars here. On
the following morning, there will
be another meeting. This train
will cost the Rock Island more
than we could afford to pay for it,
yet we may have the benefit if the
farmers of this section of the coun-
try will take time to come and see
it There will also be a meeting
for the ladies', at which matters of
interest to housewives will be dis
cussed. Two cars will be devoted
to this work. The train will carry
the best informed men on dry
farming in the country, among
whom will be Mr.. Cottrell, Agri-
cultural Commissioner of the
Rock Island. 1t would be a good
idea for the farmers to begin now
to make their plans to attend.
