 by the Show

The exposition committee of the Dry Farming Congress has sent out the subjoined announcement of the meeting of the congress this year:
 Colorado Springs. June z, 1911. To Farmers. Business Men and All
 Others Interested in the Promo
 tion of Agriculture in the Dry
 Do you want to go a great ser vice to your immediate community, to yourself individually and the cause of bringing the dry-lands under cul- tivation? We take it that you do. and we are thus addressing you in the hope that you will immediately take steps to assist in providing an exhibit at the Exposition of the h. ternational Dry-Farming Congress that is to be held at Colorado Springs. October 16 to 22, 1911.
 The committee has every reason to believe that this will surpass any agricultural display ever held in the western country. We want the prod ucts of your farm. orchards and gar dens that have been raised under dry-farming conditions shown there. Don't be too ambitious in the mat ter and think that you must go 10 a great expense, Get together and show the world that your section is capable of producing under right conditions and the right kind of farming. You owe it to yourself and your community to do this.
 But if you are going to undertake an exhibit, now is the time to begin. $ successful exhibit is the result of studied design and careful collect ing. If not too late, plant special plats of land and carefully attend them; lay aside in cool, dark places grains and fruits that ripen, or oth- erwise treat the products in the best way to preserve them If in doubt on matters of this kind, write to the secretary of the congress.
 You will be surprised how fast your collection grows. Start yours and don't be afraid to try it out at state and county fairs before coming with it to the exposition.
 Business men, and especially county commissioners, you have big stake in this thing You can en- courage growers of your region to get together and undertake the col lection of exhibits. Back up their efforts with special prizes; see 10 it that your county gets a good posi- ton assigned it on the Exposition grounds, and then let it be known that you expect the farmers to help fill it Why not get up local prize contests for the boys and girls who are willing to grow some exhibition things or make some butter or raise some chickens and eggs on the dry land home place?
 If you are interested in this mat ter, write to the secretary for in- formation regarding classes and prizes. Premium lists will be issued at an early date.
 The congress is trying to show that western lands need only intel ligent cultivation to make the re- zion produce it's share of the worlds s agricultural wealth. Success comes through resisting the things that op- pose one. The lands that thirst for water have been the arena of the worlds greatest history in the past. By striving we can make western dry-land farms the cradle of agri- culture for the northern hemisphere ! Enlist with us in the cause and ' do it now.
