The following is from IL pros
pe:tus of the live stock show to
be held in Denver the first OF
the year, and we believe it will
be of interest to our readers,
both at home and abroad:
While the drouth stricken
farmers of the east are discour-
aged and looking for new loca-
tions, the. FARMERS and stockman
of the Rocky Mountain States
are rejoicing over the largest
and most profitable crop in th e
history of the west. While the
past year has only been normal
and some sections have suffered
from drouth, there has been wa
ter enough for irrigation supple
mented by opportnne rains, and
! in addition the acreage has been
the largest ever known 1t is an
i'll wind that blows no one good
and the drough east has result
ed in high prices for all the west
has been able to produce This
spells prosperity with IA Capital
P.
1t has been suggested that
now is the time for the west to
celebrate and let the rest of the
'country know that agricnlturat
prosperity reigns in the west
Iand time for that celebration is
in January at the National We $,
ern Stock Show. 1t is proposed.
! to make the occasion both u cele
bration of the bountiful harvest
and an incentive to greater
things in 1914. For 700 long

ers that farm intelligently and
base their operations on live

to the west for it's future meat

west to awaken to it's opportun-

time, the place of all the access

a grand real wild west howl that
