Sometimes people say we suppose
your methods are very good. but wiz
thh average farmer apply them7 To
this we make answer that many thou
sands Of the best farmers do in all
parts OF the west, where the rainfall
comes at such irregular intervals dur
ing the growing season, that unless
proper methods Of cultivation are EN-
ployed with the idea Of conserving tho
moisture when it does fall, the farmer
would have small assurance Of sue
cess.
Thousands Of these men have made
the conquest Of the desert wen nigh
complete and are today the owners OF
prosperous homes on the land and
have developed in great many in
stances that attending a meeting OF
our congress and seeing the crops on
display and talking with the farmer
who grew them, has been responsible
for his success.
Wherever the congress meets (and
we are in different sections Of the

Of the highest possible benefit % the
