Experimental Farm.

Sheridan papers report an IN
vestigation there by state otic'
ials, with a view of locating a
dry farm experiment station in
the Sheridan country" This sug-
gests the fact that only last spring
the Government abandoned two
fully equipped and highly efficient
farms of this kind, at Cheyenne
and Newcastle, latter consultation
with Wyoming state officials and
with the approval of Governor
Kendrick"-as has previously been
reported in detail. Members OF
the Wyoming delegation-from
whom the proposed abandonment
was kept until after the plan had
been approved by Governor Ken
drick-protested vainly for the re,
tention of these farms. At that
time it was suggested by the De-
partment that ''other work" had
been planned to take the place OF
the two farms abandoned. A
splendid site for the proposed
farm, near Sheridan, would be on
the lands adjoining those given
the city of Sheridan by Governor
Kendrick-now magniicently i'm
proved by the city as a park and
