largLT scale this year, indicate the profitableness of this application 

 of the results of dry-farming operations. A most desirable coopera- 

 tion therefore may be established between the dry-farmer on the 

 one hand and the range stockman on the other. Tlic silo in fact, prop- 

 erly de'i'ciopcci. is the range stockman's salvation if lie ivill but utilize it 

 to the best advantage. Silos' should be recognized as necessary insur- 

 ance for the range stockman's business. 



This publication is a digest of the results of several years ot 

 drv-farming experiments in different parts of the State and relates 

 to methods of culture, crops to grow, feeding of live stock, preserva- 

 tion of crops as silage, and cooperative management between dry- 

 farming and range stock interests. Along these lines of develop- 

 ment we believe that large areas of semi-arid lands wdthin the State 

 ma}- l^e developed to advantage in cooperation with range industries.
