lowing pages, that we may make them, better and 

 more useful. 



We gratefully acknowledge personal encour- 

 agement and help from many friends. Mr. TL 

 T. Nowell has supplied much of the data for 

 chapters T and S, in Part III. Dr. G. H. Glover 

 has given information in the chapters on Animal 

 Diseases, Farm Surgery and Poisonous Plants. 

 Information, suggestions or help have been fur- 

 nished by Frank Beach, F. W. Wherren, J. T. 

 Burns, W. Paddock, C. P. Gillette, W. P. Head- 

 den, F. C. Alford, L. G. Carpenter and others. 



Finally, this book would have been impossi- 

 ble but for the personal friendship of Dr. Y. T. 

 Cooke. His deep and accurate knowledge of 

 Dry Farming and the West and his unlimited 

 faith, untiring energy and unquestioned sincer- 

 ity, have supplied the right ear-mark of the dry 

 farming discussions. 



We are already assured of a kindly reception 

 to our Arid Agriculture.
