42 DRY LAND FARMING 



homesteader could successfully start a farm on the dry 

 lands of the west. This doubt was expressed at one of 

 the meetings of the Trans-Mississippi Dry Farming Con- 

 gress. The live stock ranchers were a unit in saying that 

 it could not be done. Those doubts have been given their 

 answer in the fact that it is being done, and in all the 

 semi-arid states.
