" The growth of Tho Tranamlssouri Dry Farming congress In threo years, from a somewhat local movement among Colo rado "dry farmers" to a great International congress In which representatives of mil lions of acres of lands In the arid districts of the world are working together to study the problems confronting the "arid land" farmer, Is on of the Interesting develop ments of the year. Hon. Elihu Root, sec retary of state, has Just Issued letters from the State department Inviting the am bassadors and ministers of all nations rep resented In Washington to participate In the coming third congress of the dry farm ers, and all nations having districts whero the natural rainfall la slight and where ir rigation Is Impossible, Will be asked to send delegates to attend the congress and to study there ths methods advocated by the western farmers, who have been mas-J terlng the problems and have already "made good." The third congress will open in this city February 23, next, and will continue three days. Already Algeria, Turkey, Turkestan, Rus la, 'New Zealand and Mexico have Joined he congress the memberships being In the mes of the agricultural secretaries and these countries will probably make a soc ial effort to place reports before the con gress and to discuss their needs and condi tions. Australia recently sent Commissioner Strawbrldge of the Department ' of Agri culture and Senator James McCall aa agents for the government to study western con ditions and the so-called "dry farming" methods In practice. They have Just Issued a 100-page report showing the conclusions reached after comparing American condi tions with those In Australia. : A COMPLETE FOOD taker's Cocoa C A Highest Awards in JJ Europe and America KerWtered U.S. l'st.
