prorKlve -worK;"when the Trans-MlnsU-slpnj
ejoUion orgunlied largely through
the curleas efforts of the late Edward
Rosatlr-Th Hep helped ' put Omaha
back On Us feet; asaln, when the National
Corn exposition was . exploited. The Be.
was behind it and Omaha was put on the
map In the jnlnd of the holo country as
the metropolis of the richest agricultural
district In the world the logical city of the
Corn Belt. ...
But OnjKia must still so ahead.

TO THE WEST OF VS. IT WILL BRING
AN EVER INCREASING RETURN. Moie
over, In the newer west are the best land
Investment opportunities the I'nlted States
has ever seen.
"The policy of The Omaha Bee 1 to
carry on a campalKn to further these ends.
Thin will be done, not only through our
two publications. The Omaha Bo and The
Twentieth Century Farmer, hut through
an annual exposition to be known as the
Western Land Products exhibit."
It la well, not only for the people ot
Omaha, but aJao those who Uva In tne
newer west, to remember the purpose ot
this exhibit. Never for a moment has this
purpose been lost night of by Its manage
ment. Exhibits offered by southern states
huve been refused. No space has been sold
to Canada. Southern railroads have not
been permitted to buy floor space.
Eery Important feature in the develop
ment of the west has been brought out.
A miniature mountafn fange at the bacK
of the stage has been built up, with run
ning water and a miniature reservoir at
Its base and a reproduction of an Irrigateu
farm to tell the story of lrrlRatlon. The
importance and methods of dry farming
are brought out In a similar way by one
of the most Interesting exhibits In the
Bhow. It Is the same exhibit that was
shown at Pueblo at the National Irriga
tion congress, where It was the big fea
ture of the show. A drainage exhibit wu.
how the proper methods of drainage for
the reclamation of lands ,not properly
drained by nature, and show how thou
sands of watte acies can be put to use.
The two crops that will do more than j
any others to revolutionise western agri
culture are alfalfa and emmer. The dem
onstration of how to raise, handle and
utilize alfalfa has been worked out by the
Chicago & Northwestern railroad, and Is
the only complete and accurate altalta
exhibit that bus ever been prepared
In the Big Horn basin exhibit will be
shown emmer, the wonderful new creation
of Prof. H. C. Huffum, the new grain thai

has had the advantage of the dates of
the show being later than any of the others
and gathering together the best from each
of the great shows of the season. That It
will receive the same welcome in Omaha
that land shows have had elsewhere goes
without saying.
Many Foreigners
Inquire for Land
Railroads Get Answers from Their
Advertisements from All Over
the World.
An indisputable record that foreigners are
.ntcrested In and taking up much of the
Western land now selling at low figures can
be seen at any railroad land Information
bureau of today. During the last few years
tlise agencies have received hundreds of
inquiries from almost every country In the
world, asking about free land, the prices of
any kind of land and what kinds of crops
can be raised on the Kround.
These foreigners are careful farmers and
farm In an up-to-date manner, bringing
forth some of the finest products In Amer
ica and often forte ahead of the Amerlcan-
oorn man, who seems to carry on his work
In a more wasteful manner. Many of the
best products that are being sent to tho
Omaha land show bear the names of men
who have been in this country less than
ten years and ,who only found out about
the land through the American railroads.
The I'nlon Pacific foreign mall files for
the last year are indicative of the class of
Inquirers who want to know about Ameri
can lands and especially lands which they,
hear are cheap in the western part of tho
country. Many of the letters received are
In foreign tongues and have to be trans
lated before they can be understood, some
are from fairly well-to-du furniera and
working people of Europe; others are from
men and women who are hardly able to
write, but have a little money saved.
One froifi Russia says m the opening
lines. "To the honorable land departme:u
of I'nlon Pacific," and closes, "I beg youi
most honorable and august pardon If I
have In any way offended you by my In
iiilll los." and Is sent by tne re.pi csentalivi
of six families of a It'iaslan village. The
letter had to be translated fioiu tne I.us
