MANY OBSTACLES REMOVED tloa, CaltlTatloa, Stock Rale iasr and A law Hoaae Feedlas;. BE SURE to get thfi colored comic section of The Sunday Bee It will be worth your while "Wrnmlnf baa lalit hee foundation stones and la Just beginning to build.' declares a Boston Transcript writer who has completed a three weeks tour of the stabs. Unlike most visiting corre spondents, who limit their observations to a car window, the Boslonlan went far Into the Interior and "left hardly a nook unlnsDected." The result la a critical study of present conditions, tha changes wrought In a few years and ths Indicated prospects. Ths writer says. In part: Wyoming today Is not ths Wyoming of Owen Wlater's "Virginian." Indeed, the Wyoming of that book had already passed In 1902, when ths volume was written. Ths great fres ranges had gons; ths day of ths small farmer and tha Irrigation ditch had begun. This meant much. Ths economic structure of life changed with this change. Tha beef raiser who pastured his stock over a quarter of ths stats passed away, and With him Went the cowboy aa literature knows him tha hard-working, hard-liv ing, picturesque cowboy riding recklessly In ths roundups and tramDlns-. 1 n chanrMia and spurs, Into tho hospitable and fre quent saloon. Frontier day, a show held annually at Cheyenne, Is about the only tUns and placs whers you see cowboys and cowpunchlng as they used to be. Proud of ths past which mads the stats what It Is, Wyoming yearly commemo rates It by this new historical pageant. It la only ths extremely eastern and ir responsible tenderfoot who comes away from that stirring exhibition with tho iaea tnat what he has witnessed Is a representation of Wyoming's regular life. Grab Gasns Cheeked. With this development of Wyoming away from ths old ransa life, the Knn- velt-Plnchot conservation policy has had mucn to do. Before that policy could be put into operation and later, for a whu after It had become a settled fact for corporate Interest to grapple with as best they might, certain aggregations of capital got away with many rich depos its of coal, fields of oil and other valu able minerals, and today hold and ex ploit thess natural resources wholly to their own advantags; ths state has se cured to Itself no royalties whatever. Thess companies own town sites, run the stores and deliver ths votes to ths satis factory candidate. It Is tho story of Pennsylvania Steel and Coal a.11 over again. But aslds from thess exceptions, Wyoming Is being developed In ths main rightly and progressively. I refer partic ularly to ths disposition of agricultural lands to ths small landholder tha kind of Immigrant for which Wyoming Is to day advertising. Irrigated land of the richest kind with abundant water supply at from $26 to 1100 an acre Is perhaps Wyomln's best offer to tho farmer. Such land can be bought on easy .terms and from respon sible parties either from ths stats It self, from tha national government, or from private Irrigation cornoratlona un der stats control and supervision. "The crops," said a farmer, speaking of this kind of proposition, "should talcs care of all payments after ths down payment lave the Coupons ia And Exchange Them for a Ticket to the Omaha amid -Show Ak-Sar-Ben Coliseum, October 16th to 28th Th big thou of big things with something to amuse, educate and edify all classes and ages for 13 big days.

N'o more than one free ticket Issued to any one person. and yield annual profits of from $M to J50 an acre In addition." . A great deal of buncombe ts talked and believed about ths wonderful possibilities or farming In new states like Wyoming. The richness of the soil, ths contrast of ths fertility with ths barrenness of the desert, tha exhilaration of ths climate, ths up-and-coming air of tho country, all thess contrlbuts to the feeling that alfalfa is only another nama for vegetable gold, and that farming In the west Is a para phrase for striking It fat and rich. Very often. Indeed, Incited by ths glitter of a railroad prospectus, settlers move as some have moved Into Wyoming and Idaho only to find Irrigation projects half completed and Irrigation farming an art which It takes at least a year to learn. Then there Is ths chancs of your land bleaching out temporarily Into alkali, or the possibility of seepage swamping your fields. There ars tho Isolation and the enormous distances ever with you. These ars some of the difficulties which ths eager immigrant either overlooks or else minimises. These, coupled with Inexperience and little or no money, turn back ths Incoming tide now and again. But for the man who knows ths differ encs between a alio and a sickle and who has, plus talents, $1,500 or $2,000 and a year's worth of patience, an Irrigated farm In Wyoming, as elsewhere, spells Independence and a comfortable liveli hood. To ths government project at Powell, for example, settlers are coming In slow, steady numbers. When ths Shoshone tunnels ars driven the rush will begin In that region In earnest. "Ths first year," said one of thess locators to tha writer, "is hard plugging. Tou have to clear your ground, build your bouse, barn and fences, buy your livestock and machinery, and watch the sun shine. But nobody ever goes back east after he has stayed out his year." Retreat of the Woolles. As the farmers come In, Wyoming ths wild and wooly, retreats to the moun tains. This is literally true, particularly with respect to ths woolles, for they, together with the cattle, are driven in summer up among the foothills to find their range. In the mountains, too, ths pals antelope" of Wlater's Virginian lurk In vanishing numbers; there and In Yellowstone park, which Is a game pre serve feeder of wild game to the sur rounding country, live the elk, bear, deer. occasional wolves, mountain sheep and Hon, and the smaller fry. Recently a Connecticut Yankee wrote to the Immi gration commission of Wyoming to find out about ths trapping Industry, aa he called It, He wanted to buy land where ths coyotes were plenty wild or unim proved tracts preferred. Incidentally, he would like to shoot bear, cougar, wild cats, lynx, moose and other animals when they attacked his farm house. This man's mental picture of Wyoming waa that of T-year-old .boy with an air gun and a refreshed Imagination. There Is still much gams In Wyoming, but the gams Is like all real game afraid and timorous of men. This writer has ob served the coyote and the terrible prairie dog turn and ran to their respective com fortable covers when confronted with gentlemen of the press traveling through ths sage brush, and he has whispered boo to a black bear who cams to watch the operation of a dressing. The bear did not even last his tall. About the farms the only nuisance Is the prairie dogs, who undermine rabbit-like in in solent fashion. But a certain brand of poisoned stuff settles their hash quite abruptly, and their dust fertilises the dust of ths greening desert. Amid these dangers the Wyoming farmer struggles along. He raises three or four crops of alfalfa a year, some oats, wheat, apples, pears, berries, mel ons, more alfalfa, and stock of various kinds. Sheep and Schedule K are at his back door, perpetually bleating. How long its distress will last he Is not sure. As things are now tha farmer raises ths alfalfa to feed ths stock with, and when the stock are grown he ships them to the killing market via IoWa and Illinois to be corn fattened. But just as the ranges have given away to the smaller farms and ranches so Is this de tail about to be changed. The mutation was wrought by ons man In a laboratory with a greenhouse attachment. That man is Professor H. C. Buffman, the Luther B urban k of Wyoming. The story that Is told to the agricultural tenderfoot Is that hs has cross-bred the prairie dog with alfalfa and got an edible muskrat. That might bs so, but it Isn't. Hers are the facts: Buffum Is not In Who's Who. He Is a plant breeder of considerable distinction, formerly a stats official, but now engaged In plant and seed breeding. In the course of his experiments Buffum got bold of winter smmer, a grain often wrongly called spelt, which had recently been Introduced Into the United States by the United States Agricultural department. It seemed a good grain to try out In Wyoming, since as a rule winter grains gtvs larger yields than those planted in the spring and they can be more cheaply produced and succeed better with less moisture. By throwing tho winter emmer Under unusual conditions of soil and treatment. Its appearance, habit and con stitution were so disturbed that several mutations or "sports" were secured, and these ars so far beyond the original that one would hardly recognise the new product. The new grain partakes of ths nature of alfalfa and emmer. Some single heads havs been grown which weigh half an ounce. So prollflo la the grain that in three seasons Buffum suc ceeded in Increasing It from tha first sporting plants to mors than 710 bushels, threshing machine measure. It appears to thrive on cold snd dryness. Its food value and hers Is the revolutionary aspect of tha esse Is that of corn. Of It Buffum himself said: "It promises to be ths most valuable feed grain ths farmer or stockman can raise, sees It should take the place of corn for stock feeding in the western country, where the cool nights or ths short sea sons interfere with obtaining largs yields of corn. It produces well where the summers are so hot that ths weather Interferes with ths growth of spring grains. It Is good for cattle, horses, sheep or swine." Buffum Is a scientist and as a rule hs does not go outside of his vocation. But If you can get him In a corner as this writer had ths chancs to do hs will depart for a moment Into ths field of economics and tell you what emmer will do for the high lands of ths west llks Wyoming. It emmer succeeds It will mean that ths Intsnnounteln stock-raising states will be dole to fstten their own animals. Hitherto ths middle west, the corn-raising states, have bad that business. Within a few years this will not be so. Emmer, growing on other wise Idle land In ths cold months of ths year, will be transferred by a simple chewing process Into ltvs mtat. snd ths mournful "beefs" hereafter will go direct to ths slaughter house, not stopping off for their usual Iowa respite.
