"Omaha is certainly delivering the
food," giild DouRla.i Whits. Industrial
agent of the Fait I-ako route In discussing
tho I-nnd how last evening. "I was un
able to get here for last January's; show,
but the doors had hardly closed on that
first of Omaha's land exposition before
tho entire west began to feel Its effect.
To be candid with you I was a bit sur
prised when results began to be apparent
in so short a time, but there they wcr
and directly traceable to the varlou
displays' at Omaha. This year the Omaha
event hn become so extensive as to be
practically a demonstration of the pos
sibilities ot the entire nct and its re
sults are sure to attract people to every
state from the Missouri to tho Pacific
seaboard."
"Now I am an enthusiast on exposi
tions of just this kind. I believe they do
a world of good, not only to the far
away sections represented, but to the
state or section directly surrounding the
place of exhibition. I will warrant you
that there are Kebraskans who can learn
a lot about their own state by a visit
to Nebraska's display. I know this Is the
case both in California and Utah, the two
states In which I am directly Interested.
We bad a Land show at Los Angeles last
winter and, in spite of the fact that Cal
ifornia's resources are advertised In every
corner of the world, there were people
who had lived in the golden state for
years who came there and acknowledged
that they had received a post-graduate
course In California's possibilities. The
same statement applies to I'tah's and
under these personally observed condi
tions I maintain, that a thoroughly
equipped Land show, such as Omaha
Is now enjoying, is not limited as to Its
results by either a maximum or minimum
of distance."
"One of the promlnst factors which
ts at present contributing to the rapid
development of the west is the carrying
out of the dry-farming idea. I have
watched the progress of this idea very
closely because, upon its success de
pended the development of hundreds of
thousands of acres tributary to our line
of railway When Senator Clark first
planned to build the Gait Lake route, Its
rails pierced a territory through which
it was estimated . that a Jack rabbit
could not travel and survive. It neoded
something to bring about quick and sue
cessful development and, following the
example of Kansas and Colorado, Utah
went into the dry-farming business from
an experimental standpoint. It took a
few years to show certainty of results.
but When they came it was so convlnc
lng that even Uncle Sam showed a de
elded Interest by putting Into effect the
present enlarged homestead act designed
to apply specially to the dry farmer who
must summer fallow halt his land and
who, by the operation of this act Is
allowed to locate on 820 Instead on 180
acres of public lands."
"Utah has specially benefitted from the
operations ot this new homestead law,
there having been nearly half a million
acres located In that state under its
provisions ' during the last eighteen
months. Much of this area Is already
under development and it means that,
within a very short time, the cereals of
the I'.termountaln country will be raised
exclusively on dry farm landa, thus leav
lng the irrigated areas to the production
of fruits and other highly remunerative
crops. This means a world of increase in
the revenues. of that great section which
leas than a generation ago, was set down
geographically as the great American
desert.
Desert la Wiped Oat.
"Speaking of the desert, there I no
such thing, for where water is not avail
able the dry farming system Is rendering
It possible for these sage brush plains to
produce cereal crops wnlch rank in yield
with the lands of our older sections.
"In speaking as I do ot dry farming,
do not misinterpret me, for I am fully
convinced that this system, new to the
west, will move hand In hand with Irriga
tion in the development of the great arid
and semi-arid sections. We have this dls
tlnctly exemplified In our own tributary
country, for, while Utah has been extend
ing its developed areas by dry farm meth
ods down in Nevada,' the great Las Vega
valley has become an irrigated section
The discovery of a decided artesian belt
covering thousands of acres of this area
formerly termed desert. Is rapidly draw
ing settlers to a section of Nevada thor
oughly unknown until the construction ot
the Bait Lake route brought its posslblll
ties In touch with the rest of the coun
try."
"These and like facts must be placed
before the people of the country, and al
though much may be done by the dls
trlbutlon of literature, a direct appeal by
means of a showing covering the possl
bllltles of these new sections, as well as
the older sections of the country, forms
a certain method for the developing o
an Interest. The Land show Is the one
great feasible method of placing these
possibilities before the people and Omaha
has proven the value of Its situation as
a clearing house for the Information, not
only regarding the states further west
but Nebraska as well. I am thoroughly
convinced of the wisdom In making the
Omaha Land show a permanent Instill
tlon, and with each year its value to the
entire west will be more fully estab
Ushed."

Big California Proves
Itself to Be Greatest
Oil Producing Region
California has demonstrated itself, most
conctusivejy, to be the greatest oil-pro-
uclng country on the globe, and the
production continues to Increase grad-
ally. in tho first six months of 1911
the production reached an output of ap
proximately SS.500.0CO barrels, or a dally
average of about 210,000 barrles, and it
will be more than a decade before the
development of its many wonderful oil
fields can even reach the maximum.
The wild excitement that always per
vades every oil field In its early history
and results In "wild catting" Is no longer
present In any of the California fields.
The development has resolved Itself into
substantial, methodical business, car
ried on by solid financial lntorests who
have realized the wonderful opportuni
ties and grasped the chance to make
money out of oil.
The oil business of California long
since has passed the experimental stage
and stands today, unquestionably, as
the greatest and most Important indus
try of the $tate. The total gross pro
duction In the state for 1911 of approxi
mately 60,000,000 barrels will not only
yield an enormous revenue, but afford
employment to thousands of people.
The use of oil as a fuel has Increased
so rapidly, on account of Its conven
ience, cleanliness and cheapness, that Its
consumption, in truth, has become a com
mercial necessity, and the producers in
the post have never been able to main
tain In storage above the ground a quan
tity at any time sufficiently large to in
sure consumers with absolute certainty
that their demand could be supplied.
Nothing more than a guess .can be
made, as to how much-oil existing con
tracts call for future delivery, but some
Idea may be formed from the fact that
Mr. St. Clair, the' president of the In
depenwtut Troducers' agency, recently
stated that that agency alone had con
tracts for delivery aggregating between
00,000,000 and 70,000,ww barrels, and it is
known that other concerns have con
tracts equally as large or larger. Bo
great, in fact, has become the demunJ
for oil that selling agencies are recognls
lng the vital necessity of creating and
maintaining a storage above the ground
for a large amount of oil to guarantee
their selling contracts, and the Inde
pendent Producers' agency recently de
clared Its intention, publicly, of creating
a storage surplus as soon as possible of
at least 10,000,000 barrels.
It Is safe to predict, and, in fact, it U
the opinion of the best versed oil men
In California, that If the production of
oil in California today was great enough
to insure a visible surplus of 100,0o0,00j
barrels in storage above the ground
wihln the next three years, that it would
mean a big Jump In the price ot oil, and
every move now being made in the Cali
fornia oil industry points to the fact that
tnere is a determined effort being mads
among the reliable and far-seeing oil
men to provide for such a surplus.
Of the many new companies producing
oil in California, none is in such excel
lent position to enjoy the advantages of
this situation as the Bulck OH company,
lis No. 1 well, brought in several months
ago, has been producing consistently for
many months, approximately, 110,000 bar
rels of oil of high gravity each month.
and it has sufficient proven territory
upon which to drill two score or mora
wells, which should produce a valt sum
In profits for the stockholders of this
company.

Oil company, la the former creator and
manufacturer of the Bulck automobile,

lainlllar with automobiles.
"This big land product show is the bt
thing that ever happened to the west and
to Oninha and Nebraska because the
world will learn In a week thing about
Omaha and the west that would have
taken several generations to learn had
the ordinary course of events been al
iowed to drag along In their old-fashioned
ilow-going way." said Colonel Ingersol.
pioneer and heavy land owner from
Pocatello, Idaho. "Of course In time a
long time the truth about this wonder
fully productive country tributary to
Omaha would have forced Its way to the'
front had the old slow-going policy been
fol'owed, but It Is against the spirit of
American progress to let things drag In
definitely that can be safely expedited.
In matters of this kind, like all others,
the sooner the truth Is known, the better
It will be for all concerned.
