Emerson and family visited Hannibal relatives Saturday. Let Me Show You Wyoming! You may have questioned some i of the statements you have heard about the wonderful crop yields ob tained by Wyoming farmers par ticularly those in the Big Horn Ba sin -but if you will visit the coun try and talk with some of the farm ers from Illinois, Iowa and Mis souri who have settled there, you will readily understand why they feel so optimistic. A former Iowa man recently wrote me as follows: "I believe there is no better loca tion in the west than just where I am, and I heartily advise my friends to look over the fine irrigat ed land that is open to entry on Shell Creek Tract, if they are inter ested in acquiring a home in a pro gressive, rapidly developing coun try. I have planted an apple or- i chard on part of my land and shall enlarge it considerably this next spring; during this past season I re ceived returns that were more than satisfactory from quite an area which I truck farmed, in spite of the fact that this was the first year the land had been cultivated." What this man has done is not at all unusual. There is no good reason why you can't do it too, pro vided you get your place picked out before all the good land is taken up. In order to make it easy for you to look the Basin over without too much expense, the Burlington Route will run special Homeseekers' Ex cursion's from Omaha on October 5th and November 5th. Can't you go with me and see for yourself just what the opportunities are in this section? Just write me on what day you can go a postal will do and I will send you our folder and tell you just how and where to meet me in Omaha. D.
