Lamson - Scribner, visited the States of Kansas, Nebraska, Colorado, Wyoming, Utah, Nevada, California, Oregon, Washington, and Idaho for the purpose of study ing conditions With reference to cultivated forage crops. In the course of his investigations he Visited the experiment stations of the above States and interviewed many farmers and ranchmen, from some of Whom he received much valuable information. Considerable informa tion was also obtained from seedsmen and from dealers in grain and hay and farm machinery. The accompanying paper is a resume of the information thus obtained. It is recognized that in a large section of country rather sparsely settled, and particularly one in Which agri culture is a recent development, many farmers and others have learned much that would be valuable to others in the same section of country. The principal object of this paper is to make common property of the individual knowledge of various farmers, ranchmen, and others, so that each may benefit by the experience of others. This is particularly important in a new country such as the region described herein. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
