1912 Dry Farming Congress urged for Alberta bid
Lethbridge board of trade urges support for bringing the International Dry Farming Congress and exposition to Alberta in 1912. The letter outlines past participation by Lethbridge, Cardston, Macleod and Taber, notes global delegates, and calls for government and press backing to raise about 25 000 dollars. It also mentions Spokane 1910 and Colorado Springs 1911 bids, and highlights the value of dry farming knowledge sharing. Manitoba begins discussion on western highway plan from Great Lakes to Pacific coast, with a proposed conference to push the scheme.
