The Experimental Farm.

The State Board of Agriculture COM
posed of the following gentlemen, Geo.
Wyman of Longmont, F. ]. Ennis, A. l..
Emigh, W. F. Watrons and J. 8. Me-
CIelian of Ft. Collins, John J. Ryan, Love
land; Chas. II. Small, Pueblo and r. A.
Southworth of Denver visited our town last
Friday and Saturday. for the purpose of locat-
ing under an act passed by the last legislature
an experimental farm in this county. They
were met by committee appointed by the
town Board consisting of E. L. Kellogg,
mayor F. Hodgdon, county clerk, Lyman
/. Henry, town attorney, and Geo. B. Nc
Granahan. The local committee took the
members of the Beard of Agriculture up the
Gunnison river over Garnet mesa, up the
Uncempahgre and over California mesa. At
Mr.. Geo. McGranahan's farm on Garnet mesa
all hands, properly all mouths, laid hold on a
lot of fine juicy peaches. In Difference to the
owner the boxes were left and the trees are
still standing. This was done because the
Board recognized the embarrassment that
might otherwise follow in view of the late
legislative proceedings. BY the route taken
many different kinds of soil were examined
and the examination also demonstrated that
we had a climate fit for the growing of fruit
or the production of sweat The Board was
careful and thorough in the discharge of their
duties. Some of the members visited Mr..
Carr's farm and were loud in their praises Of
his success, especially with grapes.
On Saturday evening the State Board ap-
pointed Z. l.. Kellogg, Geo. b. McGranahan
and F. Hodgdon the local trustees to take
charge Of the Experimental Farm. 1t is un-
ders,ood that several selections of sites were
made by the Board and the question of choice
left to be arranged by the local trustees.
There is no apportionnnent Tor purchase OF
land. the stations heretofore located were on
state lands. In the Reservation country there
are no state lands and the land has to be
purchased, while at Rocky Ford and in the
San Luis valley stations were located on state
and school lands. In justice to our people the
great Seventh appropriation Convention of
Colorado should have made an appropriation
for the purchase of land.
The U. S. government makes large appro-
priation for these stations and this fund is
spportioned 20 the respective stations. The
amount set lsluc ioT tile Della couuty statioh
for this year is about 81 ,25o for improvement.
The people must raise the money TO buy the
land. We need the farm, We want it, we must
have it. We must must get the land. Dig
into your pockets. Or why not the county
and town furnish the money? But there must
be move made. This is not sleepy hollow.
The station is to be run to give experiments
in the raising and growing of grasses, grains
and fruits. Now if some damphulecrank is
not put in as superintendent great good will
be done to the country. First get the furm,
that is buy the land. Let the local trustees
come up a rpstling. then let every citizen be
On the Jump to help the trustees. The station
should be in operation by next spring. Don't
90 to sleep over this, don't cuss the admin
is,ra,ion about it, but for Gods sake get up
and move.

Quite an interest is being manifested. The

of San Francisco, Portland and other places
all agree in pronouncing the performance of
Fariui d McMahon much superior to any
thing ever seen in those cities in the circus
line The San Francisco Csroniels says "a
number Of lumber wagons on parade is NO eyi-
dence of superior circus. Such professions
are misleading, and ouly the most sullible
can be deceived by them. As in the pas,
twenty years, the few circuses of any real
merit that have visited our city have had no
wagons. San Francisco has had the big shows
in the ten years, and none for genuine merit
in the equestrian and athletic line compared
iu the least with farini's-it is voiced by all
the best circus seen here since its las, visit,
twelve years ago"
