Second Letter from w. w. r., Reitcrnting
ard Affirming his Previous Statements
About this Remarkable Fruit and Agrl-
cultural Region; Its General Climate and
Healthfulness-An Invitation to Send
for Description and Particulars, and n
Good Suggestion for Method of Exami-
nation.
GRAND JUNCTION, Colo, March 10th, 1890.
ED. ORANGE JuDD FARMER-Since writing
my letter of Jan 81 from Grand Valley,
many letters of inquiry have been sent by
your readers to the Grand Junction Board
of Trade, asking whether the statements
therein set forth were reliable. j now wish
to reiterate every statement made in my
former letter, the main points being that
Grand junction Valley Colorado, has an
all-year-round climate unsurpassed in the
world; that it has no extremes of heat or
cold, no cyclones or blizzards, very few
cloudy days, nearly perpetual sunshine, is
especially adapted FOR those suffering from
pulmonary trouble, and for invalids of all
classes; is one of the finest fruit producing
valleys of the world, and offers grand op-
portunities for invalids with small capi
tai to make an easy and safe competence iii
raising fruit; that ten acres of land set oUJ
in fruit will yield more net cash per year
than the average 300-acre farm of the West
ern States and that with less than one-tenth
of the capital or labor.
In my last / spoke principally of fruit
raising. Now wish to call attention to the
fact that vegetables of all kinds yield abun
dainty, and that while the fruit trees are
growing sufficient vegetables and small
fruits can be raised between the fruit trees
to more than pay. all expenses of taking
care of an orchard. A large cannery will
be built in Grand Junction, ready for next
Summers crop of vegetables, and the
mountain towns of adjacent mining sec
tions furnish ample markets at good profits
Sweet potatoes OF fine quality grow abun-
dainty in the sandy land, and sell readily in
fifty cents to two dollars per bushel
think that if the people who contemplate 6
change would pool together and send out
small committees from among their num-
ber to look over the advantages offered by
this favored locality, it would speedily re-
suit in turning what is now practically
desert into one of the most famous fruit val
leys of the world. The Grand Junction
Board of Trade have recently issued Cir
cular that covers nearly all the points of in
terest here, and their secretary will gladly
send free copy to any one feeling sufficient
interest to write for it. w. w. Z.

BARLEY AS A FARM CROP.
A western Farmer Gives His Experience
with 1t.

A Western Farmer Gives His Experience
with It.
This cereal has been extensively cul-
tivated from remote antiquity III Eu-
rope and Asia, and in fact its range OF
cultivation is wider than that OF any
other grain, as it will flourish N both
hot and cold climates 1t is also grown
over large. areas of the United States
and quite extensively, too, as the annual
yield amounts to about 45,0o0 900 BUSH
els. OF course q large per cent. Of the
barley grown is used for distilling pur-
poses, but 1t is not in this connection
that wish to refer to it as q farm crop
Many farmers have conscientious scru-
pies in regard to growing barley; but
they should not let these scruples over
balance their better Judgment and him
der them from growing crop that can
be very profitably disposed of to good
advantage on the farm. Comparatively
few farmers understand fully the value
of barley as feed, especially for hogs.
Comparing its value with that of other
farm feed crops, it will be found to hold
prominent place, as will be seen by the
table given below. The five crops given
are those upon which the general farm
er depends largely for his feed supply.
The table shows the proportionate feed
ing valne and manurial also.

use of both hands and placing the
basket within easy reach of the same,
thereby saving time in transporting the
fruit from the tree to the basket. The
fruit can also be handled with less dam
age from bruising, and it will therefore
bring more money.
