Finest Farming Land in colorado.

No town in the state gives bet
ter promise for the future. Located
in the heart of the finest agricul-
tural lands that the state affords
and filed with intelligent, ener-
7getic and liberal citizens, Rocky
Ford must ultimately be THE
town of the lower Arkansas valley.
The fair is a success, the result of
good management and having a
natural location. No other locality
in the state can furnish the same
opportunities for such an institu-
ton. Watermelon Day is known
all over the United States. The
scheme is and has been great
advertisement for the valley, and
has been aud will be of great bene-
fit to the state. 1t is the duty of
every citizen of the valley, includ-
ing the citizens of Pueblo, to
patronize and aid Rocky Ford in
these enterprises in every way
possible. I. H. DEv1NE,
Pueblo, Colo.
Rocky Ford enterprise., 1893-09-21

For the information of its read
ers of all political faiths the EN-
TERPR1sE publishes the three coun-
ty tickets nominated. There are
capable and trustworthy men on
all the tickets. Having such a
list to select from it will be the
fault of the voters if a thoroughly
efficient set of officers are not
chosen in November.

BUT for the recent panic Rocky
Ford would now doubtless be bor-
ing for artesian water. A move
ment was on foot some time since
for that purpose and considerable
money raised. AS soon as times
improve the work will doubtless
be renewed and pushed to compile
ton.

An Example Of Enterprise and Generosity.
Even progressive Pueblo could
very proitably take a lesson in
enterprise and generosity from
her thrifty young sister fifty miles
to the East-Rocky Ford. These
two graces, SO justly coveted by all
Western cities, were manifested
in a very marked degree on Water
melon Day of the Arkansas Valley
fair. f. MoRNINGsTAR,
Sec. Pueblo Board of Trade.
Wonderful Achievements Shown.
Those thrifty shade trees along
every street make most agrees
able impression and guarantee the
enterprise of your citizens. The
fair is an exhibition of the won
derful possibilities as we'll as the
achievements of the Arkansas val
ley in agriculture and horticul-
ture. Watermelon Day is a great
institution and the quality of the
melons is only equaled by the
generous hospitality of the Rocky
Ford people.

ROCKY FORD!
AS Seen by Visitors.
A S MPOSIU M
Of Watermelon Day Impressions.

On Watermelon Day we inter-
viewed a number of our visitors,
requesting, for publication, their
opinion of that unique festival; /;
also of the Fair, and Rocky Ford
generally. We give an install
ment of these views this week as
follows:
Judge Fields says, "A vsritable Garden Spot"
A wonderful Transformation III
fifteen years; Rocky Ford and vi
cinity demonstrated to be a verit-
able garden spot, the agricultural
products simply wonderful. Wa
termelon Day is a fixture for a
thousand years to come. Surely a
land of milk and honey as we'll as
land of melons. He who is SO
fortunate as to own a farm in the
vicinity of kocky Ford merits and
will receive the gratitude
Of his children. Arkansas Valley
lands are certainly a safe and prof
table investment. Hasten around
the next annual watermelon day,
when joy and surprise awaits all
newcomers. j. FIELDS,
Colorado Springs.
Senator Drake says''Tis q Revelation"
A visit to Rocky Ford is indeed
a revelation. One must see it and
surrounding country to fully ap-
preciate and understand the possl-
bilities of agriculture and horticul-
ture in the Arkansas Valley of
Colorado, and in fact must stop
and think twice, when viewing the
landscape, before feeling quite
sure he is not somewhere else than
in that part of the country which
was SO recently part of the bar
rem plains Of Colorado. The en-
terprising and thrifty people of
Rocky Ford and vicinity are de-
serving of every success possible.
The fair is certainly worthy eff
fort and the thousands of visitors
on w atermelon Day is the best
evidence of appreciation on the
part of the general public.

Phenomenal Hospitality.

My impression of Rocky Ford
is that the town is too small for
its size on Watermelon Day. We
all realize silver is cheap and
spend it accordingly, consequently
don't fail to provide plenty of food
and water, both Of which was
found to be in the minority the
7th. Remember "the hard times"
is forgotten as soon as the date of
the annual melon festival is an
nounced, MS with one accord we
plan to accept your cordial invita-
ton to be one Of the hundreds to
take our place around your melon
table. The fair was good, the
melons better each year, and the
hospitality of the people of Rocky
Ford phenomenal.

A Ministerial Opinion,

Rocky Ford is in the center of a
beautiful valley that ought soon to
be Colorado's garden. The hospi-
tality that expresses itself in the
biggest pile of free watermelons
ever seen in America, will make
Rocky Ford famous throughout
the state. r. A. CARN1NE,
