Tho Arkansas valley, and especially
in our vicinity, is the coming home Of the
fruit grower. Land suitable for the bus.
iness in other parts Of the state, where
the orchards are older, sell at from two
to five times as much as here. We were

| One of our successful corn growers
who is modest both in general character
and stature, is now plowing for the corr
crop Of 1895. He approves Of listing
having had good results last season
The ground he is now breaking he will
list just before planting, using the Lister
principally to secure the proper depth.
He will plant with a checkrower and cul.
tivate both ways. The result Of this OK.
perimental planting will be furnished the
Enterprise next fall.
| David Call OF Patterson valley has
200 bushels of recleaned alfalfa seed
which he is holding for cents per pound.
He is offered 51a but wants the higher
figure. But il he should sell at the
present market price he would be doing
fairly well. His seed cleaned up 51I
bushels per acre, which at present figures
would give him S18.15 per acre of gross
income. Subtract the expense of raising
threshing, ETC., and he will yet have re-
turns which are more profitable than some
other crops.
If the building season of 1895 keeps
mp its present pace a most gratifying
growth will distinguish the year. The
latest proposed building which has come
to our knowledge is that to be built by
P. U. Dye on ground he has had leased
from the Santa Fe for some years. He
has 60 feet of ground fronting on Main
Street, between the Rocky Ford Mer.
camille Co.'s warehouse and Maxwell's
store. This entire space Mr.. Dye will
cover with warehouse 80 feet deep
The occupancy OF the building has not
yet been announced.

from Hon. W. A. Colt in regard to legis-

''Senator Swink defended US very ably
and we have every reason to be proud Of
his earnest work in this matter. During
his investigation as one of tho senatorial
committee he walked over the entire line
of this canal, which enables him to pre-
sent facts that astonish the most ardent

marketing more Of his gilt-edge butter

good time, was $40 for the Sunday school

the treasury and the school will soon en-
joy the music Of an excellent organ.

Bright Prospects for the Creamery
Annex.

Bright Prospects for the Creamery
Annex.
L. w. Babcock, superintendent Of the
Sunhower Valley creamery, Hoehne,
Colo, is now in Rocky Ford and has pre-
sented our citizens with an amended
proposition which is so liberal that it
should be accepted at once. He propos-
es to put in a skimming station at an eI-
pense of over $1,000 provided the town
will aid him to the following small ex-
tent: Provide site on which to erect
the plant and furnish without cost the
water which will be required by the
plant. The Town Company will un-
doubtedly grant the use Of lots adjoining
the canning factory on the south. All
the members Of the town council have
been interviewed and they have expressed
themselves favorable to furnishing the
required water free. An early meeting
OF the council will be held at which the
matter will be definitely settled. It now
seems certain that we shall in short
time have the benefits of creamery mar
ket for the product Of the many COWS OF
the valley, and the Rocky Ford country
take one more forward step as the best
agricultural portion Of southern Colorado
A Day in Denver.
The Enterprise made a call on the
state senate last Monday and found
Senator Swink at his post and paying
close attention to public business. The
report of the senatorial hold-over COM
mittee on state canals and reservoirs had
just been received from the state printer
and was being placed on the desks of the
senators. 1t is voluminous document,
being, by reason Of the questions referred
to the committee, an exhaustive review Of
the whole question Of Arkansas valley
irrigation. We shall expect to see this
report frequently quoted from during the
approaching spirited debate on state
canals.
Monday morning the doorkeeper re.
fused to had our card to Representative
Randall saying that tho house was in
committee OF the whole and could not be
disturbed while engaged in the transac-
ton of important business. Access was
however obtained to the gallery from
which we discovered that the term "com-
mlttee of the whole" was misnomer, q
very considerable proportion of the
members seats not being occupied.
Hon. w. N. Randall was however at bis
desk, as was also Hon. W. A. Colt, another
Of the valleys representatives. Monday
afternoon we obtained access to the floor
of the house and found both the above
gentlemen busily engaged in public
affairs. Nothing OF special interest to
our readers was under consideration al
that time,

Among the many immigrants from
western Kansas who have recently settled
in Otero county is family who recently
leased land of Senator Swink in Patterson
valley. As the family had been used to
the comforts Of life Mr.. Swink thought it
would be quite rough experience for the
wife to go out on a raw piece of land to
start new home, from the stump" it
might be said. The family drove out to
the ranch one cold day, arriving late in
the evening. Senator Swink had his
fears as to the wife enduring the changed
circumstances, but says he changed his
mind as he overlook the party on the
road to the lapd. What caused him to
think that the wife would adjust herself
to the new relations was this: As he drove
past the outfit the woman was driving
four horses and knitting at the same
time. Mr.. Swink concluded that twas
no use to waste sympathy on woman
who showed such business capacity az

Hon. w. N. Randall came home last
Saturday for the first time since the
opening Of the legislature. He has his
hands full of work, being chairman Of
one and member Of several of the most
important committees. 8. His bill for pro-
yiding for the building Of Twin Lakes
reservoir is making fair process. Mr..
Randall thinks that the measure will
meet with such favor as to enable it to
pass, except that there be such def
cheney Of money as to prevent the appro-
priation OF $4,000 for that purpose. The
provisions of the bill are substantially as
follows: The said reservoir and water
works, and the water so collected and
stored shall be the property Of the state;
and the waters SO stored shall be turned
into the Arkansas river by the present
channel of Lake creek for the purpose of
Supplying the deficiency of water for the
bitches already constructed and in opera
ton, taking their water supply from said
stream, in proportion to the capacities Of
the several bitches. These provisions are
in accordance With Nh. Randalls views
hs outlined during the campaign, and
cannot but meet the approval of the Ar
kansas valley.

Tho impoverished condition of thous-
ands Of people in eastern Colorado and
western Kansas is well known to our
readers. Owing to drought the past two
years have been almoat total failures and
many of the farmers in those portions OF
the west are suffering for the necessities
IL life. Organized efforts to aid them
are in progress in various parts of the
state and Rocky Ford should not be back
ward in helping in the good work. This
section of the country has been favored
with bountiful crops during the past year
and it is in excellent condition 70 render
substantial aid to the less favored agrl-
cultural sections. The authorities in the
stricken districts have appointed COM
mittees to visit the various sections Of
their respective counties, find out the
needy, and see that all aid sent is prop
erly distributed. Food, fuel and clothing
are urgently needed, and the railways
will transport all donations free. A pub
meeting Of the citizens of Rocky Ford
and vicinity shou1 be called at once that
there may be . unity Of effort in this work
Of common humanity. "'' = = - -

grown in Otero county last year was that
Of D. B. Brown under the Holbrook
ditch. He took 1Q6 bushels from nine
acres. His neighbor Hon. W. N. Ran
dali, secured yield of fifty three bushels
from six acres. From 100 acres of calico
and yellow dent corn, Mr.. Randall had a
yield Of 5000 bushels. He says corn is
one OF the best crops to grow in the
Arkansas valley and that one irrigation
at tasseling time is usually sufficient to
mature a crop, provided the ground has
boen we'll moistened prior to tho planting
Of the seed. Next season he is going to
try some additional varieties of corn and
finds the most profteble all-around crop.
