From the Irrigation Era.

From the Irrigation Era.
There are over one million acres
of agricultural land in Prowers
County, Colorado; 100000 acres ir-
|r,gated by gravity canals from the
Arkansas river with water rights
dating back to 1894, which gives
this territory an. abundancs Of water
for irrigation 1t all times os the
year. The remaining 100000 acres
Is best adopted TO the cattle inter.
tests on account Of the lnxuriant
growth of native grasses and the
richness of the SOIL although there
are many years in which all aKrtcul'
tural crops can be successfully
grown. The country is similar to
that of Kansas and Nebraska as
compared with the richness of the
soil, and every one knows that in
these states with sufficient rain Ia
grow crops once in four years, the
farmer Is on as good footing Is
those of the east. Consider, then,
with the fine systems of irrigation,
which insures a full cror every year,
and the many advantages Of the eli.
mate Of Colorado, together with the
markets for all products. and in
general agriculture you have many
decided advantages over any Of the
Eastern territory, not to mention the
products for which the Arkansas
valley is already famous, VIE: fruit
and melons.
We find from the records Of the
State Engineer of Colorado that the
average amount Of water flowing
lin the Arkansas riyer for the month
|of May was 1904 cubic feet per sec.
ond of time; June. 1900; July,
l,4ls. These are the three months
of irrigation. While the greatest
amount flowing at one time during
these three mo nths WAS 1858 cubic
feet, and we find that up to the year
1889, $500 cubic feet of water was
appropriated by the different canal
companies, which 10 virtually all the
available water for irrigation in the
Arkansas river, and to "a certainty
all the land is now irrigated that
ever can be, and all that immense
territory through from Pueblo to
the Kansas state line must remain,
as . profitable field for the stock
men. One large canal has since
been constructed with : capacity Of
700 cubic feet to lrrigate lands north
of the Arkansas river along the line
Of the Missoufi Pacific, but them
decree of water is dated 1891, and
the other canals must first be sup.
piled with their appropriations.
There are only about 5000 inhab-
itants in Prowets county, and they
represent every state IN the Unions

growth Of cherries, pears, apples,
peaches, grapes, etc, enough has

owners of land in planting large

We would like to say ipst word or
two about melon growing in this valley.
From the different shipping points along
the river last summer over 500 cars Of
csntaloupes were shipped out to eastern
points. returning to the growers from
$50 to 500 per acre, and all told. nearly

direct by the SAINT a Fe route. the great

home market for all product raised, and
in addition much has to be shipped in
