cement. Save for some damage done
In one or two quarters by recent floods,

r.rtil. Land. of Colorado.

The traveller who visits Colorado for the
first time Is surprised and impressed with
the oppor tunities the state affords in agri-
cultural pursuits. The mineral wealth Of
the state. with its many famous mines,
seems to have become fixe0 ia the minds OF
strangers. crowding out all knowledge Of
her wonderfully fertile soil Little thought
10 ever given to the u ,o0c miles of irri9A-
CATION canals that have been constructed,
and the 20o0, 90 acres of land which have
thus far been made productive. Yet, out
out of 81 exhibits from Colorado at the
worlds fair sighty-one special premiums
wsre awarded. covering all kinds of fruit
and produce. The wheat exhibit attracted
wide attention. and twenty-five awards
were given it alone, the largest number
received by any one state in the Union.
The fruit industry has reached n, OoO, 600
year and is ye; in its infancy. Sugar beet
culture is profitable industry. The min
eral wealth Of the state, which leads ali
other states in the Union in the output of
gold and silver. does not compare with her
agricultural wealth. A handsome and pro-
iusely illustrated pamphlet. entitled The
Fertile Lands OF Colorado y has just been
