greater example was chronicled in
The Record, which states that Mr..
John Weed marketed 1,200 boxes from
one-eighth of an acre. They yielded
him $132.33. This Is at the rate of

would be content with just half this
result.

When President Mckinley, on his
recent visit to Arizona, during one OF
speeches made the terse statement
that Irrigation means immigration,
he sounded the slogan that will ring
throughout the United States, and ul-
timately be the means of securing the
aid of the national government toward
irrigating much of this vast Western
empire whose soil needs but ito be
tickled with water and it laughs with
crops"
While national aid will do much to
promote the growth of irrigation still
individual effort must continue its
work and it is well not to lose sight
of the vast amount of good accom-
plished in this line by private enter
prise.

of her sister states in this respect

CANON CITY CLUBS.
Canon City a Town Of Many Clubs,
Devoted to Literature, Art, the
Home and Amusement.

When early in 1868. upon the occa-
sion of Charles Dickens visit to Amer
lea, the two or three women members
of the New York Press Club were re-
fused tickets for admission to the
banquet given in honor of the great
English Master OF Fiction by the
club. no one dreamed that this rebuff
would result in the organization of a
club of women-Sorosis. called truly
the Mother of Clubs-which would be
the beginning of a network that with
in thirty years would spread from
Maine to Honolulu and from Alaska
to Cuba. Clubs not only for mutual
Improvement" as so many of the old
constitutions read. but for active work
along educational. artistic and mum.
cipal lines. We still have purely lit
erary clubs. but every year sees n de-
crease in their number and their ex.
istence is owing largely to old asso-
citation. or for the gathering together
of conge1ial friends. but almost in.

around Canon City mark it as as plen-
did instance of what man can achieve
when he co-operates his industry with
natures gifts.
In heading this article What In
dustry Accomplishes When Co-operat-
ing With Nature" the object is to
make plain that in cultivating the
lands in and around Canon City work
is necessary. Not the drudsery de-
manded on an Eastern farm, but close,
careful attention and thorough cult
walton is what secures the result.
There are in the vicinity of Canon
City some 10000 acres of the most
fertile soil to be found in the world.
1t is an adobe composed of the wash
from the mountains, which has taken
hundreds of years to accumulate and
is impregnated with the best of fer
tilizing qualities. Lack of water is all
that keeps this land from yielding i'm
mense returns and where mans inge-
nuity has supplied this deficiency the
result is ten times more profitable
than in other sections less favored.

cess. 1t requires not great study to
master it's principles and any farmer
around Canon is ready to give the
newcomer the benefit of his expert

The citizens of Canon have never
failed to appreciate the benefits of ir-
rigation to the land in their vicinity
and chat it has been a success is
shown by the number of ditch compa-
nies operating in the district.
They are the following: Canon City

variabiy the women composing the
membership of these clubs are also
connected with at least one other club
whose purpose is deeper, where prac-
tical every day work is done, and
where every woman may find or make
for herself a place and a work. The
women of Canon may well be proud
of their clubs, for they rank favor
ably with those of much larger cities.
BY virtue of age the Friends in Coun-
ell stands at the head. Organized in
1888 with twenty-five members, every
wear 1t has done better work, its scope
has widened, and its influence been
strengthened. The first year of its
life the Constitution of the United

Clubs.
Last year the four Libraries owned
by the club were given to the State
Federation, and school decoration
taken up as its practical work.
For several years the club was lin.
tied to twenty-five members. the more
conservative reasoning that better and
more thorough work could thus be ac-
complished. but with their years their
views have broadened. and in the
spirit OF Not what we give. but what
we share" they have opened their
doors to double the original number.
and in all probability some time the
latch spring will be always out to
any who may desire to enter.
