Only Water Needed.

The summer of 1887 Orange Judd
told the writer in Colorado Springs
that, ''There Is not section of Colo
RADIO plains that cannot be made pro-
ductive to a wonderful degree if you
give it sufficient irrigation water"
And this has been proved time and
again. A few years ago land west
of this city went a-bsggine for pur-
chasers and farmers. 1t was said
that it was too sandy to be worth
much for farms; that it would not
pay for the irrigation water, etc. but
this has been proved fallacy. George
NJ. Houston owns ranch about a
mile west on Main street and last
spring he rented 1t to Henry Pierce,
who put forty acres into early Ohios
and Pearls. The former averaged 100
Sacks to the acre and the other day
he began digging the Pearls. The
first acre gave 22O sacks and he ex-
pects the field will show an average
1920 sacks the acre. AT present
market pr. ., seventy-tive the hum
dred pour s, this means a gross
value of f.s4 an acre. A year ago II
one had asked some men $40 an acre
for thi, ranch they would have put
him Gown as real estate shark.
