Grand Valley Development.

The story which Mr.. 7. q.
Henry tells of the wonderful
changes that have been wrought
in the Grand valley since irriga-
tion was introduced little more
than twenty years ago reveals
what may be accomplished by
well directed effort in the irriga-
ted valleys of this state.
When the Grand valley was
first settled it was as barren
waste as one could fiud in the
state except for the more or less
rank growth in some places of
sage brush and other desert
plants. But the soil was rich in
the elements of plant growth,
and as soon as water was turned
on from the bitches, crops of the
most bountiful character were
produced.
1t was, however, not until or
chards had been planted and had
come into bearing that the true
developement of the valley was
begun. 1t is the extension of the
orchard area which has wrought
the great changes which attract
ed Mr.. Henry's S attention and
called forth this praise. In
some places the valley has be-
come almost garden of luxuri-
ant growth, and it needs only
the reclamation of the entire ir-
rigable area to make this true of
practically the entire space.
This improvement will in
course of time be still further
extended. More land will be
brought under cultivation. and
large farms will be divided into
small tracts, each sufficient for
the maintenance of family.
Thus in time the Grand valley
will become like a genuine oasis
in the midst of a desert, support
ing large population and yield
ing fruit and other products to
the value of hundreds of thous-
ands of dollars. Denver Repub-
lican.
