FARMERS GROW GOOD CROPS
WITH LITTLE WATER.
What People about Big Bend and
Peckham are Doing.-Some
Good Results Are
Had There.

the farmers have pretty near solved
the question of growing good crops
without irrigation. Last summer
there was scarcity of water in that
section. but in spite OF this several
OF the residents there are coming out
ahead of the game this fall. On. of
the most remarkable crops OF this
kind is a piece Of beets OF several
acres where j. E. Davis of Big Bend
raised fifteen tons to the acre. The
only water the beets received from
irrigation is said to be little over.
flow from f. Sullivan's lateral when
at one time the water got away from
him and small quantity ran over
on to his neighhoI's field.
Gordie McMillen, living across the
road west of Mr.. Davis farm. has
raised thee cuttings of alfalfa this
season without drop of irrigation
water upon it. The yield was good,
even under such adverse circum-
stances. Other lands in the vicinity
had not been irrigated for several
years, and yet good crops of alfalfa
have been grown. OF course, with a
good water supply, which efforts are
now being made to secure from over
the range, this section will blossom
out as one OF the best in Colorado.
About halt mile north Of Peck
ham station is the home OF Robert
Eckhardt on one Of the model farms
of northern Colorado. Mr.. Eek
nardt's idea of farming is variety of
crops. He does not pin his faith
entirely to one crop to either win out
big on that one or lose everything.
This year he had beets that ran
about 20 tons to the acre or better,
early potatoes that went l47 sacks to
the acre, a good wheat yield and
some corn. He also has about four
acres in orchard and small fluit from
which he has received good returns.
A good strawberry crop was only a
small part of the fruit he raised this
season. The early frost this fall
caught and DESTROYED about two tons
OF plums that would otherwise have
brought a good price. That Mr.
Eckhardt's idea of variety is ii good
one is shown by the model house and
farm buildings which he has been
able to erect on his farm from the
proceeds The house is large two
story brick building with many mod
ern home mprovements. and the
other buildings ale large and conven-
lent for the two or three hundred
head of stock that are usually kept
there.
Peckham these days is Que of the
liyeliest places in the county when
measured by the amount Of produce
of various kinds that is being handled
! there. Sugar beets are pouring in
there in regular stream. Last
I uesday alone there were eight cars
of these loaded there. and weigh
master, c. F. Reyes, and tareman,
q. NJ. Pearson, are kept busy from
morning until late at night. There
| is no beet dump at that place, neces-
stating IL great deal Of shoyeling OF
the roots. Some of the farmers have
cll. bbcd together and erected hoist
for unloading the wagons. The beets
are loaded into large crates and raised
with the hoist up over the car and
| then dumped. Others believe that
| il is cheaper to shovel the beets by
hand and cling to this method Po-
tatoes are also being shipped from
this point in considerable quantities.
