, right and are of the opinion that any
one purchasing farm in this valley
will double his money within one year
We will certainly have all this land
sold soon.
The man who has good farm Ii
an irrigated country, and a good irri-
cation right, knows its value. He
never sells out and goes back to the
farm in the east where too much rain
or too protracted drouths distress and
disappoint. In any line of business
certainty is the element most desired
Farming under irrigation is the near
est approach to sure thing yet dis
covered. Some question of chance en-
tiers into almost every business CAL
culation excepting into the combina-
tion of good soil, and good water.
Given these two, and mans note is
paid, his credit Is established and his
bank account Is assured. irrigation is
simply putting enough water OH the
growing crops, at exactly the time
most necessary; not too much and not
too little. That Is Notwithstanding
more and nothing less. Then, too, the
silt in the water fertilizes the soil
and renews it from year to year with
out either labor or expense. This nat
ural fertilization, and the exact
amount of moisture at the exact time
brings the greatest yield OF all crops,
doubling and sometimes quadrupllng
the returns over farming in the east
ern states.
Wheat, oats, barley, potatoes, sugar
beets, alfalfa, fruit, all vie with each
other in quantity and quality. The re-
suit is, farming by irrigation is IDEAL
and peace and plenty abound.
In comparing irrigation farming
With rainfall farming, the Wyoming
Experiment Station Bulletin on ifri.
cation says:
"The increase from irrigation Is
sometimes four-fold and seldom less
thar double. 1t is estimated that II
only one acre in four could be re-
claimed it would still bring the prod
uct OF the arid region OF the United
States up to the product OF the bal.
aEce Of the country"
The clippings furnished By us speak
for themselves, for they are the story
OF the contented and prosperous farm
ers of northern Colorado, whose lines
have fallen in pleasant places and
among whom discomfort is unknown,
and poverty never met with. 1t Is
probable that nowhere on earth are
there as many prosperous farmers as
In that section OF which Fort Collins
Is the center.
The building of the new bitches
and the cultivation of The new lands
In this Vicinity, together with the
erection Of the great sugar factory at
Fort Collins, open up new opportuni-
ties and provide place for new farm
ers, who have only to see and investi-
gate to appreciate the wonderful priv
ilege extended to them.
Which is the better Investment
buy eastern land at $50 an acre and
rent 1t at 50 an acre or buy Colorado
land at $50 and rent it at $10--the
eastern farmer gets per cent and
the Colorado man gets 20 per cent ON
his investment.
