SECRETARY WILSON
DELIVERS ADDRESS
Discusses Agricultural Questions
IrrigptiOR, Panama Canal and
Other National Problems
TELLS how Grubb
Gets What he
Goes After

Wednesday afternoon Secretary of
Agriculture James Wilson spoke to
about 500 people at the Glenwood Ho-
tel corner and had 1t not been rather
disagreeable weather there would
have been double the number. Mr..
Wilson confined his address largely
to national issues as they applied to
Colorado and told his hearers of the
accomplishments of the adminstra-
ton of which he is a member
Eugene Grubb introduced the speak
er, who was followed by Judge D. c.
Beaman, of Denver, Conrad Schaffer,
spoke upon state issues which are of
great importance at the present time.
The speech of Mr.. Wilson, which
was one of the best ever listened to
in Garfield county, because of the
condensed facts contained therein, is
given almost in, its entirety as fol
lows:
Ladies and Gentlemen, Citizens of
Colorado
1t gives me great pleasure to meet
you men of the mountains here on
your own streets, surrounded by the
eternal hills, and see all the wondrous
and beautiful things that men Of the
east can see in Colorado.
| have always had an interest in
your state aside from the fact that it
forms one of the sovereign states of
the Union; | happened to be in Wash
ington at the time Colorado was ad-
mitted into the Union, and | had the
honor of helping to make her state.
Whenever | get the opportunity | visit
this young giant of the states of the
west and whenever it is possible for
me to say word that will tell what
Colorado has accomplished and what
she hopes to accomplish in the future,
you can rest assured that | am not
backward in saying that word.
While | am interested in the min
ing and educational development of
your state, | am of course, more in
terested in those things that come
more directly under my supervision.

her agricultural and live stock inter-
ests.
These interests. notwithstanding
your magnificent mineral resources
are fast outstripping the interests of
your gold and silver mines and while
your mines will yield up their wealth
for hundreds and thousands of years
yet to come the agricultural resources
are fast becoming and will always
remain the real bulwark Of your pros
perity and future development.
Farseeing men in recent years have
urged that the income from public
lands should be used for the damming
or the great rivers OF the west, like
those that flow by your doors, SO
that the water that now goes down to
the Gulf Of California and Is wasted
In the brine Of the ocean, may be
turned over your arid lands that they
may blossom like the rose
From my standpoint, as one who
hears from every section Of the coun.
try. whether north, east. south or
west. this question Of the arid lands
OF the west has a peculiar Significance.
1t becomes question whether
your land, that still retains all of its
original plant food, none of 1t having
been washed away by food or rains,
is not better and superior to that
land Of the east and the Mississippi
valley that has been washed by the
of ages and has accordingly lost Ii. 1ch
OF its original purity.
| am convinced from my study that
there is nothing the matter with that
land that lies from the 18th meridian
west to the Pacific ocean, but there
is something the matter with us that
we do not make use of its possibili-
ties. Wherever you see the cactus
growing you can say assuredly that
something else will grow there that
will be of use to mankind, and the ex-
periments that are now being carried
on by the agricultural department d.
ment stations will enable us to find
out what 1t is that can be grown
there. | say there is nothing the mat
ter with the hill side, but the matter
lies with us that we do not make use
of the hill side.
Much of your land can be irrigated,
nd 70 hot Il, 4
the only problem is one of determin-
ing the best way to irrigate it, and to
make the best use of the land after it
Is irrigated. But in the language of
the irrigating farmer, there are thous-
ands of acres of land above the ditch,
that can never be irrigated. We do
not propose to turn that land into
desert, and say that it shall forever
remain uncultivated. There are
plants that can be grown on it and
we will find them. Last year we went
to Russia where we found a grain
that will thrive on land where there
Is but ten inches OF rain fall. We Sc
cured the seeds Of that grain and
transplanted it to this country 1t
was planted in some of the northwest
ern states and this year there will be
thousands Of bushels Of 1t reaped by
the farmers who planted It, Now
that grain can be grown in Colorado
above the ditch, you have a rain fall
VI more than Ieh inches there.
When the uniformed easterner
comes to Colorado from a district
where there is from thirty to forty
inches Of rain fall. he Judges things
from conditions as he has known them
but l say 1t is impossible to Judge
Colorado save by Colorado conditions,
The Glenwood post., 1904-10-22

the national irrigation law, that Is on
the statute books is largely due to the
personal endeavor of Theodore Roose-
welt who knows the west and its peo-
pie and appreciates that there is a
vast empire west of the Mississippi
river.
A few words about domestic ami
mails. Here in Colorado you have
nothing that is distinct in animal hus-
bandry, but you should have, and
with what has been accomplished
during the last few months we have
been able to go to work In that direc-
tion, and we are at work. In a few
years you will have horses, cattle,
sheep and other animals that will be
the best Colorado can produce for
the reason that they will be bred

The question of building Masonic

more slightly and remunerative. This
