Push Along.

We believe the formation of an irri-
cation district and the purchase Of
bitches and reservoirs at this time is
the sensible and only thing to do.
In that way you will have all kinds Of
water next year on the Bijou flats and
the best delivery bitches in the coun-
try. Three years ago we advocated
the same doctrine to the farmers un-
der the Morgan ditch, but the farmers
lost one year at least by procrastina-
tion. They could have just as we'll
had jackson Lake water last year as
this. So with the Bijou farmers, if
they don't act soon the chance for res
ervoir water next year may be impossi-
ble.
Land seekers from the east say they
would like to invest in Bijou land if
they we're only sure that the district
irrigation scheme would 60 through
They realize that there is no better
land on earth than Bijou land, the on

Crop failures in Colorado are rarely
heard Of. This is because they sci,
dom occur. The harvests are general
ly uniform in their abundance. Now
and then there may be a scant crop,
but oftcner there is a phcnomenally
large one. Consequently the avcrage
yield is very high. The secret of TIN,
is irrigation. Colorado adopted irri-
CATION as an agricultural necessity.
The arid nature of the climate render
ed farming almost impossible without
an artificial application of moisture.
Formerly irrigation on a large scale
was considered almost Utopian. In
sections where it is thoroughly under
stood, it is now not only considered
entirely practicable, but by some it is
locked upon as one Of the prime nece--
slties OF successful agriculture.-FOr

Value OF The Reservoir,


Within the past two weeks quite a
number OF Bijcu farmers visited Weld
and Larimer counties to see what was
doing in the way OF crop raising and
also to find out what assistance reser-
v"ir water was to crop growing, what
such water was costing the farmers
and the profits derived from the same.
The first party who went from here
were W. A. Dregman. j. E, Flamm,
J. w. Seifert, r. G. Orcott and S. II.
Shields. They drove from Greeley to
Pleasant Valley, Luccrne and Eaton
and from there to the Windsor reser-
voir. and asked the farmers they met
enroute what they paid for water, be-
ing generally answered from $4,000
to $4,000 per acre" Crops of all kinds
were heavy and in the pink OF condi
tion and enquiry brought forth the
universal answer that the growers OF
potatoes and sugar beets expected to
harvest an average crop valued at
$4,000 per acre gross.
This was just what the visitors
wanted to know and it made the Bijou
irrigation and Riverside reservoir
company's proposition look cheap and
feasiblc-only about $3.50 an acre for
a similar water supply that the people
of Weld paid $1,000 to 10000 an acre
for. Under present conditions under
the Bijou ditch land is worth only \
fraction Of the price received for no
better land in the above named coun-
ties. viz: From $4,000 to $4,000 an
acre. The only difference here is the
lack of water for irrigation and that
can be acquired by the Bijou farmers
for only $3.50 per acre, about one
third what the Greeley farmers paid
for their ditch and reservoir water
rights.
The second party to make the trib
were Senator Hill. J. ID. johnson, w.
W. Robson, John Odell, w. W. Rick
ell, Ed Aeon and X. A. Chace, this
week. They travelled over about the
same territory aud found the same
conditions prevailing as did the pre-
ceding party.
They we're surprised at the sytemat-
ic way cultivation is bsing prosecuted
in Larimer and Weld Counties and all
seem 50 think hat Morgan county can
keep up with the band wagon when
she gets started right.-Fort Morgan

canals. 1t was to the effect that there
are upon the surface of Mars various
indistinct lines and markings. which
were hardly distinguished apart. but
which. when viewed from a certain
distance, appeared to the eye In the
form of straight lines In support OF
this explanation he showed drawings
of Mars made by other prominent OBJ
servers, which were entirely free from
the so-called canals. These were, in
deed, due to the running together by
the eye of minute details. not straight
or symmetrical, but too small for the
eye. even under the best circum-
stances, to see them very clearly. Mr.
Maunder described an experiment he
carried out at Greenwich to test this
theory. Accurate drawings of the
surface of Mars, without the canals
were placed before a number of
schOolbOys, and they were set to COPY
them. The result was that most of
the resulting drawings showed canals
similar to those of Mr.. Lowell, owing
Mr. Maunder cOntended. to the nat
ural running together OF small spots
into lines when viewed at a distance.
