SHEEP FED ON PEAS.
What the Industry is Doing in
the San Luis Valley.

Statistic show that in the SEA-
son OF 1901 there were only
about l.590 lambs mtrrneJ in the
valley ny Lifting them run upon
fields Of peas. in the early winter
months. ThrueNt year the num-
her reached some 1Gom. The
year following the shipments of
futteued laulbs aggregated 5000
head. whil.this years shipments OF
finished lambs reached over lNo.-
OOo. The Chicago market was
topped number OF times by the
San Luis valley pea fed lambs and
they are greatly preferred TO the
alfalfa and corufed product.
1t is foregone conclusion that
at least half a million lambs will
be fattcucd in the valley this year,
there being tremendous acreage
Of land seeded to peus and the
outlook for an immense crop
couldn't be brighter. As is now
well known by our farmers. field
peas grow readily and yield abumd-
antly on land which is old and
practically worn out from repeated
groupings of small grain, and be-
ing an air-feerlcr. the pea crop
leaves the soil full of nitrogen and
produces "A vigor to the land equal
to new soil in fertility.
Thus it will be noted that the
development Of the sheep feeding
industry in the San Luis valley
has not only afforded our farmers
another source of revenue but has
operated to make valuable thous-
lLds of acres of land which has
been deterioruting in value be
muse of the want of fertilization.
The growing of peas and the
'attening of sheep and hogs is an
industry destined to bring more
vcnlth and fame to the San Luis
ALLEY and her farmers thau the
wonderful gold mines have to the
camp of Cripple Greek and her
people.
