Irri @ation, briefly stated. is taking
water rom . river or reservoir and
turnin 1t into . canal, and thence by
smalls canals or laterals, applying 1t
to the land. While we have productive
soil. 1t is the never failing supply of
water that does the work. No wait
for-rain-and-don't-Eet t-it-farming here.
We do not have to depend ON rain; /;
in other words, we control the ele-
mentsTthe irrigator is Independent Of
rainfall. We have the water at our
door. and at the proper time Use It.
Besides. the soil becomes richer az 1t
grows older from fertilizing sediment
deposited on the soil while irrigating.
Irrigation also increases the yield. in
some cases being double of that Of
the best Eastern farm lands depending
ON rain for life. A man can make more
money. with less labor, from forty
acres Of irrigable land than can be
made from eighty acres of the best land
in country depending on rain. Irri-
CATION is not complicated, and your
more experienced neighbors will glad
ly show you-it is no longer an expert
ment with us.
In the matter of irrigation, the
country tributary to Holly has 4 dis
tinct advantage over any other part
Of the Arkansas Valley and indeed
there is probably no other section of
the West where such irrigation facili-
ties exist as here. The FIVE huge res
ervoirs built by the Great Plains
Water Company contain sufficient at
all times to furnish the farmers under
the Amity Canal with all they require

Fecnirements for the successful culti-
vatioa oe this valuable product.
The Sugar Beet Industry of the
United States 10 comparatively in its
INFANCY. Few people realize what an
important part this unpretentious veg.
etable Is destined to play In the future
prosperity Of the country. 1t alone can
solve the great economical problem:
onaii this country produce the 2.225.-
w tons OF sugar that are consumed
nere every year. and thus keep at
nome the immense sums OF money rep
resented by the present Importation?
Until the fact that sugar beets could
be raised to perfection under irrigation
had been thoroughly demonstrated,
capital was extremely cautious about
Investing $1,000. .OO0 In q plant that
would probably lie Idle much of the
time ON account Of crop failures.
Ihere were too many dangers to be
considered. Excessive rains In the
spring are liable to rot tho seed. A
drought may hinder their coming up,
or later may stunt their growth. Fall
rAl9fs might induce q second growth
anAs suwer the percentage of sugar. All
these discouraging features are over
oo1ns TO great extent in irrigated dis
tstcts, and capital now stands ready to
doubae the number OF factories In the
ArkAnsas valley as soon as there is a
ssGctent amount of beets raised to
warrant 1t. There ia positively no
grumbling heard among agriculturists
who raise beets for the factories now
running. 1t matters not In what Sec
tt0a the farmer is located, he has the
same advantages as II he were within
hauling DISTANCE of the factory. The
Santa Fe railroad delivers the beets
from any station in the valley without
extra cost to the grower-the drst case
On record where the farmer doesn't pay
the freight.
The phenomenal success Of this in
dustry under irrigation is not entirely
due to- the fact that the water supply
can BE- controlled by the grower. but
partly due to the direct action Of the
suns rays upon the leaves Of the sugar

THE SANTA FE ROUTE.

The Santa Fe Route, the GREATEST
railroad in the world for helping to
build up the territory it reaches.
passes through the center of the Ar
kansas valley. We are located on the
main line OF this road between Den
YER California and all points east s4a
south, affording our farmers facilities
for reaching the best markets Of tAs
United States. The liberal policy pur-
sued by this road In years past to.
wards the growers and shippers aioag

that we have decided advantages u

SEES AND HONEY.

Bees and honey is another impor-
tant industry in the county that il
closely related to the thousands OF
acres of alfalfa. in the bloom OF which
the honey bee finds a never failing
supply of his raw product. The bee
and alfalfa naturally 60 together as
they are both creatures of sunshine.
and neither can do well In rainy, damp
weather. The continued sunshine of
Colorado gives both an opportunity to
do their best, and the rich white honey
produced from the alfalfa blossom is
recognized as the finest in the world.

PRICE OF LAND.

Land in the Immediate vicinity OF
the towns are now selling for 975 to
500 per acre. Lands just as good but
further out are selling for $40 to e75
per acre, including improvements:
this is for the land and water right.
Lands can be bought for q small cash
payment down aad deferred paymeAts
running over seven years bearing In
terest. in most cases not over six per
cent. Lands can be rented GU good
terms for growing beets. alfalfa, truck
and general farming.
In conclusion We will say that there
are thousands of farmers in the mid.
die states who could come to Colorado
and make dollars where they are now
making cents. This is no boom coun-
try and we do not have to exaggerate
the facts to prove that the Arkansas
valley soil is the greatest wealth pro-
ducing soil on earth. II man wants
to do ordinary farming such as is done
in Illinois or Indiana. he could do that.
If he wants to raise sheep he can util-
ize the public range In connection with
his home ranch. and will make money.
II he wants to grow beets, he can make
more clear money from ten acres than
he can from the richest eighty acres
of Illinois soil. II he wants to raise
melons and vegetables. ten or twenty
acres is all he needs to clear several
hundred dollars per acre. II he wants
to. raise bees, there's no better spot
in the world to do 1t and the profits
are large. II there is man who
works by the day and wants to change
his location, there is not better state
In the Union than Colorado. All COM
mon day laborers In Holly receive
$1.75 per day. This answer to many
inquiries about the country is the facts
as they exist. They have not been
colored In order to induce people to
come here for thct never pays. There
Is room for thousands of new people
In the Arkansas valley to help develop
its vast resources. and we firmly be-
lieve that every man who comes here
and gives his best efforts to his work

or at ali. but he will prosper.

While large profits are made by the

with apples. pears. peaches, grapes.
Strawberries, and other fruits. the most
profitable fruit product is the Rocky
Ford cantaloupe. These melons find

the United State and Europe. and on
account Of their superior flavor and
