COLORADO FARMS
AND PROSPERITY.

Although mining is now and pro5a
bly, always will be the chief industr,
of Colorado, upon which all the othei
factors of production are more or less
dependent. agriculture is increasing
In both relative and absolute impor
tance at a rapid rate.
The estimated value of our agr
cultural products during the year. in
cluding fruit. sugar and wool, was
s47.100.l00. To a large extent this
product found a market within the
limits OF the state and its sale was
mainly due to the demand in mining
camps, Thus the prosperity of our ag
ricultural and horticulture has taken
a direction which enables a larger
percentage than formerly of the pro,
duct to be marketed beyond the limits
of the state. This is particularly true
of fruits. melons and potatoes. and
also of sugar. Colorado wool has al
ways found a market outside the state
and this Will continue until wooden
manufacturing is established in this
or some other Colorado city.
Closely associated with agricultural
as intensive farming" by which is
meant that kind of cultivation which
from the character of the crop pro
duces relatively high yield per acre
1t involves also relatively high per
centage of labor. thus restricting the
area to which one man can devote
attention. II is illustrated in the pro-
duction of sugar beets. melons. fruits.
potatoes and vegetables. Colorado
melons are sold from the Rocky
mountains 10 the Atlantic coast and
even beyond the Atlantic in European
markets. Greeley potatoes are mar
ketcd in Texas. Oklahoma, Kansas
and Missouri and while sugar beets
ere sold to local factories the refined
sugar finds market all over the
west.
The products OF intensive farming
being of high value in proportion to
weight. may be sold in distant mar
kets. and 1t is This which opens the
prospect that makets far beyond the
limits of the state will be found for
our surplus above what is consumed
al home
To what extent agriculture of this
kind may be developed depends chief
ly upon the area of land that may
he adequately watered and maintain
ed. in fertility by rotation of crops.
But 1t is already evident that It will
be practicable to maintain larger
population per square mile in our ru-
raj communities than in most OF the
states where irrigation is not prac-
ticed and climatic conditions are less
favorable to the production of fruits
and vegetables of superior quality
Thus for many years to come our
farming lands will become more val
liable. and the value of the total agri-
cultural and horticultural product will
be increased. Colorado agriculture
will never he independent of mining,
but il will play an increasingly i'm
portant part in the development of
the state and the maintenance of a
prosperous and contented population.

THE DEMOCRATIC CONFESSION

-, Yesterday attorneys representing

county appeared before the supreme
court and asked that the order made
few days ago that the registration
books as well as the ballot boxes, be
examined be modified so that the eX
animation OF the registration books
would be excluded. They further stat
ed that in case the order were not
modified Mr.. Adams would ask leave
to withdraw his petition for an inves-
tigation of the ballot boxes.
This is confession on the part of
the Democrats that they dare not face

late election and an examination OF
the registration books, which We're

ined the result would show such
wholesale frauds and violations OF
the election law that the Democrats
would be deprived of all shadow Of
defense in connection with the late
election and all hope of being able TO
recover their lost ground by the com
mission OF wholesale frauds in future
elections They would rather sacrifice
their dwindling hope of seating Mr..
Adams than cut off all hope not only
of seating him but of carrying future
elections by frauds similar to those
committed in November.
To the public this should come as 4
