Paul N. Rams, who was injured

the Latter arrested and punished
for the injuries sustained, also had
civil action, but before the case

IRRIGATION.
Irrigation is the applying of
water from the rivers or reservoirs
directly 10 your lands when the
crops require the moisture. Our
section of the county draws its
waier supply from the Arkansas
river which drains large area of
tie mountainous section Of Colo.

from the river in large canals and

CROP.
When we came TO this valley
and built our Rocky Ford factory
il the fall of 1899. we made the
statement that an acre OF baets
could be grown aud harvested for
$50 Farmers now tell us that
the estimate was conservative and
that the cost generally does not
exceed S25.
Farmers huye frequently real
lied over 500 per acre and large
numbers of them received from
$50 to 500 per acre.

Grains of all kinds do we'll in

Several farmers this season got
100 bushels of oats per acre and
40 to so bushels OF fall wheat per

sunshine and soil peculiarly
adapted to the melons give them
a flavor in this valley that they
do not get anywhere else in the
United States.
The 25,O0O lambs being fattened
by the farmers in the valley will

ing the fertilizer for next years

LIVE STOCK AND FEEDING.
The farmers of this section have
found it very profitable to keep
live stock
There is probably a better
chance in the towns along our:
valley for dairymen than in any
other section that ron might find.

Many farmers feed lambs and
fat'en them on pulp and alfalfa,

with "a little grain: this has left n
good margin on the feeding and
the manure has been of very
great benefit to the land, increas-
ing the yield of the crops probab-
ly 40 to 80 per cent. Hogs also
do very well on alfalfa and grain,
are easily raised and find ready

CHANCES FOR LABOR.
Our factories begin operation
in the middle of September and
continue until all beets are sliced;
during this time We employ in the
two factories 800 hands and in the
beet fields thers are twice that
number employed.
When the factories are not in
operation hundreds of families are
employed in the cultivation of the
beet crop. Much of this work can
be done by women and children.
thus giving employment to the
whole family.
We would espe ecially call the
attention. of the farmers and their
families to the labor contracts that
can be made for the hand work on
the beet crop. The farmers are
willing to pay stipulated amount
per acre for the punching, thin.
ming, hoeing and harvesting of
their beets. The work is such
that II man and his entire family
can do it and the remuneration is
very good. Tne work comes at

He did need the money, sorely, more

each other in an important life insur-
ance case at Salem, Mr.. Ives for the

anxious to put into the case certain
aftidavits, and Mr.. Ives was equally
strenuous in opposition.
After lengthy arguments the Judge
decided in Mr. Thompson's favor, and
he proceeded to read, with much en-
phasis, depositions relating to surgi-
cal treatment, death, funeral and last
the interment OF the insured.
AS Mr.. Thompson finished reading

case.'' !
Again, in sentencing man to a
comparatively light punishment, he
used these words:
