Dry Lands and Settlers.

a member of the state land board is
reported as saying that the representa-
tions land agents are making to induce
settlers to take up the government land
outside irrigated sections will work a
great hardship on the state. Maybe so,
but the land agent out for business has
never been known to cut down his stor-
les to any considerable extent for fear of
the future
In point of fact, there is every encour-
agement for taking up the unentered dry
lands of eastern Colorado and every
reason TO believe that those who do so
viii make money out of them in few
years There is some cause to fear that
some OF the settlers who do so will ex
pect greater and quicker results than
can possibly come. 1t is nature to do
that. There never was such move
ment started that there did not enter it
people poorly equipped for the under
taking and lily prepared to 20 through
the initial stage of privation. but thou
sands who have done these things, lived
out the time of the homestead law on
the lands and done such farming as they
could, have made themselves comfort
able homes, good livings and a valuable
tract OF land IN few years, it is possible
for these newcomers to do the same.
1t is not right for the land agent to be
settling on these lands poor people who
will suffer from their exaggerated ideas Of
what they are going to accomplish, but
there have been so many cases OF people
of almost extreme poverty made indie
pendently well to do in a few years
through this very thing that one is forced
to hesitate where to draw the line.
and if abe settler wants to be settled.
who is to deny him the right to do so!
1t is just as undesirable to discourage a
poor man who might win for himself and
family valuable home from settling on
the lands as it is to prevent suffering
Our guess is that it is matter that

ence or waste Of sympathy. We believe
that the Campbell system is going to

plow them properly, adhere to the prin-
ciples laid down by the successful eX-
perlmenters with proper preparation and
retention OF moisture, will average as
well on these dry lands of Colorado as
would the same farmers on the average
lands of the Mississippi valley sections
and that in the majority of cases the
settlers will better their financial con
ditlon'by residing upon the lands the
requisite number of years to secure free
title from the government. We are not
saying this to boom anybody's lands; we
