sPUDs ARE KING IN MONTE VISTA
Eishty-three Dollars an Acre Average
Profit on San lujs Crop

Monte Vista, Colo.-Potato digging
is just about finished here. and the
astounding number of 100000 bushels
were raised this year in the territory
contiguous to Monte Vista. Two thirds
of this enormous crop have already
been shipped to Eastern and Southern
markets and the other third will be dis
posed of within week
No trouble whatever has been eXpe.
rienced in finding a market for San
Luis valley "spuds," and in many sec
:ions of the East and South they com
mand q premium over the world-re-
nowned Greeley potato.
Five hundred thousand bushels is
100000 hundred weight, and, taking
present price OF so cents per hundred
weight as an average price, it is read
.ly seen that the crop is worth $24O,-
700.
Nearly s25o,OoO has been added to
the wealth of the farmers around
Monte vista from the sale of this, mi
nor crop; for, Notwithstanding its gi-
Gantic proportions, this must be con
sidered minor crop iii view OF its
small acreage, as only about 1000 of
the 100,0 900 acres of farmable land
within twelve miles Of Monte Vista
Vista We're planted in potatoes this
year.
One need not be dreamer" TO see
that the San Luis valley has latent pos
siblities which. if properly developed,
would make 1t potatoraising territory
unsurpassed in the world.
AS to the profits realized this year, it
is seen from the above figures that the
average :,ross income from an acre OF
potatoes is s120. The average expense,
Il.
of the work himself, but hires it all
done, has been calculated to be S37 per
acre; thus it is seen that the average
profit. clear of al! expenses, to the San
Luis valley potato raiser for the year
of 1907 is $50 per acre. The original
cost of this land is but $50 TO $50 per
acre Not much wonder that the land
investors are arriving In Monte Vista
By the hundreds. Land like this will
not be on the market for an average of
$40 per acre much longer.
A few representative crops are given
below:
George Cole has the large yield per
acre yet reported: OF of four acres
lie raised 1926 bushels, or 574 bushels
per acre. which. when sold. netted him
/, profit of about $3.50 per acre.
E. C. Wright had in seventy acres,
which netted him profit OF Sl2o an
acre, clear of all expenses. And this
on land which he paid $50 an acre for
about year ago.
Zinser brothers had in 130 acres.
which yielded $4,000 bushels. or $50
bushels per acre, which netted them a
clear profit of nearly 500 per acre.
]. S. Campbell sold s2,i65 worth off
OF an cighteen-acre field.
Tom Johnson raised 1000 bushels on
four-and-a "a half-acre patch, These,
when sold, brought $7l6, or sl59 per
acre gross.
