moth pearl pototoes and on hops.
Sugar beets, certain fruits and vir-
tually all vegetables can also be
raised with marked success, but
the great discovery is that live
stock, especially hogs, can be
raised with phenomenal success
and fattened on field peas.
The field pea cannot grow in a
warm climate, but can Withstand
considerable frost. 1t is exceed
ingly nutritious and supplies nit
rogenous rather than exclusively
fatty elements, SO that the hogs
fattened on peas are particularly
fine for bacon and hams. Pea-fed
The La Jara chronicle., 1907-09-13

hog products are destined to lead
the corn-fed product and the fu-
ture of the Denver packing indus
try is closely bound up with the
San Luis valley development in
hog raising.
All kinds of live stock can be
raised in the valley, but the pea
fed hog promises to be to the state
what the potatoes of Greeley, the
lambs of Ft. Collins and the melon
of Rocky Ford are now, only more
extensive and widely beneficial be-
cause of the packing industry it
will feed.
Denmark has played an impor-
tant part in the worlds industry.
The San Luis valley has as large
tillable area as Denmark. Den
mark sells SlS,OOO,0O0 worth of
bacon to England annually, and
keeps 2,OOO,OOO cattle besides. The
San Luis valley with its field pea,
has better opportunity to pro-
duce bacon, and, being under ir-
rigation, has surer crop in every
way.
1t is hard to make the opening
in the hog raising line apparent
without seeming to minimize 9TH
er fine opportunities.
Prof. Cottrell, the great author
ity on animal foods, pronounces
the valley the best place he knows
for raising cheap grains for a high
quality of meats. Baby beef and
lambs as well as hops, he states,
can be raised to the best advantage
there, and he predicts that exper-
fenced stockmen will soon fill the
valley and turn out not only
100000 hogs, but large numbers
of calves and lambs.
The irrigation possibilities are
particularly rich. Not only is
there the great Rio Grande to
draw upon, but the valley abounds
in artesian water and flowing wells
are plentiful The water available
from these wells is marvelously
pure and utterly inexhaustible.
Taken all in all, there is ample
reason to keep an eye on the San
Luis valley, a region destined to
be one of the great sources of Col
orado's future wealth.

A portion of Colorado which
promises to bring this state as
much fame agriculturally as the
Greeley, Rocky Ford and Grand
Junction regions and for an even
wider range of Incompatible pro-
duction is the San Luis valley.
Every one already knows that
the Colorado climate appears in
delightful form in this valley and
the scenery there is transcendent
even in this Switzerland of Amer
lea, but its remarkable agricultur-
al achievement and promise are
far from being understood as they
should be. In fact the valley is
spoken of as having been ''redis-
covered but few years ago be-
cause new possibilities of inestim-
able promise have been recently
understood.
That the San Luis valley could

value of irrigated farm lands in
the San Luis valley has led to
the projection of several reservoir
plans, designed to save water from
the winter and spring flows of the
rivers for use later in the summer.
The first two of these to approach
completion are located west of La
lara on the Alamosa and La Jara
rivers. 1t is expected that they
will be finished this fall, work
having already progressed beyond
the initial stages. The Terrace
reservoir on the Alamosa river
will have, when completed, a ca
pacity of nearly 10000 acre-feet.
The impounding dam of this res
ervoir will be the highest dirt fill
in the world, being 2l1 feet high
and 1,O55 feet on the base. 1t fills
a gap in the canon 40 feet wide
at the base and 600 feet wide at
the top. The enormous bulk of
earth is being washed in from the
mountain side above by means of
hydraulic power and is packed sol
idly in place by the action of the
water. The flow of water from the
lake will be regulated by valves in
"A tunnel cut in the solid rock.
The La Jara reservoir, with con-
crete and masonry dam, has ca
pacity of 1900 acre-feet. These
two reservoirs, it is estimated, will
provide for township and half
of land. The distributing bitches
have already been constructed.
and about 1000 acres of ground
were irrigated and in crop in the
season of 1906.
Other reservoirs which will prob
ably be placed under construction
within the next year or two are the
Elk Creek and Mogote, taking wa
ter out of the Conejos river, and
having a combined capacity of
1900 acre-feet; and Santa Marie
lake on the headwaters of the Rio
Grande river with a capacity of
1900 acre feet. The reservoir
project near Garland waters 5000
acres. These reservoirs will add
at least $4,000 acres to the area
of land in the San Luis valley ca
pable of intensive cultivation. The
price of land with water rights
from these storage basins will
range from S45 to S75 per acre,
and this land will yield net about
S25 per acre per annum if proper
ly farmed.
1t is six hours ride on the San
Juan division of the Rio Grande
railroad from Pueblo to the cen
ter of the San Luis valley, and no
other part of the state outside of
the Arkansas valley is SO closely
allied with Pueblo To one who
is acquainted with what has been
accomplished in the region east
and north of Monte Vista, the pos
sibilities of the valleys develop
ment seem to be almost illimitable
and the whole valley might easily
support a population equal to the
entire present population of the
state. Such IA development of
wealth and population would mean
much to Pueblo. and the people of
the Arkansas valley should neglect
no opportunity that can strength
en- the bonds of acquaintance, bus
mess and friendly cooperation
with the people of the San Luis.

AVAILABLE FARMING LAND.
The problem of the San Luis
valley is not whether crops can be
raised successfully, but the amount
of land. that can be brought un-
der cultivation. There is no ap.
parent reason why any one acre
of the 100000 included in the
valley, Connecticut 3,1OO,S00
acres) is any better or more fer
tile than any other, but the amount
of land that can be brought under
cultivation depends primarily up
on the water supply, and second
arily, strange as it may seem, upon
drainage.
The natural water flow of the
San Luis water shed is abundant.
The Rio Grande, Conejos Ala
mosa, La Jara, San Luis, Sa-
guache, Trinchera, Culebra and
numerous smaller streams, with
the supplementary artesian supply,
give total volume probably suf-
ticient to irrigate all the level land
of the valley. Two obstacles stand
in the way.
In the first place the govern
ment of the United States, instead
of furthering the development of
this region by every means in its
power, as it ought to do, has un-
fortunately allowed itself, through
the mistaken zeal, obstinacy and
ignorance of minor officials and
of some higher ones-to be placed
in a position of opposition to the
wishes and the fair rights of the
people of the San Luis valley, and
the interests of Colorado.
AN UNDEvELoPED EMPIRE.
With favorable or even toler-
ant policy on the part of the gen.
eral land office, and with reason
able legislation from the general
assembly, practically every one of
the 100000 acres of the San
Luis valley will be brought under
cultivation, without any deroeation
of Mexico's treaty rights or any
injury to the people of the Rio
Grande valley outside of Colorado.
On the contrary, there is every
reason to believe that the cultiva-
tion and population of this vast
plain at the source of one of the
great rivers of the continent will
result in such modification of
the meteorological conditions that
the flow of the river, without DIM
unition of its annual total. WI be
regulated TO the advantage of all
water users down the stream. If it
were proposed to establish a great
reservoir in the San Luis in order
to insure the river flow, the feder-
al authorities could not consistent
ly object to such an enterprise.
Such will be the practical effect
of turning the present arid plains
of the San Luis into orchards and
gardens.
