nineteen miles in length Twenty-Five feet wide on
the bottom, thirty sever. feet wide on top and car
ries water six fe deep and has a capacity sufi-
cient to fill the reservoir in thirty four days.
The dam in the river and the headgates to this
ditch are built in the most substantial and latest
approved manner, at cost of over $, 600.
From this headgate It is nearly 100 miles up the
river to the next headgate for divertng water
For 200 miles up the river irrigated sections
using the flood water Of summer flow of the river
for irrigation.
Statistics compiled by the state engineer and
water commissioners from actual measurements of
the water in the river prove that from thirty to
thirty six per cent Of the water used for irrigation
seeps back into the rivers. This is why there is
always so much more water at the point in the
Platte river where the headgateS of the Julesburg
reservoir is situated than at Sterling, Snyder or
Orchard, and years go by and more reservoir
and flood water is used, this quantity will be in
creased.
This fact is in direct support of the claim that
the Julesburg Irrigation District has one of the
best, if not the BEST water supply, of any district
in the West.
Water rights from the South Platte river and
from the Julesburg reservoir 90 with all lands in
the Julesburg Irrigation Dis trict, and every land
owner is a part owner of the entire irrigation sys-
tem and every resident landowner has a voice in
the election of the officers and the management of
the bitches and all other property of the entire dis
trict. Here the maintenance expenses are always
bound to be at the lowest possible mark, as it is
not necessary to make profit for any private
company or corporation, but just levy for the
actual expenses of operation, you own the prop
erty yourselves This is a very important point
that should not be lost sight of in choosing your
future location for home or the investment of
your capital

What irrigation has done for other parts of the
DWest it has done for Sedgwiclz County and no
where can the wonderful results of this mode of
farming be to better advantage than in the
Julesburg Irrigation District, which consists of
81 800 acres of level land with as rich and fertile
soil as can be found in the West.
Without trying to bettle other irrigation dis
tricts of the state of Colorado, want to show by
comparison that the ,Julesburg reservoir is second
to none.
The Juesburg Irrigation District reservoir has
a capacity of 2s,429 feet of water, while the
Greeley Irrigation District in the valley of the
Cache La Poudre river in northern Colorado has %
reservoirs with total capacity of 9S, 42l feet
of water. From this it can be that the Jules
burg district with reservoir to look after has
more than fourth and less than third much
water is found in the entire 25 reservoirs of the
latter district.
In the valley of the Big Thompson river also in
northern Colorado, there are IA reservoirs supply
ing water to that district. They nave capacity of
&c. 749 acre feet of water which, compared to the
capacity of the Julesburg reservoir, shows that the
latter has twothrds much water in one reser
voir as is contained in the IA reservoirs of the
former district.
In districts where they have but one reservoir
such as the districts supplied by the King reser-
voir in the Arkansas valley-their capacity cannot
/ compare with the big water supply Of the Jules
Z burg district. The King reservoir has capacity
OF but 49, 279 acre feet which is less than thirds
the capacity of the Julesburg reservoir.
The Julesburg reservoir according to the state
engineer-has the best bottom of any reservoir in
the state. The water rests upon soil which is un
deraid by a deposit of gypsum, which, by contact
with water, forms cement, nsuring practically no
loss of water after it is contained in the
voir The reservoir is located at elevation about

farmers received as much as 42 bush

winter wheat averaged 26 bushels to
the acre, with the largest individual
crop giving returns of 55 bushels to the
acre. Spring wheat on the irrigated
land gave yield in the same proportion
to the winter variety, as did the table
land.
Sugar Beets-The raising of sugar
beets is a most profitable occupation in
Sedgwick county, the average yield be
ing IL tons TO the acre; some growers
getting as many as 20 tons to the acre
on irrigated land. The beets bring
$4.75 per ton and are easily produced.
Corn-This product returns from 90
to SO bushels per acre and is of the
best quality.
Oats-The yield of oats on the table
land in 1907 averaged 80 bushels to
the acre, while the big crops went so

land IS bushels was the average, while
the prize crop was 80 bushels to the
acre.
Alfalfa-In the irrigated district al
falfa can be raised at big profit.

Of four and half tons to the acre,
and it brings $500 per ton in the
stack. On the table land alfalfa gives
returns from two cuttings Of two and

at an average Of 20 bushels to the acre,

Sedgwick county has an area of 544
square miles and is located in the ex-
treme northeastern corner Of Colorado,
and as the land within its boundaries
is developed, it is becoming known as
one of the best agricultural sections of
the state. Each year sees many farm
ers leave their homes in Iowa, Illinois,
Indiana and other states and come to
Sedgwick county to take advantage of
the many wonderful natural resources,
healthful climate, ready market, good
prices for farm products and where
land can be purchased at low price,
where crop failures are unknown, and
where, by irrigation, rain can be had
when it is wanted, water being stored
in the mammoth Julesburg reservoir in
quantity sufficient for all the needs of
= farmers within the irrigation dis
On the table lands wonderful results
are obtained by what is commonly
called "dry farming" but it is not
dry farming, the moisture being fur
nished by nature and where irrigation
is unnecessary. The crops raised on
both the irrigated and table land
caused the eastern farmer a great deal
of surprise, but any statements made
here can be easily proved with very
little trouble.

Potatoes are raised in Sedgwick
county that are unsurpassed for size
and quality. During the year 1907 the

The products of this county find a
ready market at Omaha, Denver, Chey-

bring as good or better prices than is
realized by the farmers of Iowa and
illinois. Excellent shipping facilities
can be found at all of the towns of the
county, and the products are growing
in size each year, and the time is not
far distant when Scdgwick county will
rank among the leading counties of
the state in the production of the above

Apples, peaches, cherries and all
kinds of small fruits and berries do
well in this climate and the farmers are
putting in orchards in great numbers
Berries of all kinds can also be raised
