corn could not be successfully grown at
an altitude above 5000 feet, besides the
nights are too cool. This has been thor.
oughly refuted by growing from thirty
to forty two bushels of corn per acre at
an altitude ranging from 5000 to 6,S0C
feet during the past five years.
Henry Hunter of Walsenburg caps
the climax by raising forty bushels of
corn to the acre in 1904 and twenty five
to forty bushels in 1905 at an altitude of
$500 feet without irrigation. When we
consider that the highest average yield
of corn in the state OF Illinois for any
year during the past twelve years was
only forty one and one hale bushels and
the highest average in Iowa during the
same time was thirty seven and one half
bushels, it is apparent that Colorado
may yet be classed as one of the corn
growing states. Scattered over the east
ern portions of the state are numerous
farms reporting thirty five to fifty bush
els of winter wheat per acre. In some
instances these very high yields of wheat
have been in irrigated districts, but
above the ditch other cases were reported
this season OF large yields of sugar beets
without irrigation.
The writer also learned from the chem
lists at some Of the sugar factories that
ter was found in beets raised above the
ditch by scientific soil culture
Dotted over the eastern portion of Col
orado there will also be found numerous
orchards grown entirely by scientific soil
cultivation without irrigation; orchards
that would be a credit to any eastern
state. In size and healthfulness Of
growth, no irrigated orchard can excel
them.
We simply mention these few facts in
order to strengthen the force of our as
sertion that the future possibility of
eastern Colorado in an agricultural way
is unquestionably beyond the compre-
hension of anyone who has known to
some degree its past history for fifteen
or more years.
Nature does much to help man in Col
orado. When man fully appreciates
these facts and does as much to help
nature, the vast prairies so recently con
demned will support millions of prosper
GUS and happy people IN thousands of
beautiful farm homes.
The business of Denver, of Colorado
and of all the nation depends upon the
development of your agricultural inter
ests. The expansion and stability of
your agricultural interests depends upon
a healthy public sentiment with refer
ence to farm lands, farm homes and gen
eral farm interests. This public senti-
ment scars high or drops low in proper
ton to the apparent profits and pleasures
of what is produced from the soil.
1t needs no argument to prove to the
observing mind that all other branches
of science are steadily improving and
broadening, that in the manufacture of
all articles the cost is being cheapened
and the quality increased. These same
principles apply to all agricultural pur-
suits and most emphatically to that all
important question OF soil culture. Moth
ing affords me greater pleasure than to
note the fact that our thinking people
are beginning to realize that soil culture
is the one great fundamental principle
upon which successful agriculture is
based

The big Fourth of July celebration
held on the state fair grounds under the
auspices of the fair association is to pro
vide funds for the Alfalfa palace and
six or seven other new buildings, which
in the great enlargement of Colorado's
annual exposition will be needed to
properly keep pace with the expansion
of the enterprise. The state fair has
made wonderful strides since receiving
legislative support from the state gov
ernment, but its development along ex-
hibitional and educational lines threat
ems to outgrow the buildings provided,
large and adequate as they seemed a
few years ago. 1t is gratifying to note,
however, that the fair management is
meeting the situation in a manner to in
sure extensive improvements in the
buildings and grounds. Undoubtedly
the Colorado state fair at Pueblo. Sep
tember IA to 10. 1908, will be the great.
est, most entertaining and instructive
exposition ever held in the state. Prob.
ably many of our readers will be inter
ested in exhi biting and as the premium

A surprise and shock came to the
American public last week when the
news of president Grover Cleveland S
death was made public. Mr.. Cleveland
had been in poor health for two years,
but his death came unexpectedly even
to his family. While president Mr..
Cleveland made a record that will stand
for all time. Many of his official acts
were the objects of severe criticism, but
he stood firmly back of them all and in
the few years since his retirement from
public life many of those who criticised
him had lost the bitterness which they
once felt toward him, and his death was
sincerely mourned by all.

An Alfalfa Palace at the State Fair

1t has remained for the Colorado
state fair of 1908 to do proper homage to
alfalfa-that wonderful plant which has
perhaps more than any other form of
vegetable growth, laid a firm foundation
for Colorado's prosperity. The state
fair management is planning to erect
big Alfalfa palace for the fair to be held
September IA to 10. In this building,
which is to be constructed almost en-
tirely of alfalfa, there will be extensive
alfalfa displays and interesting charts
OF information, statistics, etc. regarding
this most valuable forage plant.
