the Greeley section for potato raising.
as its soil is better adapted TO growing
potatoes but that district must con

the maturity OF the crop"
He believes that within few years
Colorado will be known as 4 great po-

potatoes generally in Colorado will
mean competition for the Greeley po-
tato, but it will be mony years before
any section can rival this, where

The San Luis valley has 100000 acres
which, when brought under cultivation.
will make a great potato producing
