Granada, Colo. July %, 1907.
During the last three years have
sold my sugar beets for from s75 to 800
IN acre, and this years crop promises
to surpass any I have ever raised. /
have sold my cantaloupes for more than
500 per acre.
Our alfalfa, which we grow in such
abundance, is no doubt the best forage
crop grown today. Our teams can do
the work with one-half the grain feed
where other hay is used. 1t is also un-
surpassed rs hog pasture. am now
pasturing 45 hogs on two acres, have
moved it once this year and it needs
moving again. When first came here
bought 40 acres, but now have 100
acres and would not sell it for $3.50 an
acre, as think land that produces as
this does is worth more money.

can raise more than double the crops,

water rights are good, and we have
more water than we can use. The res
