The corn crop surrounding EN-

planted last spring than hereto

bushels to the acre on an average.

one or two ranchers estimating
their crop at 100 bushels.
1t has only been the last few
years that corn has been grown in
this locality except in very limited
quantities, but more has been
planted each succeeding year till
now its cultivation has passed the
experimental stage and has been
thoroughly demonstrated that tits
one Of the staple crops.
The wheat crop which was SO
promising earlier in the season
did not thresh out as much as was
expected, still in most cases and
Especially where sufficient water
was to be obtained for late irrigat-
ing the yield was quite satisfac-
tory.
Alfalfa is making one of the
heaviest yields both hay and seed
that it has tor some time. On the
II. H. Tucker ranch in the valley
several miles below town there is
small field of alfalfa which will
make four cuttings this year.
Three crops have been harvested
snd are now over foot in height
at the present time. This field
will yield from eight to nine tons
to the acre this year.
The fruit crop is ais" yielding
abundantly, some of the finest FL
berta and Crawford peaches to be
found in the state are grown here.
A comparison was lately made be-
tween Palisade. Colo. peaches and
the home grown in which the for
mer were ourclassed on all points.
In size, color and favor the home
grown fruit was far superior.
This is all the more remarkable
considering the fact that Palisade
is one of the largest and most cele-
brated peach growing section OF

the fruit had not been thinned and
where proper training has never
been done
