been called a desert.
The products of this vast area would

Some idea of the income of the
orchard owner may be obtained of fruit
growing at Green river and Palisade.
They say that they have received $l,20o
for the yearly crop from an acre plant
ed with peach trees, and from 500 TO
$500 from the melons and cantaloupes
grown between the rows of trees. This
would mean from 81 400 to 81 500 an
acre every year. With five acres of
such land a fruit growers income
would be greater than that of bank

by the beautiful, modern homes of the
up-to-date fruit growers.
But water wheels could not supply
enough water to irrigate thousands OF
acres of orchard land, and the Green
River Mutual Irrigation company was
organized to build the first of the three
large pumping plants. This plant is
operated by water power. The water
is pumped to forty and ninety-foot
levels, and from there carried to the
orchards through bitches.
At Elgin there is a steam power
plant which carries the water to a
fOrty-foot level.
At Peacharosa there is another steam
power plant which lifts the water to
twenty-five and forty-foot levels
The old orchards have proved the
productiveness of the region. New
orchards are now being planted as rap
idly as possible. By next year all the
land reached by the present irrigation
bitches will be planted with peach. ap-
pie and other fruit trees. That means
that in four years the Green River dis
! trict will be in the high tide of its
prosperity, as it takes four years for
a peach tree to commence to bear, and
nearly all of the. land is being planted
with peach trees.

yet with the luxuries to which they
have been accustomed.
j. Edward Taylor, secretary of the
state board of horticulture, who has
visited the Green river country, says
that the climate and the soil are ideal
for fruit growing. He is preparing
report on the region.
THE soil at Green river is fertile
and easily handled" he said. 1.-The hills
which surround the valley protect it
and make it the ideal place for peach
growing"
At Green river there are now $4,000
acres os land under water, that is,
supplied with water from Green river
for the purposes of irrigation.
500 acres reached by I've water
u1IcheS.
At Peacharosa there are 1000 acres
with an abundant supply of water.
The river divides Peacharosa and Ell
gin from Green River, the shipping
point on the Rio Grande railroad. At
present there are two ferries one to
Elgin and the other to PeacharOSa.
There are also several boats operated
with gasoline engines. AS the travel
to the railroad shipping sheds will be
heavy in a few years, when the newly
planted orchards begin to bear, 1t is
intended to build $4,000 bridge over
Green river to connect the two portions
of the fruit district. The fruit grow
ers will unite in urging the next state
legislature to appropriate the money

for building the bridge. 1t has been
proposed that if the legislature will ap-
propriate 1000 for the bridge the
fruit growers will raise the other Slo.-
600. One thing is certain the fruit
growers say: The bridge must be
built. 1t will become absolutely
necessary within a very short time, for
the Green River country will become
a thickly settled region in which each
inhabitant will live in five or ten
acre orchard domain, near enough to
his neighbors for all the pleasant social
intercourse of city, yet with all the
seclusion of the country; with all the
freedom of pastoral life, and with all
the money making possibilities of an
office in skyscraper.
The methods of getting water upon
the land in the Green River district
are interesting. In the beginning, the
early settlers along the low lands bor-
dering the river used water wheels
These were successful and the settlers
were comfortable and prosperous. They
hewed down the trees lining the rivel
banks and built log houses. many OF
which are still standing as memorial:
