of the water rights. Much of the new
land offered to settlers, both by the
government and bv private parties, is
land newly irrigated by the construc-
ton OF very COSTLY dams, reservoirs,
tunnels and fumes to put the water
on the land. These water rights ev-
cry buyer should look into. 1t is
matter which is not in the least diff
cult to understand. The right to
take water from stream for, irriga-
ton is as much propersy as the title
to real estate. Once established, such
a right cannot be destroyed or taken
away. The first canal built on any
stream has the first right to water
from that stream, to its full capacity
as first constructed; the second ca
nal built has the second right to its
full capacity, subject always to the
right of the first canal. The twentieth
canal from a stream can have water
only when the rights of the nineteen
that went before it have been salts
fed. Position on the stream, wealth,
the size OF the ditch nor anything else
can affect this rule. The United
builds a canal or reservoir, has no
better water rights than its order of
Appropriation entities it to.
1t is not possible for any person to
obtain a true idea OF any new country
from descriptive writing. The only
safe way for any man who contem-
plates Colorado investment is to|
come and see for himself what the
land is like, what sort of climate and
crops, prices and conditions, fit his
means and tastes. To genuine home
seekers the railroads make low rates
the year round. They also, grant low
freight rates for families and house
hold goods. A wide range of choice
tural lands lie from 1000 feet to 5000
feet above sea level. In some valleys
ten acres is all man needs to se-
cure a competency for himself and
family. In others eighty acres or a
quarter section is needed. The price
of land follows the area necessary. A
A quarter section of good land in the
higher valleys can be bought for S4,-
600 Quality and location fix the
price.
Successful farmers in Colorado are
most of them socialists in some few
lines. In one locality, the main crop
may be potatoes. and the other crops
wheat, oats or alfalfa-are simply
parts of thee rop rotation. In other
sections, the sugar beet is -aramount.

Slope, fruit has the right OF way. In
the higher valleys the field pea now
reigns supreme, being used as stock
food. hogs, sheep, cattle, dairy cows
and other stock animals being fed and
fattened on the stems and grain. The
man who plans owning Colorado
farm should inform himself of the
various specialties suited to the var
ious olcalitics. and he can then
choose tina. kind of farming which
best suits his skill and fancy. 1t is
foolish for a man to buy fruit land,
worth S2so an acre, and plant it in al
falfa. And it is equally foolish for a
man to buy land for $40 an acre. fit
ted best for grain or alfalfa or gen.
eral farming, and plant it in fruit
trees.
