1t is only fair to state the truth

that is that they take from the soil
a smaller amount OF fertilizing eIe-

In thinking over different PROPOSE
tions that would rebound to the good
and welfare OF La Junta. was i'm
pressed with the possibilities OF set
tling up the land under the Fort
Lyon canal, north of town, commenc-
ing at the headgate and extending
as far east as Horse Creek-a dis
tance of sixteen miles,-all of which
Is tributary to La Junta. The far
thest point from the city in this rar-
ritory Is about eleven miles. and
ninety-fiye per cent OF the people
living there trade in the county seat.
Here are at least 1900 acres OF the
bes land in Colorado, all watered
from the Fort Lyon canal. which.
with It's early priorities and Its 190.-
600 acre feet of reservoir water. Ia
one Of the best bitches in the val
ley. Any crop that Is adapted to
this country can be grown with sue
cess. The past year proves this.
1t was the dryest year in the his
tory OF the Valley, and yet bountiful
crops were grown under this canal
with the reservoir not more than
one-fifth completed.
Take this 1000 acres OF good land
land place 200 to $50 families on it.
la family on each forty to sixty acres
and then take the land nearer the
lcity and divide it into five. ten and
twenty acre tracts, which would add
possibly another 100 families. and II
would mean about 1000 more people
TO clothe and feed, and buy farm
Ing implements. and La Junta would
get all the trade resulting from the
colonization OF this land.

hge. We can put down wells and
