Irrigation by Pumping.

The whole state will watch with in.
teest the experimentation as yet It is
only an experiment-whicht the owners
OF some 10000 acres of arid land are
about to make to irrigate the tract with
water brought to the surface by pump
ing.
The limit Of this kind OF irrigation
seems to be only the supply Of water
which the pumps may lift. This is
greater in some localities than in 9th.
ers. In some there may be no avail
able water at all. Homeseekers should
not take too much for granted. But
there is reason to believe that there Is
In the aggregate n large acreage east
OF Denver which may be reclaimed by
this means. 1t may easily exceed the
entire area-two million acres-now
under irrigation from bitches in this
state.
That the experiment may mean much
Is evident: for land irrigated from
pumps calls for intensive cultivation,
which In turn means great density OF
population. For this reason there are
greater possibilities In the success Of
this venture than in almost anything
else which In recent years has been
suggested as a means for utilizing arid
lands which cannot be reclaimed by or
dinary methods Of irrigation. It
should be borne In mind. however.
that In its present stage 1t is only an
experiment. No one should build upon
It as though its success were already
assured.-Denver Republican.

wv. L. Monroe in Denver News.)
The daily press in the larger. cities
and the newspapers in the beet-pro-
ducing district are urging that peti-
tions be forwarded to our senators
and congressman for the retention OF
the present tariff on importa-
tions of sugar. because q re-

yeloping the sections OF the state
where 1t is established. attention Is in
vited to q crop OF much more impor-
tance to the state as a whole and OF
more importance In the beet districts
and that crop is good old alfalfa-the
backbone and mainstay Of agriculture
and stock raising In this state.
Without alfalfa there would be no
sugar beet industry-nor any other
agricultural industry-in the state
worth the name. When the cream Of
the fertility has been skinned from
the soil In this state-which is effect
ed in . very few years-there is no
practical way Of restoring 1t except BY
seeding tie land to alfalfa or the ap-
plication Of manure. As the number
Of animals fed and the amount Of ma
nure made depend principally on the
tonnage Of alfalfa grown. It can be
reasonably claimed that the mainte-
nance Of the fertility OF the soil In
this state depends primarily on nj.
falfa. Two or three crops of sugar
beets In succession are all that can
be safely and profitably grown on
piece OF land without restoring its
lost fertility.
There are few crops that SO quickly
and thoroughly exhaust the soil AZ su.
gar beets. Not 80 with alfalfa-the
longer 1t occupies the ground the more
It adds to its productiveness. While
comparisons are said to be odious. they
may be instructive. The 150. 900 acres
OF sugar beets grown In this state last
year brought the growers $4,000. 900.
Excluding rent OF land and expense Of

them. The refuse molasses and pulp

cost 100000 to psoduce It. It was
sufficient to winter 100000 head Of
