csbbses Growing In Colorado.

As the irrigated tracts Of land in
Colorado have become more thickly
settled. the price Of land has risen.
and with this the character OF the
crops grown has changed from the
extensive TO the intensive. That Is.
where \ few years ago farmers de-
pended on wheat. oats and hay as
their moneymaking crops. they have
found that at the present valuation
OF land In many places these crops
do not pay satisfactory interest.
This condition has forced the ex.
tensive crops to great extent TO
give place TO such crops an sugar
beets. potatoes, cabbage. and onions.
The culture Of these crops under
irrigated conditions Is different
problem from that OF the unirrigated
country. so that new comers may sav
considerable trouble and expense by
following the system which has been
worked out and found to give the
best satisfaction here.
Prof T.. X. Bennett. OF the Colo
RADIO Experiment Station, has prepar-
ed bulletin on Cabbage Growing In
Colorado which gives full direc.
tons for growing this profitable
crop In Colorado. including the prep.
aration OF the land. raising the young
plants, planting. irrigating. cultivA-
tion. harvesting. marketing. insect
pests. and diseases.
Prof. Bennett finds that the nv.
eraxe cost Of growing and market
Ing cabbage u $3.50 per acre. The
average selling price for ten year,
has been ass cents per hundred
pounds. the lowest selling price 25
cents per hundred pounds. and the
highest 75 cents. The actual yield
per acre Is from fifteen to fifty
thousand pounds.
The minimum yield at the average
price makes = xross return Of abou,
seventy.five dollars per acre. and q
net return Of something over forty
dollars. Thk year some fields near
Greeley have brought . gross return
Of S35S.:s per acre.

Many foreign seaboard countries

Even then the transportation ques-
tion had become the paramount issue
OF the day. Peter Cooper had built
the first locomotive in the United
States; transportation by steamship
was extending; tillage of the soil had
reached the limit of profit because of
the cost OF haul owing to the increas-
ing distance of plantations from the
sea coast and the paucity OF even fair
wagon roads; while the whole world
was waking to the possibilities OF
steam taking the place of the horse,
and the sweeps OF the flat boat men
