| He spoke of the necessity of the
agricultural colleges of the country,
speaking and advising his hearers to
let their children learn more about
the planting and cultivation Of differ
ent seeds and let the higher parts of
arithmetic and mathmetics take a
back stand to let successful farming
take their place
The question box in charge of w. P.
Morrison proved very interesting and
many questions We're asked and an
swered during the assembly.

the entire allotment of land, and
one acre is equally as desirable as
another.
Two Buttes creek has a pre-
cipitous water shed of more
than 500 square miles. Applica-
ton for the reservation of this
land will be opened about the 25th
of January, this month.
The reservoir itself will be OF
sandstone with rock bottom and
rock walls. Construction will
begin Immediately upon Mr.. Ban
croft's return, both on irrigation
system and the new toWnsite.
Splendid Homes
IL is expected that this land
will furnish splendid ana remun-
eratiVe homes for hundreds, for
here Is no more fertile or better
farming land in the west. Un-
der the Carey act lnaho has re-
claimed more than one and three
quarter millions OF acres OF land.
This enterprise means mcuh to
Gnis section and is of inestimable
value to Lamar. 1t means work
Tor all and homes for the many.
1t is vast undertaking, but the
men behind it assure its compile
UIon. Chicago financial institu-
ions have already agreed to un-
lerwrite the bonds at Mr.. Ban
eroft's solicitation, who pesonal-
ly has financed the undertaking
thus far. From now on, upon
MIR. Bancroft's return, the work
will be pushed with vim. 1t is
indeed a most auspicious begin
ming that Lamar makes for the
beginning of the new year in the
launching of this great irrigation
project now successfully on its
way to fruition.

Tract OF Land Under Carey
Act-To Be Opened JuIy 1st.
A half mi!lion-dollar enterprise
is assured for Baca and Prowers
counties. Incorporation papers
nave Just been filed with the
county clerk by The Two Buttes
Irrigation and Reservoir COM
pauy, with a capital stock OF
P600,000 The following are the
men behind the vast undertak-
ing of the new company:
Lincoln Bancroft, president;
[. S. Reed, vice president; w. D.
Purse, secretary and chief engi-
neer, and H. H. Eberle, treasur-
er.
This company has contracted
With the state to irrigate $4,000
acres in southern Prowers and
northeast Baca counties, and
he state has made application
% the government to segregate
that amount Of government land
under the Carey act.
This will be the second OPEN
ing in Colorado ttnder the Carey
act. The other is in Routt Co.
Work will begin at once. The
formal opening is hoped for on
July l, this year.
Under the Carey act any citi-
zen of the United States over q
years of age can file on 40, 80,
l20 or 100 acres as they desire,
regardless of any other rights
they may have used. They will
pay so cents per acre for the
land and $35 per acre for the
water. The cash payment at
he time of filing will be 25 cents
per acre for the land and SIS per
acre for the water. The balance
to be paid in ten yearly install
ments of So per acre, and 25
cents per acre when proving up
The project is in gigantic
scope. The water will be i'm
pounded in a huge reservoir in
the Two Buttes canon, Just south
of the Two Buttes mountains,
and will be held by a dam 102
feet in heighth and costing more
than 100000. The reservoir will
hold O,000-acre feet of water,
when full, but as the company
has only applied for $4,000 acres
of land lit is the intention to
give one cubic foot per second
of water for each S0-acre tract.
The reservoir, when full, will
hold water sufficient for two
years irrigation of the entire
tract. As there is always plenty
of water in Two Buttes creek,
there is absolutely no chance of
drouth or dearth Of water.
With this large tract of irriga-
ted land added to the already
irrigated territory Of Lamar, it
will give this town prestige over
any other town in the state with
anything near like its agricultur-
al resou rces.
Employment to Hundreds
The work will give employ
ment to hundreds of men for
months to come. This place will
be the headquarters of the new
company. Pres. Bancroft is on
his way to Washington to COM
plete the final details relative to
the secretion of the land, and
the work will begin Immediately
upon his return within the next
week.
Unlike the water in this vicin-
ity drinking water free from al
kali can be obtained at depth
varying from eighteen to forty
feet. On the land itself there is
no cactus, not a growth of any
sort, save the finest stand of Buff
falow grass in eastern Colorado.
