IMPRESSED With
ARKANSAS VALLEY
With Which No Place in the
Country can Compare
AeRIcvL1ukIsTs
Well Posted Men Will Lend AID to
Placing Arkansas Valley ON
Agricultural Map

81 have travelled extensively over
and through the different valleys of
this country between the Pacific coast
and the central states, but none OF
them compared with the Arkansas
valley OF Colorado as far as l can de-
termine," said J. Z. w. Tracey, of
the de-artment of Plant Industry Of
the government, who has been spend
ing a few days in the Rocky Ford sec
tion looking into sugar beet condi-
tions.
MIR. Tracey is one OF the foremost
men in the sugar beet and seed work
in the country. and annually makes a
trip through this as well as other
sections OF the west, in the interests
of his work, gathering information
and data for the government. Dur
ing his stay in this section he was
shown the experiment station of the
American Beet Sugar company To-
Gated near the factory where sugar
beet seeds of all description have
been planted on various kinds of soils
to determine as nearly as possible the
relative worth of each kind on those
soils. Different fertilizers have been
used on tracts, also. -
Another distinguished agriculturist
visiting this district was J. d. Tins
ley. agricultural demonstrator of the
Santa Fe railroad for New Mexico.
who is visiting Colorado for pointers
on intensive farming. Both Mr.. Tins
ley and Mr.. Tracey mentioned par
ticularly the wonderful prospects Of
this valley from a diversified farming
standpoint. mentioning the fact that
nearly everything can be raised here.
while other sections cannot do it.
That condition. bringing about as It
does proper crop rotation means
much to community.
The orchard business in the valley
was mentioned by both gentlemen as
being something that was evidently
being overlooked here, and as busi-
ness that would pay we'll. They did
not recommend extensive orchards,
but suggested that further colonial
tion OF the valley would lead to each
farm being the possessor OF small
orchard. and owing to the success
with which most any crop was grown
here. saw n bright future in store for
the valley in small tract farming.
During their stay here the agricul-
turists were shown about the district
by Mr.. FIR. Wictzer, manager of the
local sugar factory. and were accom-
panied by several local business men.
The result of Mr.. Tinslcy's interest
in the Arkansas valley is bound to be
widespread. as he is looking over the
grounds looking into possibilities of
colonization for the colonization de-
rartment OF the Santa Fc road. as
well as looking aftef. agricultural sug-
gestions. His department is a part
of the colonization department of the
railroad. and his suggestions. If acted
upon will undoubtt iiy be of great
value to this community.
When two men as well posted on
possibilities from agricultural works
as they arc impressed with the val
ley. with its diversity of crops. its al
other crops. then it is highly probable
that the Arkansas valley is coming
to be on the map with much rapidity.

Soon Have Weekly Rest Day

Rocky Ford Postal Employes VIII
Soon Have Weekly Rest Day
The Enterprise is this week in posi-
ton to authoritativsly announce that in
the very hear future the Rocky Ford
postoffies will remain closed all day on
Sunday and. Is a result Of the movement
announced in this paper last week. the
employees will before long bs able 70 en-
Joy their W ..ly rest day the same ss
other toilers.
Petitions requesting the closing Of the
Rocky Ford postoffies on Sundays were
on Wednesday being circulated amongst
the businessmen and citizens as well as
upon the rural routes. and with very few
exceptions the people expressed thsm-
selves as heartily in favor Of the move
ment. In few scattering instances only
was anyone found who refused to attach
his signature to the petition and even in
these cases the dissent was feeble. so
that il Is confidently believed that within
few days Postmaster Lance will be
able to forward to the department at
least 1000 signatures to a petition pray
ing that our postoffiee be closed on the
Lords Day.
On next Sunday morning the ministers
Of the several city churches have prom
ised to address their congregations upon
the subject Of Sunday observance with
special reference to the closing Of the
postoffiee. and at the close Of the service
everyone Of voting age. who has not done
30 will be invited to sign the petition.
This will close the campaign and the
monster petition will shortly after be for
varded to the department with the post
masters endorsement, which is tanta-
mount 10 its approval.
