TWO BLADES OF GRASS INSTEAD OF ONE

Recently about every spare from the il
sve of garnerng enough round dollars
has been devotng energy and brain solving the problem Why
that much ve? The Congress grapped with
very much of grand stand play-bu High Cost bat
ted The many remedies suggested remind very much
OF the countless for re1mais1n-hey work in
but this particular is different.
Right off the bat salaried people their raised
that pay the increased of living But plainly this would
help the situation ultimately because if further increased the
OF manufacture the manufacturer must again raise his prices
and would be back again where started
tangible of solution has been sprung by Mr. William C.
Brown president of the New York Central Railroad the current
The Independent wherein he suggests that the remedy for
the present high cost of living to get out OF the land I'VE
have been failing lately in agriculture Mr. Brown During
the last farms have produced yield OF wheat
amounting only bushels to the acre.
Browns solution looks good for evidently if make
blades of grow where only growing the
per pasturng will of necessity become cheaper
In line with this thought is well worth while to turn to the
Importance of irrigated lands Last years report OF
the United States Department of Agriculture shows that the average
yield of wheat per Iowa. Kansas Nebraska Wisconsin and
Minnesota about 1914 bushels per acre. while the average yield
Colorado bushels and this
sderaby lowered because dry farming acreage was taken into the
general of record irrigated lands yield
age of about 40 bushels of wheat per
show average yield of bushels
large producing states show
age of S3H bushels per
relative production per shown in other
things that ea.
1t seems the irrigated fertile fields of the Rockies
hold the solution of the High Cost of Living problem
In great West there irrigated lands for
families widespread interest
have beneficial effect on our national development and
happiness.
Why should people go the inhosptable climate of Canada
irrigated glorious climate of the West here
for seeking?-Red Book.
1T IS TO hoped view of the low mark the streams OF
western Colorado people the Cattle creek and Spring
Park sections have realized the value of reliable water rights
will take steps provide themselves with
rights thing which if had been accomplished long
county, plan outlined by Manord W. Smith of Aspen over
giving that whole section Of country adequate water
supply through storage but far know moth
ing talk and but little of that has resulted The writer OF this
correspondence with number of monied who are
finance feasible irrigation projects when the people ready
them but these people do not to fight tor the privilege OF
developing any other high time for the people
with poor rights with rights realize that they
should up doing along this line for the opportunity that is
be forever The Post hopes
the sake of the whole country that Mr. Smith else
may bring successful issue plan by which
that splendid potato alfalfa country above referred to
may successfully and permanently watered 1t might be well
for of ncmen remember that with water as with know
ledge of dangerous thing There lot of people
who have enough water barely get along with ana
enough enable them anything of
they fully realize that $40 $50 spent for
water transforms land now production
concerned into Soo per will longer pass
pomie to secure the water necessary effect TINS
THE POST being fair the extent of
