moisture. Rarely does the farmer
want all his ground wet at the same
time. Some crops thrive when
moist while others are spoiled by
the moisture. In an irrigated coun-
try, the farmer can always depend
upon dry sunny weather. and SO he
can regulate the exact degree of
moisture, exactly to suit any crop.
The very color and texture of fruits
and vegetables can be regulated by
irrigation. The irrigation farmer can
keep his crops growing until they
lave attained their maximum, then
shut off the water and ripen them.
He can make the wheat berries fill
fuller by watering when the grain
is in the milk, he can also in
crease the size of his fruit fifty per
cent by watering the trees at the
right time, but although irrigation is
so important. 1t Is neither hard TO
do, nor difficult to understand. A
Colorado irrigator plans his work
carefully, ge the wa er to the high
est places on his farm to begin with
then has easy down hill work to get
the fertilizing flow over every foot
of IL. The labor of irrigation is
equal to about one-half the time
the eastern farmer loses by bad
weather; and about one-fifth the
hard work he puts in on muddy
road. Many men have learned to be
skilled irrigators in less than one
month; there are few who cannot
master all the details of irrigation
in a single season. We have in the
vicinity of Hotchkiss. $4,000 acres
of tillable land and have a sufficiency
of water for 1t which is obtained
from the North Fork and the Smith
Fork of the Gunnison river, Leroux
creek, Cottonwood and other creeks
and a fine system of reservoirs.
These water rights are all owned
by the farmers.
All continuously successful farms
in Colorado are irrigated. Irriga-
ton is the connecting link between
the inexhaustable soil and the ever
lasting Sunshine. 1t makes the
parched desert bloom into a pro-
fusion of crops. II reduses farming
to a certainty; and assures
farmer of not only a certain crop;
but larger crop than can be pro-
cuced by rainfall alone.

this up, the regular issues contain
more local and county news.
The Independent presents ITSELF
not only this week, but every week
in the year, with the feeling that its
bright. clan pages are appreciated.
that the hard week of thought toll
and expense will bear fruit in the
interest of Delta county, and that
every property owner in the county
will receive benefits from it's publi-
cation, whether he be a subscisrber
or not.
Under it's present management of
more than three years the paper has
never cooled in it's argument for
the county of resources too manifold
and too amazing to at once describe.
The work of the paper has not
been without results. Property has
advanced rapidly. but not beyond its
merits. NJ uch capital has come in
for investment and wonderful de-
velopment has sheen accomplished.
The paper has no complaints
to make. 1t feels only qualification.
With its town mad county it has
grown until from bunch of junk, it
equipment is now up to date, even
to the setting and casting of its own
type by machine. Form two old and
worn out presses, it's office now has
half dozen new ones: from folding
its paper by hand it now does it by
machinery. Its circulation has in
creased 200 per cent. and its busi
ness has grown accordingly.
The people who have helped make
this possible by dropping a dollar in
its stsocking. will be remembered
as its friends. They and all. have
its hearty good wishes for a merry
Christmas and a happy New Year.
