Secretary Wilson'S Warning

Secretary of Agriculture, James Viii.
son, is man of deeds. When he talks
agriculture he speaks authoritatively.
He does not waste words in theorizing
but deals in facts. For several weeks
he has been on tour of inspection in
the west. Touching on agricultural
conditions in this part of the United
States he says:
| 'The sons of their fathers are, in the
west, already beginning the era of ruin.
In the corn belt and on the Pacific coast
the ways of the farmers of the east and
south, under which the older states are
failing to give fourth enough for the
people to live, are being reproduced.
"We are reaching dangerous con-
dition. The people who work in fac
tories, in commerce and on the farm
require more pay every year now be-
cause it is costing more every year to
live.
"The products of the farm have been
used every year since the civil war to
keep the balance of trade in our favor.
We are exporting less and less every
year from our farms because we are
not conserving their fertility"
Colorado has time to heed this warn
ing. The development of our agricul-
tural resources has scarcely begun, so
that residents of the Centennial state
can take precautions to see that the
EZRA of ruin" never begins. Secretary
Wilson has presented live topic. 1t
merits the serious consideration of
farmers oranges, commercial clubs and
every other organization that seeks to
increase the prosperity and aid in the
development of the west. Pueblo

One of the latest schemes for putting
land into commission is to get up big
public carnival, Portales, New Mexico
proposes to celebrate next week the
the opening of ten thousand acre pro-
ject in three days water carnival. A
special invitation is extended to visitors
to be there to see the pumping of the
irrigation wells which throw twelve to
fourteen hundred gallons of water min
ute The wells are operated by power
plant having two 750-horse power pro-
Queer gas engines, direct connected
electric generators. The electricity is
conveyed over seventy two miles of
transmission lines. An important fea-
ture of this celebration will be the auc-
ton sale of thousand acres under the
project. The festivities include bar
becue, basket dinner and sports. Now
that New Mexico is soon to become a
full feged state more interest than
ever will be manifested in its fine ir-
rigated lands.

Homes Open to Guests

The citizens of Cheyenne, realizing
that they must take care of the crowds
who will come to witness the great
Frontier celebration in that city, Aug
ust 24-27th, inclusive, have agreed to
open their homes for the accommodation
of the visitors. There is hardly fam
in the city who will not have one or
more extra guests, and hundreds of
them have agreed to place their rooms
at the disposal of the committee.
