1t requires no great prophetic
vision to predict brilliant future
for Prowers county in general and
Lamar. The past. in fact the indis-
putable rapid growth OF the last few
years would indicate that every
town in the county will become OF
Importance in a general way in
very short time.
Take for instance the Cache La
Poudre valley. the towns of Greeley
FIT. Collins. Loveland, Longmont.
and others in their immediate vicin-
ity. In 1900 the population of
Greeley was 1923. while the CEN
sus of 1910 shows a population of
5000. The population of FIT. Col
Inns in 1900 was 3O53. in 1910 over
800. The population of Loveland
in 1900 was little less than 100.
today it is over 5000.
The same conditions holds true
in regard to Longmont. and also to
Fort Morgan on the east In Weld
county, in particular, this growth
has been unusual. Such develop
ment is due to nothing else than
irrigation or the intense cultivation
OF farms under irrigation. The
growth of the cities above mention
ed and the springing up of many
new towns. now thriving little
cities, which were not in existence
ten years ago, are remarkable.
What has been accomplished in
that locality is but a prophecy of
what will actually occur in Prov
ers county in the next ten years.
As matter OF fact present con-
ditions in this county are much
superior to what existed in Weld
and Larimer counties ten years
ago. The two lines OF railroad
through this county. with their
established towns and with pros
poets of others to be established.
where now are only beet dumps
or sidings. give promise Of
more remarkable development than
mas alTeduy occurred III any othft
irrigated portion of the state.
The work done by the Payne In
vestment Company in 1910 in To-
eating nearly one hundred farmers
on as many farms in the vicinity
of Lamar is bound to be fruitful
of good to the county. The class
OF people who are locating are en-

be largely in the vicinity of Holly.

Many Profitable Crops

Not many farmers and stock
growers pay attention to truck
farming or to vegetable gardens.
but there is an immense profit to
be made In this line of work. Now
at Holly II. p. Wright raised
eighty bushels of sweet potatoes
on less than one-half acre of land.
This was in 1903. He sold his crop
for So per bushel, reserving some
for himself, but the demand was
so great that he sold his own sup
ply at $3.50 per bushel. He stat
ed recently that he could sell the
product of thirty acres to people
Immediately in the vicinity.
Judge Doughty of Lamar rented
some land to a truck farmer who
put in five acres of sweet potatoes.
He sold the crop for $3.50. or at
the rate of $3.50 per acre. 1t is
comparatively easy matter to
grow 200 bushels of sweet potatoes
to an acre in the Arkansas valley.
1t pays to rent land In the Ar
kansas valley. 1t pays both the
owner and the man who does the
work. providing he works hard.

rental of 81 to $40 per acre. Other

shares means one-half the alfalfa In
