Why Take Stock in the Demos.
tration Farm.

I2tlOn F8Im.
Had we no other than Il selfish
motive every one should take at
least one share of stock in Sedg-
wick County's Demonstration
Farm. for it can be made tinan-
cial success but there are other
reasons.
Compared with other counties
in the State Scdgwick is sparsely
settled. We want more farmers
and if we are to have them.
if we are to encourage them to
come here we should do our share
toward helping them make a sue
cess after they get here. One disa-
pointed farmer can do more harm
to the county than half dozen of
us can over come. Last week IL
party from Colorado Springs Vi
sited the famous Parsons farm in
Douglas County 20 miles south
of Denver and here is some OF the
things they found:
Mr.. Parsons has loo acres under
cultivation.
The normal rain fall is less than
IL inches.
Since Jan. lst. he has had but
three inches of rain fall but in
spite of that he drove an augur in
to the mulched ground and he
pulled it up covered with mud a
soil 20 per cent saturated and this
at an elevation of 5000. feet.
He came to Parker in 1886 Il
poor man and now values his farm
at $50. 600. but it is not for sale.
He has tons of cherries. grapes.
currants. thousands of half grown
apples.
% acres of fine corn.
IL avn,s OF fine cane.
