in the country In the matter of capacity
for spreading the gospel of alfalfa cul-
ture. He was formerly professor of Eng

tors told him long time ago that he
would have to get either close to the soil

Alfalfa a Basic Crop.
Alfalfa is the basic crop i'm western and

to The Bee Land Show writer Upon il
more than upon any other crop depends
the continued prosperity Of our immense
INLAND empire" What strikes me as al
most startling is the fact that so few OF
the farmers Of this territory appreciat Il
the significance OF the crop. II one con-
siders merely immediate production and
immediate returns from production there
Is more money to be made from growing
alfalfa than from any other crop that IN,
farmer produces II seems to me that the
reason why II is not more largely used il
that the average farmer is afraid 10 SOW
1t for fear that he may not succeed I'm get

10 been some ground for this fear but as ou
knowledge OF alfalfa growing has In

has disappeared.
I'VE now know that given proper seet
and proper tillage II is as easy 10 &c

OF oats or any other grain. My own per

taIns and Tunnels seen.

On the stage of the Auditorium is the
most interesting and popular exhibit at the
Land Show. The visitor on reaching the
Colorado exhibit sees before him minia
ture mountain range and irrigation system.
The panorama occupies space Of 100 feet
long and twenty feet wide, and represents
100 miles OF mountain range
This scenic piece was designed by f. L.
Morrison, a Denver irrigation engineer.
Il was constructed by August RENEE, who
has lived in Colorado Mr.. RENEE has
painted the mountains Just they appear
In June and July. For these reasons the
construction OF the irrigation system and
the formation and coloring OF the noun
tRins are as exact and natural as they
possibly can be
on the mountainsides and in the valley
are tiny houses barns, cattle and power
houses,
Running water flowing through canals
and lsterals In the panorama heightens
the illusion.

at .. a. 4. 3 and or . p m. every day by
