Ell PASO COUNTY JUDGE GETS
LESSON IN DRY FARMING

Judge w. l.. Cunningham has brot
out two points regarding dry farming
in this RECON that should be taken to
heart by every reader plow deep and
don't use two much seed. In making a
trip over the old Colorado and South
ern road recently, the Judge who is a
booster for the dry farming congress,
saw field of rye near Elbert that stood
up superior to anything else on the line,
so he wrote to Alfred Peterson, the own
er, and asked him how he did it. Here
is the farmers letter to the Judge and it
is so simple and direct that it strikes
right at the root of the matter;
Ebert, Colo, July 5, 1911
Mr. l.. W. Cunningham.
Dear Sir In reply to your letter
conserving the rye east of the railroad
track, will try to explain how we solve
it. We plow about eleven inches deep,
in March, the ground being in corn last
last year We sowed about so pounds
of seed to the acre. We narrowed the
ground well before and after seeding
The field was sowed with a disc drill.

of April. Yours truly,

ARE MAKING FARMERS
RICH AND PROSPEROUS

Elbert Countys dairy products aggre-

innate OF the Chamber of Commerce af-
ter careful study of the situation.
There are eleven milk stations in the
county for receiveing and pasteurizing
the product: creameries at Elizabeth
and Elbert, and a cheese factory at Ell
bert.
Most OF the dairy products goes to
Denver, some to Colorado Springs, but
a great deal 10 eastern cities. The lat
ter conld be built up to vast proper
tions. A car of dairy products worth
thousands OF dollars each leave the
towns of Ebert and Elizabeth each day
in the year. The Chamber of Commer-
ce is preparing huge paiper mache
COW to be used at the Dry farming ex-
position at Colorado ST. rings next fall
to advertise Ebert County's dairying.
This is an ideal dairy co untry and
someday will be famous throughout the
world. The grass is rich and plentiful
the climate just right for good stock
raising and the rainfall sufficient to
raise all the forage crops needed. 1t
was noted grazing country in the old
open range days of the west. AT the
present time 500 head of cattle are ship
ped out OF the country every year.
The land has been held back by big
live stock interest and more recently by
spectators. 1t is Just now coming into
the hands of developers, and dairying
seems its natural destiny 1t is estima-
ted that milk cows running on grass
pay 81 to SO per month.
