FARMERS SHOULD NOW GET DOWN TO BUSINESS
Nothing be Gained by
Drainage and Reservoirs Act and Secure
the Desired Results

The proposed drainage and ir-
rigation district southwest of Ala
mosa will, when the improve
ments are completed as suggested
by The Courier for the past
several weeks, produce annually
for the owners of said land not
less than $40 per acre more than
at present. These figures are
conservative, for all well know
that with plenty of water on
well drained land-land with
proper soil condition-the net
cash return is above $40 per acre.
Scores of our farmers, who are
fortunate enough to own land
with natural drainage and who
have ample water, are making so
per cent. more than this amount
on their wheat, oats and barley,
and often several hundred per
cent more on potatoes especially
when the price is right and this
condition exists four years out
of five for San Luis Valley pota-
toes.
But even at the figure of 500
per acre, the 100000 acres would
produce an extra annual in

Natural Advantages of
This Most Favored Place
BY FRED D. STANLEY

1t is not unlikely that some of
the subjects herein touched upon,
may form a subject to be specif-
ically dealt with at later period,
but for the purpose of aiding the
investigator in his study of the
San Luis Valley, it might be well
to group a few general facts un-
der this caption, that they may
in a general way, become familiar
with conditions to be here met
with.
The soil in the valley will not
all come under the same class
ification, for we encounter loan,
sandy soil, gravely soil, and in
some locations adobe, as well as
mixtures of one or more classes
with the other, but it was the
writer's privilege to hear more
than once, Prof. Cottrell, for
many years connected with the
The La Jara chronicle., 1911-06-02

company of local men, including
farmers and business men, entire
ly familiar with the territory,
have raised capital, and are now
sinking for gas and oil, by the
use of the most modern apparatus
and the best talent that can be
secured.
The judgment of these men
in seeking to make commercially
available both gas and oil, and
thus add another tremendous
resource to the great San Luis
Valley, finds ample support
through the endorsement of
engineers skilled in this line of
pursuit.
Should experience demonstrate
that both gas and oil, or either
a'one, only await the skill of the
operator, the San Luis Valley far
mer starts in his race for wealth
at the three quarter pole, for he
has the best of producing soil,
healthful climate, pure water, fuel
and light, all nature s products,
within the limits of his own en-
closure, for as the valley is
symmetrically formed basin, it is
reasonable to assume that the
formations beneath it are like
wise similar
Lest the reader of this article
may conjecture that the opinions
of the writer are colored by in
terest, let it be known that this
is an impartial record of facts
open to all, and that no business
or pecuniary interest links the
author with any subject concern
ing which he writes.
Coal is near at hand although
no mines are known to exist in
the ranges that surround the
valley, but at Canon City, and
Walsenburg, both near by towns,
coal is extensively mined, so that
the fuel cost in the valley is not
a serious item, but will be re-
ferred to again under another
topic.
Water for both domestic and
agricultural use is ample, and is
a natural product of the valley,
for drinking purposes through
its artesian flow, and for irriga
tion purposes through the melt
ing SHOWS that furnish the supply

TIRE expense OF drainage, ana
purchase or construction of the
necessary reservoirs to furnish
the lands of the proposed dis
trict with certain water even in
the dryest years or seasons.
Then why not get busy and start
after these improvements. If a
man does not prepare his ground
and plant the seed he will never
harvest a crop. If we do not put
this land in shape to produce, it
will continue as it is-a chico
waste and alkali flat, an ex-
pense to its owners rather than
source of profit.
Two years is plenty of time
in which to construct the pro-
posed improvements. Why not
this year and next. Let 1911
and 1912 be the years in which
we shall transform the lands trib-
utary to Alamosa into first class
farms. This improvement will add
30 per cent to the present total
production of the valley. 1t will
add 80 per cent. to the present
area of properly cultivated lands
o. the valley and more than so
per cent. to the total output of
the entire valley. All this for
the simple and very patent reason
that the soil conditions will al
ways be right under a system of
drainage and a plentiful water
supply insured by reservoirs.
We might write on forever
about drainage, seepage water
and reservoirs; soil moisture, air
drainage, etc, etc, and you might
still look out at the grease wood
and chico and aIkali flats, wish
ing the while that conditions
were changed, that this vast vol
ume of land were at once drained
and watered just enough, but
naught will come of all the writ
ing and all the wishing unless
action is taken. Hence, we are
going to recommend, if you live
in the district of this proposed
improvement, that you call at
this office, talk the matter over,
tell us i you favor the PROPOSE
ton, and leave your name and
the numbers of the land you own
BY this means we can soon deter
mine whether we are to evolve
the San Luis Valley into one
productive field or whether that
duty is to be imposed upon our
children and grand children.
The reward will be worth the
effort. One years crop will prac-
tically pay for it. So bring in
the numbers of your land and let
us start a campaign of actual con-
struction, of actually doing that
which means more to the valley
than all the wishing and theo-
rizing can accomplish in cen
tury. ~
The man with the courage of
his convictions is the one who
succeeds. The man who knows
what is necessary to do and does
it, is he who turns the wheels of
progress.
Now is your opportunity to do
something for yourself, your
family and your country. Come
in.
