College Land ordered Sold.

Denver-The sale of 5000 acres of
Montezuma valley land, belonging to
the State College of Agriculture at
Fort Collins has been ordered sold by
the State Agricultural Board. The sale
of this land which will be made by the
State Land Board is one of the larg-
est that has been attempted for some
time. 1t is believed that the average
price received for the land will be 20
an acre. This will mean fund OF
100000 for the state school. The
principal derived from the sale of this
land is kept intact and the Fort Col
Inns college receives the interest.

land board at the State house in Den
yer and went over the situation thor
oughly. An irrigation project, which,
when completed, will cost more than
