VALLEY ALL RIGHT

In our opinion tne man VINO mas
een an actual resident of a farm
hg community for a number Of
esrs and who has made a careful
tudy of conditions is the real ex-
bert and we would take his judg-
bent in preference to all the book
babe farming scientists that ever
ame out of the technical schools
The following is taken from the
IA lara Chronicle and may be
hken as authority:
Homer Neel of Romeo was a
isitor in La lara Monday. Mr..
|sel has been in the valley about
birteen years, coming from the
Brseley district, where he had
he'd about twelve years. During
Is residence there he has farmed
large acreage in a most success
way and is thoroughly familiar
ith the subject in all its many
bases. In the course of brief
hterview Mr. Neel said that he be-
sved that the future success of
agar beet culture in this district
|@ assured. Individual beets of
l'ge size proved that they could
grown. Better fertilization of
lssoil, deep blowing and more
'eful culture will bring about a
'ger and better crop. Mr.. Neel
pike of a field near his house at
omeo which yielded IS bushels
wheat to the acre this year. But
the fact that waste water from
feating his lawn had been al
wed to run into the field, pro-
icing a slight rust, he thought
eyleld would have been 80 bush
TO the acre. Mr.. Neel said that
NIB good farming such yields
0uld be the rule and not the ex-
'p'lon. He spoke of his exper-
nee in northern Colorado when
AZ country was new and said that
same conditions prevailed there
'en as prevail here now. A con-
All cropping of the ground with
putting anything back into the
0und' Discing in the crop with
blowing, ect., resulting in foul
CHS and light yields. Conditions
we been corrected in that district
'aey will be here and every acre
we San Luis valley will be a
"uclng acre. 1t is a pleasure
meet and talk to Mr.. Neel, for
@a genuine booster.
