gre tie IT newspaper circulation
campaigns ever inaugurated in the
state, the number and character of
the prizes making it exceptional
in opportunity for candidates striv-

gave the assurance that the CO.
operation of that end of Rio Grande
county would be given on anything
that had for its object the general
welfare of the valley.
The subject of Drainage" was
ably discussed by Fred d. Stanley,
of Alamosa, who recited some his
torical facts showing that the idea
is not new one but was employed
long ago by the Egyptians by with
drawing the waters of the Nile in
the reclamation of lands, and by
our English progenitors who first
landed here and drew living from
a forbidding soil. He said I'VE
seek Federal aid for drainage on
account of the fact that the farmers
are unable financially to carry out
the projects" Mr.. Stanley said it
is difficult to float drainage securi-
ties since they require the endorse
ment of a bankers association.
j. D. Stannard, of the RecIama-
ton Service, was called upon to
give some figures showing the
amount of water received annually
by the valley. He said that from
the three sources: natural streams,
precipitation and artesian wells,
between 100000 and l,OOO, 900 acre
feet was the amount of water find
ing its way into the valley yearly;
the amount varying, however, in
different kinds of seasons. Esti-
mating the total cultivated area as
100000 acres, this gives a little
over an acre foot of water per acre.
Prof. Frear, who is State Agri-
cultural agent, concluded the pro-
gram of the evening with an ad-
dress illustrated with stereopticon
slides. Preliminary to showing
the slides, he urged that the coun-
ties make provision for their share
of the salary of the valley agricul-
turist in order that the work already
commenced this year might be
continued without interruption.
Referring to the creamery business
and the raising of sugar beets in
particular. Frear said: at is to the
interest of the people to make a
success of any business which has
been started, as they will be judged
by their failures. | believe in
basing land values upon what the
land will produce and if proper
methods are employed and good
crops are produced, the land will
sell itself without the aid of circu.
lars. The thing that appeals to
me are meetings of this kind which
show that campaign, backed by
business interests, has been started
by the farmers to solve the prob.
lens which confront the valley
and they will be solved. 1t is no,
