SALE OF IRRIGABLE LANDS IN WEST AND
SOUTH in UNPRECEDENTED VOLUME
BY CARL B. STOW

investments and realize that in
order to purchase farming land
that will advance in price, they
must go south or west, and | can
not help but think that if these
people who are going to other irri-
cation districts and paying from
1925 to SITS an acre for unde-
veloped land, only knew of the ad-
vantages and possibilities offered
here, that hundreds of new settlers
could be brought to this valley and
assist in the development of this
splendid agricultural district.
These facts carry out and verify
our arguments that the good irri-
gated land in the San Luis Valley
is cheaper in price than any other
agricultural land in the west, and
that the opportunities offered here
for the S0-acse farmer are far
ahead of those offered in other
districts.
The reason for our low land
prices as compared with values in
other localities, is due principally
to the large land holdings of this
district. The farming of the large
acreage does not give the land
owner the maximum yields of all
products, and the reduced profits
naturally retard the advancement
of land values. However, when our
land has a farmer residing on every
so acres, and scientific methods of
soil culture and crop rotation are
practiced, then the present crop
yields will be dou bled, and the land
prices will advance to their real
values.
We need hundreds of more far
mers who will raise alfalfa, peas,
small grain, potatoes and sugar
beets; and also feed lambs and
hogs, and when this development
does come, we can boast of as pro-
ductive and prosperous farming
district as the sun shines upon.
A united effort should be made
to interest land seekers in locating
here, and if the real, true condi-
tions were made known to those
who are purchasing elsewhere, We
believe that in one seasons time
every acre that is offered for sale
at the present low prices could be
disposed Of.

Having spent several years colo
nizing irrigated lands in Wyoming,
Colorado and New Mexico, and
knowing all the large colonization
companies operating in those states
| called at the offices of several of
these companies while in the east
last month to ascertain what sue
cess they were having with the
sale of land To my astonishment
four of these companies have had
unprecedented sales during the
past Fall and Winter, but to me
the most interesting part was the
high prices at which their lands
are selling.
One of these land companies is
selling unimproved irrigable lands
in the Rio Grande valley southeast
of Ell Paso, Texas, and receiving
from 1925 to $l75 an acre for the
land. Another has a large, new
project in the Arkansas Valley
which they are selling at from
$3.50 to SITS an acre. Another is
selling land in new project near
Laramie, Wyoming at 800 an
acre, and the other is selling dry
land in the Panhandle of Texas at
from SIS to 1926 an acre.
have seen all of these irriga-
ton propositions and investigated
them from selling standpoint,
considering of course the possibil-
tiles for advancement, the pro-
ductiveness of the soil, the water
supply, climatic conditions, rail-
road facilities, markets, crops and
drainage, and none of the land
above described is worth near as
much as the good irrigated land in
this valley, because of its present
undeveloped condition.
Twice each month buyers are
taken to these different projects
and during the past six months
their sales have been enormous.
The land companies referred to,
secured their purchasers in Illinois,
Iowa and Missouri, and l found on
investigation that the banks in the
agricultural towns of these states
have very large deposits. That
the crops were splendid last year,
and that the business conditions
are excellent and the people enjoy
ing prosperity.

SHOOTING EXHIBITION

capt "A, ID Hardy, representing
the Peters Cartridge Co., gave a
remarkable exhibition of expert
fancy revolver, rifle and shot gun
shooting at the ball park, Wednes
day. Hitting two targets, one
swinging and one stationary, placed
at distance of 25 feet away and
lO feet apart, using two revolvers,
was one of his most difficult &C
complishments. Five eggs were
thrown into the air, and before
reaching the ground, were smashed
into smitbereens with an ordinary
shotgun. The feature of his ex-
hibition, however, was the shoot
ing of an Indian profile on plain
cardboard without previous outline
whatever.
Capt Hardy lives in Denver and
was on the Colorado revolver team
that recently defeated all comers
for a valuable trophy donated by a
millionaire enthusiast. Over 1900
shooters took part in this contest,
and the Colorado team not only
defeated them all, but established
new worlds record.
