It doesn't seem TO take irrigation to
win first prizes in Colorado" said J.
Colo IF the record of Kfowa county
proves the rule This year our county
q carried off 81 first prizes at the Pueblo
state fair and won us second prizes.
and that record was made in a county
that is located outside the irrigation
district and has an average rainfall Of
only 16 inches However. our rainfall
during the past u months has been
exceptionally heavy, 40 inches having
fallen during that period Wheat this
year ran as high as 81 bushels to the
acre and none Of our corn ran under
20 bushels TO the acre. We have a
fine stock country also, but IL is a
country for the small stOckman ONLY
as the ranges are limited. all land be-
ing taken up by farmers Lands that

Great town this. I don't know that
7 have found a more interesting one
Cool, pleasant, cordial and all that sort
OF thing, said A. E Schaeffer, of
Houston. Texas. From what I hear
OF the sale of kodaks and cameras out
here I should say that most people
take along a film register when they

no sport like bringing home a bag Of
game without Strengthening the country

and personal in a kodak picture that
is lost in the studied pose and when
these bits OF spOntaniety are enlarged

lover Of good pictures could ask for"
