H. W. Broaddus Urges Land
Owners to Cultivate Val
ley Land, Then Sell.

7 wish I could have had some Of
the land owners and farmers of the Rio
Grande valleys with me on a trim I
have Just taken through the irrigated
valleys Of Colorado. Wyoming. MOnta-
ma Idaho, Washington. Oregon and CAL
ifOrnla,' said Horace ". BrOaddus IF
the trip would have had the same ef-
feet upon them which il had upon me
there would be a marked change in
the way in which lands are handled
in this vicinity.
In every irrigated valley 7 Travelled
through, and I made IL a point TO stop
and investigate almost every one OF
them. ] found the greatest prosperity
and il was largely due to the fact that
the land owners in those sections have
been careful to put part Of their lands
under cultivation before offering them
for sale and then selling them TO the
right kind. of settlers. In Montana,
Washington and Oregon they are going
In largely for dairying. The land is
first cut up I'm five. ten, 20 and 80 acre
tracts, planted TO forage and each pur-
chaser, who Is carefully selected for
MS ability IN the matter OF handling
cows, is supplied with as many cows
as he can prOfitably handle on his lit
tie piece Of land. Creameries have
BEEN established so that there is a
ready sale for the milk on a basis of
the ElSln price for butter fat
Paid Each Monday.
The dairy farmers are paid every
Monday morning for the milk delivered
the week before and in turn are ena-
bled TO pay their bills, thereby getting
the lowest possible cash price which
the merchant is enabled to give them
because Of the rapid turnover Of his
capital and mis- utter lack OF losses.
If we could convert our lands
into dairy farms as has been
done in the country through which
/ have just been travelling the
prosperity Fl Paso now enjoys would
not be marker TO the pros
perity il would then enjoy. With our
long growing season, giving US double
or treble the tonnage Of forage which
can be grown in that country and with
our short feeding season dairy farm
ers here could count on almost double
the profit that the dairy farmers Of
those sections can count upon.
Former FL Pasoan.
At Seattle I found E. A. Stewart.
an old time Fl FasOan. formerly OF the
firm Of Stewart q McNair. grOcers on
South FL Paso street Stewart left
here about ten years ago and went to
the state OF Washington where he went
into the dairy business He is now a
multimiliOnaire living on Capitol Hill
in Seattle in a beautiful home. His
millions he made in the dairy business
he is one Of the principal owners Of
the Carnation MIX plant near Seattle
which sends its product all over the
World
Going from Denver to Cheyenne
through the Cache Ia Pondre valley,
made a number OF stops to investigate
the sugar beet industry In a distance
of 20 miles 1 found six sugar factories
representing an investment Of $1,000
OOO. All required to take care Of the
sugar beets grown in this valley. The
sugar beet growers are growing rich
Sugar beets viii grow in these valleys
and while dairying may be better for
the average farmer in that his money
comes in every week rather than once
a year. still there are many farmers
who might not like dairying as a vo-
cation and who would be financially
able to wait for the greater income Of
sugar beets, though ii did come in only
at harvest time" o.
