FARMERS UNION ASSOCIATION

Monte Vista can boast of one of
the strongest marketing organiza-

producers, and managed as success
fully as our best business and finan-
cial institutions. The business of
the Farmers Union is to help its
members in buying and selling farm
products and merchandise. The
manager of this organization Is in
formed on the market values of live
stock and agricultural products, and
this information is given to the
members.

| an organized way the work of the
County Agricultural Agent.
What Is A Farm Bureau?
Farm Bureau is an Organization
OF people or groups of people who
are interested in the agricultural
progress of the county, and who
firmly believe that progress can best
be realized by study and applica-
tion of the best principles of agricul-
ture known. They are willing to do
their part in getting the best avail
able agricultural information put in
to practice. They will help to col
| lect and make available the valuable
experiences of themselves and others,
as well as to help adapt the informa-
ton developed elsewhere to the con-
ditions of their own county, when it
may be of advantage in solving local
agricultural problems.
They cooperate with the County
Agricultural Agent and help direct
the work along the lines most needed
in the various communities. They
put into practice on their own farms
what is best along one or more lines.
The results they secure may be used
as demonstrations for others. In ad-
dition to helping others, they derive
personal benefit from the fact that
there is an incentive to keep studying
and to watch closely their farming
operations.
In addition to the direct coopera-
ton with the County Agricultural
Agent, the Farm Bureau serves as a
force to federate all the forces for
agricultural purposes, that are al
ready at work in the community. It
can work with the various existing
organizations to secure team work
and increase their effectiveness. 1t
does not, in any way, try to do the
work of an existing organization or
take away from the results such an
organization may be securing. But
being county wide, it helps any or
ganization with it's work by bring
ing to it the help secured by team
work from any other organizations
that may be trying to accomplish
something along the same line.
The Farm Bureau may help con-
duct exchanges for pure seed, pure
bred livestock, feed and feeding
stock, etc. In some cases, it con-
| ducts labor exchanges. The Farm
Bureau may also help communities
to cooperate in many other ways.
The County Agricultural Agent
can accomplish the most work when
he can work WITH the people of
the county rather than FOR them.
The Farm Bureau is the organized
machinery for working with the peo-
pie. 1t is the methods adopted by
the counties in this and other states
where the best results are being ac-
complished. Now that Rio Grande
county has decided to employ a
County Agricultural Agent of it's
own, lets all get behind the move
ment and help accomplish the best
results in the State, If this means
the organization Of Farm Bureau
lets have the most successful one In
Colorado.
Think this over for you will heaI
more about the Farm Bureau move
ment soon.

ADVANTAGES OF IRRIGATION
Irrigation farming characterizes
intensive culture, for maximum re-
turns are only made on small fields,
well titled and irrigated. So in irri-
gated districts the farms are smaller
and the rural population greater.
This means larger yields of all crops,
better qualities of products raised
and more profits for the farmer.
Fertility is measured by the power
of soil to produce crops, and much
of the irrigation waters used contain
large amounts of Dissolved fertilizing
elemets. Soils will wear out unless
good farm practice is inaugerated
which will keep them productive,
thus under irrigation, fertility is
easily restored by the growing of
leguminous crops, proper crop rota-
tion and flooding of the land
GENERAL SURROUNDINGS
The west is a strange land. Lofty
mountains, grand distances, high al
titudes and continual sunshine influ-
ence the lives of the people and the
structural life and health of animals
and plants. Here every institution
is founded upon new principles, and
in the development of these enter
prises and the wonderful natural re-
sources, the people find greater inde-
pendence of thought and action and
most alluring charms. The San Luis
Valley comprises more than three
million acres of land. This vast area
lays smooth and is entirely sur
rounded by high rugged mountains.
Thn To a a
the valley and this stream and its
tributaries furnish the abundance of
water for irrigation of the crops.
Like any other such large tract of
land this valley can boast of nearly
every known quality of soil But in
this article we will describe more
particularly the thousands of acres
OF productive agricultural land to be
found in the immediate vicinity of
Monte Vista, Center, Del Norte, and
also the districts known as Bowen,
Carmel and Terrace located from
twelve to twenty miles south of
Monte Vista.
LAND HOLDINGS TOO LARGE
The eastern farmer and those
from other western irrigation dis
tricts will be wonderfully impressed
anu 6iSdliy hltItSleu IN Ine aRTlCul-
tural and stock feeding opportuni-
ties offered in this valley. The pro-
ductiveness of the soil; the abund-
ance of water for irrigation; the
growing of products that command
high prices, and the raising of "soil
building and fat producing crops,
all combine to make this the most
favored agricultural and live stock
feeding district in all the west. But
this irrigated section needs d5morefarm-
ers. Land holdings are too large,
and until his acreage is divided into
so and 160 acre farms, the prices
Will remain about half the sum
asked for agricultural land in the
eastern states. Then with the coming
of the increased rural population;
the dividing of the farms and the
more intensive cultivation, the
farm values will advance to equal
the prices now asked for good land
in other farming districts.

agent of the D. G R. G. was called
upon for statement and responded
by saying he was instructed to advise
the shippers of Monte Vista that "the
railroad company would arrange sat
isfactOry service for the transporta-
ton Of live stock from the valley to
Pueblo and Denver" Mr.. Robbins
suggested that the Hog Growers as
sociation ascertain from shippers and
others what day or days of each
week would be suitable for shipping
and then present our claim to the
railroad company, assuring us of sat
isfactory arrangements.
A committe composed of Chas. Ed
man, l.. B. Sylvester and ]. H. Good

for better service. In this connec-

caused by the removal from Monte
