There is probably not county in
the entire state of Colorado that Of
fers better or wider opportunities
than Crowley county. The oppor-
tunities are wide and varied but those
who come here with determine
tion to win and are willing to work
will find this one of the best locations
in the west. Those who came here
in an early day with practically moth
ing and who have weathered the
trials and conditions are today riding
in their large automobiles, have large
ranches and farming lands and are
absolutely independent.
OPPORTUNITIES are offered here for
settlers who desire to follow general
farming alone or in connection with
fruit raising, dairying or stock rails
ing. Privately owned irrigated land
may be purchased from 800 to 5000
per acre, depending on location,
character of the soil. value of the
water rights and the improvements.
Non-irrigated lands may be had at
from $40 to $40 per acre. Apples
cherries and berries grow well on all
of the irrigated lands and in some
sections are produced in considerable
quantities for sale. Dairy farming
and hog raising are followed profit

crops are grown very extensively and
farmers find it more profitable to fat
