Another Farm Club

On the evening of December 9th a
Farm Club was formally organized at
Clearview school house, seven miles
south and four miles east of Lamar.
The organization will be known as

in the movement was specially strong.
Immediately after the organization

ular schedule, the county agent will
meet with this organization again on
January "a. In the meantime the club
proposes to meet january 10 for a

ing every two weeks will prevail
throughout the winter. At one meet
ing agricultural problems will be dis
cussed, and at the next, the club Will
give a literary program. The county
agent will be present at the agricul-
tural meetings, and will take part in
the discussion. II was decided that

to install an agricultural library at
the school house for the use Of farm
club members.
The newly elected officers arc Geo.
F. Geer, president; R. A. Jarboe, vice

INCREASING ACREAGE

Through the cooperation Of tic
Colorado State Board of Immigration,
the State War Council and a large
number of loyal American citizens,
eager to do anything in their power
toward winning the war, plan is now
being worked out which will result in
the cultivation next year of perhaps
100, 900 acres of land in Colorado that
has never been cultivated before.
Under this plan the owners Of the
land in question are turning it over
to the State Board Of immigration for
two years. or for the period of the

PRoWERS COUNTY LEADS
Stands First in Southern Part of the
State in Both Agriculture and
Stock

The publication of the compiled
returns from the various counties Of
the state as taken from the returns
sent in by the tax assessors and farm
experts show that Prowers county is
both the agricultural and stock rails
ing leader of southern Colorado. The
statistics from the various assessors
show that this county leads all south
ern counties by many thousand acres
in irrigated lands and stands fourth
among the counties of the state. Only
Weld and Larimer counties really lead
Prowers as Boulder and this county
are separated by less than hundred
acres in irrigated area, and the diff
ference in seepage lands really puts
Prowers in third place. In stock rails
ing Prowers county is far away in
the lead of all the other southern Col
orado counties in horses, mules, cat
tie and sheep; and Otero county alone
passes it in hogs and poultry. In al
falfa and its manufactures Prowers
county leads the entire state by a wide
margin, being the greatest alfalfa
meal center of the world. In total
agricultural and live stock products
il leads all the southern counties and
only giving place to some of the FORTH
ern counties which are more highly
developed, larger and have several
times its population. The past year
has been a big one agriculturally,
financially, and patriotically for Prov
ers county, and 1918 opens with every
prospect of a still higher mark in all
three respects.

the deepest sympathy of all goes out
to them in their great loss. The war

wards of dirt each day and is fully
equipped for the men to live and
work right on the job. The big dis
trict, however, has many thousand

Board is in touch with a number of
experienced farmers who will lease it
and place it in cultivation, free of rent,
next year.
Land is being accepted under this
plan only in localities where transpor-
tation facilities are ample to insure
the prompt handling of all crops
grown. 1t is practically all non-irri-
gated land and of necessity will be
located principally in eastern Colo
rado, near some line of railroad. In
dications are that more land will be
offered than can be used with the
available supply Of competent farm
crs, but the Board will list any land
offered, and will make an effort to
get it cultivated.
Many persons already engaged in
farming in the state would be able to
cultivate more land than they are
handling if they could obtain acreage
near enough to their homes t. permit
them to farm it. The Board is anx-
ious to list as much land as possible
in every section Of the state where
railroad facilities are adequate, so as
to be in a position TO aid farmers al
ready located in obtaining all the acre
age they can cultivate.
In order to insure the best possible
results an effort will be made TO OBJ
tain large tracts or smaller tracts To-
Gated near together, so that their cul-
tivation can be supervised by agricul-
tural experts. Several large tracts,
all near a railroad and very close to-
gether, have been offered in one cast
srn Colorado county. For the present
attention is being ccntcred largely up
on these tracts because of their fav-
orable location.
The State Board Of Immigration will
be glad TO communicate with persons
desiring to cultivate land under the
terms stated above. Such persons
should have in the neighborhood OF
S125O each, or enough money tc
finance their farming operations un'
til their crops are ready to market.
