er supply. These two and half mil
lions had once been splendid cattle
range. Homesteaders had fenced the
range and broken it up. Most Of
them failed to raise crops, with only
fourteen inches of rainfall, and had
quit in disgust. Their efforts had
spoiled the range for the cattlemen,
however. Farther east in Colorado
and in Montana and Idaho, under SINH
lar conditions, farmers were raising
big crops of wheat without irrigation
by summer fallow methods. Around
Greeley, which was pioneer irriga-
tion colony, dry farming was scoffed
at. The possibilities Of the barren
acres were viewed entirely from the
standpoints of restoring the range or
getting additional water. It remain
ed for young Cline to make spec
tacular success as dry farm wheat
raiser.
Cline studied successful methods in
other states. He became convert to
the summer fallow method. He plant
ed his land to wheat only every other
year. The alternate year he kept his
fields in fallow and free from weeds.
In this way he accumulated two years
moisture for one years. crops. He be-
gan to get twenty, twenty five, even
thirty bushels of wheat to the acre,
where the homesteader had rejeiced
at eight or ten. In years when the
rainfall dropped to eight inches he
raised twelve to fifteen bushels to the
acre, while the homesteaders' grain
failed to make even pasture.
Last season Cline harvested 10000
bushels of wheat, worth more than
$15O,000 at the loading station. He
has built his own elevators on the
Union Pacific Railroad, which runs
through his property. Land which he
bought for eight dollars an acre six
years ago is now worth forty dollars.
He has $4,000 invested in tractors,
threshing machines, and other equip
ment. During his busy season he has
a weekly pay roll of $1,000. He has
1000 acres under cultivation.
Cline's success as a bonanza farm
er has not weakened the call Of the
ministry to him. While developing
wheat lands he has also developed
the First Christian Church Of Greeley.
His parishioners pay him two thous-
and dollars a year, but he turns this
salary back to them to be applied to
the church debt which was crushing
the organization when he became pas
tor.
Eventually Mr.. Cline intends to
complete his theological course. In
the meantime he shows the people Of
Weld County how to reclaim prairie
dog land without irrigation water, 1
