Very Successful Farming

The success of dry farming
operations in Colorado. especially
in Eastern Colorado, has made
a material change in the charac-
ter Of the leases now issued on
state lands, according to the
State Board of Land Commission
ers.
Formerly these lands were
practically all classed and used
as strictly grazing lands. Now
a large acreage is leased. partly
for grazing and partly for agri-
cultural use. Each year more
and more land is put under the
plow as success attends the ef-
forts Of farmers, pioneering in
what might be termed a new in
dustry-''Dry farming in Colo
rado".
With this change in the indust-
ry of the country has come great.
ly increased revenues to the
state in the form Of rentals.
Lands used agriculturally under
dry farming conditions carry an
annual rental varying fifty cents
per acre to as high as q dollar
and a half per acre as opposed to
eight to twelve cents per acre
for grazing.
