The College Farm
And Its Purpose

This article is written with the
belief that not al residents OF the
Western Slope are aware of the exist
ence OF the College Farm. located
near Austin. which is owned and op-
Grated by the state Horuculurisrs
office Again. others, who may be
aware OF its existence may not know
just what part the Farm fills in re-
gard to fruit growing on the Western
slope. Therefore the writer believes
that some information on the subject
viii probably be OF interest TO the
readers in general d.
In the first place TO carry on ex-
perimental work along agricultural
lines. It IS necessary that the investi-
s.tols have the land and equipmeL
TO work with Cooperative work with
growers is not generally satisfactory
to either party involved. This Is due
I'm mos1 cases TO the fact that the CO
operator has TO assume rather
heavy burden. The most logical
method is for the College to own the
property. Also the land should be
located In the district where the
problems to be studied apply The
above facts justify the existence of
the College Farm at Austin, Colo.
II has been said that Colleges, as
a general rule, pick rather poor land
TO start with However the roauer
must remember that if all conditions
were ideal there would be no prob
lens to study Again the land should
not be such as TO prevent its manage
mont on an economic basis, except in
rare instances. The College Farm,
representing an average OF conditions
throughout the Western Slope, will
insure that discoveries made there
and practices found applicable to Il
will also apply to other orchards
within the District
During the past season the Farm
