A Number of Facts Concerning the
Agricultural'Reseurces of Prowsers
i County, and her Future
i Pdssiblitties.
' From the Irrigation Era.
| There are over one million acres
of agricultural land in Prowers
County, Colorado; 200,000 acres ir
irigated by gravity canals from - the
Arkansas river with water rights
dating back ‘to’ 1884, which. gives
this teyritory an:abundanbe of water
tor irrigation’ at all “times of the
year, The remaimng. 800,000 acres
13:best adgpted 10 the cattie. inter:
ests on - acoount »of the' luxuriant
growth of native: grasses ‘and the
richness of the soil, although -thgre
are many years in which all'agrienl
tural crops can be suscessfully
grown. The country is similar to
that of Kansas and Nebraska as
compared with the ‘richness of the
soil, and evéry one knows that in
these states with sufficient rain to
grow crops once in four years, the
farmer 18 on as good footing a8
those of the east. Consider, then,
with the fine systems of irrigation,
which insures a full crop every vear;
and the many advantages of the cli
mate of Colorado, together with the
markets for all products. and in
general agricnlture you have many
decided adyantages over any of the
Eastern territory, not to mention the
prodacts for which the Arkansas
valléy is‘ already famous, viz: fruit
and melons.
We find from the records of the
State Bugineer of Colorado that the
average amount of water flowing
in the Arkansas riyer for the month
of May was 1,508 cubic feet per sec
ond of time; June, 1,000; July,
1,418. These are the three months
of irrigation. While tlie greatest
amount flowing at one time dnring
these three months was 2,688 cubic
feet, and we find that up to the year
1889, 2,600 cubic feet of water was
appropriated by the different ‘canal
companies, which is virtually all the
ayailable water for irrigation in the
Arkansas river; and 'to'a certainty
‘nll the land 18 now igi"_i'nled that
ever can be, and ‘all that immense
territory through ffom Pueblo’ to
the Kansas state line must remain:
a1 a profitable field’ for the stock~'
men. - One large caosl has | since;
been constructed with 8 capacity of
700 cubic feet to irrigate lands north
of the Arkansas river slong the line
of the. Missouti ' Pacific, - but theif.
decree of water is dated 1891, and
the other canals must first be sup
plied wiih their appropriations. '
There are only about 3,000 inhab~
itants in Prowers county, and they
represent every state in the Uniong
coming here invarisbly from tefri
tory farther East, from lows, liii
less favored locations in' order that |
bey stidy recédive better returns: for
theit labor. This county 16 tha

ter and gives an outlel in every di- |-
rection and to every market in the |
world. An average of thirty freight |
'tuinn pass through the county daily, |
four passengers, and limited trains||
twice a week. | ! ‘
North of the town of Lamar af
system of storage reservoirs has re-|
cently been constructed to catch- the
flood watera of the -Arkansas. river, |
which 1n extent and cost of con-|
struction is something heretofore |
unheard of. The entire country ‘to]
the north is one network of- canals, |
lakes, laterals, ete., and the seepage |
from these great storage basins
alone will irrigate thousands of
acres of land sid ‘make the atmos
phere of the whole country moist. -
The prodacts for:which this valley
is famons are alfalfs, cattle, sheep,
hoge, fruit snd melons, and in addi
tion, it is'the only vslley in Colora
do in which the growing of corn is
a succees, but (here, a8 in Kansas,
the yield per ‘acre is something
enormous, fields “of 200 and 300
acres running an average of fifty
bushelsto the acre throughout. Al
falfa is the crop for the irrigitor; it
does all here that the corn crop does
for the eastern farmer and more be
sides. It is better feed than corn
for horses, stock hogs and sheep,
and gives much more feed to the
acre at tar less cost and labor. The
average yield per acre 18 six tons of
bay, or if left for seed two tons of
bay and ten bushels of seed. For
the honey bee it furnishes an unlim
ited territory for his material in ite
rich, white blossom, and the profits
of the bee man in this county is
something encouraging. Alfalfa
boney is acknowledged the entire
country oyer as superior to any
other honey; it 18 perfectly white
and of fine flavor. = The growth of
alfazlfa enriches instead of impover
ishing the soil, and after the crop
has been once ‘set little water: is
‘needed for in‘iifliqn. a8 the roots
will penetratetwentyiand thirty feet
'to Yeach water. Whisalfalfa stub
ble la. Anepmianideill. . sorstons
planted ig Mk Miehd, the yield per
acre is inys#lkbly from 300 to 400
bushels. The slfsifa hay sells for
an average of $3.50 per ton in ‘the
stack, but if fed to hogs or stock ‘it
returns the owner about $7.00 per
ton. Thealfalfa seed sells for ‘an
averdge of §4,50 per bushel,
Wheat is another crop for which
this county is famous. The yield
per aére averages over thirty—five
bushels, while the average of no
state in the Union exceeds twenty,
| As regards quahity, Mr. A.J. Hottel,
manager of the milling company st
Lamar; said' that in all his exper
fence Of twenty years in the milling
businéss he had never reen ae good
wheat as the Turkey Red grown by
the farmers of the county, which
tests as high as sisty-five pounds to
the bushel, with a very thin bran,
making it a good wheat for the mal
ler.
Hogs are a standard product in
every tounty, but in Prowers county
there bas neyer heen any disease to
interfere with their perfect growth
and they thrive almost entirely on
alfalfa until the timé for marketing;
when they afe given:a little corn for
hardening, . The/ldestion on the
main line of the Ssatd .Fe railroad
gives the grower s diréct and quick
manner of réaching the great live
stdck markets of Kansas City, 'St.
Loais and Chicago, whilt«New York
orforeign markets cah be Tuickly

Gulf of Megico. - g R

young aud the orchards are hardly
old enough to. bear,” yet in the
growth of cherries, peats, spplés,
peaches, grapes, etc., enough has
been demonstrated to warrant the
owners of land in planting large
‘acreageto these products. The edi
tor regrets very much that the sea-
Won of the year in which he visited
this county, ‘which was within the
last two weeks, was too late for se
curing good photographs and pre
senting the engravings to our read
ere showing these orchards, fruit on
trevs, etc., in order that you might
nee for yoursglves. We were met on
every hand with the statement: “If
‘had only been-herd sootier-and got a
photo of this tree while the apples
were on. I gathered tet. busbel from
this one tree, and it is only seven
vears old,” “If you could have made a
picture of this peach tree last summer,
the limbs were all bending down to the
ground.”
- We would like to say jnst a word or
two abont melon growing in this valley.
From the different shipping points along
the river last summer over 500 cars of
cantaloupes were shipped out to eastern
points, returning to the growers from
SSO to SIOO per acre, and all told, nearly
$200,000 was received by these fellows
for their melon crop last summer. . You
can raise melons quick, they give you
an opening for reaching this country
and getting a start if you haye not much
money, for you plant in the spring and
get vour cash within a very few months
for the crop, and when you can more
than make the price of your land from
one season’s crop you gre not taking
much of a risk if you arrive in Prowers
county with only money enough to pav
the first installment on your lund. The
rest is easy.
Irish and sweet potatoes are equally
profitable and sre another effective
means of getting on your feet quick.
‘The profit from an acre of sweet pota
toes 18 from SIOO to S3OO, and on early
spring potatoss, fully this much, if not
more. e
1< Butter-is-worth 25 venis per pound st
Lamar slmost the entire year round,
and enough eggs to supply the home de
' mand are never in evidence. There is
| 80 much more money in fruit, cattle,
|etc., that these little necessities are sad
1y neglected, and “there is a lplendiq
opening here for any number of people
with chickens or cows, as the market is
never half supplied in sny part of the
| state. y
The markets for the products of the
land of Prowers connty is Kansas City
| on the east, all of Colorado’s great min
|ing camps on the west, and the great
territory south, all of which is reached
| direct by the Santa Fe route, the great
est railroad in the world. There is a
home market for all product raised, and
in addition mueh has to be shipped in
annually from outside states. Prices are.;
therefore, better for all the products of
the soil than in eastern states. 3
