The Coootry Where It Seldom Rains, \
Wood Is $8 Per Load, Land SIOO ]
to 9600 Per Acre, And Mercury
Goes Twenty-two Degrees Below. 1
Rocky Ford, Colo., Oct. 20. ji
Dear Editor Reporter:
If you have space in your pa- 1
per I will answer some of my '
Stokes friends' letters asking me
about the land in this country. 1
Well, the land here is all right;
and rich enough, but it likes ir
rigation (plenty of water.) The!
rain here don't do much good, in
fact there is no rain here like it
is in the Southern States.
The land one of my Stokes ;
county friends wanted to know
I about near Denver I think is very f
good of its kind. As you under
stand, all this claim land is!
prairie, and if you farm it is dry j
land farming, and you depend j
upon the rain altogether. People!
who own these farms grow po
tatoes. pumpkins, and a few
other things that don't need
much water. I think you can get
a claim allright if you wish one.
Claims lands are good for herd- •
ing cattle, and the cost is not j
very much. A friend of mine
came down from Colorado Springs
a few days ago and said he took
up a claim of 160 acres and cost
"him S2O. Theree hundred acres j
I think will cost thirty or forty
dollars. I don't know the con
venience of that section of coun-;
try, but here wood is not very
"handy, for it takes four days to •
get one load. When you can buy
a load for $H it is cheaper than
going to the cedars after it. A j
man and team here can get five >
and six dollars a day.
Land here under thorough,
"irrigating ditches sells for SIOO
to S6OO an acre. A span of good
horses will cost S4OO.
There are all kinds of work to
do in Colorado. Farmers need
men on the farms to take care of.
hay, beets, pick apples, pick to
matoes. feed cattle in winter
when the temperature is about
22 below zero. The weather
don't cut any figure in Colorado.
The people work here all the
time.
1 must tell you about my
pumpkin patch. 1 planted four
rows one step apart, 15 steps
long, and gathered 270 pump
kins after selling some and feed
ing some to my cow, and since
the frost has killed the vines I
see there is more in the patch.
