An ar-dress by Alfred rsteg, Colorado's
mmmioinnrr of Immigration, was read
Thursdiy at the I-and how In connection
with the Colorado dy exercise. Mr ratek
was called bark to Colorado on a business
nilKKlon and could not remain at the Land
show for the program for hi state. Ma
forwarded this speerh for the occasion. It
was as follows:
"I sond you an Invitation and a mw.H
from a land of sunshine, health, wealth.
rtat crops and opportunity Colorado.
"It Is flttlnar that on this day, when the
attention of the. people of this irreat Ijand
show and the middle west la centered on
my state, that Colorado's Invitation to yol
should be Riven.
"Colorado Invites you to make your
homes In Its cities, to find profitable In
vestment In Ita lands, manufacturing poa
sihllltles and mines; to obtain wealth and
contentment on Ita farsss and In ID midst
of Its orchards.
"Colorado needs 30.000 more farmer, hog
raisers, dairymen, fruit grower, truck
gardeners and poultry raisers. It furnishes
a home market for over $32,000,000 worth of
the products of those Induatriea.
Kin Climate Iarriked.
"We have a climate In Colorado that I
believe Is the best In the world. It la ex
tremely beneficial for people Suffering with
asthma, catarrh, bronchltla and other
throat and lunar troublra. That It keeps
the healthy people well la proven by the
evidence of the Colorado men and women
themselves. Colorado has a dry, mild cli
mate. Very little rain falls. We have no
blizzards or heavy falla of enow. 8nor
remains on the ground but a very ahort
time, so that Colorado baa no such winter
as less fortunate atatea have. Oraee la
green In Tenver from March to November.
In aome parts of the atate farmera plow
In January and February. While other
people are hugging the stove, we Colorado
ans are enjoying weather that la crisp,
yet not freeslng. I contend that we have
In Colorado an Ideal climate; It la neither
too hot nor too cold. Our climate la mild,
yet we have a touch of winter along In
December, January and February that
keeps things stirring, and helps make Colo
rado towns and cities hustling, lively com
munities of boosting citizen.
"Then we have auch mountain acenery aa
has made Pwltierland famous Our moun
tain ranges, peaks, lake and tremendous
chasms form a panorama that la a never
ending delight to the eye and feaat for the
lover of the beautiful and majestic.
Hit Moat Irrigation.
"But mountain scenery and climate are
only side dishes, ao to apeak, that accom
pany, In Colorado, the rich agricultural
possibilities that are making the state a
leader of all the great atatea of the west.
Of the 8.000,000 acres of cultivated land In
Colorado, 2,800,000 acre are watered artifi
cially. Colorado ha more Irrigated land
than any other atate In the union.
"On (hi land there waa produced last
year over $100,000,000 worth of hay, grains,
fruits and live stock. This means that
every acre of Irrigated land In the atate
produced a crop to the value of $4".
"Irrigated land la worth $25 to $350 an
acre. Much of this land can be bought on
easy term that make It possible for the
nomesaener witn but little money to get
a home of hla own.
"There are not many farmera who can
count on getting a sure crop every year
from their land. The men In Colorado who
are cultivating irrigated land can do that,
however. And why? Because two things,
which cause the failure of thousands of
acrea of promising crops, are eliminated
These are the drouth and flood.' Qo

will be tho answer? 'Iirouth! Drouth

Uo through other elatea where there waa
no crop harvest In certain sections. What'
Uo they aay the trouble was? 'Floods! Too
much water!"

"Why not farm In a atate where the
farmers worry not over drouth or flood.
Come to Colorado.
"In our atate we raise twenty-five to
seventy-five tunnels of wheat per acre,
fifty to 100 bushels of oata. three to six
ton of alfalfa hay, 100 to 400 bushels of
potatoes to the acre; thirty to aUty buaehU
of barley per acre, ten to twenty tona of
sugar beets per acre and one and one-half
to two tona of timothy and clover hay per
acre.
"The man who goes Inlo truck gardening
or small fruit growing, can make from
$75 to $;xw an acre. If he plants an orchard
he can make $7 to 7i0 an acre from ap
ples, $300 to $M from peaches, or $1,100 an
acre from pear One man In the Grand
valley of Colorado made $1,500 from an
acre of mixed fmlie.
"Kallroud facilities In Colorado are all
that can be desired. The roada are keep

new track were laid, making a total rail

An effort to Improve the standard of
Nebraska barley Is being made at the
iAnd show through an exhibit by the Oate
City Malt company. This display Is In the
corridor of the Auditorium on the second
floor. Samples of barley malt In all stages
of manufacture are ahown. Specimens of
barley fromhe crops of various states are
displayed and compared.
Grower of barley In Nebraska and Kan
sas are woefully behind thofe of neigh
boring states In producing a first-class
grade of this grain. Thl fact la strikingly
shown in the figures of the government
crop report for the year of 1910. The aver

These figures clearly point out the dif
ference between good and poor farming.
In soil essentials there la no great differ
ence In the states, yet Iowa surpassed all
others In acre production, coming within
a few cents of equalling the higher priced
Wisconsin crop. The quality of the barley
of the first four states brings top prices,
while the crop of Nebraska and Kansas,
a meager yield, bring 12 cents per buchet
less thsn that of Iowa. Now consider the
figures In tha light nf the money returns
per acre of barley raised and sold at the
price quoted:
Crop.
Iowa
Wisconsin
Minnesota
South Dakota.. I
Nebraska
Kansas
The difference In the value of the Ne
braska and Kansas barley, compared with
that of Iowa, Is not due to difference of
soli or climate, the three states In that re
spect being on an equal footing. The rea
son la that Iowa barley raisers use a seed
of a quality best suited to the demands of
the barley market. The amount of energy
expended tn raising the highest grade Is not
perceptibly greater ,than what the .Inferior
crops of Nebraska and Kansas require.
but the Iowa farmers produce what a grow
ing market demands, and by Increased yield
and best quality get double the returns of
their neighbors' on the west side of the
river. If Nebraska and Kansas barley
raisers would discard Inferior aeed and use
the quality sown and cultivated by Iowa
farmer, equally good results would un
doubtedly follow.
narley an Old Crop. '
Barley has been raised for thousands of
years. It thrives In different climates and
grows at any elevation up to 10,000 feet
The greater portion of barley grown In
this country la the Russian variety, com
monly called "four-rowed barley." This
variety of barley shows a high percentage
of protein, the berry being rather small,
with medium thickness of hask. It Is es
pecially adapted tor malting purposes aa
well as for-feed. It Is the safest and best
barley for this western country because It
germinates readily, produces well and sells
st the top of the market. Present price I
about 90 cents a bushel.
Barley I a good rotating crop; It matures
early. Is a good ylelder and easy to harvest
and gamer. During the last few years an
unusual demand for barley has been cre
ated In Omaha by reason of lurge Invest
ments having been made In the conatruc
tlon of a barley malting plant which, to
gether with other demands, would require
at least 1.000,000 bushels a year. This de
mand Is now partly supplied by Iowa, South
Dakota and Minnesota, states having no
belter facilities, soli or climate than Is In
our own state and Kansas. These two
states should be able to supply all demand
required for their own manufacturing pur
pose and more, especially when It Is shown
that the crop can be raised cheaper and a;
a greater value to the farmer when grown
In rotation with other crops.

W. O. Brandenburg, experimental far
mer and lecturer, la st the Land show as
a representative of the stste of Colorado,
and to give out Information to the visitors.
Naturally, he thinks thst Colorado Is the
greatest state' In the union.
Colorado's past reads like a romance. It
seems but yesterdsy,' snd all of us have
had a hand In Its making. In less than
fifty years Colorado's mineral output has
amounted to nearly $2,000,000,000, Increasing
every year, and has long stood first In the
production of gold and silver.
'While mining was the basis of th
commercial uplift of Colorado, agriculture
In recent years has far outdistanced It tn
point of revenue to our people. Iaiet year
Colorado's farms, orchards and ranges pro
duced mors thsn $150,000,000 worth of prod
ucts. Our peculiar cllmatlo condition, con
tinuous sunshine. Irrigation and superior
oil have been responsible for th pro
duction of certain crop on a scale of
profit and production unknown In nearly
any other part of the country.
"Take for example tha sugar beet Indus
try. German experts say that In no other
portion of the world ars conditions so ad
mirable for sugar beet culture as they are
In Colorado, and It Is confidently predicted
that lands well adapted to beet raising will
become among tha highest priced land In
union within a few years. It Is a well
known fact that beets grown by us contain
more sugar than those produced In any
other part of the world. Though th In
dustry I only eleven years old In our state
last year we produced more sugar than
even Louisiana, and yet the enormous
mount Colorado produced Is only suffic
ient to laat the American people the short
period of fifteen days. 8o you can gee that
there Is not much danger of th sugar beet
Industry being overdone.
Meed More Factories.
'While we now have sixteen enormous
factories which pay to our farmers more
than $10,000,000 last year for beets, we will
undoubtedly have many more factories
within the next few years. Five of these
factories have been promised to tbe San
Luis valley during the next five years, and
the Industry is only in Its Infancy In our
state. The net returns to th Colorado
sugar beet grower, covering a period of
five years past, has been In excess of $4ft
per sere annually.
"Alfalfa, according to the reports of the
Agricultural department at Washington,
gives the most nutrition of all grasses
grown by the American farmer. Our state
has profited possibly more by th growing
of this crop In recent years than any
other. The great success of this forage
plant In Colorado is due to soil and climatic
condition and the employment of Intelli
gent method.
'Colorado, according to the government
agricultural reports, produced more wheat
to ths acre than any other state tn the
union lat year. It Is not an uncommon
thing for a large field In the various Irri
gated sections of our state to yield from
slity to seventy bushels per acre, while the
heaviest oats are raised with us .In higher
altitudes. The San Luis vallev, for exam
ple, frequently products oat corlnT better
than forty-eight pounds per bushel, and
yields In excess of 100 bushels per acre
are frequently recorded. . -
"The Colorado potato Is In a class by It
self when It comes to both quantity snd
nneltty. The fmnin Greely and Sn I. ills
valley di'tricts ship out In excess of 20 1
carloads e--ery year, our potatoes belnK en
hlKhly esteemed that thirteen of the lead
ing lines of railway cf our country are
tis'ng them In their dining car service.
"Colorado's fruits alnavs command the
highest pr ce wherever offered, and in re
cent jfara are finding their way to great
favor In foreign markets In tho valleys
of the Arkansas, as well as the famous
w-estern slope district, embracing the coun
tlea of Mesa. Delta. Montrose. Garfield and
Mor.trxuma, more than VO.000 acres are set
to fruit, and our annual output totals more
than $0o0.rO.
"Some Interesting stories could he told
of how many Invalids coming from the eat
have located In our fruit sections and have
found both health and fortune. There Is
possibly no place in America where money
hes been made more rapidly than has heen
the case with those w ho have settled in our
fruit district during the last fifteen years.
"Th Ilocky Ford melon and the San
Luis valley pea-fed pork and mutton have
come to be much In demand among those
who have an appetite for the best there la
along tli line of good things to eat, com
manding th highest prices In the best
markets of th eastern states.
"Wtill Colorado ha 3.000.000 acres of land
under Irrigation more than any other
state and an additional area of like extent
capable of being Irrigated. In the eastern
part of the atate there are approximately
1,000,000 acre yielding good return farmed
by what Is known as the 'dry farming'
method. When the best methods are em
ployed tha results have been very satis

of the state are making as large returns

farmera do on high-priced lands.

"Colored ir"has"""nearly" 700' manufacturing
plants, the output of which amounts to
more than $100,000,000 annually. The atate
Is destined to make great strides In this
line, as the proximity to both fuel and
power offer decided advantages, while the
railway facilities are the very best and the

water power which If properly harnessed,
Niagara by comparison would be a mere
plaything. It possesses deposits of coal
much more extensive than those of Penn

The Key to the Situation Bee Want Ada
IN THE LAND OF BIG APPLES
E. C. Leedy Tells of the Wealth of the
Okanogan Valley.
BIG RICHES IN A FEW ACRES
Wenetchee Valley spples re Knotvn
All Over the World for Their
nperlorltr hw at the
Land ahnv.
"It Is not uncommon for many Wenatchee
vallev fruit growers to clear tM an acre;
and It Is a fact that some of th belter
orchards have earned their owners as high
as $1,000 an acre In a single season," says
R. C. Leedy. who Is In charge of the Land-
Products exhibit for the Great Northern
railway. A large assortment of apple
from the Wenatchee and other fruit grow
ing districts In the Upper Columbia fruit
country I displayed at this booth ahowlng
the extra fine quality of the fruit grown
there. Mr. Leedy cites the Instance of P.
P. lloteomb realising $12,000 from Jonathan,
Wlneaap and King Davis apples grown by
him on thirteen acres of land. Many
other uch remarkable record have been
made by fruit growers In that country.
"The Wenatchee district ha come to be
known as th land of perfect apples," says
Mr. Leedy. "This Is not a boast, but an
established fact, based on the yield year
In and year out, the prices obtained and
the counties prizes won In numerous
apple competitions. Almost any orchard
will produce a few good specimens; but to
grow perfect apple In commercial quan
tities, that means by carloads, Is the real
test. Wenatchee specialises In red apples
for the good reason that they are the beat
money getter of th many crops that
thrive there and because concentrated ef
fort nets the best result
"Every element thst contributed to the
development of an Ideal fruit-growing
country is present In the upper Columbia
fruit districts. The soil has tn almost In-
exhaustive quantities the requisite chemical
and physical properties; water Is available
for abundant Irrigation; the altitude, the
topography of the valley, the preponder
ance of sunshiny days, the steady winters,
the late springs and mellow summers, all
combine with the skill and labor of the
fruit growers to make ths valleys of the
tipper Columbia river the most perfect ap
ple producers in tha world. At the Na
tional Apple show held In Spokane In 1908'
apples from this country won SO per cent
of all the prises offered.
Only Smalt Tracts eeded.
"Land In this country sells from $175 to
$400 and upward per acre, but this price Is
regarded aa trivial In view of the fact that
a ten-acre tract Is about as much as one
farmer can handle; and It will yield him
greater profits with less labor than those
realized by the farmers In the eastern and
middle states, who must have at least 160
acres of land to make a living. Most of
the fruit tracts In this country are In par
cels of ten acres, yet there are many of
five, and even less, which give greater re
turns than many of the big farms in other
states."
"Wenatchee Is a well developed district,
having been settled for many years, but
there are still many acres on which fruit
csn be grown In the Columbia valley. The
Okanogan la the newest of the fruit grow
ing districts and It promises, when de
veloped, to give returns equal to those
realised In the Wenatchee. Okanogan's
particular merits have been aptly sum
marized In the rythmic slogan, "the frost
proof Okanogan, where the fruit crop never
falls,"' which contains a wealth of con
densed Information that cannot fall to ap
peal to th careful honieseeker, who will
take enough time to investigate and satisfy
himself of ths truth of this remarkable
claim. There la nothing new tn this as

demonstrated what the land would do

Manr loin Orchards.
"While the trees are growing, many set
tler In th Okanogan region raise vege
tables and small fruit, realising good
yields and profitably tiding over the years
Intervening before ths orchard begins to
produce. The land Is valuable for this pur
pose. In feet, there 1 practically no form
of agriculture which will not prove profit
able. So much greater are the return
from fruit, however, that truck gardening
la practiced only as a temporary expedient
by most people living In the valley. This

apple; but the number shrinks when It la
