THE NEPESTA LAND DISTRICT, The "Jewel of the Arkansas Valley

LOCATION
The land of the Xepeeta Ditch and Reservoir Company Ilea Just south of and extnds up to the main line
of tho Atchison, Topeka and Santa Fe Railroad, and woat of and adjoining the famous development district
of Fowler, Manzanola and Rocky Ford, where land values range from $150.00 to $1,000.00 per acre, according
to Improvements and state of development.
The land all has a gradual slope to the east, just adequate for the perfect flow of water. There are no
wamps or sand hills; the entire district la one vast stretch of smooth, level land. There are no rocks or tim
bers to clear, nor roots to grub.
THE SOIL
The soil of the Nepesta Land Tract is a rich chocolate sandy loam, the Ideal standard for Irrigation pur
poses. It works freely and Irrigates nicely, and Is particularly suited to the production of all kinds of fruits
which grow in a temperate climate. The silt or sediment distributed over the surface of the ground by means
of irrigation, serves as a. fertilizer and enriches the land.
No water shortage will ever occur under the Farmers Nepesta System. Three sources of water stored in
reservoirs before crop la seeded, with double the amount of water that can possibly be used.
Nepesta, our town, is already quite a shipping point and with the additional development and settlement
f thia 10,000 acres will rank with any other shipping and marketing point in the valley and adding to the
Importance is the fact that Nepesta la Just 26 miles from Pueblo, a city of 60.0J0 population, the largest indus
trial city in the West, affording very valuable marketing facilities.

MARKETS
The markets and shipping facilities of the Nepesta Land Tract are convenient to the farmer. Products
of this tract find easy access to all parts of the country. Melons and fruit probably travel the greatest distance
to the consumer, where they are attracted by the better prices. Cantaloupes and apples are shipped in car
load lots to New York, California and New Mexico.
The Arkansas Valley, surrounded by a mountainous region, and In close communication with rich mines
of coal, iron, silver, gold, lead, copper, zinc, clay, limestone, gypsum, cement rock and building stone, gives
It a combination of diversified industry and of great manufacturing activities. Six large beet sugar factories, nine
alfalfa mei mills, and numerous canning factories and creameries prepare agricultural products for the mar
ket. The immense steel works at Pueblo, the largest plant of its kind in the West, the smelters of Pueblo, and
the Innumerable mining and manufacturing enterprises of the valley assure a local market for farm products
and supply that wide foundation of varied industry that Is typical of the most permanently prosperous com
munities In America or elsewhere. ,
There is no soil niore fertile than this; not only because it is In its virgin state-, but also because th
natural chemical salts which nature originally put there for plant food have not been drenched and leached
out by centuries of heavy rainrall as Is largely true in the case of humid climates. This is not a theory; the
heavier yield of crops here as compared with those of wet climates actually proves it.
Excursion First and Third Tuesday of Each Month
Round trip $19.00. Be sure to make arrangements to go with me February 7th. You owe It to yourself
and those dependent upon you to investigate the wonderful opportunities we offer you.

PKS MOIN'KS. Jam 21. (Special.) So far
a rn be discerned tho principal work of
tlm legislative acsHlon which lias Just been
opened will be along the line of aiding
lr. commercial affaln. Among the meas
ures which are silre to receive a great
di'al of attention and which hava already
been projected are these:
Revision of the road laws, perhaps a
complete re-rltlng .of the laws. Introduc
ing soma innovations and making possible
more effective use of the money raised
for road purposes.
Tax law revision, This may take the
form of organizing a committee to Investi
gate and report rather than any positive
action, but In some matter the demand Is
f.n- repeal of present laws. The tax fcrrel
law may be repealed so that It will be
easier to evade taxation. There Is demand
for repeal of the law to tax moneys and
credits, but thia will not get through at
this seHslon.
Assessment of automobiles and new reg
ulations for automobiles. One proposal Is
for a special tax on machines to go to the
road fund and that all autos be exempt
from' ordlnai y taxes.
School legislation in the direction of the
meusurea desired by the State Teachers j
association. The office of school treasurer
lll be abolished. The township may be'
made the unit for schoxl organization and
thrre may he changes affecting the cer
tification of teachers. The educational in
terests of thv Htaie are demanding some
inimwtunl legislation.

part of members to Indulge In freak bills

beaten paths of legislation. The demand
for appropriations will be large and It Is
almost certain that a larger amount of
money will be spent than ever before.
There will be few new offices created and
few abolished.

The loss of John C Simpson as secre
tary of the Department of Agriculture will
be keenly felt In Iowa, for It Is recognized
that he has virtually made the state fair

few years ago as a clerk and stenographer
at $.15 a month and Is now getting 13.310
a year, but goes to Minnesota at ". a
year. He has devoted his entire time to
the work of making the fair and has been
steadily building It up until It has become
a great Institution.
