OUR EXPERIMENTAL FARM FOUNTAIN, COLORADO. 



We are showing again map indicating location of THE IRRIGATION AGE model farm near Fountain, Colorado, which 

 was established and work started in May of this year. Forty-eight acres have been leveled and put under the plow 

 this season. The full forty-eight acres were sowed to oats and alfalfa. It is our intention to plant several hundred 

 fruit trees in the spring of 1910. , During the next month work will begin on a cement block house and barn. It is 

 not our intention to exploit work performed until crops are matured and the place is equipped with farm imple- 

 ments. The editor will visit the .farm- this month and plan future work. This land was purchased from the Fountain 

 Land & Irrigation Company of Colorado Springs, Colorado, through its selling agents in Chicago, the Pearsons- Wilhite 

 Company, 181 La Salle street. Mr. Wilhite of that company will supply any information desired concerning this tract or 

 adjacent districts in Colorado.
