COLORADO 

 As an Agricultural State. 



Its Farms, Fields, and Garden Lands, 



By WILLIAM E. PABOR. 



ILLUSTRATED 



A Volume of Great Value and Interest to those seeking 

 "Farms and Homes in the Far West 



In his preface to this work the author says : In preparing this volume I have 

 aimed to keep strictly within the border line of facts. Twelve years of careful 

 observation, a personal acquaintance with nearly all the valleys described 

 herein, an earnest desire to make public the agricultural resources of a State 

 whose remarkable growth has no parallel in American history, these have 

 been impelling motives in the preparation of this truthful account of the val- 

 leys, plains, and parks of Colorado.
