of what farm crops ear be produced here,
We need good. sturdy farmers, who are

tired of raising 10 cent oats ana 10 cent

ccio.. yesterday. Il brought party of
twenty five down with me on the 10Th OF

am surprised at the interest Colorado
people take in this section of the country
business is unsettled IN the North, and
IN these days of panics and general bust
ness depression, the man who is in COM
portable circumstances today and has
snug amount in the bank to his credit is
liable to wake up tomorrow and find the
bank closed and his family in want; that
has been the experience of great many
OF our people and they are not inclined
10 take any risks of that kind. The ques-
