Thousands of farmers in the
central states who suffered from
the drouth and excessive heat of
last summer are seeking homes in
lands where crops never fail for
want of water and where the pro-
ducts command the highest price.
So widespread and insistent is this
demand that is beyond question
that the agricultural industry in
Colorado will receive many new
additions nextyear. Well-irrigated
farm lands in this state have al
ready reached excellent values and
will command still higher prices
in the near future. This is in ac-
cordance with good standard of
worth, for no tracts in the country
yield such steady and certain pro-
fits. The desirable lands of Colo
RADIO are limited until national ir-
rigation shall be well established,
and they will constantly enhance
in value. New homeseekers will
"have to hurry" if they wish to Sc
cure good land. In this connection
it will not be amiss to state that
the rapid settlement of the North
Fork Valley in Delta county and
adja cent agricultural territory in
this county augurs well for the
future stability and prosperity of
this immediate section.

1t would be easier for a camel to

than for a foreigner to enter Russia
these days without a passport, says
st. Petersburg correspondent.
The system is getting more and
more rigid instead of being relaxed.
After making a good deal of official
fuss on your entering the country
carefully scrutinizing the passport,
copying it and taking it from you
from time to time-they make the
same fuss on your leaving. They
keep harassing you during your
stay with questions as to when you
intend leaving. They give you the
idea that your presence among
them is matter of much concern
to them and that it will be great
relief to them when you are gone.

does not require it. The reason
for the crusade is said to be alto
