10000 cans are filled in a day.
Longmont boasts. further, of the largest
asparagus bed In the world. This bed

about six feet apart, and the plants are
twelve to fifteen inches apart in the rows.
The demand for asparagus today is greater
than the suRply.
One more agricultural novelty in Colo

One and one-fourth cents per pound Is paid
for picking. which enables expert pickers
to make as high as $3.50 per day. A cur

gallons. Owing to irrigation, it is claimed
that the berries are superior In flavor to
those grown under other conditions.

Apropos of paragraph describing the

mother announcing the divorce of her still
happier daughter, a correspondent writes
to say that he regards the innovation as
good one. 1t does something, he thinks
to prevent those embarrassing compiled
lions that are so frequent when nobody
knows who has been divorced from whom

emily mislaid her list of divorced intimates:

exclaimed. 81 shall stop giving dinners.
