Tried Dry Farming.

Just at this time, while the Camp
bell dry farming process is attracting
attention of the farmers of the west,
1t may be OF some interest to them
to learn Of the results of those who
have grown their crops with the dry
farming process in section near
Ault this summer. o. Christopher
who is now proving up on dry
homestead eight miles northeast OF
Ault tells of his experience with dry
farming this summer. His land is
several miles from any irrigating
ditch and has no water on it. This
is his first summer on. it and the sod
was broken for the first time. He
has l60 acres In all, but cultivated
but twenty acres, fifteen of which
he put in corn, one-quarter of an
acre in peas, the balance in pump
kins, Hubbard squash, potatoes and
watermelons. He says although it
was the first of June before he
planted anything his crops are good.
HIS corn, ne says, VIII average eight
feet in height and some stalks are
nine feet tall, nearly all having two
ears averaging twelve inches in
length. The pumpkins and squash
average in size with those of the
same kind in the market. The peas
were fine and an abundant crop.
The watermelons did we'll, some
weighing twenty-slx to twenty.
seven pounds. Mr.. Christopher says
there was but little rainfall after
the spring months, and, although he
is not thoroughly conversant Will
the dry farming process, he believes
it can be made success. He
planted no small grain but says he
will put in twenty acres of wheat
this fall.

CATTLE WEAK
Heavy Receipts of Poor to Med
ium Grades Reported

Denver Union Stock Yards, Oct.
all markets reported a liberal
run of the common and medium
cattle last week, and prices were
generally called lower on everything
that did mot show quality. Good
cattle were active and in strong de-
mand at firm prices. The run on
this market was very fair but good
many of ,the commoner grades in
cluded. Buyers were plentiful and
the movement active. Prices were
a little lower on the medium and
rough kinds on account OF the gen.
eral decline east. Good beef steers
| and COWS were very nearly steady
with the preceding week, but any
thing not tirst-class was 10 to 20 per
cent lower. Some choice steers
early in the week sold at $4. % but
it took good ones to land above S.. 10
and packers got very good grade OF
killers at So to So. 60. Cows sold up
to So but most of the trading was
done at So. 25 to S2.55. Bulls sold
strong at sl.75 to 81, and veals were
fully quarter lower than the week
before. Choice veals sold up to 81
but most of the fair to good went at
$3.50 to $3.75. Good feeders and
stockers were wanted and sold we'll
all week. Common and inferior
light stuff however, was slow and
prices Is to 25 cents lower than
the preceding week. Some good
North Park feeders sold at 1856 flat
and others at $3.50 freight paid.
These were about the best sales made
during the week and trading was
done largely at So to $500 with
common stuff all the way from S2 to
SO.
The supply here today was close to
3, 900 head, largely feeders. Trade
was slow to start but the demand
was good and the movement active
after the market got going. Prices
about steady with the close of last
week except on COWS which were
scarce and a little stronger.

Want Beet Road Extended

F. E. Bonitield, VIM. Mahood, W..
T. Porter and Harrison Teller went
to Greeley last Saturday to confer
with c. A. Granger with regard to
extending the beet railway from
Severance to the Mahood ranch.
AS the delegation went armed
with big bunch of contracts for the
growing of beets it is probable that
the proposition will receive favor
able consideration.
The farmers want the road ex.
tended to that neighborhood and are
willing to grow plenty of beets to
get it, as the contracts signed up in
dicate. Some, in fact, most of the
farmers, want to grow beets anyway,
but are prevented from doing so by
the distance, which is too great for
hauling. Beet growing is not the
doubtful proposition that it was two
or three years ago and the majority
OF farmers are glad OF an opportunity
to grow them. Windsor Poudre

MONEY " ASTED
Is That Spent on Fake Adver-
tising Schemes

The Sun breaks loose again this
week because the Tribune saw nj TO
sell page of its space to travelling
faker to be cut into inch cards and
sold to business men, and to print a
few hundred of blotters and wall
cards from the same type. 1T Is
case of sour grapes with that chrom-
cally sour faced sheet. The sun
would have jumped at the chance
to sell page of its space at half OF
the thirty dollars that the Tribune
received. But really, won't busl-
ness men ever stop biting at travel
ing fakers' advertising gratis? OF
the hundred and some advertisers
who patronized this faker's business
bulletin not half or scarcely fourth
are even occasional advertisers in
the Tribune or any other Greeley
newspaper. The card that they run
in this issue of the Tribune would
be sold to them for twenty-five cents.
They have been solicited to adver-
tise, literally hundreds of times, by
regular advertising solicitors OF this
and other Greeley papers. Yet 1t is
no trouble for smooth travelling
faker to work them for $50 for the
same service that they could buy
direct for 25 cents. in the paper, and
not to exceed the same sum for the
blotter. We can't say that we are
sorry for them. Any suggestion
that they stop spending money on
these fakes is usually met by the
answer that the local papers are
jealous of any outside scheme.
Greeley is high pasture for the
takers, whether they have fake ad-
vertising or fake stock schemes. The
public bites every time. Only a
few months ago little blonde
with naughty wink worked about
half the business men in town for
space in an alleged Catholic wal
card. There may be "a few of these
cards hanging on the walls around
town yet, but we doubt it. The
botter scheme has been worked in
Greeley dozen times in less than
that many years. Within the past
two weeks the town has been worked
for ads for housewives reminder
card. They can be found at half the
stores in town now, and in month
there won't be dozen of them in
existence outside somebody's garrett.
Yet the men who put ads in them
have parted with their cash for moth
ing.
If another advertising faker would
hit the town tomorrow, he could get
business Just as easy as this one. 1t
seems hardly necessary to state that
the Tribune had absolutely nothing
to do with the business bulletin ex-
cept to print the advertisements in
one issue of the paper, which is
done this week. Any other person
can buy page or ten pages of space
in the Tribune at any time, at the
same price.
1t seems pity to see so much
money spent on fake advertising.
If the money that goes out of Gree
ley each year for this sort of stuff
were spent in legitimate advertising
with one or all Of the home papers,
Greeley would support pretty fair
