Signing Contracts Freely

The canvass for the sugar beet acre
age is progressing nicely aud those
making the canvass say there will be
no difficulty in securing the required
number of acres under the new con-
tracts. Those who had previously
signed contracts are renewing them,
and others who heretofore had declin-
ed to negotiate for acreage are putting
their signatures to contracts ut the
increased price per ton. The addi-
tional amount which the new con-
tracts call for is quite an item, as on an
average crop it Will be equivalent to
the rent value of the land Sterling

1t has been proven that greater yield
is received from this wheat than any
other kind, but it was not believed
that it would produce good bread bak-

bread made from it is excellent and
keeps It's moisture better than any
other variety.

Reservoir Affairs Moving Forward
The directors of the JuIesburg

day the boards attorney, Judge

field completed his bond of
So, ,00o.0O by turning over to the
directors as collateral S35, 100000
worth of water stock IN the Bijou
irrigation ditch in Morgan county.
The filing of this bond provides
ample assurance that the rcser-
voir will be built according to the
contract, and Mr.. Camticld stated
that unless he succeeded in clos
ing Il contract with Fitzpatrick
Bros. or some other firm. for the
construction, that he would make
arrangements to have the work
done under his own supervision.
At this meeting the board con
sidered the application of Jona.
than Porter to have the William
Ritchie land removed from the
district, and they decided that
the matter was outside of their
jurisdiction. The application of
J. r. Drake to have some hay
land set out Of the district was
postponed until tue next meeting
of the board, which will be on
Tuesday, January 10.
Wednesday the directors sealed
the bonds issued by the district
and sent them to the Information
al Trust company, of Denver,
which was made trustee, the Citi-
zens bank, OF Julesburg, having
declined to act in this capacity.
There is now nothing in the
way OF the construction of the

is possible.

have been the best for several years
Rains were copius during Il large part
Of the grazing season and consequent
ly the production OF grass on the plains
was very good. The lack of water was
not feltas In some former years for the
reason that many springs were kept
flowing by the rains. This made Il
condition qLite favorable for grazing.
Last winter was unusually severe on
range stock and they came into spring
in poor condition, thus necessitating
more grass in summer to prepare them
for market. The wheat crop was quite
promising until the first Of August by
which time an overplus OF dampness
created rust and most fields were cut
down One-half in yield while Others
did not suffer- so badly. Still some of
the fields yielded thirty bushels to the
acre. Seven hundred tons OF sugar
beets were shipped to the factory and
the fields yielded from twelve to tif-
teen tons. Potatoes we're fairly good
and returned l25 bushels in many in
