Back from LOngmOnt.

H. J. Beardmore, A. A. Harris
and G. F. Slee returned from their
southwestern trip last Saturday
morning. Mr.. and Mrs. Chas. Vent
eel and Mrs. Bennewitz are still.vis-
iting at Denver and Longmont, Col
orado, and Lyman P. Weld is at his
parents home. at River Falls, Wis.
On the outward trip Mr.. Beardmore
left the party at Denver and went to
Wyoming. Coming back he met
those who were returning at the
same place. Mr.. Harris says he will
move to Longmont this coming fall.
While he does not think it likely that
more money can be made there than
here, still he was pleased with the
locality, the climate, the water, and
the people, and wants to try it for a
longer time than such trip affords.
He says Longmont is situated on a
high rolling slope just at the base of
the foothills. Irrigation is practiced
extensively though the rainfall is
generally good. He saw wheat fields
that would yield 60 to 70 bushels to
the acre, and they are getting better
prices for their wheat than the Red
River Valley farmers are getting.
Sugar beets, fruits and canning pro-
ducts, ~~such as peas, corn, and etc.,
are prominent features of farming.
Sheep raising is largely followed.
The canneries and beet sugar factor
les afford plenty of employment for
labor. Brick is largely used in build
ing. Good soft coal, better than we
get here, is mined in the vicinity
and sells for So. SO per ton. Land is
high. probably averaging over 5000
per acre. Small tracts with good
buildings on them were offered for
$500 per acre. Such prices make a
man stop to think before he invests.
