WELD COUNTY FARMS.
Agricultural and Live Stock Statistics
for the Year.

Greeley.-After several weeks OF
careful gathering of statistics concern
ing the agricultural and stock interests
of Weld county, secretary Lowe OF the
Greeley Commercial Club has compiled
a report to be sent to the State Com
mercial association. 1t shows that
l5O. 900 head of sheep are being fed in
the county this year, twenty-five per
cent. less than the number last year.
Cattle on the range and being fed are
estimated at 44,300, value $SS6,OOO;
hogs 240O, value $4,000; horses 49,
600, value s975,000; and mules $50,
value $55,O00.
There were 10000 acres planted to
wheat, which produced an average OF
forty bushels to the acre. 100000
bushels, value $9i0,000; 10000 acres
hay, producing 10000 tons; potato
crop on 10000 acres, $500 carloads, or
2,S75 900 sacks, or 142,500 tons; 1900
acres planted in fruit, but no figures
were obtained as to the value of the
fruit crop. Production of oats, barley
and corn is consumed in the county
and no figures were gathered.
There were $4,000 to 10000 acres of
beets grown for the Eaton, Windsor
and Greeley sugar factories, with an
average of twelve tons to the acre,
making total of 100000, bring
S-,S00000 to the growers. The three
factories will make 100000 sacks of su.
ger of 100 pounds each. The cost of
raising an acre of beets is generally
estimated at $3S, and the profits $50
an acre. Robert Boyd had the high
est tonnage recorded, raising thirty
two tons on each of fifteen acres.
1t is estimated that 1000 to 5000
acres in the county are being culti-
waited by the Campbell system of dry
farming. All these figures are con-
servative, and the sheep and agricul-
tural interests easily total $6,500,000 as
the output this season.

"During the investigation of the Oil

that largely by virtue of it the stand

parts of the country and thereafter
reap the benefits of monopoly.

During the fiscal year indictments

Fort Collins Sugar Factory.

Denver.-A Fort Collins dispatch of
the 18th inst. says: Beet growers in
this factory district are practically
through digging the years crop, but
there are thousands of tons yet to be
delivered to the factory. Owing to the
unprecedented storms in October and
November the farmers have had long
hard pull gathering the crop and the
work has cost them thousands of dol
lars more than usual, owing to bad
roads for hauling and the high prices
paid for labor. The railroad company
has already delivered more than 5000
carloads of beets to the local factory
in addition to thousands of tons which
have been hauled by teams, and it is
estimated that there are at least 1000
tons to come. The third and last pay
ment for beet growers this season oc-
ours next Saturday, when it is ex.
pected between 100000 and $500 900
will be paid to the growers. The No
vember payment amounted to about
100000.
