cured possession of homestead four
and half miles to the south.

quarters of mile south of LaSalle
from F. J. Mccarthy and has already
taken possession.
George Thinning, little farther
south, has purchased business prop.
erty up in the Wellington commun-
ity and will probably move up there
this summer, just when he has not

the popular families Of the LaSalle
neighborhood, the kind that it Is
not at all helpful for the vicinity
to lose.
The James Conlon ranch, occupied
bv Charles Jepson. has been improved
by the erection OF good barn. All
of these evidences Of improvement
over the country show thrift and
consequent prosperity on the part Of
the owners of real estate.
VIM. Schlecht, who has been doing
some of the scientific beet work at
the John S. Root ranch, will change
location to the T. Callahan ranch
this year. MIR. Schlecht has been
having serious trouble with his

to experience relief.
r W. DeVinney, of the county
board, has a fine tract of two hun
dred and forty acres south of LaSalle
known as Cloverdale farm. He has
a flock OF seven hundred ewes at the
home farm and another bunch on the
Barr ranch. Unlike most of the
sheep men MIR. DeVinney raises his
own stock. AK and saw have been
welded to good effect in the DeVin-
ney yard and the place out to the
fence has been almost denuded of
cottonwoods. Watch was made at
budding time and the cotton bearing
trees were marked for slaughter. A.
Callahan is another farmer who is
cutting out the cottonwoods in the
front yard.
John S. Root is the owner OF 26O
acres of valuable Weld county soil.
The embarrassment connected with
beet raising has cut this out as a
staple crop on this place but Mr..
Roots son will manage twenty acres.

wheat and quantity Of alfalfa.
The latter crop is especially produc-
tive on the land In this vicinity, a
seasons crop averaging five tons to
the acre.

is another farm yielding a bumper
crop of alfalfa. The resideL ce on
this place has been much improved
by wire fence enclosure.

has given an interesting demonstra-
tion OF intensified farming in onion
culture. In a tract IS feet square
he grew last season a total Of 3, 257
pound. This farm home shows
one Of the best kept yards any where
on the route and 1t will certainly be
beautiful place in summer.

settlement of Germans, practically q
colony, comprising several Bohlander
