LAST BAND CONCERT OF
SEASON THURSDAY NIGHT

The concluding number of the open
air concerts by the Canon City Mill
tary band for the current season clos
ed Thursday night by the rendition OF
a special program at the City park. In
spite Of the chilliness of the atmos-
phere there was several hundred peo-
pie present and the music was reat-
ly enjoyed. These concerts have been
an appreciated attraction during the
summer months II the large crowds
which have attended them may be
taken as an indication of their popu-
larity. The Canon City Military band
is an organization Of which its friends
are proud and its concerts have done
much to encourage the public taste
for high class music. The abandon
ment of these open air concerts will
be very generally regretted.

ity of Eight Mile Park, was in town on
Thursday and reported having seen a
big Cinnamon bear cross the Park
dale road the previous day and dis
appear in the direction of the public

had been driven out OF his haunts by
hunters in the nighborhood Of Bum

chase but was unable to overtake his
bearship. Visitors to the top Of the

NORTH NEBRASKA IS
THE POTATO BELT
"sPuDs ARE KING" IN BROWN,
ROCK AND kEYA PAHA.

John M. Cotton, in the Ainsworth
Star.Journal treats as follows of the
development of the potato raising In
dustry in north Nebraska:
The Nebraska potato belt is al
ready famous throughout the land. 1t
differs from the Colorado potato belt
in this, that our potatoes are grown
without irrigation and are therefore
meatier, more tasteful and give forth
a finer odor when cooked The Colo
RADIO potato Is fed too largely on
water. 1t grows to an immense size,
it's skin Is white and its meat is white,
but It lacks those essentials that make
a potato such popular vegetable
and which are the distinguishing char
acteristics of the Nebraska potato.
The Nebraska potato belt includes
principally, the counties of Brown
Rock, Keya Paha, part of Cherry,
Sheridan, Dawes, Sioux and Box
Butte, and in this territory are grown
the finest and best potatoes grown
anywhere on earth.
This Is something of recent dis
covery. While since the earliest set
tlement it has been known that our
potatoes were especially fine in all
the desirable qualities, it was not
until the last few years that they
begun to attract the attention OF
potato consumers in other parts of
the state and in other states of the
union. 1t was then that they grew
to be in such demand that hundreds
of farmers in this section of the state
began to devote themselves to their
culture.
At first the ventures were small
few acres just as an experiment.
When they succeeded well with them
they tried again on larger scale, I'M
til now many farmers have from FIVE
to forty acres in potatoes, and some
more.
Last year the acreage was larger
than ever before, the yield was finer
and larger and the price better. In
consequence heaps Of dollars poured
into this section in exchange for our
potatoes. 1t is safe to say that farmers
of Brown county who were at all in
the potato business averaged 800 per
acre for their crop. Some did better.
Joseph Blot who lives between
| A;n.run,+b onJ 1n1 Dino had ahOnt
$125 an acre on his crop.
This year the acreage Is much
larger than ever before. Encouraged
by the great success of last year,
farmers are striving for a leadership
in this potato growing business.
P. e. Skillman, secretary Of the
Brown County Potato Growers asso-
citation estimates that there are at
lesat 500 acres on the Buffalo flats
alone. This is about half the acreage
in the COMMUNICATING about 1000
acres all told. The acreage will
probably be larger than that.
The season here has been very
favorable and in a short time the
crop of 1908 will be an assured fact
It ought to be the largest and best in
the history of the county.
The crop in the eastern and south
ern part of the state, and largely In
Iowa, Missouri and Kansas, is fail
ure, and they are already looking tc
this section for their potatoes.
