of that farming community. The

With these bitches and priorities, it
L.upton is more than taken care of
from IN irrigation standpoint. and
as this is the main strength of an
agricultural community, particular
stress is laid upon the water supply
for irrigation. An aggregate of 49,
225 acres is irrigated by the five
bitches.
The streets and improvements of
Fort Lupton are in good condition,
while the town taxes are the lowest
of any Incorporated town in Weld
county.
A water works system is being
planned for the town, and from all
indications will soon be inaugurated
One of the big business concerns
adding much to the wealth of the
community is the Silver State Cream
cry and Produce company, managed
by o. +. Frink, ably seconded by
Mrs. Frink. Eleven years ago last
February Mr.. Frink. as he says,
walked into town. He rented the
old creamery at first. but nine years
ago bought the Malcolm creamery.
Business ran about $25 per day at
first. AS n comparison, last year Mr.
Frink bought the old creamery
building for n warehouse and one
month paid for farm labor alone

year in rent for garden tracts culti-

acres of tomatoes, fifty-five acres in
one field, This is said to be the
heaviest acreage of any one person
west of Chicago. Last years aver
