Recently there has been great
deal of chatter concerning race sui
eide. But perhaps you didn't know
that the Great Western Sugar COM
pany is doing all within its power
to follow out the Rooseyeltian policy
in the Greeley district and encour-
aging everything else but race sui
eide. A baby is an asset to the sugar
beet farmer and the more children
he has in his wagon when he comes
to the sugar factory in Greeley. the
better terms he can make with the
sugar company.
A baby in the beet growing dis
tricts of Weld county is actually
worth real money. The sugar COM
pany knows this and about the first
question the manager asks when
making up lease for beet and is
the number of children in the fam
lily. The more children, the more
money will be advanced by the sugar
company and the family whose mem
bers can ride on one seat doesn't
stand show with the family mat
nils a wagon to overfowing.

WONDERBERRY A
FAILURE IS
OPINION

Greeley's wonderberry is exploded.
Those who have been experimenting
with this production of the wizard,
Luther Burbank, may now safely
abandon all hope of making it either
profitable or useful. In communi-
cation to the editor of the Tribune
received Wednesday morning. it is
stated that the berry had been lab
eled worthless" by the judges of
the Massachusetts horticultural So
ciety. The berry plant, which was
expected to prove rival to the
blueberry, was displayed at a fair
given by this society and, as in Gree
ley, attracted good deal of atten-
tion.. But after examination the
judges decided that it had no COM
mercial value. There are several
samples of the wonderberry on ex-
hibit among Weld county products
at the Interstate fair in Denver this
week.

Lamb Feeders Buying Slowly

Farmers throughout Weld county
who have for several years past en-
gagged in the lambfeeding business,
are delaying more than usual th's
year in selecting and purchas'hs
their feeding stock. AS yet the TRACE
in feeding lambs has not opened uP
very actively and buyers are holu'nh
back in the hone OF securing some
concessions in prices.
Some contracts have been maue
on the range at IS, weighed at polh'
of loading, but they are not nuine'
GUS While the farmers in TINS seV
tion have no intention OF reur :
from the lamb feeding business th.
chances are that not as many as iua,
year will be fed during the corh'n7
winter.

east OF Grover were considered
worthless and not OF sufficient i'm

In that section OF Weld county has
SO increased in value In the time

half fthe mortgages five years ago.
the land will now not only pay the
mortgages, but will settle for the ac-
crued interest as well and leave a

cases there was perhaps grounds for
the complaint. but little advice
proved to be the remedy that fitted
the case. In the majority of cases
the evils were either magnified or
purely imaginary and to name some
of the women who have at divers
times imagined they wanted to Sc
cure divorces. would be to spring
several large surprises among the
society set OF Greeley. Afterwards
the differences have been patched up
