potuto Yield Is Short

Conservative estimates put the po-
tato yield from the Greeley district
this season between 5000 and 5000
carloads, 1000 carloads less than
was estimated two months ago. The
crop is only good in spots, blight hav-
ing attacked the fields in many local
tiles and potato bugs and grasshop-
pers injuring the vines and cutting
down the harvests. Average fields
will yield from seventy-fve to ninety
sacks an acre, which in good years
have given double that harvest. The
quality is good, however, and many
of the smaller potatoes Will be Kept
for seed next season. Farmers are
receiving 20 cents hundred tof

will be stored to await high prices

In reference to the proposed fed
eral income tax a member of con-
gress said that its imposition would
make America a nation of liars.
Without passing upon the merits of
such tax, it is clear that the
objection thus raised would apply
to any tax in which mans pro-
perty is in any way involved. Doubt
less when county, town, or city as
SCISSORS make their usual rounds to
determine the tax each man has to
pay many lies are told them, but it
is never said that the community is
one of liars. While in making
sworn statements as to the income,
personal property and real estate
many may perjure themselves, yet
the old-fashioned honesty is SO
strongly entrenched in our indivi-
dual and national life that in most
cases a truthful answer is given.
