GREELEY GROWS
WHOPPING ONES
THE BEST CABBAGE ON EARTH
New Bulletin Issued BY State Agri.
cultural COLLEGE.

Cabbage growing in Colorado has
been followed by few men In the
Greeley district as a business for the
past fifteen years.
Nearly all parts Of the United
States grow cabbage to some extent.
but 1t remains for the cooler parts
of the country to produce this vege-
table profitably. Northern New
York leads by far any other section
in the production OF this vegetable
This is partly because of market de-
mands and partly because of favor
able climate. A comparative study
OF that section and Colorado condi-
tions will show that Colorado has q
decided advantage In lessening cost
OF production and yield per acre.
Few people have appreciated the
advantage that this industry has Of
fered in Colorado In the past ten
years. One man has grown cabbage
on the same land for the last four
teen years. This land cannot be
bought for less than 5000 per acre.
The average annual yield on this
land has been at least 10000 pounds
per acre.
While the price OF cabbage huctu-
ates considerably from year to year,
there has been no year in the past
ten when the crop would not bring
20 cents a hundred pounds. and
some years the price has gone as high
as 5000 hundred pounds. The
average price for the month of Oc-
t~l> a l. <~S -
ing shippers of Greeley, has been
about b cents per hundred pounds.
One man on the Greeley bottoms
produced $4,000 pounds of cabbage
per acre on a twelve-acre field. This
was sold at rs cents a hundred
pounds, and cost, for growing and
marketing. between $50 and $35,
leaving a net return of S34O per
acre. This last fall the shipments
of cabbage from the northern Colo
RADIO district. taking in the territory
above the Union Pacific railroad
from Denver to Greeley, and on the
C. & s. railroad from Greeley &c
Fort Collins, were between 500 Rnf
900 cars
So far the higher attitudes OF thf
state have not shipped much cab
bage, although the natural advan-
| tages there are in some ways better
than in the districts mentioned.

LETTER FROM CHARLES CAMP
Tells Some Things About California

The following letter from Chas.

visit to California couple of weeks

ter upon the potato situation In Cal

ter of the state. and in the heart Of
the potato district:
Fresno, Cal, Jan. 81. 'O9.
C. H. Wolfe,
Greeley. Colo.
My Dear Mr.. Wolfe:
Seeing that you made quite an ef-
fort to inform the Greeley people as
to potatoes from California a short
time since. l am sending you q copy
OF the Fresno Republican of yester-
day that seems to size up the Cal
ifornia situation, and from conver-
sation with principal wholesalers
here 1t appears that this article ia
about correct, and that there are
still on hand only about 1000 cars,
and as the new crop will not come on
before June 1, the state will con-
sumo all the potatoes now being
held and will not send any more to
Texas or to any of our markets this
winter. The grocers are retailing
their stock at Fresno at $1.75 per
100 pounds now.
There is plenty of rain here and
lot more at and above Sacramento.
1t is green and warm in this vicinitv.
with both rain and sunshine. and the
vineyardists are blowing to keep
down the new growth.
Yours truly.

A CoMMENDABI4E ACT.

AT a recent term of court in Algona
Judge Bailie did very commendable
act Some time last summer a young
boy who was without home or parents
and who was allowed to shift for him
self came over into Kossuth county near
Bode and stole horse. He was arrest
ed and given a jail sentence for en-
deavoring to sell the horse. When his
time expired in the Humboldt Jail the
sheriff of Kossuth county was on hand
and arrested him for the theft and
young Haugan was placed In Kossuth
county Jail to await his Indictment by
the grand jury The matter coming
to the ears of Judge Bailie he proceed
ed to investigate the matter and upon
the promise of an uncle of the boy TO
take him and care for him the boy was
given his liberty. The act is a very
commendable one for in all probability
had the case been pushed the boy
would have been sent to the peniten-
tiary for term of years. AS a gem
eral thing this results in sending a boy
to perdition for the mark of Cain is
upon every one who comes out of the
penitentiary and it is a mighty hare
matter for them to reform. Ole Haugan
as the matter now stands has a chance
to become q better boy and vet time to
grow into a useful man and citizen. Foi
this chance he has to thank Judge

Cleveland and Tom L. johnson

La Toilet te's Weekly.l

La Follette's is in receipt of a letter
from one of its readers, protesting
against an article which recently APP
peared on Mayor Johnson of Cleveland
In ii. the writer says that Cleveland
people say he is past master in the
art of politics." that he is insincere.
No man can judge another mans
motives But actions speak louder than
promises and a mans record is the
best possible proof of his sincerity.
Here are some of the achievements
of Mayor Johnson during his nine
years mayoralty.
During that time he lost one half
his fortune. which was estimated in
the millions, by reason of his engross-
ment in public work and the neglect of
his personal affairs.
Prior to his election, the council was
gray wolves" whose dishonesty was
exposed in the public courts. For
nine years there has been no suspicion
of graft in the administration of the
city of Cleveland. unique record
/ among American cities.
The foundations of Cleveland have
been completed on most compre-
hensive scale. Cleveland is said to be
the best built city and the most far
sighted of cities in its planning. The
water supply has been purified. the
sewer system completed,-the street.
paved and shaded with city-planted
trees.
The parks have been popularzed. a
score of Fairgrounds have been opened
Public music, three public baths ant
all sorts Of recreation for the people
has been furnished.
The tax rate has been cut down: the
price Of illumination from a private
company reduced A municipal gar
bage plant and electric lighting plan
have been opened
The inspection of slaughter houses
of meat. food and milk was perfected
long before the disclosures of the fed
eral government at Chicago brough
these questions to public notice.
Under his administration the mos
comprehensive program in the worl
has been worked out for the care o
the unfortunate classes. A two hous
and acre farm was acquired. Upon
, the poor and unfortunate, the tuber
culosis and infrmary patients hav
been homed in comfortable and health
full surroundings Here they produc
their own keep. on a farm. A city farm
school know as "Boyville' has bee
opened for street urchins, while the ad
| ministration of the police department
the suppression of vice and disorder
are recognized as in advance of that @
any other American city.

humane and progressive administration
as We'll
Why then was Tom Johnson defeat
ed? Tom johnson dared to use his
business experience and powerful tai
ents for the people He raised his
voice against special privilege. He
stood for the ownership of the streets
by the people and refused to renew
street railway franchise except on
terms which fully protected every
public right. The private Illuminating
company was being undermined by the
city plant The steam railroads We're
being ousted from their Illegal accu-
pancy of the lake front They were
also demanding other land worth mill
lions of dollars more for depot pur-
poses.
Tom Johnson insisted that he held
his retainer from the people. He was
their attorney In so doing his OPP
ppnems said he had deserted his class.
SO privilege used the millions ac-
auired under previous administrations,
to subsidize the press, to spread sus-
picion, to indulge in vituperation and
abuse. to villify all who opposed its
demands. Privilege said Tom Johnson
was ambitious, that he was insincere,
that he was a de1nagogue. Privilege
said it was time for change. 1t made
use of the courts to hamstring the adj
lninistration in its efforts.
And nine years of insidious abuse and
| inuendo finally told. The people grew
tired of the agitation. They wanted
peace. just as they did in Chicago some
years ago They laid down in the
| harness
! The Cleveland struggle shows in
miniature how the machinery of gov
eminent, ostensibly intended for the
peoples use. is geared up against the
people: it shows how unavoidable it is
in the hands of the many but how
easy it is in the hands Of the few The
city, like congress. is bound like Gull
liver with thousand thongs, when i,
seeks to achieve deliverance from priv
4 ilege. The city could not enter the
electric lighting business as it willed
1t could not settle the street railway
question as 1t wished. 1t could no.
own the railways nor turn them over tc
