Lupton Has Good Beet Crop

Fort Lupton. Nov. 11.-Sugar
beets in this district this season will
average II tons to the acre, or prac-
tically double the yield of last year.
The sugar content will average II
per cent this year, which will bring
the average price per ton to $5.75.
There are 1880 acres in this vicin-
ity that will yield 10000 tons. for
which the sugar factory will pay
$165,000. The farmers will get a
good return after paying for the
labor and taking care of the crops.
All OF the beet dumps in this vi
cinity are filled with beets awaiting
shipment. There are about 5000
tons at lone, $500 at Peckham. and
from 1000 to 5000 tons at other
stations.
N. E. Cook, the receiver at the
Fort Lupton dump, established new
record for unloading beet wagons
yesterday. For two consecutive
hours he unloaded one wagon each
minute. or 1870 wagons within the
two hours. His admirers are claim
ing that this establishes a new record
in the state. At any rate they are
willing to wager that he can win
from any other receiver In the state
in an unloading contest.

CONTESTS ARE DISMISSED
IN POUDRE CLAIMS

Twenty-four desert entrymen un-
der the Laramie-Poudre irrigation
project, who were in danger of losing
their claims through contests, have
been assured by Secretary of the In
terror Ballinger that the contests
against them will be dismissed. The
right of entrymen to offer as proof
Of money spent in reclaiming the
land under federal laws personal
notes given to an irrigation company
vas upheld.
Robert r. Blair filed a contest
against Jennie Alexander, who had
assumed the obligation to pay three
notes amounting to $500. made out
to the Laramie-Poudre Irrigation
company in 1905 by B. Learned. who
lad filed on the land originally de-
daring his intention to get water
nom Coal creek.
Many contests similar to that COM
menced by Blair were filed. 1t being
alleged that the giving of notes did
not constitute an expenditure of
money for improvements. 1t was also
claimed that an understanding exist
II between the company that the
notes were not to be paid and were
to be used to evade the law.
Tho decision states that there was
- evidence of fraud and that If the
irrigation project is carried out 1t
viii bring water to the land. The
sntrymen were given further time
to make final proof.

Hogs Eat Grasshoppers

]. H. Butterworth. a prominent
stockman and feeder of Longmont.
has large farm and feeding corrals
about three miles from Longmont,
where he feeds great many sheep
and lambs and also some cattle and
hogs. These hogs he has been run
ming during the summer on alfalfa.
The field was overrun with grasshop-
pers. as were all the northern Colo
RADIO alfalfa fields last year and Mr..
Butterworth states that the hogs
would get up in the night while the
hoppers were stiff and chilled and
eat them with a great deal of relish.
They thus not only cleared the field
of many OF the grasshopeprs but 1t
also furnished an excellent food for
the hogs.

TUBERCUIOSIs

Feeding experiments. conducted
by the United States Bureau of AMI
NAL Industry at Washington. have
conclusively proven that hogs are
readily infected with tuberculosis
through taking into the stomach the
faces and milk rom infected cat
tie. Meat inspection figures show
that about one per cent Of the cattle
and more than two per cent OF the
hogs slaughtered are tuberculous.
This condition is certainly alarming.
and should appeal to farmers to pro-
vide the best sanitary surroundings
and conditions for their stock. Pure
air. sunshine and wholesome food
are the best preventatives against
diseases, and it is evident that the
disease in hogs can materially be re-
duced by eradicating it from cattle
or by segregeting them.-University

tion. Constantly before their eyes

warning:
God Resisteth the Proud, but
Giveth Grace to the Humble"
Not that the placards were placed
as special warning to the newly
elected. The whole world is includ-
ed in the admonition. but 1t so hap
pens that Greeley county officers
get the largest dose Of the advice in
the smallest available space.
The humble instrument Of spread
ing the warning is David Ashbrook
who devotes his spare time to elnci-
dating heavenly commands as he in
terprets them He got his placards
scattered through the court house
without explaining who they were
intended to aid in particular. but the
facetiously inclined are prone to take
them as warnings to the new county
officers.

trict court, is accountable. partially
He was alone in his Office one da,

ings came in. Mr.. Madden was ask
ed how many he could use. provided

himself
"Oh, at least a dozen" he replied.
Mr.. Ashbrook was delighted. He
had only ten with him. but ne hur-
riedly secured the remaining two
and left them. with the admonition
that they be placed where all might
see. Mr.. Madden was too surprised
to protest. SO he bravely accepted
the inevitable. Now ono may read
