VITAL STATISTICS BUREAU.

'person has died of an infectious or,
communicable disease, smallpox,
cholera, diphtheria, scarlet fever, cry
sipelas, before a burial permit Is is
sued the body must be so prepared
for burial that there is no danger of
a spread of the disease in the COM
munity. This not only safeguards
the public, but by means of these re-
ports of deaths coming in from all
over the state, properly tabulated
and classified, the state board of
health Is able to learn the infected
districts and spots that need cleaning
up. Through its sanitary inspectors
and engineer, the cause OF such pre-
valence of disease is learned and
proper regulations enforced as will
stop this needless slaughter of the
citizens of the commonwealth.
The entire force of the bureau and
state board of health is engaged in
appointing suitable men at distances
Of few miles. over the entire state.
These are the local registrars, who
not only will report births and
death but arrangements are being
perfected so that they will report the
cases of infectious and dangerous dis
eases that occur in their district and
which do not necessarily die. When
this system is in operation Kentucky
will be on an equal footing for pro-
curing these vital facts as the state
of Pennsylvania. which spends the
sum of $4,000 900 each year for
health work.
( The voting precinct is being used
as the unity for the territory each
local registrar will cover in his re-
ports. When two or more units can
be combined to advantage, resulting
in no inconveni ,nce 20 the people,
this arrangement is made. Already
hundreds of acceptances have been
received from men all over the state
and include bankers, lawyers, teach
ers, farmers, clerks and in nearly
all instances. people who are inter
ested in promoting public health
work. 1t Is mainly the work Of send
ing the proper blanks and instruc-
lions that will occupy the time till
the operation OF the law on Jan. 1.
1911.

Bowling Green, Ky, Nov. 2s.
Especial active preparations are
being made here for the operation of
the bureau Of vital statistics law,
which goes into effect Jan. 1, 1911.
This law provides for the reporting
and recording of all births and deaths
and the collection Of morbidity sta
tistlcs. II Is a department of the
state board of health and is one far
reaching in it's Importance TO the well
fare and lives of the people of Ken
tucyy.
Kentucky has placed herself in the
front rank of states doing most for
the preservation of health and in the
establishment OF a bureau of vital
statistics she Is the first of the en-
tire south to take this long-neglected
step.
Ohio, Massachusetts,. Indiana, Penn

souri,, California and nine other
states have a successful operation
such a department maintenance of
records of births and for a more sue
cessful fight against he ravages of
disease, by means OF the certificates
of deaths returned to the state office.
The state registrar, DR.. w. L. Hell
ger. who will inaugurate and manage
the bureau of vital statistics, has just
returned from an extended visit in
Ohio, Michigan and Pennsylvania
and Washington, ID. c., where he
studied the operation of the law in
those states which are declared by
DR.. Greasy L. Wilbur, chief statisti-
clan of the federal government, to be
the best in operation in the United
States.
Kentucky's bureau will be a com
'bination of the best features Of these
states with some suggestions of the
census department added.
Under the law, before a body is
buried, the undertaken must pro-

A PLACE of PROMISE
Irrigated Farms

There are several Thousand Ofacres
Of irrigated lands in Rio Blanco
county, and still thousands OF acres
more are to Irrigated In the near fu-
ture.
fThe White river carries enough
Water each season to irrigate more
than million and half acres OF
lsnd-and already the government
has surveyed canal right-of-ways and
Hid out . gigantic system Of reser-
voirs OF the scheme known as the
White River Irrigation project, an
enterprise of such gigantic dimen-
sions that some 228, 600 acres will be
watered from it, some Of the finest
and richest land of both Rio Rlanco
and Roptt county coming under the
water, and, while the government has
temporarily side-tracked the propo-
sition, private concerns Of financial
standing and building reputation are
endeavoring to secure the options on
right-of-way and reservoir sites from
the government, and they will no
doubt be successful In their endeav-
ors, being forced to wait until the u.s.
ual amount Of government red tape
has been gone through with.
Irrigated lands of Rio Blanco coun-
ty are selling at from $S5 to t85 per
acre, including perpetual water rights
Of sufficient proportion TO water any
amount Of land desired.
These land prices are ridiculously
low as they now stand, but were Rio
Blanco county to be suddenly blessed
with q railroad these prices would
double within a year, for nowhere
else in the Union does irrigated land
sell for less than 500 to 1925 an acre.
Lack Of shipping facilities is the
only thing holding back these prices,
and it being known fact that this
lack will not always exist, the pur-
chase OF tract of such land would
prove a profitable Investment because
| Of the increased value incident with
the building of q railroad into this
section on the one hand, and because
of the prolific yields Of such land and
the good markets found right at
home. You can rest assured that a
demand for all the hay and oats you
raise will give you a sufficient in
come for all needs-snd more.

Hog Raising

Disease being an unknown factor
In hog raising In Rio Blanco county,
the farmer would not have this de-
ceminator. to contend with. Peas,
barley, sugar beets, potatoes and al
falfa yield such prolific crops. The
summers are mild and cool These
three conditions would make this in.
dustry perhaps the most profitable Of
any actively engaged in In Rio Blan-
co county. But here again we aIe
handicapped by lack Of shipping ia
cilities. Had we the facilities to ship
out hogs as we could raise them, Rio
Blanco could easily ship 100000 hogs
to markets annually.
Our farmers are DESTROYS of going
into the hog raising business on
large scale, and we prophesy that,
with the advent of railroad, Rio
Blanco county will ship more hogs
annually than any other county in
the state of Colorado.
Hog raising will be q profitable oc-
cupation In Rio Blanco, and soon.

RIO BLANCO COUNTY
A PLACE Of PROMISE
Dry Farming

Dry farming IN Rio Blanco county
IL . success, owing to the beneflcence
Of Mother Nature In providing good
soils and exceptional climatic condi-
tons, and that her offerings In this
respect are acceptable is testified to
by the accrescent numbers entering
onto lands In this rain belt country
Of the White River Valley.
None here who have for some years
past been engaged In dry farming In
this section have been heard to speak
in any manner Indicating anything
but true satisfaction with the returns
received for their labors.
True the dry farmer has had to APP
ply himself diligently and constantly
to his tasks-slovenly and half-heart-
ed efforts efforts go unreward here as
they do elsewhere.
Unwatered lands average in yield
as follows:
Wheat, IS bushels to the acre.
Barley, 30 bushels to the acre.
Oats, 80 bushels to the acre.
Rye, 80 bushels to the acre.
Potatoes, $50 to 800 bu. per acre.
Alfalfa, 4 tons to the acre.
Bronze grass also grows prolific.
We present these statements with
out exaggerating In the slightest de-
gree; and we are In q position to YER
ify them, and also, that in several
instances larger yields have been
Rarnered by our farmers.
Our abundant rainfall, which
measures Is inches annually on the
highlands and 10 inches on the low
lands is what makes the growing Of
such immense crops possible.
Such dry farm land as is for sale
commands from $l5 to $S5 an acre
but very little Of this land is on the
market, yet here, as elsewhere, . few
landowners desire to migrate.
There is still . small amount Of
good dry farming land to be secured
by homesteading,-but the amount Is
small enough to warrant our advice
that immediate action is necessary
on the part Of those wishing to take
up any Of this land, for each day
witnesses the arrival OF some fore
sighted land seeker DESTROYS Of secur-
ing portion thereof.
The Meeker herald., 1910-08-13
Potato Growing

No section OF the state grows bet
ter potatoes, nor greater yields to the
acre than does Rio Blanco county
land, and were we SO situated Ms to
be able to ship to markets easily and
quickly. Rio Blanco spuds would be
In a. great demand ~ Rio Blanco
oats.
This one crop alone, II raised in the
quantities possible would assist mat
erially in placing Rio Blsnco in the
van as . producing section.
$50 bushels Of potatoes to the acre
Is an average yield. Large, mealy,
and Of unexcelled flavor, our product
would find favor with judges from
every known quarter. Bio Blanco
could ship, annually, 10000 bushels
or more, and not take up enough
land to reduce the production Of other
crops in the slightest.
Potato bugs are unknown In this
county, hence all spraying would be
eliminated, adding to profits and in
creasing production.
