yesterday by which William Met
calf of Windsor becomes the owner
of another dry farm. This makes
five dry farms owned by Metcalf.
each of which comprises a section
and are all farmed according to the

sfvoir and the purchase price was
% per acre. This fall Metcalf will
hgeak the land and next spring and
Summer will cultivate 1t thoroughly.
A year from this fall he will SOW it
70 winter wheat. Every farm is
planted in this manner every second
year.
Mr.. Metcalf is now threshing the
wheat, which is the only crop he
raises. from a 500 acre tract near
Tie Oklahoma district and states
that it will average thirty bushels.
His five larms are all separated by
many miles. His idea being that II
ase is hailed out or dryed out or
eaten with the grasshoppers there
will still be chance of saving the
otAers.
His home ranch is at Windsor
where he has 800 acres under water.
Tie other farms are all in dry land
asd he raises nothing but fall wheat.

with a wooden leg. made another es-

this morning.
He was brought down from Num-
Wednesday by Deputy Sheriff
Frazer
He sneaked away from the hos
pital grounds at daylight this morn
ing and kept in hiding until the
court house was opened at o'clock.
He was acquainted with Mr.. Peter
son, the clerk in the county COM
missioner's office. He told Mr.. Pet
erson that he had come to Greeley
on business and did not have a cent
left with which to get home. AS a
rule the county would rather fur
nish transportation than to stand
the expense of feeding man for a
long period and he remembered that
the man had formerly been cared
for at the county's expense. Nj.
Petersen not knowing that Hall had
been brought down the night before
by deputy was glad to send him
back home.
II just happened that the deputy
sheriff was at the depot as Hall was
about to board the train. When
questioned as to his escape, Hall
produced the order for his ticket
and stated that the officials were
through with him and had sent him
back home.
Not satisfied with the explanation
the deputy sherf1 called up the
sherif's office and was told that
the hospital warden had Just arrived
there to report Halls escape.
He was taken to the county Jail
where he will remain unil a COM

PIAATTEVILIE MAN CATCHES
GIGANTIC FISH IN ST. VRAlN

One OF the largest trout to be cap
tured this year in the state was
caught recently In the st. Vrain by
R. C. Snider OF Platteville, who with
C. 1. Kellow. Charles wasley and
Norman Hemthorne has recently
completed a trip through the hills.
The trout, known a. the German
brook trout. weighed eight pounds
and twelve ounces and was 26h
inches long. The fish will be pre-
served.
This remarkable specimen OF the
nnny tribe was caught with an Or
dinary rod and line baited with a
smell hook and angle worm, about
four miles above the town OF Lyons.
on the north fork of the st. vrain.
Mr.. Snider saw the trout lying
under a rock some little distance
from the bank. He angled for 1t
about an hour before the fish could
be induced to swallow the bait. The
fisherman then got the fsh into
shallow water where 1t could do lit
tie but founder helplessly. During
the struggle the hook broke but
Snider maintained his hold and in
a short time had mastered the fish.
Old timers who have lived in that
part Of the country do not recollect
any such specimen ever being cap
tured before. Mr.. Snider is an ex-
perienced fisher and has fished from
the Mexican border to the Laramie
river from 1859 up to the present
time, but never in his whole fishing
career has he had the good fortune
to land such specimen of the
trout family. During the journey
back to Platteville the fish created
much interest along the route when
ever 1t was exhibited.

Did you ever stop to think Of the

you? Yet good many of US per-

to occupy our fields and think we
are doing pretty good farming too.
Why not grow grain or alfalfa, or
sugar beets or spuds, or some other
good crop where that weed tax is
now growing? The weeds give no
return. They draw more heavily on
the water supply and plant food sup
ply that paying crops. Paying crops
and weeds cannot occupy land at the
same time. Let us grow paying
crops and get prolits rather than pay
taxes.
Pound for pound. the plant food
required by crops and by weeds 10
almost the same. but weeds are bet
ter food gatherers. The greatest diff
ference comes when the question of
water arises. Weeds not only re-
quire more water but are able to
get it. From 800 to 700 pounds Of
water are used in producing q pound

Weeds require even more. II II
