exceeded the expectations OF the most
sanguine and Notwithstanding the un-
favorable conditions which prevailed
in some localities and which cut down
the harvests to considerable extent
the total output from Weld county
fields, gardens and farms will reach
IS 100000 this season.

bushels. Growers have received all
the way from 70 cents to s Ia sack.
and about one-half the harvest is

least, with less acreage than in previ-
GUS years.
Wheat, oats and barley fields gave
the best yields in years and the grain
returns to the county will be close to
100000.

al, and tomatoes. cabbage. peas. beans
and cucumbers that went to the can
ming factories brought $150,o0o to their
growers.
Alfalfa hay was not up to the nor
NAL yield. but because OF its high
price brought 100000 to the county,
and the shipments of hogs, cattle.
sheep fattened for markets. poultry,
dairy products and honey and root
crops make up the remainder of the
