LINCOLN FAVORITE POEM.
BY William Knox.

Lincoln was never tired of repeating
or quoting from the poem, 20, Why
| Should the Spirit of Mortal Be Proud?"
II is not known where he first cncoun-
tered it. but 1t was his favorite bit OF
verse.
o. why should the spirit OF mortal be

And the young and the old and the low

The peasant whose lot was to SOW and

The herdsman who climbed with his goats

To repeat every tale that has often been

For we are the same our fathers have

And run the same course our fathers have

Fertility OF Soil In Valley Under
GunnisOn Tunnel Project Cnques-
Crop OF Potatoes is Marvellous, as
is That of Apples.

The fertility of the soil in the
Uncompahgre valley has been fully
demonstrated again this year. ac-
cording to a statement made by the
farmers up the river to the editor
Iof the Olathe Criterion which is
hereto appended:
Zone of the best early spud
crops reported this year Is that
grown by Willard Hunt on the Niles
&. Brown ranch on California mesa.
Just north of the G. p. Broughton
orchard From l 5 acres of Charles
Downing's. Mr.. Hunt harvested
1875 sacks totaling 206.250 pounds.
which sold for. s2.26s.75. or a little
over $50 per acre for the entire
field. Can you beat it? l. N. Loper
sold 1915 worth of Early Ohios from
tour acres on his place three miles
south of town. besides reserving 1O.-
900 pounds for seed. This is also
a wonderful record"
During the past week there have
been four cars of early apples ship
ped from Olaehe. two cars going out
last Saturday and two the middle OF
the week. The apples all came from
Ash mesa. three cars being loaded
by Niles Brothers. and one car by
c. II. Brown and A. X. Flicker. Tho
apples were shipped to state points.
The principal varieties were Wolf
River and Fall Brush. Niles Broth
ers packed over 700 boxes OF Wolf
Rivers from so trees. which indicates
that the apple crop is long way
from being a failure. especially on
Ash mesa"
The above records are just what
can be done in many other parts of
the Uncompahgre valley. and within
"a short time we look for some very
interesting figures on production
from some of the new land under
the Gunnison tunnel that will be put
into cultivation next year.
