Crop Prospects Are Fine.

Grceley-Not in years has the en-
tire Greeley district and country ad'
joni1g given better prospects for a
good harvest at this season of the
year The recent rains have put the
moisture from twelve inches to eight,
cen inches deep into the soil ,and the
warm days have proven ideal grow
ing weather. Alfalfa, which was plant
ed with a liberal hand this spring, is
coming up well and the Old crop gives
evidence of making first rate cut
ting at an early date.
Beets are coming up and although
it was feared that the frost of last
week nipped the tender plants there
is no evidence of'injury. Fall wheat is
thrifty standing from four to eight
inches high and again proving that it
is destined to continue to be one o!
