A good rain fell here last week
which insures a splendid corn CROP
for this community. On account OF
the hot dry weather cotton has de-
Perforated considerably and the pros

Hay crop good as far as it goes, but
the acreage short, which is always
the case when everybody goes wild
about cotton.
The Knight brothers are conduct
ing singing school here; large

church. Everybody come and hear
some nice music.

to the development of the farm land
along their lines.
Those at the head of the public
school system of the state have
changed their policy and now encour-
age the teachings of agriculture and
d jmestic science. The progressive
farmer is now regarded as the shrewd
man of business. The comic supple
ments of the Sunday papers no more
caricature the farmer as the hayseed
and country pumpkin. The leaders in
agricultural development are eliminat
ing the theorist and putting in his
place the teacher and lecturer who
talks practical common sense in Ian
guage the farmer can understand.
While We are importing many
things we should be raising at home;
while there is still evidence of neglect
and Indifference ON the part of the
farmers of the past, we are going to
decrease the imports with home pro-
ducts and we are going to cover with
a mantle Of green the CALLED hillsides,
evidences of the poor farmingNof our
predecessors. Then we can in truth
boast of the richness, grandeur and
beauty of our own redeemed Tennes-

In the face of a general demand
for an economical administration

the deficit left by the Shafroth ad-
ministration, the Nineteenth general
assembly, another democratic exper-

upon the taxpayers of COLORADO.
The long session of the legislature
has cost the state about two hun
dred thousand dollars. The man.
ner in which the work has been at
tended to was evidenced in the
last two days, when bills we're liter
ally rushed through both houses
without a pretense of consideration.

seen during the closing hours OF

Annihilating = Range Industry

There are approximately 1.5OO.-
900 sheep on the ranges of Colo
rado. The total amount of wool
furnished by this state is over
100000 pounds. The total an
nual value OF the Colorado pro-
duct OF secured wool is approxi-
mately $1.50O.0O0.
The sheep business in the United
States has been almost stationary
for tem years. There has been a
downward tendency In the last
three or four years because of un-
certainty about the tariff situation.
This downward tendency will be ac-
celebrated under free trade. In
fact, the sheep business will hit
rock bottom. and. If wool Is admit
ted free. Colorado Is going to say
goodbye to an industry which in
wool alone amounts to a million
and a half dollars in a year. The
yield from the sales of sheep for
market purposes. and for fattening
range sheep at Fort Collins and
other feeding points. will increase
this total manifold. but. considered
from the standpoint of wool alone.
free trade Is going to mean a
heavy blow to Colorado financially.
The sacrifice OF an annual business
OF a million and a half dollars is
