The beet growers of Weld county
averaged $S9 per acre last year. Some
land netter this much, but the aver
age was as above. This meant profit
of $50 an acre after paying help and
marketing the beets. No wonder farm
ers in that part of the state are be-
coming wealthy. But they have not
been faxed by a faker or led by a
backcapping newspaper like the peo-
pie of Durango and farmers of the
county. If La Plata county farm
ers could pocket $50 profit an acre
even 800 an acre after paying oper-
ating expenses, you would see land
selling from 5000 to $500 an acre in
stead of $40 to $75. The time is
coming, however, when the people of
the San Juan basin will not be fooled
by poverty stricken takers and strife
breeding newspapers, and then genu-
inc prosperity will be our lot. 1t has
been demonstrated that our soil is spe-
cially adapted to beet growing.

CENSUS REPORT OF FARM
LOANS IN THE l.. S.

The census of 1910 disclosed a

The total number of farms as as
ce,tained by the report is 6,3GI sol,
Of which 81 per cent was operated by
tenants and 62 per cent by owners. 1t
vas shown that tw). thirds Of ali the
faims operated by owners were free
from mortgages and that tn oncur,-

Of the actual value CT the prupert .es.
No sta.is rs were gathered .oacern-
ing the mortgage debt on tenant
farms. While the total nunller of
no. cages increased from 1900 TO
1910, the proportion of mortgages
to the total value was greatly de-
creased. The aggregate value Of farm
mortgages approximate SO ,657 200 900.
while the aggregate value Of farm
lands and buildings is s34 ,sOi 900 900,

TURKEY AND THE RECEIVERS.

There are interesting, if not
strange, signs of change in the at
titude of the great powers toward the
Balkan allies. We have seen no denial
of the remarkable report that Austria
served notice on Servia that she must
not send additional troops to Scutari,
since that stronghold could not in any
case be kept by Montenegro. The
British premier has said publicly that
the future of Albania and its bound
aries will be decided by the powers,
and that they have reached an agree
ment covering the essential points of
that question.
And now, to emphasize the present
intentions of the powers, the latest
peace terms of the Balkan allies,
which they submitted as result of
Turkeys, renewed overtures, are re-
jected or coolly ignored as inadmissi-
bic. The allies are reminded that as
to the, Aegean islands and Albania
they have nothing to say, Turkey hav-
ling placed herself as to these posses
sions in the hands of Europe. They
gre informed that an idemnity is to-
tally out of the question, and that they
must moderate their demands for ter
ritory around Constantinople. Final
ly, the powers quietly assume that
they have been selected as mediators
By the Balkan allies and that peace is
to be made by them on what they
may deem reasonable terms.
Two months ago it seemed impos-
sible that Russia should sanction such
an attitude and work with Austria
and Germany in spirit hostile to the
Balkan tSlavs. But Europe is tired
of the war, apprehensive of financial
troubles and impatient with the Bal
kan governments. Turkey, in making
the powers her receivers, has been
banking on this impatience; she has
been hoping for dissensions and COM
plications rather than counting on her
own military resources. Will the
powers now venture to dictate openly
to the allies, taking advantage of their
exhausted condition? Is Russia pre-
pared to apply moral coercion to those
who look to her for protection? That
the allies must submit to the concert
of Europe, if that concert is an ac-
tuality, hardly needs saying.-Record-

SAN DOMINGO'S AFFAIRS
NEXT BEFORE CABINET

WASHINGTON, D. c., March 25.-
The Taft-Knox dollar diplomacy set
tlement of Santo Domingo's affairs,
will be the next knotty problem to
I be considered by President Wilson. 1t
developed today that the present ad-
nLinistration is far from accepting as
legal legacy the policy of the last
administration in practically assum-
ing protectorate over the island.
Prea'd dent Wilson is understood to be
displeased with the assumption of con-
troll OF the BLACK republics" finances
by Americans.
1t wa pointed out today that the
recent isit of General Frank McIn-
tyre of the insular bureau and W. T.
S. Doyle, head of the Latin-American
bureau OF the state department to
Santo Don lingo resulted in the COM
plete overtt lrning of the fiscal policy
of that gov arnment. Measures were
taken whereby the customs revenues
were apportio. ned so that certain bad
debts" of Wall street financiers were
to be paid off,. The question of
whether the W 'ilson administration
will permit this condition to continue
must be decided in the near future.
1t would have been disposed of be-
fore now only that President Wilson
has been too busy to consider it, and
Secretary of State Bryan has been out
of town. Wilson's declaration on the
Chinese loan plan, however, is accept
ed as an, indication that the president
will repudiate the .Taft-Knox ruling
in this case. 1t is expected the mat
ter will be considered at next weeks
cabinet meeting.

The morning paper says the people
will be saved $115, 100000 by free su-
gar. The most any well posted Demo-
cratic free trader has ever claimed
is S50,000,000. But such is the gen.
eral Misrepresentation. Only a short
time ago The Herald took a corre-
spondent of the Pennington Times
Hustler to task for stating free su-
gar would save the people of San
Juan county in the neighborhood of
$4,000 year when it would not save
them one-fourth the sum mentioned.
The consumers of sugar are going to
receive wonderful shock when given
free sugar. They expect the price
to go down equal to the tariff re-
duction, but they will be mistaken.
The sugar trust is not working night
and day for free trade without plan
ming to absorb at least half of the
reduction. However, The Herald wants
the Democratic free trade policy to
go through. We simply warn con-
sumers in advance what they will
get.

New York city had the lowest death
rate in its history last year, and the
lessening of the rate of infant NOR
tality was striking. For every 1000
babies born there were los deaths, a
low rate for large city. The saw
ing of 5,159 infant lives in 1912 is
indicated by comparison of the sta
tistics with the prevailing rate for the
last ten years. This remarkable re-
duction is chiefly due to the estab-
lishment and maintenance of infant
milk stations throughout the city and
to home-nursing service, according to
health experts. The health depart
ment conducted fifty-five milk sta
tions at which Al ,2S3 mothers re-
ceived pure milk and were given ad-
vice as to how to keep their babies
well. OF 22,4l7 babies that received
the attention Of nurses at home only
2O7 died. The death rate Of babies
in the whole city was 1886 per cent
higher than the rate among the babies
cared for at stations and by the home
nursing service.
