FEAST ON BAKED TUDERS
FIVE THOUSAND AT cAReoNpALE
POTATO FESTIVAL.
yieids Of Western slope FIeIds THE
Year Give Farmers Renewed
Hope Of Prosperity.


wsstsrn Newspaper Union News Services
Glenwood Springs. Colo.--with four
teen quarters of beef. 5000 baked po-
tatoes. scores of loaves OF bread and
gallons of coffee and other good
things to tempt the appetite. Carbon.
dale celebrated her fourth annual po-
tato festival and was hostess to hun
dreds of Western Slope people who
entered the festivities with a gusto
which comes as result cf the bumper
crops harvested throughout this sec
tion of the slope.
Never In the history OF Carbondals
have such crops of potatoes been gath
cred in the Roaring Fork valley. An
idea OF the yield is found in the fol-
lowing:
Charles Nov harvested 362 sacks OF
115 pounds each from measured acre.
He got 800 sacks an acre from fifteen
acres.
George Sievers loaded eight carloads
of potatoes from seven acres of his
ranch.
Max Grubb, son OF Gene Grubb. the
potato expert. will harvest 100 cars
OF fine tubers. Lou and Frank Sweet
will do equally as well from their
fields.
Indications now are that the entire
$500 acres of potatoes In the Carbon
dale district will average better than
300 bushels to the acre this year.
The country surrounding Carbondale
is a beehive of activity and potato
diggers and pickers are being pushed
to the limit to get the big crop in
cellars. Twelve pickers on the Grubb
ranch in one day picked 143ls sacks
each. This is the record for the dis
trfct. and is believed to beat any rec
ord in the state. The men are receiv.
ing cents n sack and board for their
work. Fourteen pickers on the Sweet
ranch pick 1900 sacks a day.
The potato raisers are putting their
tubers in cellars which hold from
thirty to fifty carloads. They have
shipped several hundred carloads from
the district, but are now holding for
a higher price than is offered.
But their potato crop is not the only
source of profit, for forty-five cars OF
cattle were loaded at Redstone. south
OF Carbondale. and ground has already
been secured for the location of a
marble-finishing mill which will EN-
ploy from 100 to 200 men throughout
the year. And Carbondale folks made
merry with feasting. dancing and
street sports. while Rifle and Marble
bands enlivened the affair with con
certs.

KNAPP MEMORIAL FARM.

N-N'hi 'SNioiNiEh sNiN.h
superintendent of Education j.. E.
S~wearingen, in a letter to the county
superintendent, teachers and trus-
tees, reco mends the observance of
agricultural day" in the schools of
the state. He recommends December
9TH as n convenient date and suggests
that the exercises embody a suitable
memorial tribute to DR.. Seaman A.
Knapp, the great friend Of the south,
and hat a collection be taken for the
Seaman A. Knapp Farm School to be
located near Nashville, Tenn.
Possibly it might not be generally
known, but growing out of a feeling
all over the south shortly after the
death o. DR.. Knapp that some suit
able memorial should be erected to
his memory, Il committee was formed
for the purpose OF carrying out the
suggestions made from different south
crn people. 1t was felt that some
things in education and agriculture
hat DR., Knapp stood for would be
more appropriate than n memorial of
stone or marble. The committee
unanimously agreeing upon this, it
was decided to establish and provide
for the maintenance of n Seaman A.
Knapp Farm School at Nashville,
Tenn, and it is for this school that
the collection suggested by Mr..
Swearingen is to be taken. In view
of the great work done by DIR. Knapp
or the south and the immense good
that has resulted from his labors, it
seems peculiarly fitting that this
memorial should be erected and that
1T should be done by the school chill
dren and the great mass of people
whom h" benefited rather than by a
lew wealthy men. 1t should indeed
be considered a privilege to be one
OF the vast number of people who will
contribute to this cause. We trust
that the schools of Laurens county
Will prepare to observe this day and
show by deeds that the name of this
great man is still honored and that
his work is still appreciated.
