Their produce includes vegetables OF

and meat.
All the farmers are within the local
first and second zones of the parcel

Corn and Pumpins on Same Acreage,

3Longmont. - The raising Of two
crops on the same ground has
proved most profitable to some of the
farmers in the Longmont section this
year.
Until two or three years ago 1t was
not believed that corn could be raised
with any success In this section, but
with the advent Of the silos for cat
tie feeding, some of the farmers ex-
perimented last year with small
acreage. with satisfactory results.
The two crops were planted on the
same ground, neither interfering with
the growth OF the other. The corn
crop proved to be equal to that raised
in the famous corn states, the growth
of the fodder being heavy and the
kernels large and solid, making a
profitable crop by itself, being worth
to the feeders from $50 to $40 per
acre.
The pumpkin crop, which at plant
ing time was regarded as secondary,
in most cases proved the most valu-
able. The contract price is SO per
ton and the yield from fifteen to
twenty-five tons to the acre, making
two of the easiest crops to tend, re-
turn about 500 per acre.
