The productiveness of land has
much to do with its valuation, but
when you compare this yield and
profit with the amounts received
for the corn crop raised on farms
in such states as Iowa, Illinois and
Indiana, the incomes received are
entirely reversed as compared with
the prices of land. The Iowa, Hi
nois or Indiana farmer who will
raise fifty bushels of corn per acre
and receive sixty cents bushel for
the crop, will price his land at
from $3.50 to $3.50 an acre. This
gives the corn farmer a gross reve-
nue. of $50 an acre as compared
with 500 net receipts per acre for
the Monte Vista potato crop, where
the best land can be purchased at
from 500 to 1925 an acre.

OF CLARK

The death of Clark Van Nos

Nostrand, occurred early Tuesday
morning at the home of his son,
whom he had been visiting for the
past three months, at the good old
age of nearly 81 years.
Short funeral services were con-
Quoted at the house by Rev. Ora
hood and the body, accompanied
by Mr. and Mrs. Van Nostrand,
was taken to Fairfield, Iowa, for
burial Wednesday night. Another
son survives, who was at the time
of the death in Canada and could
not be present at the bedside Of
his father. Mr.. and Mrs. A. b.
Van Nostrand will remain for
short visit after the funeral, which
will probably take place Saturday.
Mrs. VIM. Reed and ten chill

for some time, but were induced to
depart again Thursday night. Mrs.
Reed recently wrote a letter to
Marshal Abernathy stating that
she was going to return here and
the marshal tried to dissuade her
from her purpose, but she came
anyway eleven strong. Upon her
arrival she demanded the furniture

than 100000 sacks have been sold
to the farmers of this locality to be
used in the harvest of the potato
crop. That up to the present time
$50 cars of potatoes have been
shipped from the district, in addi

potatoes stored in cellars. And
this enormous yield can be better
comprehended when you realize
that if the 100000 sacks of pota

Does it pay to grind corn for fat

souri, Experiment station has been
investigating this question for the
last two years While this investi-
cation is not yet completed. results
obtained up to the present time in
dicate that more rapid gains in live
weight and a quicker finish may be
expected by the use Of ground grain.
Cattle also feed more uniformly on
ground than on whole corn. There
is no doubt but that two-year-old
steers will much more completely
digest ground grain and the finer it
is the more completely it will be
digested
The work at the Missouri College
of Agriculture shows clearly that
Wneh ground corn is fed fewer hogs
are needed to follow the steers. The
figures obtained indicate that from
IL to p Per cent Of the value of the
ear corn fed to steers should be
charged to the hogs, while with fine
ly ground corn chop it will not be
more than 3 to 4 per cent The evi-
dence concerning the total gain in

sive Ii is not likely that there will
be much difference between feeding
ground or whole grain if the hogs
are properly cared for and il the
feeding is done in lots which are

There are some things about the Col
orado troubles which are not clear, but
there is one thing that is, and that is
that the industry of the state will be
retarded. Neither steady, good men
will want to work there nor will those
who have money feel like putting it
into Il shape where it may be seen and
destroyed, burned or dynamitcd. We
shall in time be in the United States
where they arrived in France ten years
ago. In that country there is such
universal fear that people do not dare
show the possession of fine property,
even of homes. There has been a
marked tendency of the people to con
vert their real property into intangible
property 50 they can take it and nc,
