fHE POPULARITY
OF THE HERALD

When we, send the Herald tc
our OUTSIDE advertisers We co, so
pres uming that their only inter-
est in it would be to see that
their ads are running regularly.
on the contrary, however, we
find that our outside advertisers
are interested in the Herald, and
read it with the same avidity and
appreciation, as do our home
readers.
As instances, Judge Doughty

j. H. Shilling, the insurance
man-"my wife reads the Her.
aid just as If she knew people
down there.

here said, cit takes me longer to
read the Herald than the Denver

c. P. Adams, ille pig turni..
ture man, said when he was
here a short time ago, Il take
the Herald home with me be-
cause my wife likes to read it:'
And numbers Of others could in
like manner be7quoted.
Do you know why the Herald
is such a popular advertising
medium?
Because people like to
read it. When a business man
finds a paper that is interesting
to him, he knows lust where lie
wants to place his ADVERTISING,
and he places it there.
Hence looa at the adyertis-
ing department Of the Herald

as the one representative county
paper, it carrying more advertis-

Dry Farming

Dear Editor
Much has been written on
the subject of dry-farming, and
while l am not competent to
write much on that subject on
account ot my ac9uaintanee along
that ling being 40 far in the ex7
perimental stage, still l feel a
few words will not come amiss,
AS government crop reporter
for this district, l have chance
to form an idea on the above
subject.
When 1 mentioned to friend
not long ago that / intended to
break out sixty ecres mere land
ist q, farming he remarked, why,
you have all the land you c:.n
take care of now.''
In my opinion a man GAN farm
l40 as easy as ~ in this country.
l think while there are some
men trying to farm too much
there are nine out of every ten
farming sixty or even eighty
less than they really could han
die.
Of course one to farm from
lao to 200 acres must make a
study Of the crop and all condi-
tions existing in his locality.
Yours sincerely
Otto H. Rowland.
I'VE believe in extensive farm
ing as against intensive in the
dry west; but of course a man
must be equipped for what he un-
dertakes. To cultivate 14O to
16O acres, "A man should have
horse power for a two-row lister,
but can do it with one-row if
he can biz the pace Of tep acres

tools to follow it up in cultiva-
