,MUCH WHEAT AND
 HAY BEING SHIPPED
Value of These Crops in This Community for The Season Estimated at $50,O00

The wheat and hay crop in this section continue to sur prise everybody with the big yields that are being made.
 Eighteen cars of wheat have been hipped from Newark this season and the nineteenth ear is being loaded today. It Is thought that 12 or 15 more cars of wheat will be shipped from here and with 10000 bushels yet to be shipped, from here before the close of the season, as the majority of the crop in the lower part of the bottom and the Point nei- ghborhood is yet to be thresh- ed. Fully 15,000 bushels of wheat have shipped from here and with 10000 buhels yet to be shipped, menas that more than $25, ,000 worth of wheat has been pro- dueed in this community this season. In addition to this, many farmers have stored enough wheat to furnish them with flour for a year.
 The market continues to hold up we'll and the Newark Canning Company, the only local buyers, are paying the farmers $1 bushel for wheat loaded on the cars in Newark.
 The hay crop is unusually large and although the crop ig just fairly beginning to move, more than 40 cars have been shipped by J. w. Sisk, the To- cal hay dealer.
 The demand for hay is not as strong as the demand for wheat, and MT. Sisk says he could easily have bought and shipped 100 cars of hay if he could find a market for it.
 It is estimated that this sea- sons wheat and hay crop in this community will bring the famers at least $50,O00.

Some Democratic Objections

The indications are that the reduced
democratic majority in congress is not
to have altogether plain sailing with
its new tax proposal. Two members
of that party, including Congressman
Heating of Colorado, quit the caucus
last night on the ground that they
could not vote to retain the so-called
war tax which has been in operation
for the past year because they had
promised their constituents that they
would vote to have it abolished.
Now the democracy proposes not
only to retain the present war tax,
but to add to it in a variety Of ways.
This will certainly place number of
democrats in a predicament, because
they went up and down the country
last year telling the people that this
was merely temporary expedient due
to the exigencies caused by the war.
But now, after blazoning over the
country the fact that we were never
so prosperous, that all our manufac-
turers are doing a tremendous busl-
ness and that the people everywhere
are employed, they turn about and
confess that they are wholly unable
to make ends meet and to pay the
running expenses of the government
without placing upon the people a lot
more harassing, petty and annoying
taxes.
With remarkable degree of i'm
becility, they seem to be willing to
go before the people with a lot Of
taxes of this SORT rather than adopt
the simple expedIent of a protective
tariff which has raised all necessary
money for running the government for
the last forty years. 1t is no wonder
that members of the democratic party
are becoming fearful not only as to
the soundness Of their economic theor-
les but also as to the manner in which
they will be received by the country
at large. 1t is only a vigorous appll-
cation of the party whip that can ever
force these measures through the
present congress.-Colorado Springs

BOILING IN CREOSOTE PRE-
SERVES FENCE POSTS
Heating Process Insures Better Pene-
tration of Fluid Than Painting
or Dipping

THE fence post problem is becom-
ing important" says Prof. W. ]. Nor
rill, of the Colorado Agricultural
College. "Good material is very ex-
pensive. Pitch posts, once purchased
for as little as ten cents each, now
bring 35 or 40 cents-but they last a
generation.
Idaho cedar posts cost around 10
cents, but they last only four or five
years. The increasing cost of wood
posts has brought the iron post and
the cement post on the market. There
are serious objections to both of them
because of cost, weight, difficulty of
attaching wire, and the crumbling of
cement in alkaline soils.
"The railroads have been preserving
ties for many years, the telephone
companies have reduced their annual
cost per hole by treating the butts
of their poles, and at last the farm
ers are beginning to preserve their
fence posts. Coal tar creosote of a
grade that is not heavy, and is pene-
trating, is used largely. While the
railroads preserve their ties by fore
ing creosote oil into them by hydrau-
lie pressure in closed tanks, the farm
er has to content himself by using
atmospheric pressure in open tanks.
This is done by heating the butts of
the posts in boiling creosote for from
one-half to three or four hours, ae-
cording to the species of wood, and
then letting the posts cool in the liq-
uid.
1.-The heat forces a part of the air
out of the wood, but as the post cools,
the air that is left in the wood con-
tracts and partial vacuum thus
formed forces the creosote into the
wood for a quarter or half an inch
or more; at any rate, further than
the penetration gained by merely
painting or dipping.
These last methods, however, are
worth while, if the farmer is not
prepared to use the "open tank" meth
cd. A farmer can save half his post
expenses by using preserved posts.
Often he can do better than this by
utilizing cottonwood, willow, soft
maple, and other wood he can grow
on his farm, and make last for Is or
20 years by creosoting them"
