and which is devoted to agricultural,
industrial and mining conditions in
Colorado and Wyoming, contains the
following article by r. G. Brecken-
ridge of Monte Vista:
The crops in this community have
all matured in splendid condition.
Wheat, oats and barley all in the
shock and put up without any rain.
This section of the country was par
ticularly favored with good weather
during the harvest season. We had
plenty OF moisture during the grow
ing season which kept our crops well
advanced. Our harvest season has
been dry. The crops matured nicely
is yielding 80 to 40 bushels per acre
and oats so to 60 bushels per acre.
The potatoes are turning out from
100 to $50 sacks per acre. The pea
crop is as good as has ever been
grown in this Valley. There is an
abundance of feed to fatten two or
three hundred thousand lambs. The
farmers are little cautious about
buying lambs at the present prices
However, if this crop is not fed to
sheep it will be fed to hogs. The in
crease in hogs will perhaps take up
most of the extra feed. Our farmers
have almost unanimously gone into
the hog business, and since the chol-
era condition has been cleaned up
every ranchman is stocked with a lot
of feed hogs. On the whole the coun-
try was never more prosperous than
1t is today. The best indications of
stable values on land is the fact that
our farmers who have been renters
are buying land and a number of our
farmers who have large acreages are
buying more. There are not many
new corners coming in, but land val
ues are on better basis than they
have been for many years There is
no doubt but what there will be an
advance in prices as soon an general
prosperity strikes us again.

Ihe question of drainage of tho

What would be thought of the

first thing to do is to produce the crop

Peculiar to Agriculture.
There are several features peculiar
to agriculture that do not apply to
any other great industry. One OF
them is that the average farmer is

The average buys from day

as possible, and when they have Sc.

The annual loss to the farmer is,
on a conservative estimate, 25 cents
per bushel on wheat and other GER

That might be saved to the farmer

The farmer out of debt, or the land
lord who rents his farm. who thinks
that he has no interest in Rura

industry. The demand for a remedy
is not of recent origin.
1t was recognized by the knights
of Labor and organized farmers many
years ago. AS president of the Dako-
ia Farmers Alliance | called atten-
ton to this business disturbing factor
as early as 1887. AS president of The
National Farmers Alliance and In
dustrial Union l tried to make it our
paramount issue in 1923.
An Elastic Currency.
In the New Monetary System pre-
pared by me as our official textbook,
on page 73, l quoted from an address
by Secretary of the Treasury Win
dom before the New York Board of
Trade January list. 1891. He was
advocating an elastic volume of cur
Tency that would automatically re-
lspond to the demands of trade and
said; Gould such a circulating me-
dunn be secured, the gravest CONNER
cial disasters which threaten u flu
ture might be avoided. These dis
asters have always come when unus-
ual activity in business has caused
an abnormal demand for money, as
in autumn, for the moving Of our i'm
mense crops. There will always be
great danger at those times under any
cast iron system of currency such
as we now have. Had it not been for
the peculiar condition which enabled
the United States to disburse over

WINGED that the stringency in August
and September would have resulted
in a widespread financial ruin"
Supply and Demand.
! wish to emphasize the fact that
we may have a contraction of the
currency, either by increasing the
demand, Or decreasing the supply.
For Instance: the price of wheat,
being n dollar per bushel, advances
to $1,50; it would require so per cent
more money to handle it,
Exactly the Same effect would be
produced If the yield should be i'll.
creased so per cent, the price remain,
ing the same. The law of supply and
demand applies to money the same as
to any other commodity. Secretary
Window understood this law. He
said:
These disasters will always come
| when unusual activity in business
caused an abnormal demand for
money, as in autumn, for the moving
of our immense crops. When the
nation should be most prosperous
because of the vast increase of wealth
produced by labor, disaster is threat
