To Plant Late Grain.

Now that moisture has come to
many sections of the dry land the
farmers are turning their attention
TO land which had been planted to
oats and other crops which have
been burned out by the excessive
heat. Many will plant millet, ex-
pecting to get crop Of hay. while
some few are OF the opinion that
millet planted Immediately will ma
ture. Others will give their atten-
ton to drilling in cane, first discing
the ground.
Those who have good stands of
corn will be kept busy preventing
the weeds from getting a start.
Farmers who have the good stands
of corn have during the dry spell
kept the corn fields well cultivated,
the ground being in fine mulch,
and this ground will retain the pres
ent moisture in good shape.
One farmer north will put in oats
this week.

POLITICAL PROGRAMS.


The political program for the next
few weeks will be a busy one. 1t
has started in already by the meet
ings of the county central commit
tees of the two parties, then will
come the precinct caucuses for the
selection of delegates to the county
assemblies to be held soon. Then
will come the representative assem-
blies and the senatorial assemblies
probably at Rocky Ford for Crow
ley-Otero district, the judicial assem-
blies at Pueblo, the congressional
assemblies somewhere in this big
Third district and the state assem-
blies in Denver for each of the Re-
publican and Democratic parties.
If man chanced to be member
of the county central committee of
his party and was selected as dele

move. 1t would be as good an ex-

Rains
Aid All Crops

/ Rains in various portions of Crow
lev county and southern part of Lin
coin county during the past week
have brought about u very changed
condition of affairs. 1t has made it
possible for an abundance of nutri-
tious foods to be raised where II week
ago it looked rs il there would be
little if any food raised on the dry
farms to the north, northwest and
northeast. Some sections have not
been blessed with rain yet, but others
have had excellent raiI>falls, suffi-
cicnt in most cases to assure fair
crops of folders and hay.
| Corn in most of the dry land sec
tions had held up well and while
the weather had been dry for weeks
there was moisture in the ground
which had been properly plowed and
best yield much except fodder, but
that means a lot. The rains will
carry it thru for several days, and
perhaps by the time it needs another
will come. These rains of the week
indicate that the drouth is broken,
and it is certainly to be hoped so.
Even in the irrigated, section a
rain was wanted and had most
glorious welcome by everyone, but in
the dry land sections it was SO need
ed that it came almost as Divine
gift, and is appreciated to its fullest
extent.
Farmers in the unirrigated dis
tricts had hoped to get rain suffi-
cient to raise feed of some kind for
their stock, and those who have cows
to milk will, with the rains which
have blessed some, pull thru nicely
even tho some grain will have to be
bought.

Do You Want

Does Crowley county, as county,
want to take over the county fair?
If you, as II taxpayer, want to do that
YOU should let your county commits
sioner know. If you are opposed to
ii it would be well also to express
YOUR views. Remember, If the fair
is purchased it will be bought with
your money. Do you want it?
Perhaps the county commissioners
will not take it over under any con-
sideration, but then things point to-
ward the idea of purchase. Without
a doubt the commissioners mean to
do the right thing and what they
might term the wise thing to DO
would be termed cXtravagant or folly
by Won. These commissioners Will
listen to you. Perhaps they want
your views.
A county fair might be conducted
on a much larger scale II the county
took it over. 1t might be made
better fair than under the direction
of an association. 1t might be the
wise thing to do, to buy 1t, but do
you think so?
There is more than one thing TO
be considered in the purchase OF this
property. The association has Oh
fered it for $1,000. The board OF
appraisers have appraised the prop
erty at $4,000. No doubt 1T mas
physical valuation of that amount
and would be worth that amount as
a fair property, but the purchase does
not end 1t. 1t must be maintained.
"oh, well, it will pay its way
someone may remark.
Will it?
If It has failed to pay its way SO
far-some years it has done that-
would 1t, or could 1t, be made to pay
under county direction? 1t wouid
seem that it would be less liable 10

EVERYBODY SEES A
CHANGE IN FATHER
FARMER SUFFERED FOR OVER
TWENTY YEARS AND PAID OUT
THOUSANDS.

My father has suffered from
chronic stomach trouble for ever %
years and has paid out thousands OF
dollars on medicines and doctors. >
said G. w. Slayton, a well-known
Cobb county farmer, who lives near
Smyrna, a short distance out of At
lanta
I'VE tried nearly everything try
ing to cure him, and he went off to
the springs, thinking maybe the wat
er would help him, but it just look
ed like nothing would reach his
trouble. Then he tried dieting, an
lived on liquid food until he almost
starved-but even that failed to do
any good, and he just kept going
from bad to worse.
Il don't guess there ever was a
case as stubborn as his, and if there
ever was a confirmed dyspeptic he
was one of them, and guess he
would have been one yet if it hadn't
been for this Tanlac.
THE first we heard of this medi-
cine was when my father saw an adj
Vertisement in the papers from pay-
ties he knew in Tenn, who were
friends of his, and he knew what
they said about it was the truth-sa
he got it right away and began TAX
ing it,
We'll, sir, it acted just Ike magic
and everybody notices the change
in father nOw-why he is Just like
different man, and sits down TO
the table and eats like farm hand.
Only yesterday he ate pork and tur-
nips for his dinner, and ate SO much
we were actually afraid he was ov,
doing the thing, but he laughed and
said nothing hurt him now, and that
he was hungry and expected to eat
and make up for lost time.
Now, when a medicine will do
things like that, think people ought
to know about it, and want to say
right now that would not give one
bottle OF Tanlac for all the other
medicines and health resorts in the
country put together"
