Banks to Cooperate
in Planting Crops

The First National Bank of Ar
vada has received a communica-
ton from J. c. Huston, cashier
of the First National Bank of
Denver, calling attention to Gov
ernor Gunter's proclamation urg-
ing the bankers to cooperate with
the farmers in getting q much
greater acreage of food stutfs
planted this year in Colorado.
Governor Gunter realizes that
the food supply is going to be
short this year at best and even
tho the war would end this
month the conditions would be
most serious to this nation as
we'll as all over the world. 1t
should be remembered that half
of Europe is going on half "a lions
now and if the war would cease
they would then realize that they
are hungry and set about to get
it. Instead of being content
with half rations they would de-
mand a normal supply which
would make great drain on this
country. SO it behooves us that
every foot of land be planted to
food supplies of some kind and
in this way the farmer who has
the land and the banker who has
the money can meet each other
half way and fulfil a patriotic
duty and a most necessary work
for the preservation of the
country's resources.
The First National Bank author.
ICES us to state that it will be
glad to see all farmers who wish
to enter into a mutual arrange
ment to the end heretofore men
toned.

Another Patriotic
Meeting in Arvada

There will be another patriotic
meeting in Arvada next Monday
evening at 8 o'clock at the High
school building. Many who were
unable to ne present last time on
account of the storm and other
matters are anxious to have a.
mother meeting.
Conditions are shaping them
selves so that such a meeting is
absolutely necessary.
It's time the people of this com
munity were awake to their own
interest and the interests of their
country.
A crisis is near at hand which
is going to involve us all. We
cannot envade it, but must meet
it with fortitude and wisdom.
Unless we get together and form
some plan of meeting it we will
be remiss in our duty to our loved
ones who are looking to US for
protection and will be remiss in
in our duty to our government.
Lieut.. Carl f. Smith, recruiting
officer for the U. S. Cavalry will
be present to give some inforna-
ton on that department of the
service. Only young men q
years of age or more are eligible
to enlistment in the Cavalry SER
vice.
Lieut.. Smith states that it is
expected that within ten days a
proclamation of Consumption is
likely to be made. How much
more honorable it would be to en-
list before that time comes.
There will be other speakers at
this meeting who will be able to
enlighten the audience upon
many points they do not now un-
dsrstand.

Opening and Grading
Avalon Begins This Week

Work begins this week grad
ing Avalon Avenue and opening
it up for public travel. The c. &
S. railroad company very kindly
consented to allow 16 feet of its
right away to be leased to the
town so as toprotect the company
legally. There is scarcely a pro-
liability that the company will
ever need that part Of the right
of way, as the Wadsworth
main ditch separates it from the
tracks. The intention was to use
the north side of the right of way
from the purchased 80 feet to
the line of Avalon Avenue and
then cross the tracks, but the
company objected because they
do not know how soon they
might want ouse it for trackage
purposes. The new course will
make a much easier grade and no
doubt is practically permanent.
The town and railroad maps
show that 20 feet parallel with
the right of way was intended
for road purposes, but the deeds
filed in Golden do not show
that this tract was ever dedlca
ted all the way thru to Avalon,
but only the east end. Considera-
BILE grading will be necessary and
some bitches will have to he
changed over from the center to
the side of the road. However,
this is a much needed improve
ment as it will make it possible to
open up considerable property
that can be sold off in small
tracts for homes and it makes it
both convenient to town and &c
the schools for the people living
in that section.

The new crop of our county has had
a splendid start. Plenty of moisture,
warm, sunny days and warm nights
lust what tobacco needs. Cut worms
are bad but no worse than usual, and
so far there has been little occasion for
replanting. It is generally conceded
that the acreage cannot be under 70, 900
acres, though opinions vary greatly as
to the number above that figure. But
those who contend for an estimate of
25,0 900 acres are conceded to have a
strong argument in their favor because
Of the known figures of the heavy pur-
chases of number of the county big
cigar firms. With one concern taking
20, 900 cases and dozen big firms buy
ing heavily, it is easy to understand
why the acreage must be large, Tor
three cases to the acre must be consld-
cred in making all estimates. 1t would
seem that the time is here for the Lam
caster County Tobacco Growers Asso-
citation or the Lancaster Leaf Tobacco
Board of Trade to take the steps neces-
sary for ascertaining just what the
acreage is. 1t would be easy to do.
The cigar trade here continues good
Retailers have steady trade, and the

deed, some of the factories are behind

And the manufacturers say they are

profits without the war tax that is
coming. All recognize the fact that
the prices must soon go up. In York
county the cheaper grades have already
gone up so cents thousand.

WISCONSIN TOBACCO MARKET.

EDGERTON, w Is, July 1o, lSll
The new tobacco crop has had the
benefit of a week of exceptional grow
ing weather that is rapidly putting it
to the front. No crop in recent years
has made SO fine getaway or more
promising at this date. The early set
fields have commenced to take on a
spread that presages harvest not but
few weeks away. There is a uni
formness about the fields where culti-
walton has been properly attended to
especially noticeable. Buyers have
commenced to send their men into the
growing districts to watch the progress
of the crop and make note of the most
promising fields Their reports are
that the crop seldom, if ever, looked
better at this date, and if the present
fast growing conditions continue an
early harvest is predicted
Another almost forgotten crop of old
leaf has been marketed this week. be-
ing 14cs of 1906 leaf grown by Samuel
Larson, sold to Weddles Bros. of Chi
cago. How much the grower has made
by holding his tobacco ten years is a
problem.

NEW YORK, July z, 1917.

The leaf market, after it's many SEN
sational experiences during the past
few months, has settled down again to
it's routine life tempered by recreations
of the summer vacation. Most of the
leaf men have hied themselves to the
seashore or mountains where, in siren
uous exercises of golfng and fishing
and other sports they seek to regain
renewed vigor for prospective brisk
fall campaign. The leaf trade certain
lv deserves its recreative vacation after
the exceedingly busy months they have
passed through which luckily left them
sufficient margin for enjoying their
leisure in ease and comfort. -Jo Journal.

NEW YORK, July 8, 1917.

The new crop, the planting of which
has just been finished, is generally re-
ported as starting to grow well, though
it was three weeks late being planted.
At this stage of the game speculation
as to what the new crop is liable to
amount to is useless. Nothing has oc--
Cured thus far, however, that would
make good and fairly abundant crop
an impossibility. Very little activity is
reported in old tobaccos, chiefly because
of the scarcity and high price. Leaf.
