the Same time we shall be picking

fifteen million bales and shall have
yet to harvest an apple crop Of 200
million bushels. In addition to all
this we shall be curing tobacco

than $780, 100000. Our whole farm

POTATO BUYERS INSIST
ON STANDARD GRADING

This fall, potato buyers, whether
buying for the government or the
general trade, will insist on standard
grading from the grower, states DIR.
K. P. Sandsten, of the Colorado Agri-
cultural College. This will necessi-
tate more careful work, not only in
harvesting, but in the grading of
the potatoes" DR.. Sandsten says.
inspection of shipments will be made
at the loading station. Inspectors will
be provided for Jointly by the Colo
rado State Potato Growers Associa-
ton. the U. s. State Food Admins
tration. the Bureau of Markets, and
the Colorado Potato Shippers Associ-
alton. The grades given by the in
spector will be final and binding on
both seller and buyer. This will
eliminate disputes between the seller
equal footing.
"The effect OF this arrangement
upon the potato-growing industry will
be, on the whole, beneficial. 1t will
put premium on quality, and the
good grower will obtain a higher
price for his product, while the in
different grower who produces poor
potatoes will either have to reform
in his practice or quit the business.
"The past method of selling and
marketing potatoes has been extreme
ly wasteful. Fifteen percent of all
potatoes marketed have been thrown
away after reaching their destina-
ton, either at a commission house or
at the point of consumption. This
waste alone for the United States
amounted to about 60,00O,000 bush
els. This amount should have been
left on the farm and fed to livestock.
The loss. in transportation charges.
carriage, and containers, amounted to
several million dollars. which in the
end came out of the producers pock-
cts. 1t is hoped that the new ar
rangement will, to a large extent,
eliminate this tremendous waste"

The circus program, which follows

Sigror Bagonghi. the drawf bareback
rider, described as the equestrian
comic of the century, will thrill and
convulse with laughter: Pallenberg' s
wonderful bears will ride on high

than ever before, and in the mem

mems of wild and untamcd animals.
There are a dozen of new baby ami

There will be more than one hun

them would occupy too much space.
The parade. which is entirely new,
will start at as nearly 10 O'Clock in
the morning as possible. 1t will be
three miles in length and there will
be six bands, three caliopes and a
steam piano to create music for the
marching throng. Adv.

Barnum and Bailey Coming

There is to be a real circus day
this yea--a Barnum & Bailey circus
day. Advance guards of the Greatest
Show on Earth announce that this
seasons route carries it close enough
to be visited by everybody in this
vicinity. Thirty acres of tents will
be set, and the big show will be ex-
hibited in Pueblo on August 13.
A wonderful new program is prom
ised, and 1t is claimed that this sea-
son the monster entertainment has
more and better things to show than
ever before. Starting w;th a mag
niticent pageant entitled. Aladdin
and His Wonderful Lamp" the circus
will occupy three hours or more with
events in air, on platform, and rings,
and in the huge hippodrome sur
rounding. Not one moment will be
lest in all of the spaces CT the vast
enclosure.
The opening feature is the first at
tempt at Chinese pageantry in the
history of American circuses, and 1t
has been described as the most gorge
Gus presentation ever attempted. The
