year he has barely made his living in
addition to paying rent.
This same renter could come to
Sedgwick county and buy as good or
better productive land at $1,000 per
acre up and on easy terms. The
eastern farmer who is getting rem
tai of $1,000 per acre for his $500. GO
per acre land is getting 5 per cent
interest on his invested capital, while
the man whose land cost him $4,000
per acre is receiving nearly 90 per
cent on his investment in Sedgwick
county.
The remark was made in our hear
ing recently that it was the real estate
agents who were causing the land in
Sedgwick county to advance so rapidly
in price, but we happen to know that
in many instances that the land which
is absolutely NOT FOR SALE is
owned by our local people who have
been here long time, who have made
what they have right here in Sedgwick
county and who know that it will on
ly be a short tire until our lands will
be selling on par with other lands
that do not produce nearly as much
We also happen to know that some of
the highest prices paid for land in
Sedgwick county during the past two
years was paid by farmers who have
lived here for number of years. To
other local residents who realized, in
a measure at least, what our lands are
really worth.
In concluding this article we want
to say to our non-residents readers
that cordial invitation is extended
to them to come and see for them

the commodious farm house and out
buildings. The wagon or at the
best, the buggy, has been subplanted
by the garage and automobile and no
more does our farmer wait q week
for his news, he takes down his tele-
phone and talks with his neighbor or
trading point We find that instead
Of the majority being borrowers, that
they are carrying bank books and if
they still have unpaid mortgages or
notes that their Indebtedness is for ad-
ditional land or for high grade cattle
and horses.
The advanced price of land in Sedg-
wick county is another example of our
prosperity. 1t has not been so very
long ago that We knew of land which
could have been purchased for $500
per acre, but now this same land is
selling from $4,000 to $4,000 per
acre, and not to the speculator but to
the renters Of eastern Nebraska Ia,
and other states, who are coming
here to make this county their home
and who tell US, that where formerly
they were making living they are
now acumulating competency and we
could easily cite you where one or two
crops has paid the initial cost of the
farm.
For one to realize fully the pros
porous conditions which exist here all
they need to do is to visit our towns.
Tho prosperity of county is always
evidenced by the volume of business
being transacted by the merchants and
business men. When you find mer-
chants busy from early morning un-
til late at night, where every farmer
when he leaves town has a full quota
of merchandise with him and when

these same farmers and their families
have every evidence of prosperity
about them both in dress and general
appearance, it tells US the story of
prosperity in most impressive man.
ner.
Is Sedgwick county prosperous :?
Ask the real estate men, who every
day are having men come to them
from the east looking for and buy
ing land at from $4,000 to $50 90 per
acre for table land and from $4,000
to 100000 per acre for irrigated land
that few years ago was unstable.
Ask the banks who point with pride
to their ever increasing deposits
Ask the merchant of our towns who
are very glad that they are COM
PEELED to carry larger stocks and more
valuable goods to take care of their
increasing trade. Ask the lumber
dealers who are selling more lumber
and building material in one month
than they formerly did in six. Ask
the railroads who will tell you that
both incoming and outgoing freight
shipments are greater than ever be-
fore and that the passenger business
is greater than it was ever known in
the past Ask the sugar company
who will tell you that the tonnage and
the sugar content of bcets is exceeding
all past records. Ask the farmer who
will tell you that in place of the mort
gage, he now has bank account and
who few years ago was looking for
a chance to sell his farm, but now has
placed the price on his land so high
that he doesn't expect any one to buy
it and yet is worried FOR fear he has

considerable amount of corn culti-
waited for silage. This Is proving to
be one of the most satisfactory ensil-
age crops grown in the state and in
dications are that the acreage of corn
grown for all purposes in Colorado
may soon equal that of wheat.
There was a considerable decrease
in the acreage devoted to sugar beetA
chiefly because the governments re-
commendation of a price of $40 . ton,
for beets was not made till con
siderable amount Of beet land had
been planted to other crops. The
price paid for beets was the highest
on record, however, SO that the total
value Of the crop to farmers was
somewhat greater than that of the
1917 crop.
The acreage Of oats harvested last
year was substantially the same -
that for 1917, but the yield was about
2OO, 900 bushels less. Oats is the ons
grain crop that has shown q decrease
in acreage in the past five years. the
acreage cultivated in 1918 being fully
80 900 acres less than that for 1913.
Barley, on the other hand, has shown
very substantial increase. The bu-
reau of crop estimates reports 100000
acres in 1918. The total yield was
5,632 900 bushels, worth $5,S57 900.
The fruit crop WAS considerably
short of that for 1917, which was not
banner crop by any means. Both
apples and peaches were far below .
normal crop, while smaller fruite
made a somewhat better showing but
hardly kept up to the average. The
1918 fruit crop brought growers only
little more than 65 per cent -
much as that of 1917.
The acreage devoted to pinto beans
was not much different from the 1917
acreage. The experience Of growers
with the 1917 crop was not wholly sat
isfactory, either with the yield or ths
market. If condition had been more
! favorable for the big crop Of 1917 1t
is more than possible that the acSeage
would have been greatly increased
last year, with the result that the may
ket would have been heavily over
stocked and prices would have bse1

at present. The pinto bean has
proved its value in this climate ~

not placed it high enough.
When one makes q trip of inspec-
tion over Sedgwick county and notes
the many improvements such a. new
buildings, new fences, and etc. going
up on every hand. When We realize
that between now and another harvest
there will be niany new settlers in our
county, families who are coming here
to be producers-then We know that
prosperity is really here.
The granary, the elevator and the
freight records show US that Sedg-
wick county farms are producing
wheat, both the spring and fall vari-
ETY., as hard and as perfect wheat as
ever was grown during the wonder
full wheat days Of Minnesota and the
Dakotas. Oats, that for weight and
feeding qualities, are not to be equal
ed enywhere. Rye, spelts and other
grains are Of the best quality. Dur
ing the harvest season it is not an un-
common sight to see the automobile
trucks running long hours loaded
with so and rs bushels of wheat and
other grains taking these products
to the towns in the county for market
We are not attempting a long
string of statistics, in this paper, for
an accumulation of these are dull at
the best, but we have in mind one in
stance where a landlord living in
eastern Nebraska received a check for
over $17OO 90 as his one third share of
the crop produced on quarter section
of land in Sedgwick county. Such
figures at first glance, may not mean
much to some of our eastern landlords,
who are holding their renters up for
$500 and more per acre cash rent for
their high priced land, but it ought
to mean much to that same renter
when he finds that at the end of the

valuable crop, as it has been for a
good many years. About l.l3l 900
acres of land is devoted to the pro-
duction Of some kind of hay, includ-
ing alfalfa, timothy, alsike and var
ious native grasses. This is more
than one-third the total cultivated
acreage of the state. This value of
the hay crop, at prevailing prices, is
approximately s42,74O,OOO, or about
two-sevenths of the value of all crops.
Wheat ranks next to hay in acreage
and in value. The acreage devoted to
this crop has increased more rapidly
in the past five years than that de-
voted to any other standard crop. In
1913 the bureau of crop estimates Of
the department of agriculture placed
the area of wheat harvested in Colo
The Julesburg grit-advocate., 1919-02-20

sated in previous years, a very large
,ercentage of which was irrigated. As
the ratio of non-irrigated to irrigated
wheat land rises from year TO year
we may expect TO see the average
yield per acre continue to decrease
In the past We have referred with
considerable pride to the high per acre
yields Of wheat and other sman grains
in Colorado as compared with other
states, but if We expect to develop
our non-irrigated agricultural lands
We must be content in the future to
see these averages drop until they
approach much nearer the low levels
Of such states as Iowa, the Dakotss,
Kansas and Oklahoma. The average
yield of wheat per acre for 1915 was

The third crop in acreage and value
is corn. Five years ago the average of
corn reported by the bureau of crop
estimates for Colorado was 100000
with total yield of OCT 900 bushels
the largest crop on record here. Its
value at prices prevailing November

acreage cultivated for grain there was

reau has estimated the area harvested
in 1918 at 742,0O0 acres, with total
yield of l3,739,OOO bushels. The in
crease in acreage has been confined
largely to the non-irrigated districts,
with the result that average yields are
gradually decreasing for the state at
large, because the new land being cul-

Now the so-called German "govern-

notorious Haniel Won Haimhausen as
ambassador to this country. Hahn

the German embassy at Washington
during the regime Of the infamous
Bernstorff. No one who in any capaci-
ty represented Germany in this coun-
try previous to the war should be &C
cepted as ambassador, and we scarce

should this dirty Haimhausen be per-

At last we are to have the big show,
1.-THE Heart of Humanity" conceded
by press and public to be the greatest
entertainment of all times. It's en-:
gagement and date in this city are be.
ing announced elsewhere in this issue
Of this paper.
"The Heart Of Humanity" is not an
unknown attraction. It is the same
grand entertainment which has had
over twenty weeks run in Minneap-
oils and some eight or more weeks in
st. Paul. 1t will be presented to us
in it's entirety.
"The Heart Of Humanity" is con-
coded to be the greatest production
the world has ever witnessed. No
production has ever held the public
interest so grippingly as has this great
spectacle.
It is story of mother love which
has an irresistible appeal for every
one to whom there is no more endear-
ing and sweeter word than ''home."
