little less than third of the total
income of the territory, even though
it is confined to territory only two
miles wide and about twelve miles

to such an extent that there is con-

Much more interest in this phase of
farming is developing. Some sixty
cars of cattle have been fed on the
tops this year, and several of sheep
are being put in top block condition.
The beet tops supplement the use of
hay, which is high enough this year
to be grave concern to feeders less
fortunately located in high feeding
centers. This gives our valley an ad
vantage which is causing wide
spread in the feeding of these by-pro-
ducts.
Much land is being purchased and
it is hoped that occupation by the
owners will increase the production.
The fact that the most of the land
is going into the hands of men that
have been renting in the community
indicates that there is nothing specu-
lative nor inflated in the r.,ices. AS

bout $1,000 in dump labor and about
the same in contracts for loading

eral thousand dollars worth of busi-

somewhat to the income of the com

These dumps are supplied from

The intellectual part of Sedgwick
is well taken care of by force of five
teachers, handling all twelve of the
grades in the grammar and high
school, under the direction of Loren
D. Root, whose previous year of SER
vice here has demonstrated his ability
to turn out work acceptable to this
community, other schools Of its class
and to higher institutions. Natural
ly the attack of Spanish Influenza,
which was fortunately very light here,
has delayed the work as in other
places, but he promises that by the
close Of the year work, the standard
will be at par. Our school building
accommodates about one hundred and
fifty pupils and is at its capacity.
Other nearby schools take care of the
outlying districts, and every child of
this small kingdom has AN opportun-

during the entire year and who IN
many cases ultimately come to farm
for themselves and to purchase land.
These families, IN addition to those
of the farmers. bring the average up
to about one family to each eighty
acres of land. Thus while it might
be pointed out that each individual
family was not more prosperous than
those in more sparsely settled local
tiles, in that they produce no more,
they add business to the country as
a whole and largely increase the az
grcgatc of production.

No town can claim credit for its
sountry, since the country is the sup
port of the town. In publishing to
the readers of the Grit-Advocate the
virtues and prosperity of the western
half Of Sedgwick county, the town
could not be allowed to monopolize
the important place, nor the
space in the article, yet its business
is the index to the magnitude of the
production and the attitude of the
business men, limits to some degree
the extent of it's development. A
cramped business and narrow mind
ed attitude always advertise lack Of
faith in community.
These undesirable features have
been noticeably lacking in Sedgwick.

Its population of about two hundred,
is prosperous, happy, and comforta-
bic, and poverty is unknown. Its
homes are above the average in COM

establishments supply it with eXcell-
cnt goods at reasonable prices. Its
town council is made up of progress
sive men who are at present well a
long toward a large improvement by
the installation of lights and water.
This project has the hearty approval
of the board and is favorably talked
of among the people. 1t involves the
voting of bonds sufficient to install
a plant large enough to take care of
a largely increased population. En-
ginecrs are preparing various plans

ago, Sedgwick was mere

blot on the landscape. con-

buildings, a fairsized area of sage
brush, and pasture land, a large and
prosperous population of jack rabbits,

wick built; and the development of

and the issue will shortly be before
the people.
Business in Sedgwick is always
good. The business interests consist
of: The The First National Bank,
three general stores, one hardware
store, lumber yard, harness and store
store, lumber yard, harness and shoe
taurants, blacksmith shop, two pool
rooms, meat market, and creamery
station. The aggregate of business
conducted in the whole town is about
The Julesburg grit-advocate., 1919-02-20

one of the richest strips of land in
Northern Colorado begun and carried
past the safety point to where it can
grow by leaps and bounds into an
ideal farm center. AS is usually the
case where men familiar with condi-
tions are willing to risk their all to
build their country, more capital was
induced to enter and soon the found
alton was laid for the vast amount of
products which has constantly flowed
from this center to ready market,
and brought back the necessities and
comforts which make this the desira-
Bile home spot which it is, and the hub
about which some fifteen townships
of territory revolves. Today its valu-
alton is around four millions and the
annual production of the agricultural
The Julesburg grit-advocate., 1919-02-20

aided by their confident neighbors
and townspeople, are today becoming
the capitalists by purchasing the
farms. organizing their labor, and de-
veloping their farms. The capital,
thus relieved is able to turn to newer
channels in the town and on the north
and south table land. In such man
ner does Sedgwick community yearly
add to its part in the development of
Northern Colorado.
A we said before the town must not
claim too much space, yet brief
description of its business organiZa-
tion is not amiss. 1t boasts of the
best located townsite east of the foot
hills, on a sandy ridge, well drained,
supplied with good water, and its
share of the famous Colorado climate.

three-quarters of million per year.
The mercantile establishments do Gre
dit to the place. All carry large and
complete stocks and do an immense
business. Their management is such
that there is very little outside trad
ing done, and they are thus able to
lead this section of Colorado in their
lines.
The various other businesses follow
in their lead and Sedgwick service
is far above the average.
The Julesburg grit-advocate., 1919-02-20

perpstuation Of the crop is assured;
and indications are that the 1919 beet
crop will be larger than for some
years past.
The farmers income from the three
beet receiving stations is about
$230,0O0, rather a handsome figure
for such small strip of territory.
This in turn distributed to labor and
business makes the community pros
porous and enables the farmers to
live in comfort not possible under Il
less valuable crop.
Naturally such a vast crop requires
considerable outlay of labor and live
