ing to ! 5 Griffin who was in Greeley
Friday
Griffin says that. the continuous
drop In prices Of farm crops and
scarcity Of money which has affected
the irrigated districts is much more
severe In Its results in the dry lands
He told of seven closing out sales
within radius Of two miles One
northeastern Weld bank had 5000,
900 of outside money loaned along
the Burlington when the depression
came on
Many farmers who are not in debt
are mailing up their houses and 60
ing to the cities until conditions get
better The time is rapidly coming
when the banks will refuse to loan
except to those farmers who use the
methods best adapted to their dis
tricts
There is a great deal OF discour-
agement In the northeastern half nj
the county
Griffin believes that there Is little
prospect of county division for at
least two years He believes that the
county should make an appropria-
tion for an agricultural worker for
the eastern half He stated that
County Agent M q Knapp has ac-
complished a great deal in the dry
lands He believes that Knapp should
be furnished an assistant who will
live in an eastern Weld town and
devote himself entirely to non-irri-
cation farming Greeley Tribune
II county division entailed increas-

hesitate to assume any additional

The drop In prices had to come. but

ahead for some months to come
But why should this deter us from
assuming management Of our affairs?
In another place you will notice
that the tax levies for Weld County
will be higher this year than last
Our contribution to the road fund
will be just a trifle less than last

we will certainly insist that the new

expenditure or reduces the aggregate
volume of taxes, Secretary Carter
Glass declared in a statement setting
forth in detail the Government S
financial condition.
= If the present tax level it retained
and new expenditures are kept down
the turn has come in the tide of Gov
eminent financing, the Secretary as
serted.
Barring the congressional action
mentioned, Mr.. Glass believed the
Treasury would be able to pay its
own way from tax and war salvage
receipts.
Although further issues of Treasury
certificates of indebtness may be ex-
pected, they will be redeemed from
cash on hand rather than through
the sale of new issues of certificates
for the first time since late in 1917.

ed a mighty shifty campaigner,
The Governor and lot of the
other big guns will probably ap-
pear in the old Eighth district in
behalf of Swope before the Ides
of November roll around. The
fact that the Eighth returned to
her Democratic majority in the
recent state races is said to cause
Swope little concern. He over
turned a democratic majority of
nearly 5000 when he defeated
Judge Hardin before, and is said
to be absolutely sure" that he
can overturn Blacks 500 majori-
'ty this year. But that remains
to be seen, and some very inter-
esting politics is apt to be seen in
this district, this season, not only
in the scramble for the demo-
cratic nomination but in the final

FOR SALE

II you've a house or farm for sale
Some one has got to tell the tale;
How many chickens, ducks and pigs,
Your wagons, sleighs and others rigs
How many horses steers and cows
Binders and mowers, drills and plows,
Omitted here for want of space.
We tell them where your farms located
And at what price it's valuated.
We advertise your shop and benches,
Your grindstone, tools and monkey ey-wrenches
The acreage your farm contains,
And how it carries off the rains,
Preventing any chance of floods
That rust the beans and rot the spuds
We state what's under cultivation
And if you're near shipping station.
How much orchard-age of trees
And spring house, never never known to freeze.
How many acres in fall wheat
And if you're near the county seat
The moral of this little tale
Is. when you've anything for sale
That you should advertise to sell it,
And let the Daily Register tell it.
