HOME BUILDING ASSOCIATION
Plans Rapidly Maturing for Perman-
ent Association That Will Build
Homes and Also Encourage
Others in Building.

The committee headed by Mr. C. p.
Adams as chairman, which was ap-
pointed several weeks ago at the home
building meeting, has been formulat-
ing plans for effective work since, and
on last Thursday Messrs. Adams and
Maxwell started out with plan for a
S25 900 corporation to build residences
and in two hours time sold Sl650O of
the capital stock. A meeting cf the
committee and of all interested was
called for that evening end the plans
placed before them and discussed. The
committee was authorized to go ahead
with its plans and incorporate the as
sociation. II looks as If the capital
stock would be oversubscribed even be-
fore the incorporation is complete. The
association expects to build number
of residences itself and sell or rent
at reasonable figures and once the
start is made it will go a long ways
to encouraging a general building
movement that will supply at least
some of the immediate demands of our
city At least one hundred houses
could be rented here in thirty days
If they were to be had and this new
association should meet with the
hearty encouragement of all interest
ed in Lamar and its future growt.
The greatest handicap Lamar faces
now is the lack of buildings Of all kinds
Business houses, warehouses, resi-
dences are all so far short of the de-
mand that people are being constantly
turned away, who really desire to To-
cate and go into business here.

GENERAL COLORADO NEWS

Reports from all banks in the state
tabulated by the State Immigration
Department. show that on the last day
of 1919 the total deposits were $780,
267 ,5O3.ll, compared with S255, ,SS7.-
03l.S2 on the last day of 1918 and
S22s, s,154 ,52S.14 at the close of 1916
This is an increase of S64 1904 20,
or about % per cent, during 1919, and
an increase of s92,112,974.97, or about
20 percent since the beginning of 1917.
These reports show that the total
assets of all banks in the state at .he
beginning of this year were s3Ss,814.-
470.5S, an increase of SS3.032, 1892,
or % per cent, during 1919, while the
loans and discounts were S214, ,124 ,3S3.-
~, an increase of S49,490. S6O.74, or
about % per cent, in the past twelve
months. The increase in deposits
since the beginning of 1917 may be
considered all the more remarkable
when it is recalled that the people of
Colorado have purchased Liberty and
NlClOfy DOiluh anu Mdi savings StdiApe
and subscribed to various war activi-
ties during that period something more
than 5000, 100000. The gross amount
of war securities held in this state is
perhaps considerably less at the pre-
sent time than the total amount pur-
chased by Colorado people, as result
of the sale of bonds to eastern invest
ors, but Colorado people perhaps hold
at this time close to 100000. 900 worth
of these securities, face value, which
may be added to their bank deposits to
give true idea of the increase in
wealth in this state since the begin
ming of 1917. The figures compiled
by the Immigration Department are
subject to slight corrections, but are
correct to within a few hundred dol
lars. At the beginning of 1920 there
were 1872 national banks in the state
and 24O state banks and trust compan-
les.

FARMERS URGED TO RAISE
ONLY PUREBRED STOCK
Specialists Say That the Best Way
to Become Successful Stockmen
is to Avoid Scrub Material.

The purebred sire crusade was orig
mated by the United States Depart
ment Of Agriculture and any farmer
who uses pure bred sires entirely is
eligible to join and by complying with
certain regulations, he will be given
an official emblem by the Department.
Farmers or breeders who desire to
join in this work should apply for
proper blanks to their County Agents
or to the State Agricultural College.
Fort Collins.
Breeders having pure bred stock for
sale will be much benefited by this
crusade and others will place them
selves in a position where effective
help can be rendered them. This is a
splendid opportunity for beginners in
the live stock business to rapidly forge
their way to the front.

Many farmers are giving attention

The pioneering stage in the develop

good prices for farm products during

many to consider putting the door yard
and surroundings into shape to reflect
the prosperity that actually exists.
Trees and shubbery should be plant

Tree planting may be done as early
in the spring as the ground becomes
thawed, and in any event should be
done before the buds swell. Planting,
then, is usually done between March
18th and May LIST.
Nurseries have means for holding
nursery stock dormant until late
spring.
The time to order from the nursery
is as early in the year as possible, and
nursery stock is in great demand this
year and is bringing high prices. If
prompt action is not taken trees may
be unattainable among the species for
non-irrigated regions. In eastern
Colorado are Honey Locust, Russian
Olive (very scarce), Black Locust, il
distant frcm areas infested with black
locust bOrers, American Elms and
blackberry (very scarce). For ever
greens the Jack Pine and the Western
Yellow Pine, both comparatively cheap
and obtainable, and the Rocky Noun
tain Red Cedar, which is difficult to
obtain and costly, are recommended.
The State Forester, located at the
Agricultural College at Fort Collins,

Rather Hard on Mr.. Wilson's Predic-
tion

The announcement that Germany is
resuming her trade with Argentina re-
calls the assertion made several
months ago by President Wilson, that
the immediate ratification of the Peace
Treaty was necessary in order that
peace-time commercial relations might
be resumed. America has already re-
stored her trade relations with Ger
many, and Germany is finding a way
to regain portion Of her former
trade with American Republics even
though the Treaty is still unratified.

RAPIDLY CLEARING
Sugar Beet Growers Released on
Pledge to Cut Down Years
Acreage.

Colorado beet growers have been re-
leased from pledges to cut down their
sugar beet acreage unless higher prices
are guaranteed for the 1920 crop by
the manufacturers. The Mountain
States Beet Growers association has
issued a statement to its members,
telling them to use their own discre-
tion as to price and acreage in deal
ing with the sugar companies this
year.
Officials Of the association say there
was not enough time to enforce their
demand for a sliding scale for the 1920
crop, but that conferences will! be held
during the coming summer, at which
the beet growers will be organized
Systematically and sliding scale for
the 1921 crop will be demanded Of the
sugar companies. Unless this demand
is granted, officials of the growers
association say, the growers will plant
other crops.
The statement of the growers asso-
citation points out that the public
might become doubtful of the justice
and wisdom of the growers position
should the beet farmers fight the is
sue to a complete defeat of the sugar
companies. During this summer we
h. 4. nf o. La
Great Western and other companies,
and use every just and manly means
to agree with them on n form Of con-
tract for 1921 that will be both profit
able to US and just to the mill men and
the public"
The above news item carried in the
daily papers of yesterday shows that
the question of beet acreage in Colo
RADIO is being rapidly solved for this
season. The farmers who Joined the
association are released from their
pledges and can do as they please in
dividually. Many insist they cannot
make reasonable profit at the price
offered and will refuse to plant, while
many others are equally insistent that
it is a profitable crop at s12 per ton
and will plant largely increased acre
age. Between the two IL is probable
the acreage for Prowers county will
be about the same as for the 1919
season.
The main question Of the sliding
scale is postponed until next year. but
as we understand at the recent session
of the field agriculturists Of the COM
panies from all over the country that
assembled in Denver a few weeks ago
the announcement was made that prac-
tically all the companies had agreed
to offer no other kind of contract in
the future but the sliding scale. 1t is
well known that since the establish
ment of the American Beet Sugar Co.
in the Arkansas valley they have al
ways favored sliding scale and their
first contract each year has been made
out on that basis, but has been chang
ed on demand of The majority Of the
beet growers, because owing 70 the
late growing weather conditions here
the sugar percentage is not so high as
in many other beet sections and most
farmers have preferred the flat rate.

composed of the counties of Daca,

The program for the day included
a visit to the various state roads IN
this vicinity and a demonstration OF
the Highway Maintainer, but owing to
the weather conditions both Of these
had to be abandoned. The organization
for the district was completed, after
which all the subjects proposed in the
program were brought up before the
meeting and thoroughly discussed in
a manner that showed not only general
interest. but that the subjects had
been carefully studied.
Owing to the conditions that have
arisen through shortage of farm labor
whereby the farmers are prevented
from dragging the roads as much as
formerly, a resolution was proposed
and unanimously adopted that the
state highway commission be request
ed to maintain seventeen outfits IN
the eleven counties Of the district to
maintain the state highways. These
outfits are to be located so as to be
most convenient to their work md the
proportion of the charges due from
the counties to be determined by each
county's proportion of state road mile
age.
Under the new district system the
various officials will be in much more
direct contact with the work over
which they take charge and it is be-
loved far morc good for the roads
will be the result. The next meeting
is to be held at La Junta April Sth

journed to the Ben Mar Hotel where
fine banquet was served AMI most
