LIVE AND LET LIVE"


f. Mereouch, In Seccessful Farming
An old Irishman was told by for
tune teller that he could make three
wishes and she would tell by the cards
whether or not his wishes would come
true.
His first wish was for a fine farm
where he could have a beautiful
country home and well-bred livestock,
etc. The cards said that wish would
be granted.
His second wish was for big green
automobile to carry him from the fine
farm to the city and back. The cards
showed that wish would be granted
also.
Before he made his third wish the
fortune teller warned him that he had
an enemy, q red d-headed, freckled-faced
man who smked pipe and that If the
third wish were granted his enemy
would receive double portion Of
whatever he wished for.
The Irishman scratched his head
for a moment in deep thought. "Ah'"
said he, that would be that blackheart-
ed Duncan! II he gets twice as much
as do of everything that comes to
me on that wish then I'll wish for wan
glass eye for meself."
There are merchants that are like
that. The look upon everyone as
their enemy and begrudge them profit
or pleasure, even tho the merchant
will make profit at the same time.
Such a merchant is apt to fill his
store with goods that were bought
cheap but which he can't sell, rather
than stock up with standard salable
merchandise known value and estab-
lished reputation at price that shows
the maker q profit to be retailed at a
price that shows the merchant profit.
Such merchants do not benefit a
town. The do not build community.
The do not help the reputation of q
town as a trade center.
The merchants of your town who
have the steadiest and surest incomes,
are the merchants who are featuring
the things the people know about.
Their clerks are selling and delivering
while the clerks of the man who only
considers price are explaining and ex-
changing goods
Known value and established repu-
tation in merchandise are assets to
your merchants Unknown merchan-
disc is often liability. 1t costs con-
fidence and good will, which are the
warp and wool of business.
Your paper is of more value to your
merchants when the use it as a me
dium to tell the people where they car
buy things that have already estab-
lished general reputation thru good
advertising.

M Enormou. Rate.

The Perennial Peppergrass which
promises 10 become a yery serious pest
has recently made its appearance in
Colorado. especially in the San Luis
valley and on irrigated lands along the
eastern slope.
This plant is botanically known as
LepidIum draba but in common with

nized ba number of pet names such
q Perennial Peppergrass, European
Peppergrass. Downy Cress etc
IL somewhat resembles the common
peppergrass Of our dooryards but it
differs from this in having deep-grow-
ing perennial roots which enable il to
live from year to year and spread out
in colony formation which seem to
defy the best. efforts TO eNterminate IL.
In plowing each fragment of root
may start new plant. Not only
does it spread by root but it has been
estimated that n single plant may pro-
duce as many rs 10000 seeds during
one season II appears, therefore,
that the weecly characteristics of the
Bindweed and Russian thistle have
been combined in this one plant.
This plant was introduced from
Europe some twenty years ago and
undoubtedly has been carried into Col
orado in foreign grown alfalfa, of
which there is an abundance on the
Colorado markets at the present time.
The most effective way of destroying
II is to keep it cut in order to starve
out the roots and prevent II from pro-
ducing seeds.

Present conditions indicate that the
production of both corn and wheat in
Colorado this year will be the largest
in the history of the state. The fore
cast of the Colorado Crop Reporting
Service, based upon conditions of crops
on July /, indicates a production Of
"a ,agS 900 bushels of wheat, compar-
ed with l7,645, 900 last year, the larg-
est crop grown in the state up to that
time; and l5,203, 900 bushels Of corn,
compared with IL ,205 900 bushels last
year and ll,2S0,0O0 bushels in 1915,
the largest crop grown in the state up
to this time. Final reports on acreage
of wheat may raise the production
somewhat above the figures here
given.
The condition of wheat on July
was 80 per cent of normal, compared
with rs per cent last year and ten
year average on July Of 81 per cent.
The conditions of spring wheat at the
same time was SO per cent Of normal
compared with so per cent on July /
last year and an average of 81 per
cent on July for the past ten years.
Weather conditions have been espee-
ially favorable for wheat and this to-
gether with the large acreage Is re-
sponsible for the high production fore
east.
The production Of potatoes this year
q estimated at 1907, 900 bushels,
compared with 1l.0l0, 900 bushels last
year. The acreage is about $1,000
compared with 1880 last year. The
