Land Demand Slows Up

The number of inquiries being re-
ceived by the State immigration De-
partment at the present time indicate
that the demand for Colorado lands
by people in other states is not quite
so heavy as it was last fall and win
ter. The general impression is that
a considerable construction in the
money market has slowed down the
demand for land to some extent in all
parts of the country, but that a re
newed demand will be evident i'm
mediately after crops begin to go to
market Crop conditions in Colorado
are exceptionally good at this time
and land men generally look for an
excellent movement of farm land this
fall.

Storm Hits Upper Valley

According to reports received Tues
day morning by the Daily News, the
storm which hit Lamar Monday aft
ernoon about 4 O'Clock did conside-
cradle damage to crops in certain sec
ticns. of the valley. Reports from
Bristol this morning We're that the
heavy wind and rain which was ac-
companied by considerable hail, had
caused heavy losses to crops in that
section. The territory surrounding
Las Animas also received a heavy
rain. which put the roads in bad
shape for homecomers from the var
ious celebrations. But very little
rain fell in Lamar. A heavy wind
preceded the rain and caused heavy
dust storm which caused fastening
to shelter of those who were on the
streets In the vicinity of TWO
Buttes a good rain was also reported.

HOLLY is BECOMING
REAL DAIRY CENTER
Five Hundred Cows Are Now MIXED
Within Radius of % Miles

According to incomplete returns of
a canvas now being made by com
mittee of the Holly Commercial Club,
consisting of A. A. Morich and l. N.
Swafford, it has been ascertained
that more than 500 dairy COWS are
now being MIXED by dairymen and
others following dairying and mixed
farming within a radius of % miles
of Holly.
1t has also been ascertained that
by a little effort and inducement that
this number may be easily increased
to | 900 to ! 200 cows. This mum
Der of cows should be fairly able to
justify the establishment OF a milk
condensory here in Holly, with what
additional milk that could Ue snip
ped in from outside
This is also an indication that this
section is becoming more and more "a
real dairy country while mixed farm
ing is at the same time developing as
never before. In fact the development
Of the non-irrigated lands contiguous
to Holly has received greater impetus
during the past six months by reason
of the new farmers from other states
who have bought here, than has been
manifested during the past five or six
years, all told Many large tracts
are now being broken up south Of
here for fall wheat.
