Corn and hogs keep side by side. No
| corn, no hogs. Colorado is becoming
corn state and that accounts for the
| fact that corn show is to be held this
| year in connection with the National
| Western Stock Show at Denver, Jan.
Is to 30. 1t is the first corn show of
| statewide character held in Colorado.
| Corn growing has advanced in this
state with wonderful strides, because
the farmers have come to believe in 1t.
| The show will promote this belief. LOG
raising also has made wonderful adj
vance, and the show management has
| been compelled to erect an exhibition
building for swine. This pavilion is
| just finished at Il cost of $4,000. IT Is
| 1O0xlS5 feet, built of brick and tile
and cement sloping floors. An unusual
feature of the building will be II huge
| fireplace around which will be erected
a sales and display room. at the show
last year there were ninety head of fat
swine and jI5 head Of breeding swine
entered.
The first biennial report of the state
blind benefit commission records the
expenditures of OG73.9G from sixty.
| three counties during the two-ycar pc
rlod. Half of this sum is paid by the
| state and the balance by the counties
concerned. On November 3Oth, the
last day of the biennial period, and
the end of the fiscal year, the state
reports balance of about $4,000 in
the blind commission treasury. Last
year the fraction of n mill tax levy
| appropriated by the Legislature for
| this purpose brought in about $4,000.
1t is estimated that this appropriation
will amount to $4,000 for 1921, which
added to the balance on hand would
! give the commission about S77 900 for
the coming years work.

with Acting Gov. George Stephan GER
