Big WHEAT YIELDS
IN NUM- TERRITORY

Some banner fields are being
threshed from the wheat fields west
of Mum this year Combine thresh-
ing is nearly finished and the grain
Is averaging from thirty to fifty
bushels per acre.
X. E. Combs secured an average CT
30 bushels per acre from 100 acres on
section 1857.
800 acres owned by Rev W. l.,
Cline on the south half OF section
36-9-67 produced an average OF 37A
bushels per acre. This field was
pnite rolling and the grain on the
low places was so heavy that 1t
went down and became badly lodged
causing loss estimated at four or
five bushels per acre.
Hart Bros. field tf $50 acres en-
section 33-9-67 threshed out an aver
age OF 40 bushels per acre. This
was the famous Kanred wheat which
has been raised extensively by this
firm the past two seasons.
The banner yield reported 80 far
this season Is that OF Dick" Cal
braith who had a field OF fifty acres
on section 29-9-G7 tnat averaged 81
bushels per acre,
Turner Bros combine has been
pulled in for the season and sGme
of the others will finish this week
or early next week with favorable
weather while few have from ten
days to two weeks more work yet
Although the rains early In the
week greatly delayed threshing and
thereby made big cut in the amount
of wheat maketed, twenty one cars
were shipped from Num- the past
week ending last night.~-Tha Num-

Wonderful Races
At Coming Fair
THREE TIMES As MANY ENTRIES
IN HARNESS EVENTS As
EVER BEFORE; HOST or
RUNNERS ALSO.

It will be a three-ts-one proposition
In the line Of harness racing at the
state fair. which this year vii be held
September 26 to 80 inclusive.
Three.to.one In this case means that
there are three times as many horses
entered as ever before.
From all over Colorado and adjoin-
Ing states these horses are coming
fact is many of them are already on
the grounds, and some have been
there all winter, spring and summer.
II there wasn't anything else at the
fair the harness races alone would be
attraction enough to bring the people
from everywhere.
Speed ring men throughout the
country have learned that they get u
square deal at the Colorado state fair !;
they have learned that the purses are
attractive, that the track and the ell
mate is good and that It pays to cut
out some other state fairs. II neces.
sary, to come here, and they are do
ing 1t in n number Of cases.
Result, the Colorado state fair gets
the best there are for the 1921 races.
There are so many entries In some
Of the events that In certain cases
they may have to be cut, making two
races out Of one; otherwise there
would not be room for the horses on
the track. For instance, there are thir.
ty entries In the 2:24 class.
Racing begins Tuesday, September
n, and continues each day.

LIGHTING PLANT TO
CHANGGE HANDS

For some time negotiations have
been going on for the transfer Of the
electric light plant. The somewhat
complicated situation required some
time to straighten out to point
where both parties could tell wha,
they were selling and buying.
However, negotiations have reach
ed satisfactory conclusion, and Mr.,
C. L. Brocket will take over the plant
and light service will be resumed at
some time early in September.
The owner is thoroughly conver-
SAINT with electrical problems and
will make some immediate improve
msnts in the plant and more extern
sive betterments as the business JUS
titles.
We think we may safely say that
the plant will be made Just as effic-
lent and complete as the revenues re-
ceived will justify; in fact, Mr.. Brock
ct strikes us as the sort Of man who
will endeavor to keep the plant just
q little ahead Of the development Of
the town. willing to make some addi-
tions for reasonble prospects Of fu-
ture business.
II is probable that that some street
lights will be arrange, along Centdal
Avenue and at intervals where most
needed in other parts of town.
In this connection, our readers
will be interested in knowing that
reports on price Of material and la
Dor indicate that the water works
could be constructed now for about
Is per cent less than when last under
consideration. 1t is probable that a
further decline may be expected In
material, and We can expect OF see
the project to be revived as soon as
financial conditions are easier.
We are not bold enough to predict
the time that will be, but do not ex-
pect that It will come much inside Of
a year.

|O|L WELL NORTH
| Of SToNEHAM

The Enterprise Is not much given
to predicting very strongly on oil
prospects. We have felt that there
were reasonable grounds for testing
the field, but we have not felt that
there was any occasion for going
wild or for any oil boom.
We have been hoping to get an op-
portunity to go out to the well that
is being sunk north OF Soneham, but
there is not much leisure for the
wicked to run around and we have
been sticking pretty close to home.
However, We hear some reliable
reports that sound very encouraging.
IA Greeley paper tells US that this
company Is preparing to bring In
another rig to start second we'll.
Hugo Kurz tells us that at some
thing like 500 feet In depth a small
oil seep was found. It Is not in pay
Ing quantities, but 1t Is sure enough
.oil, and the indications are strong
enough 80 that the men who are
In charge Of the rig express every
confidence that they will strike oil
In paying quantities at a lower lev
ell. These m = ere old experienced
drillers and their optimism may be
taken as basis for encouragement.
The well is now down 500 feet or
better and going right along.
Mr.. Cross has had the best author
tiles obtainable examining the sur
face Indications and they believe
that this section will develop into q
productive oil field.
In the case of the men Mr.. Cross
has had here, they are backing their
judgment with their own money. 20
we are informed.
II would seem as II there was NO
doubt about the field being thor
oughly tested in various places.
We shall not be surprised to see
some big wells brought In. On the
other hand. we are not going to be
greatly disappointed II no highly
profitable wells are found.
Prospects are sufficient to Justify
testing the held; they ars. not suhic-
lent for q man with dependents to
stake his last dollar on the venture.
or course II oil is struck, you will
say the above was bum advice, and
II 1t is not struck, we may get the
reputation Of being second Solo
mon; neither deserved,

COLORADO FARMERS
ARE NOT SLACkERS

The great value OF the agricultural
statistics collected annually by the
county assessors for the state Immi-
grafton Department is emphasized
again this year by the facts they have
brought out about increases in acer-
age Of certain crops, especially winter
wheat and potatoes. Early In the
season. when the estimates were be-
ing made of the acreage devoted to
the various crops for this year, It
was the general belief that farmers
in Colorado would cultivate smaller
acerages to nearly all crops this year,
the same as they apparently were do
Ing In most Of the other states. Pre-
yailing opinions were that reduced
prices and the stringent money mrrk-
ct had induced trainers here to cur
tail their farming operations very
materially.
The figures gathered by county
assessors, however. reveal the fact
that farmers in Colorado are culti-
waiting larger area this year than
has ever before been under cultiva-
tion in the state. The acreage de-
voted to corn is about the same as
that OF last year. that devoted to bar
ley and oats perhaps a little larger,
and that devoted to both wheat and
potatoes shows large increases over
last year. Early estimates indicate
that about $4,000 acres have been
planted to winter wheat In the state,
whereas the reports OF county asses
sors show that the actual paintings
were in the neighborhod Of l,45O, 900
acres. In the case of potatoes early
estimtes indicated about $1,000 acres
while the reports Of assessors show
that more than 5000 acres OF DO
tatoes were actually planted.
Before acreage figures from coun.
ty assessors were available In this
state estimates placed the area de-
voted to wheat here at considerably
less than 1000 900 acres. The Year
Book Of the U, 5, Department Of Ag-
riculture places the acreage OF wheat
In the state In 1918 at 742.O00 acres.
County assessors reported 1,325,733
acres OF wheat planted In the state
for the 1919 harvest. and the census
bureau found 1,32S,6l6 acres OF
wheat harvested In 1919. These CEN
sus figures showed that figures show
ed that figures collected by assessors
were incomplete, for very consid-
cradle acreage OF spring wheat plant
ed in 1919 was not harvested on ac-
count of crop failure, and some win
ter wheat also was abandoned that
year. The assessors figures, howev-
er, reveal the iact that acrea .;e esti-
mates for wheat Us we'll As for sever
al other crops were far too low for
Colorado
Since 1919, which was the first
year agricultural statistics were col
lected by county assessor3 there has
ports made. This year the reports
show approximately 1926, 900 acres
of wheat in the state, and indica-
tions are that they are perhaps 95
per cent complete.

 CONSIDERING BANK
 IN PHIL CAMPBELL

Phil Campbell, February 1S.-(Special.)- A. M Grimsley, president of some 10 or 12 banks, and with headquarters in Fayette, will be here tomorrow in the interest of the organization of bank here Because of slow collections the local bank was forced to close it's doors during the holidays, but efforts were begun immediately looking to the re- establishment of that institution.
 Interested parties last week reported collection of stock in new bank amounting to $500 as subscribed by local people, and Mir. Grimsley in the begin ming, it is said. stated that he Would take stock to the amount of $10,000, and requested that at least $5,000 be absorbed by local citizens. Application for char ter for the new bank has already been made, and it is hoped to have it's doors open for business by March 15
 A feature of the prospective institution is the fact that the mercantile interests Of the town will be more thoroughly rep resented in it than in the old bank.

 At the same time it is doubted by the best attorneys in Congress that the ''offense" of the judge was so serious, or of such nature, that Con gress would be justified in formally giving 1t consideration. In the event that 1t is subsequently, ascertained that Congress has the legal right to proceed. it is clearly indicated that only with the greatest difficulty, if at all, could sufficient strength be mus tered to sustain impeachment pro- ceedings.

 The "entanglement" of the judge with baseball, however, is an alto gether different question. The Con- gress seems to hold the view that it is unbecoming for a dignified judge of the United States court to engage in a pursuit which is a play" or sport" despite it's popularity and its value as national tonic. It is ap- parently the opinion of a majority, also, that the judge, in spite of his admitted ability cannot give his best effort to the governments business, and at the same time, cleanse, elevate and conduct the institution of base ball.
 It is very probable that the Welty bill will be enacted. It~is said that no other federal judge in the United States has "side line" and that the opposition to the bill will in con sequence be relatively small. In the event the bill is enacted, it would be interesting to follow the procedure of Landis He is devoted to the bench and to baseball, 1t is said. As judge he receives $6,000 per annum; as a baseball official, s42,000.
 Tt is claimed, however. that Judge Landis is not connected with baseball because of its highly remunerative features and that when it is necessary

ALLGO0D WOULD AMEND
 STATE FERTILIZER LAW

Montgomery, February 1S.-( (Special.) )-if Governor Kilby does call an extra session of the legislature, M c. Allgood, state commissioner. of agriculture, will suggest the enactment of a law amending the fertilizer act so as to permit the use of fertilizer tags from year to year until the supply is exhausted. thus saving to the state alone this year 5000 or one third the cost of the extra session:
 The law required the purchase Of tAge last May The consumption of fertilizer has greatly decreased. which has de- creased the sale of tags. The law re- quires the destructipn of all tags on hand at the end of the fertilizer season. Mr. AlIgood proposes to use ne tags pur- chased this year on fertilizer to be sold next year. If the law is not amended. the tags must be destroyed. thus losing to. the state tho cost of printing.
