TO THE FRIENDS AND
READERS OF THE HERALD

Beginning with this weeks issle,
The Herald changes ownership and
management. the writer having sold
the paper to Mr.. ]. c. McCreary OF
Colorado Springs.
In terminating my connection with
the publication do so with mixed
feeling of regret and relief. The re-
gret is the natural result of break
ing up Of business relations and re.
signing the duties of position in
which have for two years been CIV
ing my best efforts to make it sue
cess. My relief is occasioned by the
knowledge that while the publication
was expanded greatly during the past
two years its opportunities for SER
vice will be greatly increased under
the direction of an editor whose past
experience and training better fit him
for the work.
The Herald was purchased by the
writer during the apex Of high prices
and is relinquished when the other
extreme has been reached. With no
previous experience in the publication
Of newspaper We have met these
changing conditions to the best Of
our ability. and can only hope that in
the Judgment OF our readers we have
not wholly failed.
Mrs. Damewood and myself will
continue to reside In the county.
where for the past fifteen years we
have followed it's varying fortunes,
and in which we have more and more
confidence as to its wonderful future
as the years go by.
We feel n pardonable pride in the
fact that we are leaving the paper
with more than double the number
of subscribers we found on the list
when we took charge.
Mr.. McCreary. the new editor,
comes to Holyoke with the very high
est recommendation from his for
mer home. both as a citizen and
newspaper man, and we are sure
that under his able and experienced
direction The Herald will prove a
real community asset and that the
public spirited citizens of Holyoke
and the county will accord him the
support necessary to that achieve
ment
In conclusion we wish to thank
the farmers and business men for
their cooperation and business pat
ronage, which has made the path
comparatively smooth for a green
hand.

SCISSORS to the State immigration p0s
partment for 1921. which show that
acreage cultivated under irrigation In
the state has increased only about
Is per cent since 1909. while acreage
cultivated without irrigation has III
creased considerably more than 100
per cent.
The census reports show that 62
per cent Of all crops acreage harvest
ed in Colorado in 1909 were irrigat-
ed, while in 1919 only 3S per cent OF
the acreage harvested was irrigated.
Tho total acreage harvested in the
state in 1919. according TO the CEN
sus report, was 5,O52.955 acres, an in
crease OF 1913 per cent over the acre
age harvested. The acreage area har.
vested in 1919. according to the same

irrigated crops.
Wheat. corn and sorghums have
shown larger increases In acreage
In non-irrigateed districts In the past

clusively on non.irrigated land. In

only 1855 percent OF the wheat plant.
ed for the 1921 harvest was irrigated.
In 1909, according to the census bu-
