There is danger of rust when
stove or furnice stands unused for
some time. Smokepipes should be
taken down in the spring, cleaned,
and stored in dry place. The doors
should be left open to keep the in

Fulton County Is Record One In Soy

Unless early action is taken to dag
nose the cases and apply proper treat
ment when disease appears in their
swine herds, losses are inevitable
The chances are many that the trou-
BILE is cholera, and under such circum-
stances delay is dangerous, for when
that disease has spread and progress
ed in the herd the loss of many hogs
may be expected.
Early attention in an outbreak OF
hog cholera is essential for the sue
cessful treatment of the herd. 1t has
been told repeatedly that anti-hog-
cholera serum is not a cure; its use
is primarily intended as preventive
agent against cholera, and as such
it is universally recognized as the
only reliable treatment. While the
serum seemingly has had some favor
able effect when administered to sick
hogs in the very early stage of the
disease, swine owners should not de-
pend upon the product to save any
number of animals after they have
developed visible symptoms of hoe
cholera.

burned Sunday morning at an early
hour. With the barn his large truck
went up In smoke.
There seems to be no explanation
for the fire, except that tracks were
found leading from the barn and
were traced considerable ways.
There is theory that perhaps

districts are asking increases thii
year. and that only a few OF thu
strongest districts will be able t
decrease their levies. Some decrease
may be expected In most Of the dis.
tricts next year"
Another thing that will please
our readers, Is the fact that the cost
Ct collecting taxes In Weld county
is lower than in any other county
In the state. The Keota News has
condensed into small space an ar.
ticle from the Tribune as follows:
According to audits Of the coun.
ty treasurer ofices Of the various
counties Of the state, Weld county's
taxes are collected at lsss expense
than those Of any other county. In
1919, the county treasurer salaries
per dollar amounted TO .s2c In Lar
inner county. .75c in Denver county,
and SEC In Weld county; and in
1920 the cost In Weld county had
dropped to .42c."
Good news is likely to be mixed
with bad In matters Of taxation this
year and for some years to come:
A piece of unpleasant news at
least comes In the following taken
from the Tribune Of Tuesday:
Action Of the state board, of e.
qualisation in raising the state mill
levy by .SS Of a mill will boost the
state tax Of Weld county $10S, $50
according to estimates Of County
Assessor R. e. Hanna. The levy has
been increased from 3.47 mills to
4.s5 mills by the state board.
Last year Weld county's state tax
was $4o7.2s3.57. This year It will
be approximately $511.0OO. The
jump in In state taxation will neu-
tralize many economies planned and
carried out by county officials to
keep down the county taxes"
This will mean just about 25 per
cent increase In state taxes.
However. the same issue Of thn
Tribune tells US that the state board
Of equalization had put back the
valuation of the sugar company's q
property to the figure set by Asses
sor Hanna. and which had been cni
down by the county commissioners,
It makes difference to $s40. .00o

gar company In this county; ami in

INCREASES WHEAT
HALF MILLION ACRES

Final reports Of county assessors
to the. State immigration Depart
ment show a total OF !, l,7SG,O70 acres
OF wheat In Colorado this year, COM.
pared with 1,354.0 .00S acres reported

4S2,062 acres, or approximately 80
per cent. The increase Is confined
almost exclusively to tho non-irrl-
gated districts OF eastern Colorado
and Is most marked In the southeast
counties. including Kit Carson,
y y, Kiowa. Prowers, Baca and
Las Animas. @ :
This increase is also confined
largely to winter wheat. Assessors
reports this year show 1,408,2e0
acres Of winter wheat, compared
with l,O19.142 acres reported last
year. The spring wheat area report
ed is 377,S10 acres, compared with

should be remembered THAT winter
wheat was hot sr,wn q any con-
siderable extent in Colorado pre-
gi0us to 1908. Siuca that tii1a the
increase in acreage devoted to spring
wheat has been comparatively small
while the winter wheat acreage has
increased steadily and very rapidly.
fhe experience OF growers has PROV
cd that winter wheat Is a much more
dependable crop on non-irrigated
and here than spring wheat, and
he Introduction OF improved strains

ears has resulted In greatly In
-reased interest among farmers In

sors to the immigration Department
ahow that 1887 farmers In the state
grew winter wheat this year, and
1853 grew spring wheat. hut the
average Of winter wheat per farm
IN the state this year is 26.9j acres,
while the average for spring wheat
is but 1923 acres.
Assessors. reports show that 92.04

RAYMER HIGH BASE
BALL CHAMPIONS

i
Raymer has started the athletics,
Of the season right by annexing the
base ball championship OF the North
East Weld League.
We are not going to crow 90 over
" loud about It, for the winning
came 30 near to being the other
way to, that we may. well consider
that It was largely a matter Of luck
that our boys got chance at the
Grover team at all.
The game with Buckingham was
lost by lack Of practice. and 1t eau
only be counted good luck that the
game did not 60 to Buckingham. !.
AS It was the Buckingham game
showed up the weak spots and en-
abled coach johnson to get a fairly
good week Of practice out Of the
boys, with the result that 1t was a
much different team that started
things right OF the first reel last
Friday.
We suspect that Grover suffered
some from over confidence, for they
had twice defeated the Raymer team
this fall. and they naturally thought
they must win this.
The line UP had also been changed
and this proved to be an advantage.
Ntckerson was sent In to pitch
at the start and Schmeeckle to catch.
Thompson was put on third base and
Winifred Powell at first Myers was
put on second and Ducker was at
short stop. Wayne Powell. Conklin
and Sweigard held the field.
Grover went to bat first and while
they hit the ball, two were caught
In the field and one was thrown out
at first.
The Raymer boys went to bat and
got off right. hitting the ball and
scoring four runs the first inning.
In Growers second time at the bat
1t was out for the first three men
up.
Raymer had one bad inning and
a couple OF poor throws to first al
lowst Grover. hopes to rise y trida,
but not for long.
Again about the sixth or seventh
inning Grover hopes frightened as
their batters got to finding Nicker-
son and landed on the ball: but here
pitchers we're changed and Ducker
was put In to pitch the balance OF
the game while Nickerson took his
place at short. From that time on
our team only increased their lead
until at the close Of the game the
score stood 20 to . In favor Of Ray
mer
The score shows the game more
one sided than II seemed. Both
teams had weak places. and had they
been playing opponents that were
up to all the tricks Of the game. and
alert all Of the time, the results
could easily have been changed.
Both teams could be greatly Inn
proved by consistent practice.
Watching the Grover boys, We
conclude that they will not lack for
material to put good basket ball
team on the floor this year. and our
boys will need to do some good work
to be In shape for their early games
with the Grover lads.
The sting on last Fridays defeat
Is going to put them on their metal
TO retrieve their fortunes on the bas-
ket bali floor.
