PRIMARIES NEXT TUESDAY
Hear le! Hear Yei The Polls Will Be
Open for the Primaries on
September 18th

The editor of this great moral jour
nal has been sojourning in Denver the
past three weeks in hospital for sick
people and well people who get sick,
and is still on the job at that institu-
tion, and for that reason has been un-
able to tell the Prowers county public
who to vote for and who not TO vote
for at the Primaries next Tuesday,
September 18th.
1t takes lot of nerve to attend to
the other fellows business-and with
all due respect to our nerve-we fall
short when it comes to that job
But right here we might venture 70
say that you can't go wrong If you
will 90 to the polls and vote the Rep
ublican ticket-and VIXEN there is more
than one candidate for the nomination
we ask you 70 use your head.
A woodpecker pecks
Out good many pecks
of sawdust when building a hut.
He works like = niger
To make the hole bigger
And he's sore if his cutter won't cut.
He don't bother with plans
Or cheap artisans;
But there's one thing can rightly be
said,
The hole excavation
Has this explanation:
He does it by using his head.
Be like woodpecker, brother and
sister. Go to the polls next Tuesday,
get a republican primary ballot and
then use your head.
After the boss comes home and ties
can to us he will then have time
to tell you about the real election in
November.

COLORADO AGRICULTURE
More Than Six Million Acres in Gull
tivatiOn.-Large Acreage Increase
in Southeastern Section

Practically complete reports Of the
county assessors to the State Immigra-
tion Department show 5,690,000 acres
of land under cultivation in the state
this year, exclusive of orchards, COM
pared with 5,35S,00 acres reported
last year. This is an increase of a
little more than six percent.
Since nearly all county assessors re-
port somewhat less than the actual
acreage cultivated, it is now evident
that the acreage planted to crops for
harvest in the state this year, includ-
ing native hay, is slightly above 600O,-
900. The actual acreage planted last
year was estimated, or the basis of
assessors' reports, at 5,934 900 acres.
Since the season has been unfavorable
Tor crop production in some sections
of the state this year the acreage act
ually harvested will be considerably
short of the acreage planted.
Increases in crop acreage this year
have been largest in southeastern Col
orado counties. particularly Baca, Las
Animas, Cheyenne and Kiowa. There
have been smaller increases in several
other counties in various sections Of
the state. while number of the older
agricultural counties have shown de-
creases in cultivated acreage. The in
ereases are due chiefly 10 the breaking
Of land that has never been in crop
before.
Weld county again ranks first in
acres reported. Weld county also re-
ports greater variety of crops grown
than any other county in the state. The
largest acreage devoted to one crop
is for wheat, with 175,OOO acres re-
ported. Hay ranks second with 49,
900 acres of all varieties reported.
Logan county ranks second in acre
age of crops, with 425.057 acres re-
ported Wheat is the leading crop
here, with 2O4, ,729 acres reported
Yuma county ranks third, with 411,-
5S2 acres reported, and Washington
county fourth, with 391 ,58s acres re-
ported. Washington county reports
a larger acreage OF wheat than any
other county in the state this year
2S1 .559 acres. Logan county held first
place in wheat acreage for several
years previous to 1922. Yuma county
ranks first in corn, with 127,16o ocres
reported.
Phillips county still ranks first in
percentage of area under cultivation,
with As percent, compared with 43 per-
cent last year. U-der normal condit-
ions this county should have half OF
its area under cultivation next year
Phillips county ranks 54th among the
counties of the state in area and seven
