FINE DRY LAND PROSPECTS
Section South of Lamar Makes Fine
Showing Since Spring Rains.

A trip over the country south and
west of Lamar will convince even the
most skeptical individuals that there
is no longer n problem about the dry
lands of southeastern Colorado being
made into a farming country. The
condition has already arrived. 1t is
farming country. With thousands of
acres of winter grains already dotting
the prairie with beautiful patches Of
green, with thousands more acres rap
idly being turned up by the plow, with
pleasant homes and fine barns decorat-
ing the farms and valuable agricnl
tural machines to be seen on mast
every place, there is no longer a ques-
ton whether it is here to stay. Il
can no longer get away. The farms
in that section are heavily stocked with
fine horses and mules, and high class
dairy and beef cattle; besides hogs and
poultry in large numbers. This sec
ton of the country has developed more
rapidly in the past few years than the
irrigated section did in the first dozen
years of its development.
The section of the country just
south and west of Lamar ha3 many
thousands of acres of winter wheat uP
and growing fine and the prospects
for fine season were never brighter.
The people of that section are feeling
in the best of spirits and are prepar-
ing to plant even larger acreage this
spring.

NEW EAGLES HOME
Prowers Aerie No. HOS, +. o. T.. Has
Financed New Home and Work
viii Begin in Few Days.

The hustlirg members of the build
ing committee of the Prowers Home
Building Association, organized to
build an Eagles Home in Lamar, have
progressed far enough to be assured
of The necessary funds to finance their
building operations, and the plans have
been submitted to The city council for
their approval, and on favorable action
will begin work at once. There will
be n meeting of the council tonight
and it is expected that the work will
be undnr way by the first of next week
at least.
The Eagles lodge is one Of the most
rapidly growing and livcst organiza-
tions of the city and their plans call
for a home that will be an object of
pride to them and the city. The site
owned by the lodge is on the corner
of Poplar and Fifth streets just west
Of the Kelsey store, and when this
beautiful new building is erected it
will be n handsome addition to the
looks of that section of our city. This
is to be great building year in Lamar
and the Eagles home will be one of
the leading ones of the many to be
erected.

Bank Statements.

We publish this week the statement
of the First National Bank, and the
showing of continued strength made
at the season of The year when usual
ly the deposits are being withdrawn
through the demands of business,
proves that industries of this section
are recovering from the depression
caused by the radical deflation which
took place in the fall of 1920. There
is n much better feeling in all lines
of industry and business, and this is
reflected in the statements of all the
banks Of the county and of this sec
tion of the state.

DOrst-Alorehouse.

On April 26th in Los Angeles mar
riage took place that interests many
friends of the groom in Lamar. AT
Saint Paul's Episcopal church on that
day Mr.. Arthur H. Morehouse of Hun
tington Beach and Miss Irene Dorst
of Los Angeles were united in mar
riage. Among the guests present were
Mrs. w. l.. Morehouse, mother of the
groom, and sister and brother. Mrs.
Thos. Berry and Frank Morehouse.
The groom is young merchant Of
Huntington Beach but grew to man
hood in Lamar where his parents re-
sided for many years and he graduat-
ed from the Lamar high school. Mrs.
Louella Strain and Mrs. John Y. Brown
of this city are his sisters also. He
has many friends here also whose
heartiest congratulations are extended

COLORADO AGRICULTURE IN 1922
Farmers in the State Are Planting
About the Same Acreage as in
1921.

Report received by the State I'M
migration Department through county
rsscsso-s from approximately 5000
farmers indicate that farming opera
tions are not far from normal in Colo
RADIO this year and that the total acre
age under cultivation will be fully as
great rs that for last year, though
earlier reports had indicated that acre
age would be reduced materially. APP
parently the farms being operated will
have about the same average acreage
under cultivation as last year and there
will be enough new farms put into the
operating class to offset the abandon
ment, which has apparently been rath-
er heavy in few small areas.
Assessors are expected to make re-
turns on about $1,000 farms, so that
the returns so far received do not af-
ford a reliable index as the acreage
of the several crops, except in some
special cases, where n tendency to-
ward increase or decrease is marked.
Apparently the acreage of beans will
be considerably larger than last year,
as some of the leading bean producing
counties already have reported larger
acreage tlian last year and reports for
no county are more than one-half COM
plete. It also is apparent that the acre
age of sugar beets will be below that
of last year, especially in the Arkansas
valley and on the western slope.
Though reports from northern Colo
RADIO are not yet full enough to af-
ford reliable index, they point to
slightly decreased acreage, but the re-
duction apparently will be smaller than
was expected early in the season.
Though comparatively few reports
have been received from the import
ant sorghum producing counties, such
reports rs are now in show n decrease
in the average acreage of these crops
per farm. The same counties show =
slight increase in acreage Of corn and
possibly = slight increase in spring
wheat
Reports from county assessors now
are being received a. the rate of about
400 farms daily ard returns are in
ereasing steadily. The law requires
that all reports be in by June 1, but
conditions generally make this impos-
sible and nearly all assessors find it
necessary to obtain extension of time,
as thei- field work is not completed
until sometime in June. Complete ag-
ricultur1l reports from all counties
generally are not available before the
beginning of July. as work in many
Of the mountain districts always is de-
laycd by unfavo-able weather.

District Court.

Judge Hollenbecli has been keeping
up steady grind in the district court
the past week and has cdcared up
number OF matters that have been or
the docket for sonc time. The court
will be in session all this week and
part Of next. Even at that there will
still be n great many cases that will

many to=ms. The most important
cases that are bcirE tried at present
arc four eases in which the Vista del
Rio Drainage District is bringing suit
to condemn the land It used in right
Of way through the farms of NJ A.
Whites, j. r. Sewer, J. f. Fleshman
and others. 1t is expected that the
decree fixing the prioritics of water
rights in District No. 81 will be fin
ally signed at this term as all matters
have bear finally adjudicated in a
matter acceptable 20 practically every
interest involved. An adjourned term
Of the court will be held in June.

Beautifying Parks.

The city officials have started on
plans for developing the parks of the
city, and last week planted several
hundred trees in the new park on
South Main and Fifth streets. The
move itself meets with the approval
of all citizens, but we think particular
care should be exercised in the selec-
tion of the trees to be planted. OF
those put ous last week a large por-
ton were honey locusts, tree that
is put far down the list of desirable
trees for home or park planting by
the government experts. 1t is neither
a thing Ct beauty or a joy forever
it being one of the very short lived
trees. When planted rs a memorial
it is to be hoped that the memory of
the Individual will far outlast the tree.
The few on our streets have spiked
many times their value in umbrellas
and ladies' parasols; and at certain
seasons Of the year are the worst of
dirt breeders. The initial cost of n
tree is a small item as the main cost
is in its cultivation and good tree
requires no more care than poor one
In a country where so many good
trees can be grown it looks like honey
locusts could be passed up.

Track Meet.

The joint valley meet of the high
school track teams was held last Sat
urday at Rocky Ford and resulted in a
very lop-sided victory for the Rocky
Ford boys. They badly outclassed all
the other teams of the valley and made
the events look very uninteresting. La
mar accumulated few points but only
enough to get its name in the list of
scorers. Some of the schools did not
even do that well.

PARADE AND TREE PLANTING
Closing Exercises of Childrens' Week
Attract Much Attention.

On last Saturday afternoon the clos
ing exercises of Childrens' week were
held consisting of a big parade and
the ceremonies at the new park in the
south part of town. The parade con-
sisted Of long line of trucks loaded
with the school children and autos
with officers Of the various clubs and
organizations taking part in the cere-
monies. Tho parade passed down Main
street ard stopped at the site of the
new park. Here program of music
and addresses was given and nineteen
trees were planted-one each in honor
of the Lamar boys in the service who
died. Besides the many participants
in the parade and exercises there was
a large crowd of spectators.

can party

Indications of u growing Republi-
can sentiment throughout the nation
are strengthened by the result of the
Indiana primary, in which Albert J.
Beveridge and Harry S. New receiv-
ed a total Of more than 100000 votes
in the race for the Republican senator
ial nomination, while the Democratic
candidates received total of less than
100000. What satisfaction Democrats
can get from the results should be
slender when thnse figures are made
known. Democratic tendency to cling
70 n straw is also shown by their at
tempted jubilation over the Maine
election. N which n Republican was
returned to congress. As a matter of
fact. in 1916 the Republican candidate
in the Third Congressional district in
Maine received 81 per cent of the total
vote, in 1918, 5s per cent and in 1912.
