NEW BOOK ON
FARMING OUT
BOOKLET OF 81 PAGES GIVES
VALUABLE DATA ON AGRI-
CULTURE IN COLORADO-CAN
BE OBTAINED BY ALL WHO
ARE VITALITY INTERESTED.

A booklet has just been issued by
the State immigration department
containing detailed agricultural sta
tistics for Colorado for 1928. This
is one of the most complete statssti-
cal agricultural reports issued by any
state, giving data on acreage, pro-
duction and value of all the leading
crops and of most minor crops by
counties, acreage irrigated and nom
irrigated for the leading crops, aver
age yields per acre for leading crops,
acreage of leading crops grown per
farm, number Of farms in operation,
farm acreage being actually farmed
and much other statistical informa-
ton.
Figures are given by counties in
nearly all cases. based upon reports
of county assessors to the immigra-
ton department Acreages reported
by county lssess)rs for tho leading
crops for the past four years are
given, as well as numbers # each
class of livestock reported for as
sessment Annually for the past four
years. Production and value of all
crops for the state as whole f-r
both 1928 and 1922, as determined
by the immigration department in
cooperation with the crop reporting
division of the United States depart
ment of agriculture, are given in one
of the leading tables, while values Of
all crops grown by counties are given
in another.
The booklet contains % maps and
charts showing acreage of leading
crops by counties, distribution Of
patented and cultivated land, distri-
button of fruit trees and other data.
The acreage charts are the most COM
plete vet issued for the state of Col.
Orado.
The publication contains Ga pages.
1t is the second annual issue of agri-
cultural statistics and contains data
which will later be included in the
Colorado Year Book for 1924. 1t is
published in pamphlet form at this
time to meet a wide demand for spe-
cial statistical data on agriculture,
which cannot be met with the avail
able editions of the Year Book. The
Year Book is not generally available
for free distribution, and it contains
much statistical data in which per-
sons desiring the agricultural statis-
tics of the state are not interested.
While the supply Of the current num-
ber of Agricultural Statistics is lin
tied, it is available for free distri-
button to those who are especially in
terested in the statistics of the
states agricultural development.

RUFUS PAUL BELCIN

Rufus Paul, eldest son of Mr.. and
Mrs. Rufus Belgin was born at their
home northwest of Arvada, Oct. Z,
1900, and departed this life at the
place of his birth Feb. 20, 1924; aged
23 years, 4 months and 13 days.
His boyhood was spent on the
ranch and in school. He finished the
grades at DenverView and graduated
from the Arvada high school in the
class of 1919. Before he had the OPP
portunity to really test his powers
and to launch out on the sea of life,
his health was undermined and he
had to nurse and care for weak
body.
For some months during his ILL
ness he read his Bible with his moth
err and pastor and it seemed difficult
to let go of the world.
He leaves to mourn his sad de-
parture his father and mother, his
brothers Arthur and Dale. Others
near and dear to him by ties of ma
ture will mourn him and scores of
neighbors and friends will find their
eyes dimmed and their hearts sad
at the passing.

USE OF NEWSPAPER POWER

We occasionally encounter in our
rounds Of Julesburg and the neigh
boring community the type OF man
who believes that a newspaper Is eag-
er to publish derogatOry things, or
items about people that are sure to
embarrass or render those same peo-
pie unhappy. This is mistekc and
one we regret to call attention 20, be-
cause it IS so unnecessary.
There isn't newspaper man in
this country but WHO could spriip a
sensation in his community II ne
wanted to, At any lime, by merely
printing the things he knows but
does not print! Deciding what not
to print is the most troublesome part
Of editing a newspaper. How many
news items are suppressed for inno-
cent relatives and for the public
good nobody outside newspaper Of
flee has any idea Of. In some in
stances, the man who flies into a
passion because a newspaper prints
something uncomplimentary has ev-
cry reason to feel grateful to the
editor for publishing so little Of what
he knows about the case and the cir
cumstances surrounding it. And Of
ten times the loudest buffer Is the
man who is more guilty than the
public generally credits him with be-
ing. A big noise is often device to
cover cowardice.
Newspapers put up with more
bluffing than any other agency. Not
because they lack the courage to
"call the bluff" but because the ed
itors are unwilling to use the power
they have in hand to send sorrow in
to the innocent hearts Of the real
tives Of the man who is doing the
bluffing.
No, gentle reader, an editor does
MT hunt trouble. On the other hand
he is kept p-e.ty busy turning his
only STIR up I -.yle, and that cannot
10 nybody any good or make any
t2iJ happy.-Julesburg Grit-Advo-

editor took the money, the In
dian wanted n receipt. The edi-
tor tried to talk him out of it.
Mr.. Indian insisted on getting
the receipt. After making it
out. the editor wanted to know
why he was so persistent about
wanting receipt. The Indian
said, me die sometime. Go to
the big gate and st. Peter ask if

He say. did you pay your debts?
