WEALTH IN WEST
Canadian Farmers Confident of
Record Grain Crop.
Boston Banker, Returning From Trip
Through the Country, Telia of Rich
Yields of Great Northwestern
Wheat Fields.
A Boston banker, desiring to re
cuperate from a season of strenuous
work, did what most bankers do, or
should do, took a holiday, away from
the confines of the city life. Canada
was in his mind. He would make the
trip, learn something of the country,
breathe of Its ozone and return ex
liiluroted both In mind and body. On
his return a few days ago, he told the
reporter of the Wail Street Journal of
the richness of the vast fields of gold
en grain that he saw on his trip
through the Canadian West. Doubt
less he broke his Journey into the
Canadian Rockies long enough to make
an inspection of them. Who could
help it, as from the car window were
to be seen miles and miles of golden
etooks, ranged row upon row away
back to the lines of the horizon? He
must have done so, for when he got
back to the Hub, he was filled with
enthusiasm over his trip and what he
saw in Canada, and he had to get It
off his mind. It was revealed in this
way:
“Canada is getting Rtrong, recover
ing by leaps and bounds from the de
pression caused by war. While unrest
and lack of co-operation seem to be
holding things back on this side of
the border the Dominion to the north
faces an ora of unprecedented activity
and prosperity. One of the basic
reasons for this brilliant comeback Is
the rich yield of the great northwest
ern wheat fields.”
That the crops In Canada, both east
and west, are meeting the expectations
of the farmers is a satisfying fact,
which gives a positive assurance of a
yield that will mean millions of dol
lars to the wealth of the country.
There will probably be as much as two
hundred million bushels of wheat to
export, giving an added wealth to the
country of nearly half a billion dol
lars. In all parts the crop yield
promises to be abundant, and with
favorable weather from now on there
may be expected a harvest that will
equal if not surpass that of 1915. It
will doubtless be pleasing to the many
readers of this paper to know that
the friends they have developing their
farms in this region of big crops and
good prices will participate In this
wealth, and what will be more pleas
ing, is the knowledge of the fact that
the wealth in which they will partici
pate comes from big prices for a
product produced from land purchased
at a cheap price.
Western Canada has never known
a failure In crops. There are districts
where partial failures have been, but
consideration should be given to the
fact that the country, that portion of
it- in which the present grain growing
lies, is from seven to eight hundred
miles in length by half that distance
in breadth.
Because one speaks of the wonder- !
ful success of grain growing there,
there should not be lost sight of the
fact that this is only one Item In the
wealth-producing possibilities. TheTe
is cattle raising, with all the advan
tages in every way that It possesses
anywhere; the dairying industry is as
suming remarkable proportions, and a
great deal of attention is given to the
development of this industry, which la
so adaptable to the country, by both
federal ami provincial governments.—

“Eatonic, in Four Days Did
Me $20 Worth of Good”
So writes Mr. Edward W. Bragg of
Mecca, Ind., who suffered from
stomach troubles for a long time but
could not find anything to help him,
but at last had faith enough to give
eatonic a test. It quickly removed
the excess acids and poisonous gases
from the body and the misery dis
appeared. Of course, when the cause
of the trouble is removed, the sufferer
must get well. Eatonic is quick, sure
and safe, and the lasting benefits
come in new strength, life and pep.

eatonic at a trifling cost and every ail

Rased on this condition and an esti
mated area of 122,000 acres devoted to
the crop, the forecasted production is
1.571,360 bushels. This accounts only
for the rye planted for grain, the total
acreage of rye being considerably
larger than that given above.
The condition of barley in Colorado
on July Ist wns 92 per cent of normal,
compared with 96 per cent on June Ist.
Partial reports of county assessors in

COLORADO NEWS NOTES.
Some Idea of the rapid increase be
ing made in the cultivated acreage of
the state may be gathered from a com
parison of the acreage cropped this
year compared with that reported by
the census bureau for 1909. That year
the total acreage harvested, according
to the census report, was 2,253,145
acres, Including wild hay but not in
cluding orchards. The acreage in cul
tivation this year is slightly more than
double that reported by the census bu
reau for 1909. The largest Increases in
acreage made by any crops in this
period have been for wheat and corn.
In 1909 the area devoted to wheat was
about 340,000 acres. This year the re
ports of county assessors show a total
of more than 1,350,000 acres devoted
to the crop. The census bureau showed
about 326,000 ucres devoted to corn for
grain in 1909, while reports of county
assessors show more than 1,250,000
acres devoted to corn in the state this
pear, of which amount perhaps 75 per
rent will be harvested for grain, while
the remainder will be cut for silage or
fodder or hogged off. Four counties
In the state, Yuma, Morgan, Weld and
Kit Carson, have fully 50,000 acres of
corn this year more than was reported
for the entire state in 1909, while three
counties, Logan, Washington and
Yuma, have more than 100,000 acres of
wheat in excess of that reported for
the entire state in 1909. The area in
cultivation In five northeastern Colo
rado counties, Weld, Logan, Washing
ton, Yuma and Kit Carson, this year is
greater than the entire acreage in cul
tivation in the state in 1909.
The Rockland hotel was completely
destroyed at Palmer Lake by fire
which followed a terrific explosion
heard two miles away. A gas leuk in

tempted to light the water heater, is
said to have caused the explosion. De
spite the fact that the force of the ex
plosion wrecked parts of the building,
the children were not seriously hurt,
and escaped with only slight burns.
The loss Is estimated at $40,000, a part
of which is covered by insurance.
Douglas Daugherty, a 12-year-old
son of Mr. and Mrs. Z. C. Daugherty
of Grand Junction, was drowned in
the Grand river. The body was recov
ered by members of the fire depart
ment and police with grappling hooks.
Douglas’ older brother, Edwin, made
a desperate attempt to save him.
About a dozen boys were swimming
nfter pears which were floating down
the river. Dougins went further than
the rest and was caught in an eddy
and sucked under.
Richard Forrest, a 70-year-old farm
er of the Eckert neighborhood, at Del
ta, lost his right foot when it became
caught in a steel cable connected with
a hay-loading machine which Mr. For
rest was operating on his farm. The
harness of the horses became en
tangled ami Mr. Forrest attempted to
straighten it, but frightened the ani
mals, which caused the loose cable to
become taut. His right foot was
caught in the cable and snnpped off.
The 3-year-ohl daughter of Virgil
Collins, a farmer living four miles
west of Ordway, was crushed to deatli
under a loaded hay wagon. The child
ran to the wagon to hand her father a
v.i’tten list of groceries wanted by
Mrs. Collins, just as her father started
the horses in motion. The girl stum
bled ami fell to the ground, one of the
rear wheels passing over her head.
The “Foster Combination” mine near
Red Cliff is to resume operations, and
the high-grade vein which has been
covered with water for years will be
uncovered and developed. The price of
silver and the accessibility of electric
power make possible operating the
mine at a profit.
Twelve horses were Incinerated
when a large livery stuble burned at
Grand Junction. Several automobile
shops were threatened for a time. The
loss was estimated at SIO,OOO.
While E. B. Hart of Denver, was
motoring with a young woman friend,
one mile south of the Golden road in
Jefferson county, a highwayman sud
denly Btopi>ed him at the point of a
revolver and then robbed the two mo
torists of a watch, a purse containing
sls and a diamond pin worth S3OO,
which was worn by the woman. Hart
reported the robbery to the police on
returning to Denver.
Farmers and feeders throughout the
state should begin to make a survey
of the amount of feed that there will
be this winter, learn all possible as to
what prices may be, and begin to look
around for feeders. On account of ad
verse feeding conditions last year, cat
tle feeders say that they will buy
cheaper this year than they did Inst
yar or they will not feed.
Preliminary estimates based upon
partial reports of county assessors in
dicate that the area devoted to grain
sorghums in the state this year is 313,-
000 acres, an increase of a little more
than 11 per cent. Partial reports of
county assessors also show a slight in
crease I li the acreage devofed to sweet
sorghums (canes).
More than $5,000 in premiums for
the exhibits and $2,000 for three dayt
