GENERAL COLORADO NEWS.
, Preliminary reports on agricu 1
ture now being issuej by the federa'
census bureau and tabulated by th
State Immigration Department for i
. purposes of comparison with reports*
j submitted by county assessors show
! approximately the same niagnitude
| development in all branches of far-1
ming in Colorado since 1910 as have
been previously shown by the re
ports of assessors. Partial reports
from six counties show an exception
ally large increase in the value of
arm property this year over 1910. a
very considerable -increase in the ac
reage of improved farm kind and a
substantial increase in the number of
•'arms operated by tenants. The
.ounties from which reports have
been obtained are Phillips, Baca,
Clear Creek, Douglas, Alamosa and
Moffat. Baca county makes the
most remarkable showing of any
county so far reported and undoub
tedly will show greater agricultural
levelopment when all reports are In
• ban an;- eo iu*y in the stat * elnfe
its population reports are already
■omnlete mv s’ ow a larger increase
in the last ten years than any other
I county. Baca county reports this
year farm land and buildings valued
rat $12,51 1,397 compared with $1,-
I o90,8G4 in 1910, an increase of 1,040
• percent. It has 380,974 acres of
! improved land in farms this year
i compared with 34,953 acres in 1910,
in Increase of 990 percent. It has
192 farms operated by tenants this
- vear, compared with 16 in 1910.
Phillips county also makes an excel
lent showing, with an Increase of
97.9 percent in the value of farm
property and 12 9.1 percent In acre
ige of improved farm land. I
diowa a large increase in acreage of
vheat In cultivation, having 7G.G18
acres Reported for last year, com
#ared with 14,000 acres in 1909
Ouoglas county shows an increase of
130.5 percent in value of farm prop
erty and 17.2 porcent in acreage of
mproved farm lunds. It is one of
ihe few counties In the state having
ewer tenant farmers this year than
n 1910, huvlng 9 8 this year, com
mrod with 102 ten years ago. Clear
Creek County, although It boasts hut
ittle agriculture, shows consider
tble development since 1910. The
value of Its farm property has iq
reased 130.5 percent in the pa: t
on years and its acreage of im
•roved farm land has increased 17.
;ercent. Acreage devoted to crops
lowever, has decreased In most cu.i
les. In Moffat and Alamosa conn
•ies no comparisons are possible
ince both these counties were or
, ganized since 1910. Moffat coun
ty was created from a part of Routt
county in 1911, reports 1,023 farms
his year, compared with only 1,-
113 reported by Routt county ten
■ ears ago, and 4G 1,777 acres in farm
om pared with only 330,233 acres
In Routt county in 1910.

PROCLAMATION
INVOLVES WORK
It has been customary in recent
cars for the Department of State to
lraft each Thanksgiving proclama
tion.
After the draft has been O. K.'d by
he President It Is handed to the State
lepartment’s expert penman, who in
his copper-plate ehlrography writes it
upon n large sheet of excellent parch
ment, which is sent to the President
for his signature, and then returned
to the State department to be signed
by the secretary of state. Next !!
must be impressed with the great seal
of the United States, whose custodian
will refuse to place it even upon so
important a document unless author
ized to do so by o formal warrant
signed by the President, for the ust
of the great seal or the possession of
nn impression thereof without the
Chief Executive’s written authority is
a grave offense, punishable by law
Indeed, the great seal—which was
made by a Jeweler at a cost of SIO.CMX)
and which Is kept locked in a great
rosewood case—ls the most sacred In
strument used by the government.
Having had hallowed cipher of
the republic pressed Into It, the new
Thanksgiving proclamation is filed
away In the State department
archives, luter to he bound in its
chronological order, with other accu
mulated proclamations.
Uncle Sum takes all of these tech
nical pains merely to retain the hand
somely written proclamation as Ids
own souvenir. But before the Instru
ment has been filed away a typewrit
ten copy Is sent to the State depart
ment’s officiul printer, who has a shop
of bis own In the basement of our for
eign olliee. Ills printed copies are
given to the newspapers or to anyone
who wishes.
Each of the state governors must
also be sent on exact copy, but the de
partment's strict code of etiquette de
mands that these copies must not he
printed. They ore typewritten and
signed by the President’s nnd secre
tary of state’s own hands. Each gov
ernor then seconds this move of the
President in appointing the annual
feast day of thanks and prayer and,
In their turn, the mayors of cities now
generally second the move of their
governors. By such Indirect means
does the prompting of the nation’s
thanks theoretically reach the people,
who actually receive it directly from
the President himself through that
eliminator of red-tape delays—the
hilly newspaper. In some localities
the bishops receive the proclamation
from the governors and hand it down
In circular form to the lesser clergy,
who read It from their pulpits upon
the Sabbath following Its issuance. In
parts of New England it is still the
•ustom to read the proclamation from
the pulpit on two successive Sundays.
These infinite pains are taken, de
spite tho fact that there Is nothing In
the federal statute authorizing a Pres
Ident to set apart such a holy day.
But the proclamations make the holi
day legal.
Right Thanksgiving Spirit.
We once saw a little curd tacked up
before the eyes of a busy man. He
could see it every time he raised his
eyes from his desk. Ou It he had writ
ten: “Get your pleasure out of your
work or you will never know what
pleasure is.’’ That attitude will help
us to get the right Thanksgiving spirit
into our hearts. Let’s forget that we
have pictured happiness in terms of
idleness and sloth. It’s Just the other
way. This Thanksgiving day will be a
good time to get the new angle of vi
sion.—Farmers’ Guido.
Carry Thanksgiving Cheer.
Carry a little Thanksgiving cheer in
to some home less fortunate than your
own between now and Thanksgiving.
Besides the circle of relatives and inti
mate friends who are to be your guests
an Thanksgiving, invite some lonely
girl, too far from home to think of
returning to the family festival. Make
l happy Thanksgiving for others aud
you will not lack gluducss.
