I also enclose a short letter that if you could spare the space would like to see in print. Since I left good old Fulton county I have Been thirty-five of our states, have been on both coasts and spent some time in Canada, finally settling at Jules burg, Colo. I landed in Jules burg four years ago; tell the world I am here to stay. I left Fulton County with the intentions of finding a country that was perfect in every way, but decided there was no place on earth that would exactly fill the bill. My common Bense told me that if I did find such a place it would be so uncomfortably crowded that I couldn't live. So taking everything into considera tion I finally decided on Jules burg, Sedgwick County, Colora do. Julesburg is known as the gate way to Colorado. Located in the north-east corner of the state in the South Platte river valley. 376 miles we3t of Omaha and 107 miles north-east of Denver, on the main line of the Union Pa cific Railroad. It is also the junc tion of the branch running toDen- ver thereby making railroad fa cilities good. The climate is great; altitude is 3458 feet above sea level, ha3 new electric light and water works owned by the city, has a beautiful park, new public school building under con struction, high school building with all modern 'equipments. (Our schools are censidered the best in this part of the state), three Churches, the Methodist Congregational, and Catholic; most all of the lodge orders are represented, all streets are park ed with beautiful trees and in short it is a beautiful city. Julesburg is surrounded by an extra good farming and stock raising country. On each side of the platte river valley there is a range of hills that is ideal for stock raising as they are heavily coated with the different kinds of western grasses with good hay in the hill valleys. Then on both sides of the range of hills we find our level table lands. These lands are rapidly being broke up and improved into farms ranging from quarter section to a section. The large ranches have had their day and diversified farming has come to stay. There is nothing our land won't grow, but of course we have bet ter success with some things than others. Winter wheat is one of our best paying crops on account of our good market A few of our other successful grains are fall rye, spring wheat, spring rye, barley, oats, spelts, and corn. All forage crops can be raised successfully, including cane, kaffir corn, maise, field peas, millet etc. Tame grasses of all kinds are raised for hay, alfalfa of course is the leader. Our land sowed to fall wheat is more than paying for the land it grows on in one season. The following is a ' fact I have the statistics. Geo. McCone a South Table farmer, raised during the season of 1915, 150 acres of wheat, threshed 5315 ' bushels, or an average of 35.4 bushels per acre. Mr. McCone received as high as $1,40 per bushel for wheat that fall. There is not only one but hundreds that are doing just what Mr. McCone has done. Why pay enormous rents back east when opportunity is so great in the west? Would like to meet some of my Fulton county friends out here; am sure the change would do you good. I am, Very respectfully, W. R. Plessinger, Julesburg, Sedgwick County, Col orado. Change in Business. After thirty years engaged in Merchant Tailoring, I have closed out that line and added to the Gent's Furnishings a complete line of tobaccos, cigars, and gro ceries. Thanking my many friends for their past patronage, I ask for a continuance in my new line, assuring them of the same courteous treatment as here-to-fore. In Gents Furnish ing goods, you will find every thing up-to-date. In Groceries and Tobaccos, fresh and clean. Yours, respectfully Chas. B. Stevens. Teactcrs Elected. WELLS.
