LETTERS FROM OUR READERS

We Would Be Glad to Get Some of It. West Cliff, Colo., Aug. 5, ’l4. Editor Democrat:—Ah I am a reader of your paper, I must write you about our country in Colorado. I read in The Democrat that it is very dry out your way. I wish you could have had som6 of the rain that we have had here. It started to rain the first of July and has rained almost continuously since. I hope it will let up now as farmers must start to put up their hay; All the crops are looking fine. Sunday and Monday we had a rain all through the valley, with some hail Monday, but it did not harm the crops. We had a lot of water, however, the roads being covered and the creeks very high. I wish you folks had some of our surplus rain, as we do not need any more this year. • Land sells here from SSO to $75 per acre. We raise alfalfa, timothy, oats, barley, wheat, potatoes, etc. Very truly, G. LANGE.
