C. E. Nowels, who for many years lived in Renseelaer but more recently resided in Monticelfo, writes back to the Monticello Herald from Longmont, Colo., as follows: To renew wf subscription' to tho Herald I enclose P. O. order of SI.OO. We receive the Herald every Friday evening or Saturday morning and it is ! to us like a letler from home. We are well pleased with our new home and are certainly enjoying Colorado’s fine climate. We have Bunshine every day and at the same time we can see great banks of tnow on the highest mountains. Mrs. Nowel’s health is very much improved. She has not had any signs of asthma since we came here. This is an off year for Colorado, as the crops are not as good as In former years, but the fanners aie well-to-do and are better able to stand a partial crop failure than the eastern fanners. We have the largest canning factory here In the United States. It has Just staned up for the season and is now turning out canned peas at the . rate of 20,000 cans per hour. There are 4,000 acres of peas in this vicinity this year, which yield large profity this year, which yield large promts to the farmers. The sugar beet cnep is only fair, but the farmers are harvesting an average crop of alfalfa hay.
