Monticello Lady Favorably Impressed With Colorado.

Monticello Journal. Mrs. Alva Hanawalt came home yesterday afternoon from her four weeks visit with her brother in Colorado. She is very enthusiastic over Colorado and greatly enjoyed her trip. While there she met many Indiana people with whom she was acquainted. Among them were Mr. and Mrs. C. D. Nowels, Mr. and Mrs. Jackson, of Rensselaer, and Mr. arid Mrs. Paul Schultz, of this 'place. All crops in that section are grown by irrigation and the yield of fruit, grain and vegetables has been heavy this season. In many fields the wheat shocks were so thick that it was difficult to drive among them and the thrashing will not be through until late in December. One man exhibited a number of apples as samples of what the trees in his orchard produced, nine of them placed in a row made a yard in length. One man raised seventy odd varieties of fruit on a small farm. Prices of all farm products were higher than here.
