Mr. John H. Alley, one of the old-
time citizens of Colorado County, died
at his home at Ramsey Sunday morn-
ing at 6:15 o’clock, in the 70th year
of his age.
Mr Alley was born June 15. 1S56,
al the old Alley homestead on the
Colorado River below Alleyton. He
was the son of Abraham and Nancy
Alley, who came to Texas from Mis-
souri. his father being one of tlie orig-
inal colonists who received a grant
of land from DeWill's Colony. In
Mr. Alley’s possession at the time of
his death is u bill for $30. signed by
G. DeWitt, founder of DeWitt’s Col-
only. The bill .written in an ini- of
brown and on parchment paper, which
is now yellow with age. reads:
"No. 5 $20. Tills Bill will be re-
ceived as a cash payment lor Twenty
Dollars on account of fees for land
in DeWitt’s Colony River Guada-
lupe. District of Gonzales, 15th day
of October. 1825. G. DeWitt."
Mr. Alley’s father. Abraham Alley,
and his wife's brother, aecording to
history, were San Jacinto heroes, hav-
ing fought in that battle under Gen-
eral Sam Houston.
The deceased served in the Civil
War, being in college at Bastrop at
the breaking out of the war, when, in
his eighteenth year, he left school to
enlist in what was known as Henry
Johnson's Company, a part of Bates
regiment, with which lie served to
the end of the four years’ war.
He was married in 1867 to Miss
Josie Haley Wright. To this union two
i hildren were born. J. M. Alley of

$2.06 a hundred pounds; in 1921 the
loss was 95 cents a hundred. That
was due to the difference in the price
of pork and corn.
The Cost of Growing Corn.
Mark Thornburg, state secretary of
agriculture. told how Iowa farmers
were in a bad way economically. An-
swers to a questionnaire he had sent
out fixed the cost of producing corn
at 67 cents a bushel. It was selling
at from 50 to 60 cents.
F. R. Jones, examiner in charge of
liquidations for the Iowa banking de-
partment, said 16S banks had failed
in the last five years, 132 in the last
two years. Ninety per lent of the fail-
ures were due to "frozen" farm paper
More Farm Foreclosures Now.
There are more farm foreclosures
now in that section than there were
in the early period following the de-
flation, Rex E. Willard, farm ecno-
mist of the North Dakota agricultural
college. testified. At that time in
North Dakota there were 51 foreclos-
tires in 13 counties. In 1925 the aver-
age was 116 foreclosures in these
counties. Mr. Wilard said. There
were many instances where farm own-
ers ceased being owners and became
tenants on the same farms. It would
take the western farmer 16 to 15 years
to get back to normal, he said.

Mr. Pearson fed his corn crop to his
