"It is my wish that this money
be loaned, both principal and inter-,
est, to poor men who desire to own
and farm land, giving the preference
in alt cases to owners of small areas,
who in the main do their own work.
I, therefore, direct my trustees to
loan this money in sunw not to ex
ceed $1,000 gK-nerally, Although in
special cases they may loan more,
never exceeding $2,000, however,
and in no case loaning at all except
with the understanding that the man
borrowings shall confine his stock
to one pure breed. That is, his hog!
must be eligible to registry in a pure
bred association, his cows, sheep,
chickens and other live stock also
eligible in their respective pure bred
associations. He must also rotate
his crops.
Interest 6 Per j Cent.
"This money shall ' be loaned at
6 per cent interest, payable annually
and one-tenth of the principal each
year until such principal and inter
est is fully repaid to said trustees.
"No man shall be eligible to re
ceive this money who does not prop
erly protect his tools, as I nave
everywhere noticed a great waste
because farmers do not properly
protect their implements."
Provision is -made that the trust
shall continue) years, but-that if
at any time the purpose to have
the state of, Colorado administer the
funds should be obrogated the estate
shall be turned over to some organ
ization that will carry out the pur
pose of the testator. ' '
