Irrigate the lands in the fall If there is
water. 1t is the right thing to do. The
best crops of potatoes this year have been
raised upon land treated in this way
The best crops of potatoes this year
should pay a profit Of from fifty to sew
enty-five dollars an acre. There will be
more money in potatoes than there has
ever been before. ~.
Since the harvest is pretty nearly over
in Colorado we can say with confidence
that this has not been so bad season
after all. The hay stacks are numerous
and the granaries are well filed.
In districts of France the wheat yield
has been brought up by scientific appE-
cation from eighteen bushels to the acre
to fifty and fifty five bushels. The same
that would do it in France would do it
here.
The last man to kick against deep
plowing and denounce it rs folly hsa
gone hence-or at least has not been
heard OF the present year. All conceae
that if they had teams they would 60
deep.
When an acre of land will pay profit
dollars it is worth that hundred dollar.
An acre well watered and well seeded to
alfalfa will do it in Colorado and it dosa
not matter in what part of the State it is
situated.
Weeds are too common in Colorado al
together. The man who buys water ta
irrigate can ill afford to waste it on wee
growth. Where weeds thrive somethias
better will thrive. In this matter as IA
some others, possession is nine -tenths o.
the law. Weeds hold their place oy
squatter sovereignty being the first On
the ground.
A farmer at Rocky Ford asks if it VII
do any harm to the plant if stock u
turned on to Craze young alfalfa the fi-as
season after it is seeded. We will rerl5
that it will. The plant is very delicato
until it has little age and has been car
back few times, when it becomes ve-
hardy and can scarcely be injured by
anything. When once rooted, give =
water and it will grow on to the end OF
time SO far as we know. There are field
of alfalfa in Mexico that have been plan
ted for two hundred years, SO near g.
history can be traced. We are famili;
with meadows there that were seedscl
long before Scott's army invaded thu
country in 1s46, that yields as much hss
per acre to day as they did in those wa
times.-Field and Farm.

Tho HORTICULTURE of Colorado.

The advance-sheet reports of the Cole
RADIO State horticultural and Forestry
Association for the years 1Ss9-9O hay
been issued. DR.. Alexander Shaw, sec
retary of the association, who compile
the statistics and information contained
in the work, expects to have it ready fo-
distribution in short time. There will
be 1000 copies of the work issued. The
book is an exhaustive treatise on the hor-
ticultural interests of the State and
treats the subjects relating to the indus
try at length. The various phazes of ir-
rigation are dwelt upon, the conclusion
arrived at in this connection being that
sub-irrigation is the true system. The
books most interesting features are arti-
cles on Colorado as Fruit-growing
State" and reports from various parts of
the State on the advance made in the in
dustry.
We are told that the apple and pear
are at home on both sides of the range,
and as a rule flourish from the extreme
north to the south. 1t is only about
eight years since the removal of the Ute
Indians from the western portion of the
State, but the demonstration Of the past
season in the fruit line brings the west
to the front rank in the production of
varieties not generally known in the east.
The Grand River valley is the most
noted for the production of the tender
varieties One orchard there contains
5000 peach trees, and is the largest in
/ Al
inent instances of success in fruit culture.
Judge FELTON, bears witness that he got
| 81 .361 81 from five and half acres of
ample trees, and 81 ,662.2 % from four and
half acres Of other fruits.
The cost OF the work done by this as
sociation is considerable, the total ex
penses OF the season being given as 81,
SIT. This is merely mentioned as {
specimen OF what Colorado can do in that
line, and it is considered good illustra
ton. Reports were received from a num-
Der of the counties regarding the amount
of irrigable lands in the State, but un-
fortunately the leading counties were
omitted. The result, however, SO far a.
it goes, is very satisfactory, and show.
that with proper storage system IL
vogue the amount Of land in the State
which can be placed under cultivation
Is very large. In this portion OF the re-
port there are figures given which go to
show that Colorado has more land arabic
and suitable for cultivation than any
State east OF the Mississippi river. It is
time to dispel the delusion about Colo
rado not being an agricultural, State,--

INJUNCTION SUIT.
To Place the Franco Texas Land Com
pany in the Hands of Receiver.
Land in Various Texas Counties, $4,000
Acres, InvOlved-Ths Case Compile
Gated and OF Great Interest.

| Special to the Gazette.
MOTHERHOOD, TEX. Aug l4.-Col .
George a. Knight, United States mar
shall for the Northern district of Texas -,
came over from Dallas this morning and
served an order of restraint on the Off
GERS of the Franco Texan land company
restraining them from in any way dispos-
ing of any of the lands, notes or other
assets of the company. The order was
issued by Judge Don A. Pardee, circuit
judge of the Federal court. on applica-
ton of James A. Allen TO have the COM
pany placed in the hands of q receiver.
The case is to be tried on the first Mon
day in October next in the Federal court
at Dallas to determine whether or not
the injunction will be made perpetual or
dissolved.
1t seems that that order is little too
late, as Mr.. George P. Levy, president
of the company has returned from
France where he had been in oonsulta-
ton with the principal stockholders of
the company for some TINA as to
whether or not the company should ac-
cept an offer to sell all their lands. He
returned on the first of the month, and
on the 4th of this month he made
deeds to the entire lot of the lands be-
longing to the company, amounting
to $50 900 acres of lands situated In
this, Palo Pinto, Stephens, Callahan
Shackelford, Jones, Taylor, Fisher,
Nolan and Mitchell counties; and as Mr..
Levy expressed IT, the company has
nothing for sale, and that the injunction
does not in the least modest the company.
This ls pretty big land sale, one of
the largest that has been made in Texas
for some time. From the best informa-
ton THE GAZETTE correspondent can get
as to the cause OF the injunction suit is
that the party bringing the suit is
the holder of some of the shares of
the company. and that some years ago
dividend was declared on all Of the stock
of the company, the by-laws of the
company provide that the stock shall be
presented within certain time after the
dividend shall have been declared, or
such dividend shall be forfeited. The
stock now held by Mr.. Allen then being
held by parties IN France, who consid-
cred 1t almost worthless and did not keep
up with the proceedings of the company
and did not present the stock within the
time prescribed by the by-iaws forfeited

sheaves were

sheaves OF the Christian soul sway to and

strikes the floor of the celestial garner it

the last struggle, until the voices of au-
gels and the voices of our departed kim
bred and the welcoming voice of God
shall send the harvest rolling into the eter-
nal triumph, while all up and down the
sky the cry is heard: "HarTest home!

paid on this stock since the time in
question, and since the stock has come
into the hands of Mr.. Alien he has de-
manded the payment of the dividend
which was forfeited, and on the refusal
OF payment of the same he has obtained
this temporary injunction. There is
hardly a question but that the injunction
will be dissolved on trial of the case.
Both the land sale and injunction suit are
very important as SO much is
involved in both and will
be of considerable interest to the people
of this part of the country, as the COM
pany has been IN existence nearly halt
of q century, and holding vast acres Of
Texas lands. The lands were purchased
by the Interstate railroad construction
