OF these ringing sermons was made when
New York had Its big Columbian celebra-

The Third National Irrigation Congress.

The August number OF the Irrigation
Age is one of the most interesting and
handsome issues Of that handsome pub
location. It is largely devoted to the
Third National Irrigation Congress-,
which meets at Denver, Sept. 3rd, and
which will spend Thursday the 9Th, in
Rocky Ford studying our irrigation and
eating watermelons. From the Ages ex-
tensive article we make the following ex-
tract:
''rhe Third National Irrigation Con-
gress, which will assemble at Denver.
September 3rd, is an event OF extraordi-
where in this number of The Age large
space is devoted to the plans of the con-
gress. The article should be carefully
read by all friends of irrigation, and each
individual should mako up his mind to
do his part in rendering the event success
full in the highest degree. There is am
pie reason for the prediction that the
Denver convention will surpass in inter
est and importance all previous bodies OF
that kind. The time has come when GER
tain things must he settled. Ii we have

less the Denver meeting fail entirely in

THE RUSSIAN THISTLE.
During its Growing Season the Pest
Is Easily Destroyed.

The plant is an annual and is easily
killed at any time during the growing
seasan. 1t produces no seed before the
middle Of August or the first of Septem-
Der, and the seed is short lived. For any
methods to be available, two principles
must be adhered to rigidly: First, no
Russian hustle must be allowed to pro-
duce seed; second, there must be con-
certed action throughout the infested
that may be tried are the following:
Sow wheat and other spring crops as
early as possible on well-prepared ground
so that the crop may get vigorous
growth and shade the ground before the
weed seeds germinate. Gut the wheat
early and pillow the ground as soon as
possible afterward. If the land cannot
be plowed, NOV the stubble before the
seeds mature. Let 1t dry few days,
then burn thoroughly. For crops like
corn, potatoes. beets, etc, cultivate thor
oughly and as late as possible; the extra
cultivation will produce better crop and
and get rid of the weeds. The same is
true OF gardens, truck patches, etc. How
ever, il this work is not persisted in, and
no cultivation is given after the middle
OF July, enormous numbers OF tlistles
will soon appear and produce great guam
titles Of seed.
Summer fallow is also recommended,
and if cultivation is given frequently so
that no thistles will mature, this plan will
probably be of value.
Sheep are very fond of the Russian
thistle while it is yet tender and by pas
turing them on the young plants they
may be kept down. The Importance OF
securing clean grain cannot be too strong
ly emphasized. As the seed OF the thistle
is very light, there is no trouble in seper-
ating it from that OF heavier grain seed,
as wheat, rye, barley, oats. fax, timothy.
clover, etc. However. with millet and
the lighter grass seeds It is more difficult
erly-adjusted tanning mill will usually
take it out.

Mrs. Hoffman in Rocky Ford.

Mrs. Clara Hoffman spoke to fair
audience at the NJ. E. church Wednesday
evening August Sth. She is a most log
ican and forcible speaker and strikes the
heaviest of blows for the cause she has
espoused.
Mrs. Hoffman said that it was patent
to the most superficial observer that a
condition exists to-day that must have a
serious cause. In 1880 only twenty
farmers out Of 100 were renters; but in
1890 renting farmers had increased to 30
in 100. In 1880, ten bushels of wheat
were raised per capita, and it sold at 95
cents a bushel; in 1880 it had gone down
to six and one-half bushels per capita,
selling at Is cents per -bushel. In the
decade from 1880 to 1890 the population
increased 25 per cent; the wealth 80 per
cent, and the private mortgage indebted
ness 156 per cent. Colorado, with pop
ulation OF 100000, has a private mortgage
Indebtedness of $s5,OOO,0OO. At the very
head and front of the causes for these
conditions Mrs Hoffman places the liquor
States was S1,20O.0OO,OO0 in 1892, she
said. while the sum spent for bread and
meat was only $85O,OOO.OO0. Every city
in the United States was under misrule.
Fifty per cent of insanity and 80 per cent
of the crime were directly traceable to
liquor.
She scored.the national banking system
as nothing less than robbery of the people,
beside which italian brigandage was
childlike and bland.
She read from speech of James g.
Blaine, made in 1886, in which he de-
nounced the national banking system as
a "devilish scheme devised to rob the
people"
The remedy for all governmental evils
she declared to be christianity applied to
politics and business.
In conclusion she presented the plat
form OF the Prohibition party as infinitely
better than that OF either of the other
three parties. In addition to prohibition
it declares for woman suffrage; for gold
silver and paper money, the latter issued
by the government, and in sufficient
quantity TO give full opportunity for the
employm mt II lato for tariff only as a
defense against foreign governments
which bar out our products; railroads
and telegraphs to be controlled by the
the government in the interest OF the
people; foreign emigration restricted and
the period of residence for naturalization
extended.
At the close of the address league
was organized for the discussion of polit-
ical questions, with Geo. H. Taylor as
President.

The Reason All Strikes are Unpopular

President Debs of the American Rail
way Union declares that this strike has
developed the fact that the sentiment Of
the people of this country is against
strikers. He ought to have known this
before, says the Trinidad News. When
he calls to mind the other important facts
than only about one in twenty of the lab
oring men Of the nation is railroad en-
ploye, and that not one in hundred of
the men Of this country has any personal
connection with the roads, and no per-
sonal interest in the controversies which
arise and yet all are inoommoded, bust
ness is stopped, thousandsiare thrown out
Of employment and the established order
Of things deranged generally, causing
loss of hundreds of thousands of dollars
to the people, he ought to know that
while human nature remains as it is now
constituted, it is not to be expected that
the people of the country will not have a
horror Of strikes. Very many who ardent
ly desire the well being of all laboring
men, yet believe there can be devised
better methods Of adjusting difficulties
than by "a resort to the ruinous strike.
It is to be hoped that both employers and
may be wise enough to settle
future controversies without causing such
a destruction Of Life and property as we
have lately seen.

There is no Waste Land Under Ditch.

On many farms in Otero county are
spots OF spots OF land, Of greater or less
extent, which are Of a swampy nature
and have appearances of the presence Of
alkaG. Most of these tracts have been
allowed to go idle from lack Of informa-
ton as to their value for farming pur-
poses. A sample Of the mangle wurtzle
beet brought us by d. B. Deeter, of this
vicinity, shows that there lDed not be q
square foot of idle land in the Arkansas
valley which is under ditch. The two
specimensin our office weigh 12X pounds
and their fellows which are yet in the
ground have two and half months to
grow. The land on which they were
grown is so swampy that it could not be
cultivated with horse. Mr.. Deeter is
confident that he can raise 20 tons of the
mangle wurtzells to the acre on land
which has been considered worthless.
These beeta make splendid feed for cows
and hogs and every farmer should raise
them literally. Let every alkali spot on
the farm, no matter how unpromising it
looks, be planted with this variety of
beet. Do this one year and ever there
after the mangle wurtzell will be one of
your regular crops.

WIN. Auckland, of Olney, has the
largest crop of wheat ever raised in Otero
county, and will next week begin thresh-
ing. He estimates that the whole 27O
acres harvested will average % bushels
per acre, making total Of 6,2l0 bushels.
Mr.. Auckland will feed his wheat to his
hogs and horses, and sell his corn and
oats-the latter next spring when he ex-
poets to get fancy price for it. The
feeding Of wheat to horses has been prao.
with success, feeding, however. but once
day. Mr.. Auckland has large field Of
corn which is admired by all who pass
by, and he says the credit Of its thrifty
condition is due largely to his efficient
helpers, VIM. Willhauser, A. @. Hit and

A Golden Opportunity.

The Lamar Sparks, in an article urging
that an exhibit of Prowers county pro-
ducts be sent to the Rocky Ford Fair
truthfully says:
"The attention of farmers living in the
drouth.striken sections has been turned
to the irrigated area, and many of them
will visit the Ford to see what the valley
offers. Besides the regular crowd Of Wis
itors the fair will be honored by the pres
ence OF the delegates to the national
irrigation congress, who will attend in a
body. Such a golden opportunity to ad-
advertise Prowers county should not be
permitted to pass, especially when we
have such splendid crops of all kinds to
display"
