Welcome News to Horticultur;sts,

Daniel Brothers of Wheat Ridge has
discovered o means OF killing, in great
quantities, the moths that lay the eggs
which hatch into the rninous worm known
as the leaf roller. Last evening Mr..
Brothers placed out in his orchard some
six-quart milk pans, each containing
about an inch OF water and cider vinegar.
This morning at sunrise each OF the pans
was full OF dead moths, and each contain-
ed an average of a, 600 OF the pests. The
discovery OF Farmer Brothers will be well
come news to nll horticulturists. The
moths appear about the first Of July and
August and deposit their eggs upon all
parts OF the tree. These eggs appear in
little patches, not more than one.auarter
OF an inch in diameter, and the eggs are
covered with light, sticky substance
which protects them from the weather.
The larvae or worms hatch about the
time that the leaf-buds begin to open, and
commence to feed upon them and ms the
leaves grow larger, they roll them for
protection. The larvae complete their
growth about the last of June. change to
tho pupa stage in tho leaf, and come forth
us moths as early as July. There is but
one brood in the season. Cider vinegar
should be used because Of its strong an
pie odor. The pans should be placed out
at sunset, as the moths are a night insect.
jars half full of the mixture can be hung
up IN tAe fruit trees and be of equal ser
vice.

A Brief Visit to FairYlsw Orchard

Ono day Lost week, desiring to show
Rev. NJ. d. Hornbeck, OF Pueblo, some
Of the beauties OF the valley, we drove
out to Crowley s. Sons Fairview orchard
We found everything in band-box order.
Continuous clean culture hns given the
orchard beautiful appearance Some
portions Of the orchard were being irri-
gated-the water flowing through lath
boxes having an aperture Of one square
inch. BY their use a most uniform dis
tribution Of water is effected and the Ia.
Dor Of ofirrigation reduced to the minimum.
The apple trees have not nearly as much
fruit as last year but other crops were
abundant. One sight which attracted
admirinG attention was clump OF Wragg
cherry trees. They were small trees,
only three years old, but so heavily laden
as to seem an almost solid macs of red.
Mr.. Crowley says the Wragg loads in the
cherry family for profit.
Among the most luscious OF Mr.. Crow
ley's fruits is peaches. Tho samples We
fully tested cannot be cxcelled by any
thing California or New Jersey can pro-
duce.
Frank Crowley is this year deyotinp
himself largely to bees. The appear.
ance OF his face that afternoon indicated
that he had been managing the apiary in
manner to arouse the hostility Of at
least one OF his busy workers. He says
the season thus far has been remarkably
fine. The bees have stored phenome-
nally large amount Of honey for this date
in the season. He has already harvested
1,5OO pounds Of honey. Mr.. Crowley
has several colonies from which he has,
this season, taken 100 pounds each. Such
gathering OF honey made from the first
crop OF alfalfa bloom is unprecedented.
Ii the season continues favorable until
autumn, bee keepers will doubtless break
the record for honey production.
Among the trophies of peace which
adorn Mr.. Crowley's home are the dipIo.
ma and medal awarded by tho. Worlds
Columbian exhibition. These were given
Mr.. Crowley for superiority in FIVE vari.
ETY. OF oats and three varieties OF wheat

The Necessity For the Twin Lakes
Reservoir.


"The scarcity OF water in the Arkansas
valley this summer will probably be the
means o, the farmers OF that section SO.
curing some protection from future
drouths through tho next general ssem-
bly," said Hon. j. II. Crowley to Dem
yer Republican reporter last week.
"There is no more need for distress than
there would be for the citizens OF Dem
yer to be short OF water for domestic pur-
poses. Had tho proposition to make tho
Twin Lakes region, which is situated
about twelve miles south OF Leadville, a
state reservoir for storing waters in case
Of such an emergency rs we are at pres
ent facing became law during the
ninth general assembly the Arkansis
valley farmers would have been assured
Of a generous crop this season. But for
the benefit Of perhaps sixty rich families
who desire Twin Lakes to remain pleas
ure resort. 60,00 people living in tho val
Icy and the uplands are made to suffer
actual want.
The proposed state reservoir, together
with the system of reservoirs located at
Leadyille, Cottonwood and other points
would practically insure tho farmers OF
this section of Colorado water during the
whole Of the irrignting season. The plan

pas whom needed, to be distributed to tho
newer bitches according to their capaci.
ty, necessity and priority. This would
enable every farmer in the valley to have
water for his crops when today many arc
without water for domestic purposes.
The farmer wonld not be getting tho en-
tire benefit OF these flood and winter wa
ters for tho state itself has many thou
sand acres of land that would be greatly
enhanced in value by this system OF stor-
ing waters.
Tho farmers OF my district deserve a
great deal of credit for the remarkable
way that they have developed the agri-
cultural lands and by their efforts the
states land hus increased in value from
almost nothing to from $40 to 800 per
acre. Mind you, all Of this land belong
ing to the state is non-taxable and tho
burden Of expenses has been kept up by
the farmers.
In view of these facts the Arkansas
valley farmers think that their request is
but fair and just and they will work hard
to secure an appropriation, which will be
a gain for the state rather than a loss,
and will insure them livelihood"

no evil effects. It is easy to take as we'll
as pleasing to the taste. Anyone can do
it. 1t is simply brenthed. Besides, its
good effects are permanent. Instead of
stimulants and narcotics, often few in
