his ability to represent the interests oi

has had no selfish purposes to serve. but
has given his entire energies TO the inter-

does not shine as an orator, but is the

-Remember that the Fairs at Rocky
Ford have done much to advertise the
unequalled resources OF the Arkansas
Valley. Let every farmer commence
this early to plan for an exhibit at the
next Fair. In view Of the growth and
development Of this portion Of the valley
during the past year the coming Fair
promises to be on q far moro extensive
scale than any that have preceded It.
The great excellence Of the exhibits Of
our Fairs in the past should not only be
maintained but constantly improved.
This can be done only by the coopera-
ton OF our enterprising and progressive
farmers.

Publish the Ordinances for Publicity

Publish the Ordinances for Publicity.
The following communication was
presented at recent meeting Of the
Town Council:
To tho Mayor and Town Council:
GKNrIEMEN-I notice that Of late you
have directed that all ordinances be pub
lished in the Republican. I would ask
that this policy be changed and the En-.
terprise given some patronage, for the
following reasons: ..
The Enterprise has more than double
the circulation of the Republican, which
fact gives the ordinances deserved pub
licity not secured by publishing in the
latter paper.
The type in which the Enterprise sets
legals is smaller than that used by the
Republican for the ordinances, which
will make the cost to the town less.
When consideration is given the large,
circulation Of the Enterprise and the re.
duced cost Of the publication Of the or.
dinances, I think that Justice to the pub.
lie requires that the ordinances be pub
lished in the Enterprise. Partisian
telling should not interfere with public
interests in matter of this kind.
Trusting that you will see the Justice
OF this position and direct that future
ordinances be published in the Enter
prise I am
Yours Truly,
d. w. BARKIEY
The Statute provides the following price
for the publication of legal advertise.
ments: For first insertion 75 cents ne,
100 words. For each subsequent inser-
ton 90 cents per 100 words. Such ad.
advertisements are most generally set in
ncnpariel type, 100 words of which will
average an inch Of space column width,
Hence the custom prevails in newspaper
offices to measure all legals and charge
BY the inch instead Of counting the
words. This custom of measuring in.
stead Of counting words was followed BY
the Republican In making out its bill for
the publication of tho official ballot Of
the late election, only the mistake was
made Of charging Is cents per square
inch instead Of 75 cents per inch Of
oolumn-width matter, which made the
Republicans bill more than double the
legal rate.

that the next annual meeting Of the as
socintion be held at La Junta.
This was followed by very able and
instructive talk by Col. Lockhart in re-
gard to the proper method Of making alf-
alfa hay: As frequently handled rs per-
cent Of the nutrient qualities are Lost,
The less handling the better. EARLY cut
ting preferable. just "a the plant be-
gins to bloom is the best time to cut. Il
is better to err on the side Of early cut.
ting than late. When in the bloom alf-
alta forms wood rapidly. When proper
ly cured its value is ~ times that Of
timothy hay. We have written Col.
Lockhart for full report Of his remarks
but no reply has been received up to the
time OF going to press. We hope to have
column Of valuable alfalfa information
from him for next weeks Enterprise.l
F. M. Weiland said that early cutting
was best but that il cut too soon there
was danger Of burning in the stack.

| Mr.. Bent said that the former rate was
~ 40, but that in view of the probability
of a large business the Santa Fe had
made the IS rate which applied to all sta.
tions from Dodge City to Fowler. The
rate Is not likely to be advanced.
Hon. W. N. Randall had trouble with
hay damaging in the stack, the wind
blowing Oh the tops. II stacks arc
topped ont with green hay as soon as
wilted this damage will be largely pre-
vented. Kains soon after stacking caused
injury. Holbrook farmers will cut while
grass is in the bloom.
Jessie Patterson said that il staeks
were made round and covered WITH
hoods there would be no waste hay,
Judge Parker said that study Of the
Chicago markets for the past 10 years
would show that the best hay did not
bring an average Of over $40 per ton.
d: NJ. Fosdick, Jr., said that it was yet
all theory as TO the profits Of shipping
hay to Chicago. The country adjacent
to Chicago raises hay on land worth s125
per acre. We can certainly raise hay on
$50 land and ship 1000 miles and com.
pete with the east when we can raise
from to 2 tons per acre.
Mr.. Randall stated he would rathe,
raise alfalfa at % ton in the stack than
any other crop produced in Colorado.
Judge Parker said that timothy hay
had frequently sold at 81 per ton in tbs
Chicago stock yards.
F. M. Weiland said thut $l2 per ton
could be got for alfalfa at Tyler, Texas
The rate to Galveston and intermediate
points is s6 per ton.
