the bulletin referred to would be de-
stroyed and new lot printed con tanning
the proper corrections as soon as the
Colorado State Horticultural Society
could forward the list Of varieties Of
fruits grown in the state.
This is very gratifying to us, as it is
the first instance known where govern
ment document has been suppressed on
account Of the errors it contains and
shows the power OF a well conducted
paper when it reaches out to prevent in

In the face OF such facts as these We find
occasional instances where business men
say that ''it does not pay to advertise

papers because there isn't anything in
them worth reading" but in this locality
those people are becoming scarcer every
