London, Nov. "A special dispatch
from Washington asserts that the
American State Department recently
asked France, Germany and Russia to
give written assurances regarding the
preservation of the "open door" in
China, being dissatisfied with mere

Notes From Field and Farm. /.

The price of New Mexican lambs has
eased Off considerably within the last
two weeks since the SHOWS have come
to make thoughts of winter more for.
midable. AT Las Vegas and other
places on the Santa Fe some lots of
very fair lambs have been bought at
S15O, which is lower than such goods
have sold for three years.
David Kelley of Weld county went
to Espanola, New Mexico. last week
and received 1,5OO head of lambs from
+. w. Broad, purchased through the
Denver Sheep Commission Company.
The youngsters were chased over the
loading scales at S3.65, and as they
weighed an average of fifty-one
pounds, they cost the buyer close to 50
head laid down in Greeley.
That most pernicious of all pests, the
San Jose scale, has appeared in Weber
and other northern Utah counties to
such an alarming extent that the peo-
pie of other sections in the state have
become aroused and are petitiopinp
their county commissioners for the an
pointment of inspectors as provided by
law. 1t Is only n question of time
until the scale comes to Colorado. and
then we can look for real grief in our
orchards.
/ One Of the suburban school boards
near Denver in the Lakewood neigh
borhood has hit upon the plan of set
ting the school grounds of three acres
to trees and shrubbery. The plan is n
most laudable one, which could be i'm
itated by other boards with great cred
it. Too many kids are graduated from
school nowadays without being able
to distinguish the difference between
box elder and n gooseberry bush.
A good many lambs and sheep will
be fed in Bent county this winter on
aifaifa. Most of the lambs were raised
In the county, still some have been
