sss.r sees is v.issy.

The Rocky Ford Enterprise has
espoused the cause Of those who
think the Arkansas valley has too
many good things for this to be an
opportune time for growing sugar
beets. It thinks with melons, fruit
and alfalfa the farmers have no need
to turn their attention to other crops.
Last week, however. the Enterprise
prints letter from d. v. Burrel,
which goes straight to the point and
presents the Importance Of diversity
Of crops. His argument : - follows;
81. Let one-half the melon grow
ers have market for beets and they
will be willing to hand over the melon
business TO the other half. This will
give the melon growers a chance to
make some money.
'.2. Let three-fourths Of the truck
growers quit and grow beets. This
will give the remaining truck growers
. chance.
'.3. Let the ex-melon growers and
the ex-truck growers be reinforced
by about 100 Of our farmers who are
too far out to grow melons or truck
and they can easily handle 1000
acres Of sugar beets.
This acreage would supply fac
tory of 500 tons capacity daily and
such q factory would pay for the
beets at least $3.50, 900 and for labor
in the factory 100000.
This would give the beet growers
q chance to make some money.
IT we don't get factory it's our
fault.

New Light on Spraying.

At a recent farmers convention,
Prof. Burrill Of the University Of
Illinois, gave to his hearers a piece
of information that he said had not
yet got into the books. 1t was rela-
tive TO the first spraying Of fruit and
trees for fungous diseases. 1t has
been believed that in the case of
most of these pests the spores lived
over on the twigs of the trees 1t
was advised to spray before the
blossoms were open, for the purpose
Of killing these colonies of spores.
Fruit raisers have been religiously
carrying out instructions in this re-
gard and the experiment stations
have been sending out spraying
calendars year by year in which the
fruit raiser is advised to spray before
the opening Of the blossoms. But
now il has been found that the thsc-y
Of the spores living over on the twigs
is erroneous. The spores live over
on the leaves that fall to the ground
and lie there till spring. With the
first breath Of spring these spores
ripen sufficiently TO aoat in the air,
and as soon as the young leaf begins
to expand they find lodgment there
and begin their life work. It is
therefore useless to spray at the
earlier time indicated in most Of our
books on spraying. It also adds
greatly to his hopes, for II the spores
live over on the dead leaves the
proper way to get rid Of them is TO
destroy the leaves. This may be
done by clean cultivation, plowing
under the leaves that escape the
burning. .-Kansas Farmer.

down from camp. He tried it lxst
Friday evening and as result it re-
quired nine stitches to put his nose
back where nature originally located
it, and nine more to close up gap in
the side of his face and neck. He is
minus one tooth, his tongue is split
and otherwise he is as sore as some
of the politicians who got tumble

1t is not hard to realize how he
received the bruising he did, but it is
not easily understood how he escaped
with as few serious injuries and no
broken bones In the first place Mr..
White has an averdupois of about 200
pounds. Then the difference in ele-
vation between the city and the min
ing camp is 100 feet, with no relief
except two precipitous gulches. which

Mr.. White did not succeed in reaching
the first gulch. He had no more
than gained his mount before the
whee, shot down the not too smooth
mountain road like a toboggan. and
in less time than it takes to tell it,
was spinning at lightning speed. So
rapidly did the pedals revolve that
the riders feet soon became useless
appendages, and the big man was in
the hands of Fate and at the mercy of
his wheel.
Realizing that to continue down the
hill meant severe injuries If not death,
Mr.. White directed the bicycle from
the road, intending by making q
slight ascent to bring it to a stop.
But he was unfortunate in selecting a
place and as the bike swerved around
in response to the handle bars the
front wheel struck a small gully
washed out at the roadside. A Sec
ond later Mr.. White picked himself
up, bruised and bleeding, and wended
his way back to camp. He was
brought to town as soon as possible.

ent he is doing well. although it is a
hard matter for good healthy man
