OF freight. They also agree to guarantee
the freight, relieving the grower OF all
responsibility on this score. The asso-
Citations have also been accorded the val

Messrs. Lyon and Coggins agree to give
bonds in the sum Of $4,000 to faithfully

and $4,000 bond will be furnished by
Mr.. Fort. The bonds will be in some

Rocky Ford Enterprise.

We hnye just delivered 10000 copies oil
n nicely illustrated 2O.page pamphlet to
the Business Mems club OF Rocky Ford,
descriptive OF that town and community.
Tho front page contains view Of the
new beet sugar factory rs it will appear
when completed; md the other illnstra.
tions are typical OF the resources OF the
county. Rocky Ford will make big
plunge to the front during the next year,
for the erection OF n million.dollar beet
sugar factory will not be without its
good results. The Business Mems club
places the population OF the town ut
1000 now, and asserts that it will ensily
double within the next year. Not only
Rocky Ford. but the entire county OF
Otero, will be greatly benefited by this

A Needed Financial Institution.

For tho further promotion o, tho
growth OF Rocky Ford home building
building and loan association has bccn
organized. II is known rs the Rocky
Ford Savings and Building association
and has capital stock Of S20O.OoO. di-
vidcd into 2,0O0 shares Of si00 each. The
incorporntors mud directors nrc: Warren
Mayo. @. J. Lack-y. II. S. Bcall. II. Van
Buskirk, W. @. Steele. L. J. Reifcl. II. A.
Dawley. A. Nicholes and A. l.. Gray.
The association is planned after those
in La Juntn which have been so success
ful for n pumber OF years. Ono OF tho
chief advantages which home organiza-
ton has over those which take in wide
scope OF country is the greatly reduced
expense OF management. This new nsso-
citation is deserving the active financial
support OF onr citizens. When tho plans
are fully perfected n public meeting will
be held to present the advantages and
claims OF the association. We predict
that it will be success from the start.

Advertising is n big thing in broad

simple, of bringing sugar factories to
Grand Junction and Rocky Ford. The

clear views as to Rocky Ford's being II
net for suckers its editor should come
down and interview our farmers. He
would find that their being enticed to the

kindest of acts. You can't get one per
cent of them to go back to their former
homes under any circumstances. A more

Lyon and Coggins the Lamar Sparks
says:
TT is to be hoped that the various MS.
sociatlons will act as unit, because il
they pull apart they will be at the mercy
or the commission men aud prices will

committee considered the question care.

to recommend what seemed to it the best
proposition: Now il every association

business this year for the grower"

Under direct legislation the people
have tho power to vote on any measure
when they desire to do 30. But 1t is not
necessary for them to exercise this power
in every case or even in many cnses. The
mere fact that the people have the power
to enforce compliance with their demands
will cause legislatures to enact laws
which they know the people want, md
will prevent them from passing laws to

One Of the most useful public institu-
tions maintained by the state OF Colorado
is the Home for Dependent and Ne.
elected Children. The object OF the
home is to care FOR children OF parents
who will not or cannot give them home.
1t is the constant aim Of the institution
to find homes for the children in good
families throughout the state. Parties
wishing to adopt children should write to
this home. Before child is confided to
any family a careful personal examina-
tion is made by the officials to be assured
OF the fitness Of the applicant to furnish
real home for the dependent child. 1t
was mission Of this kind which brought
the superintendent, II. W. Cowan, to

Senator SwInk Finds Fortune II
Bees.

Denver News.
Senator George W. Swink, the wnter-
melon king, hns bees in his bonnet. Not
senatorial bees, nor presidential bees nor
any political aspirations, but piain, every
day alfalfa pasture honey bees. He pro.
poses to supply the markets with train
inad OF honey this year, and expects to
outstrip his famous watermelon reputa.
tion by making more money on honey
than the fruit OF the vine yields. He will
not give mp his enviable place at the head
Of the watermelon industry OF America,
but will add laurels to his reputation by
establishing record for producing sweet
ness.
"I expect 10 make more money in
honey than watermelone from this time
forth" lie said yesterday. II have Just
ordered 800 colonies OF high bred bees
with pure bred italian queens. which will
give me 700 colonies. The new bees will
come from Texas or Illinois, according
to the first that are ready. The consingor
has apiaries III each state.
"Honey will make me more money thnn
melons-it is the best investment have
ever had, and hope to get out several
carloads OF honey this season."
LIS pEice pau LOT OuU colonies Dv SEN
ator Swink for 1925 per colony, delivered
Every one OF his 700 colonies is expected
to produce 100 pounds OF surplus honey,
making q crop Of 10000 pounds, worth
$1,000. There are supposed to be about
$500 bees in colony, which will make
the senator's holdings number n million
and three.quarters OF bees. This gigan-
tic army of food producers will feed on
the alfalfa and melon blossoms in the
Arkansas valley near Rocky Ford, re-
curing in an average season five square
miles OF pasturage. They will be scat
tered about different ranches where large
fields OF alfalfa grow, but Senator Swink
will get the honey. He has complete
arrangements for placing the bees, and
reports those now on hand in better con.
dition than they have ever been at this
season OF the year. The winter has been
an exceptionally good one for honey bees.
The honey averages 10 cents per pound
on the open markets OF the east, where
most OF it is shipped. The senator be.
lieves he has bonanza, and that belief
is based on practical experience. He
does not belong to the Beekeepers' asso.

Early Spring Management Of Bee..

can bs several causes. but the principal
on. IL that nature will not let I'll" occn-

which is n great loss Mt this time Of tn.

hear that bees do not swarm much
here. This consider is not very wrong
from what have been told. for. generally
speaking. people let their brood frames
become crowded with honey after the
first laying OF eggs. and as tho bees come
forth the queen is crowded out OF space.
aud the swarning is cut short and your
bees nrc running down under continue
