Check" will be the attraction at the

James 7. Keelly, whose reputation a.
fun maker is world wide. Every atten-

latest Now York song successes being
interpolated throughout the production.
A pleasing background is furnished by
the presence OF a number Of very pretty
girls. The eastern press 10 unanimous

DO YOU WANT A CANNERY ?
If You Do, You Must Be Alive to
Opportunities, or Other
Towns Will Secure One.

There ls an opportunity to secure a
canning factory for this city. Several
parties, and one in particular, have writ
ten to Messrs. Ramey Bros that if they
can secure the proper concessions here
they will erect a factory, omprehending
an outlay of probably 100000. The par
ties are desirous of coming to Grand
junction believing that this is the loca-
tion for factory in the Grand valley.
They woull expect that small
amount OF stock would be subscribed
by the citizens, in order to show their
good faith in helping the project along.
Sooner or later the farmers and the
fruit growers of the valley will be com
PEELED to realize the necessity OF a can
ming factory. Had they had such an
institution this year they would have
boon saved the necessity of dumping
their fruit into an overloaded market
and obtaining practically nothing for it. q.
Much fruit also that now rots Ga the
ground, because it cannot be shipped
could be utilized to excellent advantage
in a canning factory. Denver should be
starved little on the fruit question and
they would then become hungry for our
fruit but 80 long az they can get the
farmers to pull side ways from perfect
organization, SO long will they control
the situation and depress the price Of
fruit.
The parties who have been in com
munication with Messrs. Ramey Broth
ers, are now operating canneries near
Chicago and they are greatly impressed
with the situation in this valley for a
cannery. They think that without any
question OF doubt, the average price OF
fruit would be doubled with a eannsry
here.
1t is not question whether we need a
cannery. That has been demonstra ted
long ago. 1t is simply a question OF be-
coming united on the matter.
1t may be possible that the partee 6
who have agitatsd the question OF erect
ing factory, will be in the course Of a
few days and without any question what.
ever some effort should be- made looking
to holding public meeting for the dis
cushion of the question.
The Sentinel Is thoroughly interested
in the matter. The handling OF the
fruit was not nearly as successful this
year as it should have been. There was
q bounteous crop. There was a short
ago in many districts owing to the
drouth and. yet the fruit did not bring
nearly so much as it did last year.
There is plenty OF room for discovery
in the line OF shipping fruit and it's
handling aud also of securing a factory
here.

The New England building in the
Court of State and Foreign Buildings
at the Pan-American Exposition re-
minds one of fine old colonial man.
sion. Its broad piazzas and terraces
are typical of a New England home OF
the Revolutionary period. The design
is plain. yet rich. The building is 104
feet long by 81 feet wide. The walls
are covered with staff, painted to rep
resent red brick with white marble
trimmings. The shields of the six New
England States are placed in colors on
the front, and there is staff for each
state flag. On the ground floor is a
large reception hall, nearly At feet
square, supported by four columns, and
at the rear are colonial staircases
leading in two directions from the first
landing. On the right of the reception
hall are the bureau of information, the
courtroom and custodian'S quarters.
On the left are lounging and writing
rooms, from which beautiful view of
that section of the Exposition is possi-
BILE. In both these rooms large colonial
fireplaces are arranged, and the fur
nishings are all in accordance with the
colonial idea. The arrangement on
this floor is simple, thoroughly conven-
lent and withal decidedly in keeping
with what the building will be used
for. Up stairs there have been arrang-
ed six large rooms. Each New Eng
land State is allotted one, and it is used
for a rendezvous for people from that
particular state.
This building is located on street.
or path, connecting directly with the,
Grand Court and is in almost as cen-l
trail a position as the New York State
building. 1t is near the lake, in the
midst of over 10000 transplanted
shrubs and trees. The cost of the
New England building was $4,000.

motor. The device itself, however, in
which the separation of chaff and light
er impurities from seed is performed
through the action Of an air current,
consists of simple bent glass tube
connected with receiver.
Actual termination tests will be car
ried on at the Exposition as III the
Seed Laboratory at Washington. Com
mercial seeds win be counted, arrang-
ed In folded blue blotters, moistened
and placed in the standard germinat-
ing chamber, where they will be kept
at fixed temperatures favorable to ger
mination. Check termination tests,
such as are employed in conducting
tests with many kinds of seeds, will be
made in sterilized sand and soil In
greenhouse flats" The number ger
minating each day for definite period
in each of the tests will be noted, ana
the percentage of termination thus
computed.
MANY weeds the seeds of which are
most frequently found as impurities
in commercial seeds are represented
by living plants labeled with the
names by which they should be desig-
mated by English speaking people
wherever found. A unique feature is
an exhibit of seeds of many OF these
weeds and also several kinds or COM
mercial seeds arranged under 40 mag
nifying glasses accompanied by SEEDS
of the same kinds in open dishes, SO
that one may readily compare the mag
nified impression with the actual seed
and note differences and distinctive
characters that would not appear to
the unaided eye.
The results and Importance of seed
testing are graphically represented by
several groups of glass tubes contain
ing different kinds OF commerclai
seeds. These show the ordinary COM
mercial seed, the amount OF pure SEED
true to name in the sample ana the
amount of inert matter, such as chaH,
sticks and sand, the proportion or
weed seeds, and finally the amount OF
germinable seeds true to name, as de-
termined by test of similar sample ana
the proportion of waste. A compare
son of these last two indicates how
much is often paid for waste IN buy
ing INFESTED and poorly cleaned seeds.
Commercial seed growing Is shown

of the largest seed farms in CALIFORNIA,
where the production of garden seeds
has reached its highest development

TESTING THE SEEDS.
EXPERIMENTS TO BE MADE AT
THE PAN AMERICAN.
EXHIBIT OF THE DIVISION OF BOTANY
OF THE UNITED STATES DEPART
MENT OF AGRICULTURE.

The progressive agriculturist will
be interested in the exhibit Of the Di-
vision Of Botany of the United States
Department of Agriculture at the Pan
American Exposition, as it relates to
one of the first essentials of his call
ing. The exhibit will be restricted to
only one of the numerous lines of work
conducted by the Division of Botany
namely, pure seed investigations. 1t
will represent the work of the Seed
Laboratory at the Department of Agri-
culture, where samples of all seeds dis
tributed by the Government are now
carefully tested for purity, germina-
bility, and freedom from seeds Of nox-
ious weeds.
Thousands of samples from farmers
and seedsmen in all parts of the coun-
try are also tested at this laboratory.
The work is of special interest to farm
ers, gardeners, seedsmen and expert
ment station workers, to whom the sub
ject Of pure seeds Is Of vital impor-
lance.
The Seed Laboratory Of the Depart
ment Of Agriculture is well recognized
as the most important seed testing sta
ton in America. Its methods, stand
ards and most important pieces of ap-
paratus have been adopted for seed
testing at many of the State Expert
ment stations. The methods now in
use and many Of the instruments and
larger pieces of apparatus have been
devised and perfected by the men in
charge to meet the necessities of the
work.
On entering the space devoted to this
exhibit at the left of the main aisle
one sees first in glass case purity
separating table with magnifying glass,
forceps and other tools used by experts
in separating a sample of commercial
seed into its component parts of pure
seed, chaff, sand and other foreign
matter and weed seeds. Next is pair
of fine balances on which samples are
weighed, all percentages in seed purity
tests being based upon weight Be-
yond the scales is new combined
mixer and sampler. In this quantity
of seeds is quickly mixed and sample
of the desired amount delivered which
will fairly represent the entire lot. One
of the most attractive pieces Of appa-
ratus used in purity testing is the blast
impurity separator, which is also new
device. The air blast is furnished by a
modern blower driven by an electric

The Approach. The work of gathering
the exhibits is in progress. An active
campaign is being made throughout
the Island, and especially among the
planters, for exhibits. While careful
attention will be devoted to the collec
ton of exhibits to represent the manu-
featuring interests of Cuba, the bulk
of the exhibits will come from the
country and will be collected SO as to
serve as inducements to those with
limited capital who may desire to in
vest in Cuba. The exhibits will be
the best ever collected in the Island
and will entirely be representative of
