SCIENTIFIC AGRICULTURE,

Until within quite recent years
nothing could exceed the contempt
of the average farmer for the sci
entitic "agriculturist," who knew
everything theoretically and moth
ing practically. More recently
however, largely through the in
huence of the experimental sta
tions established by the depart
ment of agriculture, and the prac-
tical information that was slowly
but surely ditfused through them,
the scientific farmer has been ris-
ing in reputation. Nowadays, the
practical man who is also trained
expert in soils, methods of culture
and so on, can command a salary
higher than men can make in mos
other lines of work, $1,000 a year
being common.
The trouble at present, accord.
ing to Secretary Wilson, is that
such men are so scarce that they
are all snapped up by associations
that can pay big salaries. Says the
secretary: "An evolution is going
on in agriculture. What the
chemist knows, what the bacteriol-
ogist knows, what the soil physic
list knows, what the plant patholo-
gist knows, is all being centered
in one student, and more men fa-
miliar with these sciences also
have practice. The agricultural
colleges and experiment stations
are producing this class of men in
all the states. Realizing that there
is no university where graduates
along these lines can continue
work, / have been coaxing con-
gress to permit me to bring few
OF these young men here and give

Will Hunt for Ore.

A number of prospectors from
this Town and surrounding camps
will, as soon as the snow disap-
pears, do great deal of prospect
ing in the Bassick region and on
the Bacca land grant. Many
promising prospects have been
discovered and operations only
ceased on account of the winter
season. Frank Pavitte, formerly
of the Merchants Cafe has opered
up what promises to be fine body
of medium grade shipping ore on
the Murphey lease located at
Bonanza, this state. This lease
was operated by S. j. Tanner and
associates. The character of ore
is oxide of lead. The tunnel was
driven in l76 feet, but was aband-
oned, they not having discovered
ore IN sufficient qualities.

PYkE ON THE JUMP.
Increased Activity in New Camp
in San Luis Valley.

A. Q Kinney returned yester-
day from two weeks trip in San
Luis valley taking in the mining
camp of Pyke and other new
places. Arthur says the entire
San Luis valley is looking up and
the prospects are that big rush of
people will go there next summer.
The past winter has been quiet
and owing to the heavy storms in
many places prospecting was call
ed off, but now that the snow and
cold of winter is lessening renewed
activity is again evidenced,
The Denver & Rio Grande rail
road company has completed it's
grade for the new road from Mof
fat to Crestone with the exception
of two miles. Ties and steel are
expected to be laid in n very short
time. The road, when completed
will be about twenty miles long
In building the road there was no
occasion for much blasting.
When the new spur is finished
it will be only necessary to haul
the ore by wagon about seven
miles, thereby greatly diminishing
the actual transportation rates and
which will put the ore on bigger
paying basis. The quality of the
ore is average low grade, although
some of 1T runs very high in value.
Mining is being done all along the
Sangre de Christie range.
A carload of ore will be shipped
from the Harper property some
time this week 1t goes to the
smelter at Pueblo.

RURAL MAIL DELIVERY.

The rural free delivery system,
so important to farmers, is soon to
be greatly extended, about 1000
new routes being planned to go
into operation during the coming
fiscal year Farmers generally do
not seem TO understand that it is
comparatively an easy matter to
secure one of these routes, or the
applications would be in excess of
the power to grant, instead of be-
ing behind it, as they are now.
Some communities actually seem
reluctant to have their mail deliv-
cred at their doors. Part of this
reluctance is no doubt due to the
fact that the fourth-class postmas-
tiers who might be replaced by ru-
raj free delivery want to hold on to
their places, and are influencing
their members of congress against
the installation of the service, but
most of it must be due to ignor-
ance that it can be had.
1t may be said that any hundred
families living along road not
more than twenty miles long, or in
n district with about twenty miles
of service, can have free delivery
if they will ask for it, The central
