Weekly Crop Bulletin.

Denver, Colo, July ], l9O2.-The
past week has been warmer than the
seasona! average in San Louis Park,
practically normal on the western
slope and over the greater part of the
eastern foot-hill region, and about or
4 degrees below normal in the north
ern and eastern border counties. High
Temperatures were general during the
oLening days but for the remainder of
the week the maximum, or day tenn
peratures, were considerably lower
than usual. The precipitation has
been coplous east of the mountains
except in the south-central section.
None was reported from San Louis
Park and only light showers from the
western counties. Snow fell during
the closiug days IN the central mount
ain region. In the districts favored by
rain the condition Of crops has been
materially improved, but the situation
is still discouragng in the south-cen-
tral counties. Wheat and oats are
somewhat improved, but in few To-
calities the rains came too late. IIar-
vesting Of wheat is in progress in the
lower Arkansas valley, and good
yield is reported Potatoes, corn and
gardens are doing we'll and the fruit
outlook remains favorable. There has
been some improvement in the water
supply east of the mountains but the
flow in the small streams of the west
ern slope is diminishing rapidly. Dur
ing the closing days hail storms occur
red in many localities along the east
ern slope, particularly in the north
central section, in parts Of which much
damage to fruit and other crops was
reported.

in time to attend the funeral
When J II. Law received the first
notice of his brothers. death he feared
that the latter had taken his owa life.
During Il recent visit to relatives in
this vicinity William had shown signs
of Il diseased mind. He spoke fre-
qucntly to his brother James about
being pursued by mob and remarked
that he would kill the first person who
attacked him. However, the day he
returned to his home in Elyria, which
was Saturday evening, June 81, he
seemed quite rational and his wife and
other relatives thought that he would
recover his health in short time
That they were sadly mistaken was
evidenced by. the terrible tragedy
that followed few days later.

Do People Like to Re Worked?

Said a prominent citizen of JuleSburg
to The Grit-Advocate editor few
days since: at seems to me that our
people like to be worked out of their
good money, judging from the manner
in which they open their hearts and
pocketbooks to every travelling agent
that visits the town. 1t matters not
that they have never seen the man
before, nor that they know absolutely
nothing about his integrity, the strang-
er who approaches them on almost
any kind of proposition-be it of Il
business. scientific or religious nature
easily secures their support and very
often secures their money. To illus
trate my point | will call your atten-
tion to two instances that came to nv
notice a few days ago. A lady who re-
sides in this vicinity visited travel
ing optician who had stopped in Jules
burg for day or two. The optician
examined her eyes, fitted them with a
pair OF glasses, and charged her $40.
A local physician would have made a
more careful examination of the lady 5
eyes, would have furnished better
pair of spectacles, and would have
charged about one-tifth the price paid
to the travelling optician.
The other instance to which | refer
is the visit of the self-styled American
evangelist to Julesburg This man
ca'1e to town with trumpets blowing
and banners flying. Asked for creden-
tials, he replied that he had none and
1ceded none. His business, he said,
was to save souls. If the church peo
pie would assist him, all right and
good; if the church people would not
assist him, he would save all the souls
in the community and there would be
no work for the churches to do. But
the church people did assist him.
They helped him in his meetings.: they
boarded and lodged his people. and
they gave him money. These two in
stances illustrate my statement that |
believe our people like to be work
ed. :;
We believe our friend has drawn the
picture rather too lurid. 1t is true
that some people, all oger the world,
like to be humbugged, but we do not
believe that the people of this vicinity
are more easily humbugged than the
people OF any other community. 1t is
often difficult to detect frauds, and our
people prefer to be victimized by few
humbugs rather than to pass up any
proposition in which there might be
merit.

Exterminating Grasshoppcrs.

Several weeks ago W. L. Vaughan
sent to the department of agriculture
at w .hingtun City and secured a
small tube of ''grasshopper disease
fungus preparation recommended
by that department for the eradica-
tion of the grasshopper plague. Since
receiving the fungus Mr.. Vaughan has
been experimenting with it and he
states that he believes it to be a sue
cess. Directions for the preparation
and use of the disease bleeding germ
are furnished by the agricultural de-
partment, and the directions were fol-
lowed as far as possible by Mr..
Vaughan.
The first experiment made by Mr..
Vaughan resulted in the death of a
vast number of grasshoppers, and
while later experiments nave not been
quite so satisfactory, he believes that
the failure was due to the unfavorable
weather conditions, and not to any in
efficiency of the fungus. The fungus
must be used in damp weather and it
must be carefully prepared, otherwise
the best results will not follow. Many
of Mr.. Vaughan's neighbors have Wis
tied his farm and have secured quanti
ties of the grasshoppers that have died
from incubation. From these diseas
edinsects the fungus will be extracted
and general effort will be made to
eradicate the plague of grasshoppers
that has infested this locality for the
past three years. The result of these
further experiments will be watched
with interest and their success will be
hailed with delight.
