FARMING MATTERS.

The constitution of Colorado pro-
vides that the waters of the state are
appropriated for benetcent irrigation
and domestic uses, but does net give
any person or corporation the right to
more than for actual needs. When the
appropriation act was first passed 1t
was supposed that the water went with
the land. but courts have decreed that
the water may be transferred separate
ly. yet excessive use is not allowed.
There is now a bill in the Legislature
to regulate this matter.
An Abilene, Kansas. dispatch Of jan
uary 23rd, says: The highest price paid

A PENNSYLVANIA man desires informa-
tion regarding the average yield of
orchards in this country. Full bearing
orchards should yield carload or
about 500 boxes of apples and 1000
boxes Of peaches to the acre. When
apple trees are young-up to twelve or
fourteen years old-they bear, as a
rule, good crops every year. but when
they get older they seem to yield an
enormous crop every other year, tax
ing rest the of year as is usually the
case with unirrigated orchards
Peaches, on the other hand, appear to
bear well every year. In 1898 a Delta
county man named Matthews bought
the fruit. ready for shipment, from 5O0l
Elberta peach trees for 81 l,S5l. In 1893
he purchased the crop for S2.74I, and in
1900 for s2,46S. Peach trees are long

RIlaht lnIures Maple trees.

Prof. II. l.. Shantz, instructor OF BIZ
ology at Colorado College, has Issued
a circular warning owners OF maple
trees of a serious blight that menaces
the principal shade tree of Denver.
The circular follows:
AN examination of the naples in
eastern Colorado shows the presence
of great numbers of the cottony maple
scale (pulvinaria innumerabilis ratho).
They are much more numerous In
many sections than they were last
year, and we may therefore expect to
find considerable damage done to the
shade trees the coming summer.
ANY one who cares to take the time
may determine for himself whether or
not there are scales on his trees. They
are small, about twice as long as
broad, and of the color of the bark.
They are found on the younger
branches.
''These maple scales have simple
life history. The females for the
scales we find at this time are all fe-
males) will produce eggs next spring.
The eggs appear in cottony egg sacs
and are produced in great numbers.
from the eggs small lice-like animals
are developed. These migrate to the
foliage parts and there live on the
living tissues of the leaf. The males
develop wings. but the females do not.
The males die and the females migrate
back to the woody stems. there to re-
main unnoticed during the winter.
"This form has SO many natural en-
emies that 1t is seldom harmful. In
fact. 1t is seldom plentiful for two sue
cessive years and on account of this
fact we probably have little to fear
from these scales. At times, however,
it becames very plentiful and does
much damage before the natural enc
mics can have multiplied sufficiently
to check its increase.
Artificial means can be employed
for the destruction of these scales. The
trees may be sprayed in summer or in
winter. but the latter is preferable. A
wash of one pound of whale oil soap
to one gallon of water is highly recon-
mended for winter use.
"A rather full account of this insect,
with a partial list of its enemies and
also artificial remedies, may be found
in an article by l. o. Howard in bulle-
tin No. 22 (new series) of the United
States Department of Agriculture, di-
vision of entomology.

Sugar Beet Tops as Feed.

A Denver News correspondent says
an important side issue of the sugar
beet industry is being found in the
the feeding and fattening stock values
of the sugar beet tops, as applied to
winter consumption by cattle. sheep
and hogs
One Greeley colony farmer and
stockman reports the sugar beet tops
Of ten acres OF beets as a most success
full adjunct of the wintering of several
hundred head of stock cattle, while
one of the neighbors is using sugar
beet tops as one of the chief factors in
lamb and mutton fattening for the
coming spring eastern markets.
On many of the Greeley colony
stock farms these sugar beet tops are
being winter fed to stock hogs with
exceptional advantageous results. the
hogs not only keeping in flesh, but act
ually fattening on this practically ref
use of the sugar beet harvest One
stock farmer says that he pulled the
tops from his sugar beets, taking care
TO leave the center buds of the beet
plant intact. from the time the tops
were big enough, and that while his
beets yielded twenty-four tons to the
acre with high saccharine percentage,
he also fattened his hogs.
Sugar beet tops will average four
tons per acre and are greedily eaten by
all kinds of stock.
