II is abou, time the people Of Colorado
learned To appreciate the good points Of
the cottonwood tree. Because it grows
SO freely and so eheerfully disregards
lack Of care. the tree is regarded as but
poor thing. only good for sandbars In
the fisefs and hedge rows on ranches,
and no, to bs compared with tho elm ard
maple and ash and other trees which
grow naturally In tho east. and grudg-
ingiy here.
Tho cottonwood has enc fault. that the
pis,illa;a trees for few weeks in sum
NOR shed shower Of cotton. But this
fault Is ono which nursaymen could cor
rect. bu; have not simply because they
have no, appreciated the tree. a ssaini-
nate cottonwood sheds no cotton. and u
only the sisminata trees were pfopagaiad
tho cotton nuisance would DO eliminated.
Tho cottonwood Is among tho hand
somos, trees. IL spreads is branches
abroad and tho trunk towers toward hea-
ven making a pafsae; dome o! foliage.
Its branches arc high so that there IS
abundan, circulation Of air beneath. Its
limbs arc strong. so that no winds break
them. II grows rapidly and always sym
me,rieally. Its trunk is graceful in out
line. and In winter it Is ono Of tho hand
somes, Of our denudsd trees. None d,
tho freaks OF our climate ever catch u
mapping. When snow storms in Sop;om-
Dor tear tho elm and maple literally limb
from limb tho cottonwood stands un-
sea,hod. Thoy never I'LL their trunks
with sap during a warm spoil IN winter.
only TO have them burst during the noxt
next freeze up. They never pu, on;
their buds ,ill spring Is certainly hero.
Tho glossy finish Of their leaves bids in
sec, pests begone. and their tough bark
Is TOO much for tho bofofs.
a cottonwood lives and i,ourishes and
is tho homo Of birds and tho shelter Of
men. until some man with an axe and u
prejudice comes along and says, ''go to.
here is big cottonwood. Lot us Gu; i,

Payne and the Sugar Growers.

Congressman Payne declares that tho
bcet-sugar men all over tho country arc
agreeing with him that reciprocity with
Cuba is desirable thing. and that their
interests will no, be greatly injured by
tho proposed treaty. This is certainly a
matter about which there Is difference
Of opinion. So far as Colorado beet
growers arc concerned. thcy arc Of the
opinion that their business will be injured
through tho passage Of tho treaty and by
tho reduction OF the duty on raw sugar.
and that such reduction will be Of little or
no value to anybody except to the Sugar
truat-
In any event. when tho question comes
before congress. Colorado's delegation in
congress will be so,idly against reduction.
Senators Teller and Patterson have so
voted and expressed themselves. and the
Republican congressman will. OF course.
not violate the pledges made by them on
the eve OF election that they would not
vote to lower the tariff on sugar should
the proposition come before them ''in the
form Of reciprocity or otherwise. Color

The now assured expansion Of the Colo
RADIO Fuel & Iron Co, works has already
attracted impor,an, kindred industries
and many others are sure to find loca-
ton beside the steel works because Of the
convenient access To tho raw material for
wide range Of articles in which iron and
steel enter largely. As an example Of
this growth Of auxiliary industries may
be mentioned the Steel Wheel & Wagon
works. a shor, distance south Of the steel
works. Tho thousands Of workers must
be fed and the Arkansas valley grows
much that they mus; buy. Hence every
forward step which Pueblo takes as a
manufacturing center Is OF diree, benefit

The time has now arrived when u
seems perfectly safe to mako confidon,
prediction o! an abundan, crop OF fruit
Tho chances for damaging fros, after
this date are quite remote. Hon. J. II.
Crowley was interviewed By telephone
on Wednesday in regard to tho fruit out
look and he says Il was neser better. All
kinds Of fruit will be most abundant cs-
eept peaches. and they are variety OF
which we are never sure. but which bear
with enough regularity to make peach
orchard very profitable property. mr.
Crowley estimates that ninety per cent Of
the buds on uncovered peach trees have
been killed by the low temperature
which prevailed for a brief time during
the past winter. Trees which have been
laid down and covered will present their
enterprising owners with abounding crops.
The many advantages ct Roxy Ford
have frequently been noted in the columns
Of the Enterprise, but there is one strong
point which has not been emphasized.
The fact that Rocky Ford is only SO
miles from Pueblo is an element in our
future growth and prosperity which has
not been given sufficient prominence. 1t
is only recently that this advantageous
position could be truthfully mentioned as
being among what might be called the
resources of the valley. But when one
has visited Pueblo's great steel plant.
with its present output and enormous
future growth. the impression is created
that we are fortunate in being within
easy reach of city which has such
manifestly great destiny. Pueblo's smelt-
ing interests are the greatest in the state.
and by reason Of geographical position
will always maintain that preeminenee.

drowth Of an Important New Indus
fry


Already mos: excellent. tho outlook for
tho secdgrowing industry Of tho valley
continues To brighten. A few days Stree
D. v. Burrcll received letter from ono
Of tho leading seedsmen OF tho Union ask
ing concerning the chances for making
large contracts for growing seeds in tho
vicinity Of Rocky Ford. The high rcpu-
ta,!on which Rocky Ford products. can't
aloupes especially. have attained through
out the United States. Is attracting tho
attention Of the great seed houses which
wish 20 procure the best Of goods for
their trade. That the seeds grown under
irrigation and in this high altitude are Of
superior quality is being generally con-
ceedcd: hence tho desire TO have tho
choicest varieties Of seeds grown in the
Arkansas valley Of Colorado. Mr.. Bur-
roll informs US that 1000 acres will be
devoted to seed crops in the valley this
season. or this acreage Mr.. Burrell has
contracts for 1900 acres. He is some
what OF an enthusiast on seed culture.
but the rapid growth OF the industry and
the widespread attention our section is
attracting in that direction. seems to full
ly justify Mr.. Burrels predictions OF the
future great extent Of this new business.

A Word for the Cottonwood.

Forty-eight of the largest trees in City
Park have been chopped down this
spring. their trunks cut into sections and
hauled away. and the stumps grubbed
out. each tree being practically obliter-
ated.
The trees destroyed were not obnox-
ious. but handsome in outline, both in
summer and in winter. They harbored
no insect pests. They had not been torn
to pieces by storms. but instead. retained
their symmetry where exotic shade trees
had been reduced to unsightly stumps.
They cast IN summer deep shade. but
bore their branches high from the ground.
so there was no stopping Of the cooling
breezes. In fact. they were the finest.
handsomest and most outrageous trees

I, is probable that the suit instituted
by Kansas against Colorado for use OF
the Arkansas river water will be called
off. Gov. Bailey will make a careful in
yes,igation Of affairs in the Arkansas
valley Of Kansas and ascertain what the
feeling Of the people is regarding the
suit. The general sentiment in Kansas
is one Of indifference about the matter.
Gov. Bailey feels that il Is hardly worth
while pursuing the atiamp, any further.
and the case is no, likely to be pushed
any further. This will DO a proper end
ing on a sui, that should never have
been instituted. Tho fact Of tho pendeney
Of this sui, has had no efFee, on tho de-
