An Explanations.

prominent farmer of the reScrva-
tion, and gentleman who at all times
has been very good friend of ours,
came to our Office one day last week
and taxed us with being unfriendly to
him because Of an article which ap-
pcared in The Grit-AdvOcate the pre-
vouS week under another mans name.
in which he claimed that derogatorv
allusion had been made to himself.
We Informed the gentleman that we
did not believe the writer of the arti-
Gle in question meant to refer 70 him
in an ucOmpiimentary manner: at laeSt
we could see nothing wrong in the ar
ticle when it was submitted to us for
publication, otherwise we would not
have published it. Since talking with
our friend on the subject we have
learned that the aliu.,iun did not refer
to him but to another man who has
long since left the country and who
has no interests here at all. We be-
lieve that this explanation will prove
satisfactory to all Lersons concerned.

Morgan County Crops.

a drive through the South Platte
valley rs far rs Snydcr last Saturday
revealed to the writer that prosperity
is rampant through that section This
year. The hay fields are dotted with
huge stacks of first cutting of alfalfa,
which however was rather light, and
the second cutting is in progress and
promises to be somewhat heavier.
With good rains or another irrigation
il third cutting can be had. Barley is
mostly in shock aud indicates a heavy
yield. The cutting Of wheat and oats
has been started this week and most
fields, of which there are many and
extensive. indicate Il hruntiful har
vest. The sugar beet fields are mostly
in prime condition. and if the ncceS-
Sary water can be had at the right
time. there Will be no doubt Of Il heavy
and valuable crop. Corn looks well
and promises an abundance of fodder,
if not an average yield Of grain.-Mor-
gan County Herald.

Important Experiment.

NJ. A. Carleton, an agent of the. q.
5. Agricultural Department, was in
this section this week investigating
the adaptabilily of this soil ard eli
mate for the growing Of Macaroni
wheat.
Last year c. b. Goddard distributed
about forty bushels of this species of
wheat among our farmers. and though
it was not givch all the attention such
an experiment requires, the results
were highly satisfactory.
This wheat is a native of Russia and
is claimed to be peculiarly suitable for
annual rainfall OF twelve inches, and
there is considerably more than that
in this region.
Mr.. Carleton came here to examine
the results of this experiment On the
ground where it was inaugurated
He expressed himself as well satisfied
and believes our soil and climate are
peculiarly adapted to the cultivation
of this variety OF wheat. But those
who try it would do well to bear in
mind the old adage-"There is no ex-
cellence without labor" AS Josh
Billings would say, you might as well
sit down in the middle Of the field apd
expect the COW to back up to be MIXED
as to expect to raise wheat without
proper cultivation. Nothing thrives
except useless weeds, without careful
cultivation.
If this industry is properly nurtured
and developed it will solve the prob
non-irrieablc lands.-Sterling Demo.

The Irrigation Meeting.


zens. published a week previously, a
large numberof farmers residing in the
irrigation district west of Julesburg,
assembled in the court room last Fri
day afternoon for the purpose of dis
cissing the problem of securing suf-
iicicnt llow Of water to make irriga-
ton success during all seasons.
Nearly all of those present seemed
to agree upon the proposition that
some plan should be adopted to III
crease the water supply. What that
plan should he seemed to be the bone
Of contcutIon. and the different ideas
on the question were prolific Of Il large
amount of discussion. which at times
waxcd warm.
The supporters of the undcrilow
proposition had assumed the aggreS-
give in calling the meeting, and had
supposed up 10 that day that large
minority Of the people were with them
However the strength of the Opposi-
tion had not before manifested itself.
and before the meetir e had progressed
far it was seen that tins opposition, if
it did not contain a ma iOrity, pos
scs>ed sufficient strength to prevent
the ratification of the undcrilow prop
oSition. This being the case no action
was taken by the meeting, excepting
il general discussion of the two propO-
sitions-the undeItIow and the rc>er-
vOir. Hence the question stands now
where it stood before the meeting was
called.
From the fact that we opened our
columns two weeks since to Il signed
article on the irrigation problem, we
have been accused by some people of
sanctionng the argument produced by
the writer of that article. We desire
TO say here and now that because we
permit an article on any subject to ap-
pear in the columns of our paper is no
reason for snpposing that we agree
with the sentiments expressed in the
article. In our experience Us an edit
or we have rarely refused TO allow the
public free access to our paper, and
we do not propose to change our policy
at the present time. Any person in
Scdgwick county who holds different
views from those expressed by Mr..
Chester. Wright, in the article pub
liShed in The Grit Advocate of July
24th, may feel himself at perfect lib.
erty to have them published in this
paper. In fact we invite IL full and
free discussion of this very important
question. We are not an irrigation
expert: we do not know what is best
for the country, hence we are not a
radical supporter of either the under
flow or the reservoir proposition.
We know this much, however: Some
thing should be done to increase the
supply of water available for irrga-
tion purposes in til S county during
July and August. What that some
thing should be we are unable to say.
We do believe though that the farm
crS-thosc most vitally interested--are
competent to judge what is best to be
done. and the question should be left
to them. We trust implicitly in their
ability, and believe that they will do
what is best for themselves and for the
community at large.

Bows the Beet Fields.

The sugar beet industry in Lincoln
county is surely proving good thing
in more ways than one. At tirSt-three
years ago-when the American Sugar
company planted siXly-tive acres in
the vicinity of Hershey, it was more
of an experiment than else. Each year
since then the acreage planted in this
county has increased by 400 per cent.
until this year there are being culti-
waited over 1000 acres. But as to the
boys. While they were formerly wont
to be about the streets during the va
cation season, Il worry aud Il torment
to parents and neighDors, they now
have an opportunity to earn a dollar Il
day in the beet fields and many of
them are doing it, too. Some lads
so small that one would hardly think
OF employing to do any sort OJ work
are earning Il dollar day-day after
day. In most instances we presume
the lads are permitted to receive and
use the money with proper suggestions
from parents as to the best use for it.
Instead of forming the habit of all
play and no work, these boys are form
ing habits of industry.
One boy who has particularly come
to our notice is Master Lee Newton,
materially Industrious, has been at
work for suIne time in the beets and
, says he can lead the gang when it
comes to race at the work-and does
it we'll, too, for if the work is Sighted
it has to be gone over again. While
boys are earning a dollar IL day in the
beet fields none of them are likely to
earn Il bad reputation as a result of
; acquiring bad habits. They Will no
doubt do better work at school the
following year rs another good result.
