Until more reservoirs are constructed
by private enterprise or by government
appropriations, the limit OF the water
supply in Colorado has been nearly
reached. Were it not for the great res
ervoirs in Northern Colorado in the
valley Of the Cache la Poudre, the i'm
mense potato crop of the Greeley dis
trict would be almost impossible Were
1t not for the vast reservoirs in the Ar
kansas valley, the rapid agricultural
development of that district would
have been less pronounced. The ad-
vantage of storage reservoirs. even
those which private capital and enter
prise render possible are thus empha-
sized. BY utilizing the waters OF our
streams. which now. in the flood sea-
son and the non-irrigating months. run
to waste, many more millions of acres
can be rendered arabic and productive.

prehensive survey of the water situa-
tion in the state, copiously illustrated
by half-tone engravings of the scenes
along the principal streams, the dams

canals and other irrigation and water
storage works. The data has been very
carefully collected from stream meas

the streams at various points the
amount which is now used, and the
amount which is allowed to flow away,
but which might be utilized If reser-
yoirs were constructed. The data is
presented largely in the form of tables.
and is very accessible to those who

Sorghum for Cattle Feed.

j. E. Payne. field agent of the State
Agricultural Experiment Station at
Fort Collins, outlined plan before the
Denver Chamber of Commerce and
Commercial Club committee on agri-
culture at recent meeting which he
says will be profitable to Colorado
farmers when practically applied. 1t,
involves the growing of sorghum in
the arid sections of the eastern part of
the state for cattle feeding in the win
ter months. He informed the commit
tee that he has, during the last five
years, made experiments in growing
sorghum and is positive it can be sue
cessfully raised with very little water.
and is therefore safe crop to plant
in the region suggested for its cultiva-
tion. While the proposition of grow
ing sorghum has been presented to the
farmers, they have not considered the
financial returns commensurate with
the trouble and expense. and want the
experiment made on a large scale to
prove its feasibility.
Mr.. Payne, therefore. came before
the chamber committee with request
that it suggest a line of action that
might lead to a better demonstration
VI liV NhSolS. liz llllol Hltu lUt cOIIl-
mittee that his idea is to have a group
of eastern Colorado farmers plant 300
or 400 acres Of sorghum this year with
assurance from cattle owners that
they will use the product for winter
feed. He said one acre of sorghum
could amply feed one steer or COW an
entire winter and make better beef
than any food now furnished cattle in
the winter season In this state ex-
cept corn. He urges cooperation be-
tween farmers and stockmen.
The test would involve feeding the
cattle near the location of the sor.
ghum fodder as it would scarcely pay
to ship it any long distance. Mr..
Payne's observations are that thous-
ands of acres of arid ground would be
diverted to sorghum culture within a
few years after the feasibility of its
maturing without irrigation had been
demonstrated, and that the eastern
part OF the state would then become a
vast winter feeding ground for stock.
The committee took the suggestion
under advisement and will endeavor to
devise practical plans for bringing
enough farmers and cattlemen to-
'gether on cooperative system to try
the idea this year.

New Sugar Factories.

There is no occasion for hesitation in
the erection OF additional sugar facto-
ries in the irrigated parts of this state.
1t is question of available acreage for
the production of beets, and that is a
matter of easy calculation.
The industry has been tested suffi-
ciently in Colorado to give clear idea
of the product per acre in beets. and
since tonnage in beets is the chief
measure of a factory's capacity, it is
not difficult to determine how many
acres are needed to keep factory in
profitable operation. To these must be
added a sufficient number to admit of
rotation in crops.
There will have to be great addi-
tion to thepresent number of sugar fac
tories before the capacity of the state
for this industry is reached Ther.-are
now six completed factories, and ihis
number could be increased probably
four or five times without overtaxing
the ability of Colorado farmers to pro-
duce beets.
The relation of the industry to the
question of reciprocity with Cuba is
different matter. but there is good
reason to believe that beet sugar can
be made in Colorado Notwithstanding
the competition of the Cuban cane
fields
Everything may be done to encour-
age the investment of capital in the
erection of factories. provided care be
taken to build such works only where
there is an adequate acreage and also
an assured supply of water for irriga-
tion. 1t may be taken for granted that
the proverbial timidity of capital will
prevent the establishment of more fac
tories than the state can support-Den-

LIVE STOCK ASSOCIATION
WILL NEXT MEET in OREGON

Kansas City. Jan. 16-The sixth an
nual convention of the National Live
Stock Association adjourned yesterday
afternoon to meet next year at Port
land, Oregon, after electing John w.
Springer president and all the other
old officers for the ensuing year, and
taking the initiative in a systematic
campaign of legislation against the
proposed packing house merger.
William M. Springer, general coun-
sci of the association, in spirited ad-
dress, outlined bill which he had for
mulated, "to protect trade and COM
merce against unlawful restraints and
monopolies," and which he said was
merely an adaptation of the Sherman
antitrust law and the Hoar bill now
pending in the Senate.
In the discussion that followed Pres
ident John w. Springer said that a bill
along the lines suggested by Judge
Springer would be printed within a
week by the association and sent to
every Legislature in the land
In further discussing the subject,
President Springer said that if the pro-
posed merger was ever consummated
the National Live Stock Association
would string packing houses from Chi
cago to San Francisco. In response to
an appeal from the legislative commit
tee for a legislative fund. $500 was
subscribed in less than thirty minutes.

WYOMING DELEGATION SEEKS -
BETTER COLORADO CONNECTION

! Herbert's reply to the committee was
as follows:
Il thank you for the interest You
evince in this matter and the trouble
you have taken TO bring it to my at
tention. The proposition impresses
me faIorably-strikes ME as a good

fore President TrumbuIl upon his re-
turn. A careful investigation will be
made within a few days. | hope the
extension plan will prove feasible and
can assure the citizens OF Wyoming
that the Colorado & Southern manage
ment will always respond to any rea-
sonable demands"
The committee felt very well pleased
with its reception by Manager Herbert
and much encouraged at the prospects.
On Thursday the Wyoming dele

Many of the delegates gave their
views of the situation.
W. c. Barrow publisher and owner
of Bill Barrow's Budget of Douglas,
said there are five business concerns in
that town that did a business of $780,
600. The aggregate volume was over a
million. There are three outfits drill
ing for oil nearby. and when he prob
lem of overcoming the resistance of
soft sand in drilling is accomplished
there will be hundred-fold increased
demand for oil well machinery. Den
yer naturally was their source of sup
ply. but on account of lack of railroad
facilities Denver gets none of the
trade
He explained the railroad situation
thus: The Colorado 4 Southern rail-
road has line to Fort Collins. They
are now preparing to extend the line
fourteen miles north of Fort Collins to
the point where the old Colorado Cen
trail railroad grade begins. From this
point over the line of this old grade
into Cheyenne was thirty miles. An
extension of fourteen miles from Orin
Junction to Douglas would complete
the through line TO Denver and thence
to the Gulf He referred to the fact
that the Colorado Fuel and Iron Com
pany was at present paying trackage
over the Union Pacific for two train
loads of ore into Denver and thence to
Pueblo daily. This ore came from
Hartville, 100 miles north OF Cheyenne.

DOCTOR BANCROFT
DIES AT SAN DIEGO

Denver, Jan. 17.-Dr. Frederick j..
Bancroft of Denver died yesterday at
San Diego, California, of heart trouble.
The news reached the city last night
Bancroft was prominent in his profess
sion and foremost as citizen, and
had been identified with the best in the
