The largest meeting ever held in Bent

company that is going to build the SUI
gar factory requires a subscription of
5000 acres, and when reports from so
licitors are received from the east and

counties the maximum Will be more
than reached.

Science i'm Far North

A station which is to be maintained
at the service of scientific observers
has been erected 1870 miles north OF
the Arctic circle In Sweden. II is near
the track of the Ofoten railroad. the
most northern railroad in the world.
which was opened just year ago be
tween Lula. on the Gulf of Bothnia.
and Victoria Haven. on the Atlantic.
The road is being operated the year
round for the transportation Of iron
ore to the Atlantic for shipment. The
ststIon may thus easily be reached at
any season OF the year.
1t has been erected at the little set
tIement of Massijaure. only mile
and half from the Norwegian boun-
dary. Here scientific men VIII have
their first opportunity TO investigate
polar phenomena under comfortable
conditions and Mt small expense.
In summer they will he engaged
chiefly with geological and biological
researches. while meteorological. mag
netic and other studies fitting the
times will occupy them in winter. The
experts in natural history who will
occupy the station next summer will
be the geologist Westergren, the en-
tomologist Haglund the botanist Ro-
man and an expert In forestry.

Wild Woman i'm Alps

At the sight OF the man she scream
ed wildly and attempted 10 rise and
escape, but was too weak to stand up
Help wss procured, and she was con
veyed to Gessenay. where the strange
story of her discovery at an altitude
of over 10000 feet up the mountain
created widespread interest.
When she had been fed and some
what recovered her alarm at seeing
people around her seemed acute, and
again and again she attempted TO run
away from her preservers. She
gnashed her teeth, attempted to bite
and scratch those who held her and
abused them in an unknown tongue re-
sembling a rough mountain patois,
but which none OF the French. German
and Italian peasants who tried to con
verse with her was in the least able
to understand. her history is a mys-
terry. but 1t is thought possible that
she was deserted by some band OF
gypsies and has been wandering half
demented and aione on the Alps for
many months.

area under cultivation
Conditions do not favor the cultlva-
tion OF the cereals on a large scale.
Distance from all but local markets
renders 1t impractlcable for Colorado to
compete with Kansas and Nebraska in
the production of wheat, and climatic
conditions are unfavorable TO corn.
What is needed are crops that yield
largely per acre and command in pro-
portatlon TO weight and freight charges
n big price. This calls for what is
known AZ intensive agriculture, par
taking sometimes OF the nature OF
truck farming" or market gardening.
T this hnk OF farming belongs the
production of cantaloupeS in the Ar
kansas valley, potatoes and onions
near Greeley. celery in te vicinity of
Denver. and sugar be, 5 wherever
there is sugar factory.
1t is impracticable for a man en-
gagged in this kind of farming to care
for more than few acres in COM
parison with what Kansas wheat or
corn farmer cultivates. Yet he may
make in the course OF n year more
money than his Kansas competitor, be-
cause the prices received by him are
higher In proportion to the freight
charges on his product and the yield
per acre is much larger.
