Durum, a Spring Wheat for Dry
Farming in Colorado.

Two years ago, the Colorado Expert
ment Station, co operating with the U. S.
Department of Agriculture, sent seed
durum tMacaronil wheat to careful farm
ers well distributed over Eastern Colo
RADIO where dry farming is practiced.
Millers of Colorado urge farmers in the
irrgated grain regions 'of the state to
grow Defiance as their spring wheat and
Turkey Red as winter wheat, since these
give most satisfactory milling returns.
1t is believed durum wheat is not
adapted for wet farming conditions, but
that it can be successfully grown in many
parts of our semi-arid lands where other
wheat cannot be grown. This will add
many thousand acres to the wheat acre
age of Colorado.
1t has been demonstrated that profit
able yields can be obtained from durum
wheat when the seed bed is carefully pre-
pared on the thorough tillage system.
Many famers wish seed durum this
coming season and it seems desirable to
obtain good quality seed, from which sat
isfactory harvest returns may be reason
ably expected.
The Agricultural Section of the Ex-
pertinent Station is in correspondence
with parties having good quality of
pedigreed Kubanka durum for sale.
There are fifteen varieties of durum
grown in this country, (U.S.l, but Kuban-
lSn durum has very good milling qualities
and seems well adapted to our Colorado
conditions.
The Station proposes to procure this
seed at as reasonable rate as possible
and sell it at cost to farmers who desire
durum seed wheat
| A small acreage is recommended for
the first season. Under dry farming CON
ditions fifty or sixty pounds is sufficient
to seed an acre. This should be sown
with drill on thoroughly pulverized,
well firmed soil as early in the spring as
climatic and soil conditions will permit.
Readers of this paper who desire the
Experiment Station to obtain seed dur
um wheat are requested to fill out the
accompanying blank and send to w. II.

Count Cassini States That Nov
Is No Time To Talk
Of Peace
PRESIDENT ROOSEVELT IS
WILLING TO GIVE SERVICES
Russian Ambassador Is to Have an
Important Conference With the
President Within the
Next Few Days.

Washington, May 30.-"Until some word
of peace comes out of Tsarskoe-Selo, Nip
pom has but to fight on"
This epigrammatic remark of Mr.. TAX
ahira, the japanese minister, made to-
night with the details of the victory of
the japanese fleet before him, accurately
sets forth not only his opinion, but 1t
is believed that of the Washington and
other neutral governments represented
here regarding the effect of the battle
upon Russia's policy. Whether Count
Cassini, the Russian ambassador, will be
the bearer of that fateful word when he
sees the President tomorrow or Thurs
day, remains to be seen, but the ambas-
sador in conversation with corre-
spondent of the Associated Press tonight
was more emphatic than at any time since
the war in the declaration that the war
would go on indefinitely. While admit
ting that he would see the President in
the next few days and have a long con-
ference on the general situation, the am
bassador strongly discouraged any hopes
of an early peace.

JAPANESE VICTORY
IS TOO SWEEPING
Vienna Papers Think 1t VIII Ultl-
mately Be Dlspleasing to the
unltd States and Great
Britain,

with the exception of the Fremdenblat,
continue to express satisfaction at the
Russian defeat in the Straits of Korea.
The Fremdenblat, which is the semi
official exponent of sthe governments
views, declares the Japanese victory was
too great and sweeping to be fully ac-
ceptable to Great Britain and the United
Satets, and says it may not bring peace
but rather more work for the diplomats
along the line of readjustment of inter-
national relations. The argument was adj
yanced by a certain diplomat here that
the more defeats Russia suffers the less
likely it Is that she will make peace,
because such course, the diplomat said
would hasten her internal collapse,

UNABLE TO ACCOUNT FOR
FLEETS UTTER COLLAPSE

Every successive dispatch adds to the
completeness of the Russian disaster and
the European press is busily casting about
for an explanation of the extraordinary
collapse of the fleet. There had been ru-
mors of characterization and mutiny on
board the vessels of Rojestyensky' feet
though nothing of an authentic nature
was known concerning this. IL is sug-
gested that submarines may have been
employed and that the mere appearance
of these may have inspired terror to the
Russian sailors. 1t is also surmised by
some of the papers that the need OF
enormous stores of coal necessitated the
limiting of supplies of ammunition and
this giving out compelled them TO sur
render. Whether any or none OF these
rumors can be held accountable Tor the
defeat, 1t is taken for granted that the
difference in the morale of the Russians
and Japanese was the most important
factor in the result.

Montrose, Col, May 3o.-A cave-in occur
red today in the Gunnison tunnel, one Of
the large irrigation projects of the United
States, entombing from twenty to twenty
five workmen. 1t is not likely that any
of the men are dead. unless they were
caught and crushed to death by the fall
ing earth, for the air pump pipes run
ming into the tunnel have been working
almost without interruption since the ac-
cident happened at 10 o'clock this morn
ing.
BY order of Resident Engineer Neon
nell all work on the tunnel has been sus-
pended and the entire force OF men and
machinery have been brought to the scene
of the cave-in - aid In rescuing the en-
tombed men. No Roadway can be made
in the tunnel for the reason that new
breaks in the roofs of the tunnel occur
as fast the debris Is removed. A shaft
is being sunk directly over the spot where
the men are buried The shat must pene-
trate slxty-nve feet before the tunnel
can be reached, and 1t Is not thought that
the distance can be covered short of to-
morrow noon.

are positive that they saw two Japa-

sinking.
The arrival of the Granny at II O'Clock

SECRETARY TAFT OVER THE
SITUATION WITH PRESIDENT.

Soon after the President returned from
New York this evening, Secretary Taft.
who had been out of the city about a
week, called at the White House and was
In conference with him for several hours.
While the Secretary was there, dispatches
| arrived from the Japanese legation CIV
ing details of the battle which the Presi-
dent read with keen interest. The Presi-
dent and the Secretary Diseased num-
Der of matters, but the outlook for peace
| occupied much of their time. 1t Is real
lied that the crushing character of the
Russian defeat gives to the President an
opportunity with entire propriety to offer
his services to the st. Petersburg gov
eminent in establishing communication
with Toxic. but until it can be learned
that such an offer would probably be sue
cessfuI, this government is not inclined
to act.
Throughout the diplomatic corps today
the keenest interest was displayed In the
news of the conference which Mr.. Taxa
hira the Japanese minister, had with the
President at the White House last night.
THAT marks a step in the direction OF
peace" said a prominent diplomat, land
| 1t is to be hoped that Russia will recog-
nize as does the rest of Europe, the dis
| interested earnestness with which the
| President wishes for an ending of the
