Seed Wheat for Colorado.

WlIilam II. Olin, professor OF agro-
nomy at the State Agricultural College,
delivered an address at the Denver
Chamber of Commerce luncheon few
days since on the types OF grain best
adapted to Colorado.
Speaking about wheat, Professor
Olin said: '1n regard to wheat, wish
to say / have corresponded with nearly
every miller in the state in reference
to milling wheats. am convinced that
they are with me and will support me
in the statement that of all the spring
wheats tested in Colorado-Defiance
has given the best result. Therefore,
let us take this good wheat which has
been grown in our state for twenty
Ave years in preference to any other
spring wheat. l wish to urge the use
of so-called Turkey Red winter wheat
(Which never saw Turkey, in all sec
lions of the state which grow a winter
wheat. 1t is hardy, very satisfactory in
yield and our millers desire 1t above
all other types of fall wheat. 1t is this
wheat which has made Kansas the
greatest wheat state in the Union.
Then on lands which cannot be irri
gated, lying between the spring and
fall wheat regions, / suggest farmers
test the growing of some good drouth-
resisting wheat Grain grown under
irrigation should not be used for seed
purposes on lands where grain is
grown without irrigation. If northern
grown seeds are more hardy than
those grown in southern chimes, and
seeds grown at 5000 feet elevation ma
ture and endure frost conditions better
than those grown at sea level in the
same latitude, why should not grain
grown without irrigation under semi
arid conditions for several generations
be more drouth resistant than the same
kind of grain under different condi-
tons?
Colorado should use for seed pur-
poses pedigreed grain. This can only
be made practical by the organizing OF
a seed growers association. 1t Is my
purpose to attempt such an organiza-
ton at our next session of the farmers
short course in January"

one of the powers signatory to the
Madrid convention of 1880, in answer
to the request OF the sultan OF Mo.
rocco to join an international confer
ence for the consideration of the
Moroccan question, has answered that
its preference is not to take part IL
the conference unless such action
would be satisfactory to France
The United States has taken tho
same stand. the two powers being in
accord with France that such con.
ference would not be the best way OF
Promoting urgent reforms in Morocco

At meeting of the Colorado State
Board of Stock Inspection Commits
sioners June 18th DR.. C. G. Lamb.
state veterinary surgeon, was author
lied to secure assistants and start on
July LIST to dip all cattle afflicted with
the mango whose owners had failed
to comply with the law.
Only the cattle in the eastern part
OF the state are affected by this order
as this is the only portion of Colo
RADIO where mango to any extent ex-
lists.
The dipping by DR.. Lamb and his
assistants is under a provision of the
new law which compels the dipping of
cattle. In cases where owners have
neglected to comply with the law the
state board is authorized to dip the
cattle, selling enough of them to pay
for the necessary expense.

Lawsuit Hung Fire Long.

The owners and heirs of owners Of
the brig Oliver Frances have just
brought suit against the government
for damages sustained by the brig al
most forty years ago. The Frances
was run down and sunk in a thick fog
on the morning of June 80, 1866, by
the United States gunboat Winooski.
Since that time the matter has been in
process of settlement, but no agree
ment could be reached between the
parties, and the suit was entered in
the United States district court at
Portland, Me.

So much is said and written these
days concerning the dense population
of certain parts of the world and the
constant cry among nations for more
territory, that perhaps the following
may prove interesting: The popula-
ton of the whole world could with
ease stand upon the Isle of Wight.
Roughly. the population of the world
is ,500,000000. If each person was
allowed two square feet of standing
room, they would occupy about G7,oo0
acres. The area of the Isle of Wight
is 1884 acres.

Pillow Built In 1890.

An old and very interesting pillow
has been received by Prof. Hurd for
the museum of the agricultural col
lege at Orono, Me. The pillow is the
gift of Leroy B. Mason of North Wind
ham. 1t was built in 1890 by Abiga
Varney of Windham. 1t is of the same
style as the old Daniel Webster pillow,
being a heavy, clumsy affair. but en-
tirely of wood with iron plates
sheathed over the share and point.
These plates are with the exception
of two bolts held on by wooden pegs.

Biggest Mass of Amxethxst.

1t is believed that the National Mu-
scum is now in possession of the larg-
est mass of pure amethyst in the
world. 1t is a part of a mass found
in Brazil and sent to Oberstein, Ba-
varia, where are located the greatest
gem-cutting works in the world. 1t
came from the region of the Rio
Grande do Sui, and when found was
80 feet high and weighed 35 tons. The
curator of the Smithsonian Institution
succeeded in obtaining a 400-pound
fragment of this great gem.

Irvine to Bind Kansas Crops.

1t took fifty large freight cars to con.
vey 100000 pounds of Irvine to be
used in binding up the wheat crops of
Kansas. An idea of what this vast
quantity of Irvine means may be gath
cred from the following data: The
Irvine will bind over 100000 acres of
grain, and if in one continuous length
would encircle the globe at the equator
six times and enough left to connect
New York City with Cleveland, Ohio.

SATURDAY, JANUARY IS. 1905.
A LIEUTENANT GOVERNOR.

Another attempt is to be made to
amend our state constitution. Hon.
Edward T. Clark of Laramie county
has introduced bill providing for the
submission of a constitutional amend
ment providing for a lieutenant gov
ernor n a very strong effort will be
made to secure the adoption thereof.
When tie constitutional convention
discussed this matter, it was regarded
the part of economy to dispense with
sions since that time their wisdom
has been proved defective. The add
tional expense will amount to almost
nothing. 1t is proposed to fix the sal
airy at $500 and the lieutenant COVER
nor will act as president of the senate.
thus relieving one enator from ardu
GUS duties during the legislative SEES
sion and adding to the efficiency there
OF to that extent. The president OF
the senate gets $500 for his service.
But the cal benefit is not in the
fact that the senate will have a presid-
ing officer independent of its actual
membership. There will be nominated
for the position men who's qualifica.
ions enti,le them to consideration be,
of their peculiar fitness for the
executive Office. 1t would be an hon,
orable position to which any prominent
resident of the state might aspire. 1t
would place us in line with the other
states of the union and relieve us of
~vexatious ploblems in case of the death
or incapacity of the chief executive.
OF course, the law will be so framed
that there will be nj possibility of the
lieutenant governor drawing two sal.
aries in the event of his succession to
the governors office.
The question will be submitted to the
people two years hence. when its mer-
its will be discussed from every stand
point. The Republican sincerely hopes
Mr.. Clark's bill will pass and that the
amendment will also be adopted by
the people.

AN ~ECONOMICAL MEASURE.

Two years 6 a law was enacted
providing a court ste%nographer for
cch of the several districts of the
state. Al that time IL was argued that
there would be economy in the law;
that the fees collected would compen
safe for the additional expense to the
state; that it would make it more toll
cradle for poor men to get into litiga-
ton: that conditions in the courts
would be improved UNNECESSARILY.
None of the arguments has proved
true.
The law has cost the people al ev-
eli 10000 II the fees returned to
the treasury have amounted to Sl,440.
Under the old law stenographers We're
permitted to charge Is cents per OLE
for transcripts. but the new law, III
der which the people were paying the
freight. provided a charge of 7 cents
per folio. If the state has been get
ting pay for more than the first copies.
the matter is not currently reported.
Poor men have not had their atten.
ton called to cheaper litigation un
der the new law. There have been no
bargain counter sales of justice. If
anybody has gained financially through
the establishment of sinecures, it GER.
tainly has beer at the expense of he
people, who have been mulcted to the
extent of more than eight thousand
dollars through the deal.
Representative VIM. Dubois of Lar
annie county has introduced a bill re
pealing this law. 1t will make some
changes in the old law that will be
very beneficial. Mr.. Dubois has been
assisted in drafting this bill by one of
the best posted men in the entire state
upon matters of this nature and has
therefore provided against every con-
t%ingency.
The act is in line with genuine econ
omy and should pass.
