There is more than one way Of ex
hausting the soil. 1t may be done by
continuous cropping by the same crop
year after year, by removing all crops
and returning nothing to the soil, by
growing weeds year after year, by SO
cultivating the land that the erosion
caused by floods washes away fertility
year after year. The antidotes to this
thing are rotation of crops, the liberal
use of legumes, clover, alfalfa, COW
peas, the feeding of the crops Of the
farm to stock of some kind and the
return to the land of the fertilizer 50
made, a never ending war on the
weeds. The wise and good farmer will
have his land grow better each year in"
stead of poorer, just as the wise finan-
cier will see to it that his capital is In
creased each year.

PUBLIC EXAMINER NEEDED

The recent meeting of county as
SCISSORS held in Denver brought out the
fact that there is wonderful lack of
uniformity among assessors throughout
the state, not only in the system of
assessing, valuations, etc, but that
the record work in each county is
practically unlike that in vogue in
every other county. This condition
applies not to county assessors alone
but to the county judges, clerks of
court, county clerks sheriffs and
treasurers all over the state
In view of the fact that in the fifty
nine counties of the state there are
fifty nine different systems of account
ing, or rather that there are very few
counties in which any system at all is
followed, it is important that there
should be state inspector or examin
er whose official jurisdiction should
cover the system of accounting. such
officer to insist on uniformity of book
keeping so that the county offices
could be quickly checked up and a
report and record made of its condi-
tion. This officer could act in ca
pacity similar to that of National
bank examiner or travelling auditor
of an express company.
To be sure law such as we suggest
wonld, at first. be looked upon with
suspicion and distrust by some, yet its
advantages would be many and com.
petent accountant in such Office would
many times more than save his salary
in the course of year besides being a
true friend to these honest officials,
who have not had the benefit of n
clerical experience prior to assuming
official responsibilities.

PARDON THE ENTHUSIAM but
the people of this county must wake
mp to the fact that our roads are not
what we should have. Not only
should we have, but we MUST have
better roads and that very soon.
There may be other couties where the
roads are worse than ours, but here
they are quite bad enough, thank
you. The county commissioners are
trying to accomplish the most possible
with the small amount of money at
their disposal. They aim to be care
full and economical in expanding the
road fund but they can not do enough.
Our roads are not being improved fast
enough. The interest on a bonded
Indebtedness sufficient to build per-
manent roads all over this county
would be little more than that now
expended on the roads and just think
how much nicer if we had good roads
scientifically constructed connecting
all parts of the county Wake up,

time is coming.

LOUISIANA RECENTLY asked

LOUISIANA RECENTLY asked
President Roosevelt to take complete
control of the fever situation within
her borders, trust the President at
once accepted with his usual prompt
ness. The incident leads the Herald
Democrat to remark that state SOW
ereignty or states rights has received
a black eye in its own citadel, which
we think rather hasty deduction.
The voluntary tender and acceptance
of temporary powers delegated the
president, was an act of state SOW
ereignty, very different from forcible
control assumed by the federal govern
ment for all time. What Louisiana
has done in an emergency is no cri ter
ion of what she would like to do all
the year around. Besides it does not
follow that Louisiana would delegate
these extraordinary powers to just any
old president who came down the pike.

OF THE GREATEST Importance

OF THE GREATEST Importance
is the movement in favor of good
roads. The agitation recently so
prevalent in the East and South has
spread to Colorado. The truth is
burning itself in on the hearts of
public officials from governor to road
overseers and the fact that good roads
are not luxury but necessity and
an investment is being recognized
more than ever before. Good high
ways enable farmers to reach the ship
ping stations with their produce and
stimulate and encourage the cause of
agriculture, bringing people and
wealth into new country.

COUNTY COMMISSIONERS

COUNTY COMMISSIONERS in
taking care of the financial obligation
incurred by our enterprising business
men who planned the road meeting
this week have indicated their desire
to give more attention to scientific
and permanent road building than
they have done heretofore. The de-
termination to build less road, if need
he, but build it better, will mean
the saving of thousands of dollars to
the taxpayers in the course of few
years.

THE SUBJECT OF irrigation is
one of more than passing import and
the meeting of the National Irrigation
congress, which will be held in Port
land this month, promises to mean
much for Colorado since special
effort will be made not only by the
Colorado delegation but by friends
of the state elsewhere to have the next
annual meeting of the association held
in Donver. Inasmuch as Colorado is
practically the center of the great ir-
rigation industry, it is believed the
chances of securing the Congress are
more than favorable.

is the automobile lawn mower. What
a boon is this, my countrymen, for

been obliged to add to the burden of
the day by pushing lawn mower an
hour or two Now if reports be
true, he is entering an era when he
can mount his machine after supper
take spin around his premises and
presto the lawn has been nicely clip

of cowcatcher receptacle, which is
pushed in front of the machine.

Cyclonic conditions often develop
quite early in the spring in the middle
west. Two or three days of so degree
temperature in late March or early
April will often set things going, SO
disturbing the normal temperature
that a cyclone results. Hot air alone
will never produce a cyclone; neither
will cold air alone, but the mixing of
the two works on the same plan as

FRENCH EXCITATIoN.

While the German attitude toward
Morocco is doubtless a matter of grave
concern to France, some of the French
manifestations are irresistfbIy anus
ing. True to their excitable nature. the
French are daily working themselves
into new frenzies over the most trivial
Incidents Luncheons, dinners and
even afternoon calls are utilized to fur
nish cause for the gravest forebodings
and the utmost relief.
For instance, in a recent Paris dis
patch it was stated: THE Moroccan
question is exciting renewed anxiety
despite the fact that Premier Rouvier
dined with Prince Won Radolin. the
German ambassador to France. at the
German embassy last night"
Wouldn't conditions have been awful
if NJ. Bouvier had contented himself
with a ham sandwich in his room that
night?
Then the Matin came out with the
following:
mo matter what his power may be,
the German emperor must renounce the
hope of infiicting a check upon US. even
to our seIf-respect. France is no long
er isolated as in 1870 The isolation is
now on the side of Germany
Nothing very "hot" in that, is there?
Yet, TO allay the great excitement
which affected even the bourse, the
foreign office and Premier Rouvier
were forced to deny that the state
ment had official sanction. Coupled
with this was a statement which in
effect declared that Prince Won Radolin
had entertained NJ. ROuvier in a hos
pitable manner.
All France breathed easier.
Then came the announcement that
King Edward would take a bite with
President Loubet at the Elysee palace
on Sunday. an event which promised
to be another notable demonstration
of Anglo rencht cordiality," and the
excitement subsidized.
