One of the most thriving businesses
IN the United States today and which
seemingly carries on its work regard
less of the fluctuations of stocks on
the great exchanges, is the growing
and Selling of seeds. From small be
ginn1ngs in the colonial period tnis
business has grown SO that now its
value in measured by the tens of mil
liens. The first beginning of the seed
business commenced in small shops
where a few boxes of seed shared a
corner with Goldfish or a shelf with
calicoes or books. To-day it has come
TO claim for itself immense ware
houses and business establishments,
having interests which extend to
every portion of the globe.
The Pilgrims probably were the first
introducers of seeds into this country,
for they brought with them seeds of
the plants cultivated by them in their

body a pamphlet describing simple
methods of testing seeds.
Firms with any reputation behind
them can not afford to work off poor
seeds, and If q lot of seed is tested
and found to be defective in germina-
tive qualities, the seedsmen will prob
ably stand ready to supply a good artl-
Gle in its place. The fault,in fact, may
not be the seedman's. Although the
seed dealers attempt to convey the
idea that they raise their own seeds
on their own farms, such a practice is
manifestly impossible where vast sup
piles of seeds are furnished. They
raise some of the seeds, but large
quantities are contracted for by them
with other growers and farmers, and
there Is always a chance of the seeds
men themselves being imposed upon.

gro yer to test each batch of farm or

novelty, that can only be determined

Importance of Seed Testing.

Since the days of tradition a great
deal of attention has been paid to
seed testing for quality of germina-
ton. Seeds have been foated or have
been heated until they popped; they
have been broken and the fracture
noted; they have been cut and judged
by the appearance of the inside.
Various experiment stations of the
United States have, for a long time,
paid much attention to practical seed
testing. The Department of Agricul-
ture for nearly eight years has con-
Quoted a trial ground in connection
with its seed laboratory where studies

A BIC STRAWBERRY
CROP PROMISED

Gardeners are agreed In the opinion
that the strawberry crop Of Canon City
and vicinity will be much larger this
season than ever before. and it is be.
licved that prices will be somewhat
better than they were last year. In
addition to n considerably increased
acreage. both in Lincoln Park and
Fruitmere, the plsats in the older beds
have been but little injured by the
winter and the weather of bloom gives
assurance of q prolific harvest.
A few berries OF the earlier kinds
have already been marketed by local
growers, but the Bederwood and other
standard varieties will not ripen for
several days, the season being n week
or more later than usual on account of
the dilitsriness of the spring. II is
stated by those who have gwen atten-
tion to the matter that the delay In
the ripening OF the crop will be TO the
advantage OF local growers as II will
result in less competition from the
Missouri berries. which ordinarily keep
prices down in the Colorado markets

many new beds were put out and they
will yield well this year, although not
SO much is expected of them as would
be the case had they been established
the previous spring. 1t is expected
that the season for shipping home
grown berries will last aboat four
weeks, although they will come into
market in diminishing quantities for Il
week or two longer.
Geo. II. Sale. secretary and manager
Of the Fremont County Fruit Growers
Association, made business trip
nearly every place he visited he found
the grocers and dealers anxious for
Canon City Strawberries, which they
stated were of superior quality to those
obtained elsewhere. Mr.. Salie was
surprised at the brisk demand from the
merchants in that section, particularly
at Albuquerque. which will probably
use sixty or seventy crates Of straw
berries day. Canon City fruit and
berry growers have had a market for
their products at Las Vegas and the
towns in the northern part of the terri
tory for several years, but hitherto
have not done much at Albuquerque.
II the market holds up, as there is
reason to believe 1t will, the straw
berry crop ought to be worth some
where in the neighborhood Of $50 900
to Canon City growers this year.

DEMENTED WOMAN
FOUND IN STREET

Her mind weakened by the shock
caused by the killing Of her brother
while he was trying to escape from the
penitentiary, Mrs. Ida Gates, OF Den
yer, has gradually grown worse until
she became demented, according to
ply ysicians. and yesterday wandered
from her home in Denver and came to
this city and was found on the West
Side at midnight. wandering aimlessly
In the rain.
A hackman found her, and to his
inquiries she replied that she wao try
ing TO escape police officers who were
after her. He took her to police head
quarters where DR.. Richardson, county
physician. was summoned and he pro-
nounced her insane and ordered her
taken to the hospital ward of the coun-
ty Jail.
The woman says detectives are con-
tinually shooting at her, and it seeEls
evident that the idea of prison guards
shooting at the fleeting Jail breakers
and lilling her brother has SO preyed
on her mind that she thinks they are
shooting at her.
Kirkendall, one Of the convicts who
was killed when a number Of prisoners
at Canon City made an attempt to
escape and stole the warden's wife in
order TO protect themselves from the
bullets OF the guards, was brother OF

DETROIT, July 14-New York drop
Ped into sixth place after a sanguin-

noon, in which there was everything but
fist fights before they got through. The
score was to In favor of the Tigers.
The feeling was intense when the game
started, and to make the contest certain
Griffith sent Chesbro to the slab.
That started the trouble, for Manager
Armour had spoiled Howell's spit
ball by smearing the sphere with 1icorice
Juice, and he tried it again. Every De-
troit player had some Gcorice in his
mouth and would spit on the ball when
he could, especially the new ones
thrown out while Chesbro was pitching.
Chesbro Chased
Griffith kicked frequently and Connolly
rejected some balls too heavily coated,
but before the afternoon finished the
charm worked and Chesbro was march
ing TO the Lench in disgrace.
The pitching of Muilin was very high
class for seven innings, but he was
touched up at the end, although it could
hardly overcome the big majority. His
support was perfect and the work of
Coughiin Crawford and the pitcher
himself was best. while Keller was
about the only one who did sensational
work for New York.
Just before the game in the prelim-
mary practice Powell hit Chase in the
eye with q liner and ne was knocked
out for three minutes, his face being
in such shape that he could not play
after that. Jack DOYLE went on first
and gave Detroit nearly all the runs by
his weird errors on easy throws.
