BERRIES FOR MARKET.
f Pays ts Raise Thea, Provided ths Crop Is Disposed Of Tn the Right
 Way and Place.

Having been asked, by farmar sub scriber. if it will pay to grow berries for market, in reply will say "yss''- if the business is managed right, and the crop disposed of in the right way and place. A good many of our towns are not properly supplied with berries; what they get If any. are second class-the overflow or refuss from the cities, where the market is often glutted. The commission men send circulars out before the berries are ripe, giving prices of berries shipped from the south, inducing many home growers to ship. By the time their her- riss get ripe the demand Is supplied. prices drop, and the berries being per ishable product, have to be sold fox what they will bring.
 My advice is to grow berries for local market towns that are not well suDpled Such places can be found in the west: land can be bought for less than half that close to large cities, pickers are cheap. and, as rule, more reliable. Berries that get too ripe on account of rain, and which will not do to ship, can be sold in the home market; all the rough handling of the railroad meA. shipping expenses, commissions. etc.. arc saved, also crates and boxes. Then when consumers get fresh. wholesome. home grown berries, they often get twice as many, and the growers in the local market often can regulate the price.
 It is a mistake to plant too large an acreage. We have to pay two cents . quart for pickers; one cent for straw berries and blackberries and one and one-half to two cents for raspberries The pickers can make good wages. have had boys and girls under 16 years old make a dollar day. I, IS years ago, sold as high as $40 worth of straw berries in day. remember selling live dollars worth of raspberries from one picking off one row the length of ten acres Black berries, 12 or more yearS ago, were not profitable, as so many grew wild; but of late years, growing blackberries has become more profitable Jacob Faith, in Midland Farmer.

PROTECTION FOR PLANTS.

Market gardeners, and even the mak- CT of a kitchen garden, feel the need oi some wholesale means of protecting newly set plants from the drying effecta of sun or air. A cloudy day is usually taken for transplansing, but the sun may come out with scorching heat at any moment, and much harm be done to unshaded plants.

The cloth can be divided into three strips. each strip being tackled at one end to 8 reel, and at the other end to 15-inch rod of wood Stick the sidea of the reel into the earth at one end of the row with wire supports at intervals along the row, and pull the cloth along over the plants, fastening the end at the las, wire SUD- port, as shown in the cut. Occasionally slip a wire support down over the cloth to keep the latter from blowing off the wire supports below it. Wind up the cloth on the reel when the plants no longer need cover. - Orange Judd Farmer

S~emi-Annual Appointment.

The semi-annual state school appor-
tIOnment by counties has lust been
completed by State Superintendent Nc
Brlen. 1t is estimated that from 200 TO
400 schOol districts are omitted by rea-
son of failure to MAINTAIN school the re-
CURED number of mouths. Some dis
trlcts have not yet discovered that a
district having seventy-five persons of
school age must maintain nine months
of school. The law of 1903 changed the
minimum number from 100 to rs pupils.
but many such districts report only
seven months school. All the districts
omitted in the semia-nnual apportiou-
ment were given due notice, and MANY
tiled affidavits showing that they had
levied and expended the maximum
mount of taxes, but did not leave
enough money to MAINTAIN school nine
months in the year. To such afidayits
the statement was attached that the
failure of the railroads to pay their taxes
prevented the raising of enough money,
The state superintendent is authorized
under the law to permit such districts to
share in the a~pportionment, and he has
done so.
The total fund apportioned is $685.
411.85. Last year the December an
portionment was s272,OOO. The rate
per scholar in this apportionment is a
traction over seventy cents. This is
based on 375,344 children, being the
number of persons of school age in the
districts that share in the apportion-
ment.
Red Willow county is credited with
1913 children of school age and will re-
ceIve g. 4. 40.

methods all through the aridregion. We
need onlyg back few weeks to the
order they induced the secretary of the
interior to issue withdrawing from
location and entry large area of agri-
cultural land in the Uintah reserva-
ton on the theory that the reclamation
service would at some time reclaim it.
Of course, as soon as the secretary as
certained what mistaken proposition
that was he revoked the order and
thereby told the reclamation people to
keep within the lines of heir lie gitimate
business.
Some of the men directing the re-
clamation service are so full of ambi-
tion to get hold of everything that looks
like an irrigation proposition that they
thrust themselves in wherever they get
an opportunity. There is hardly any
locality of Importance in the arid region
where they have not thrown out some
hint or suggestion that possibly they
will some day do some work there.
Thus they block all kinds of enterprises
with which they do not happen to be
connected. If some one were to sug-
gest scheme to irrigate the summit
of Pixies Peak by means of force pumps
and storage reservoirs it would not be
surprising if the reclamation people
would step forward and declare that
they had had the same matter under
contemplation for years.
This is too much the spirit of the re-
clamation service and it is getting the
entire force into bad odor with the
people. The development of this West
ern country cannot come to halt. The
act of congress contemplated that the
service to be organized under the recla-

region and not detriment. 1t would
be better, if choice had to be made,
to abolish the service altogether thaHto
let it get in the way of highly important
enterprises of various kinds which the
people who live in the arid region wish
to push forward. At the utmost the
total amount of land the service will
reclaim in Colorado will not amount to
ten per cent of the area which has
already been placed under irrigation by
private enterprise.
The reclamation service can find
plenty of valid and legitimate work to
do in its proper field. 1t is a very
valuable branch of the public service
when administered according to the
plain intent of the admirable law Great
ing it, and if any of its officials fail to
do their duty in proper spirit they
must soon give way to filter ..men.

THE RECLAMATION SERVICE.

Ecnvcr Republican.
The reclamation service would do
well to take counsel of discretion and
learn that its mission is to serve and
not to dominate the interests of the
Far West. 1t has been on descend
ing scale in the estimate of many peo-
pie of the transmissouri region from
the day it was first organized. and it is
in danger now Of stirring up the direct
opposition and antagonsim Of the in
habitants of all this section of country,
because of some foolish and unneces-
sary blunders.
The service itself is to blame for this
declining popularity, snd the course
pursued in reference to the Gore Car
on reservoir proposition presents good
illustration. The officers and agents
of the service came forward with a
half-baked proposition and insisted that
all other public or private enterprises
should give away. They had no def
niteplan. They didnot know what they
wanted. All they could present was
the bare possibility that some day they
might want to use the entrance to Gore
canon as reservoir site, and yet they
were conceited enough to think that
the development Of all Northwestern
Colorado should mark time while they
made up their minds in regard to what
they wanted to do.
