THE POST has frequently referred
to the inadequacy of our present jury
system in dealing with criminal mat

responsibility of those who would
undertake to change the system. Now
comes no less an authority than Secre-

system a failure and says that sooner
or later it must make way for some
system which will more nearly meet
the demands of justice. But what
system shall we adopt7 That is the

SAVE THE SCHOOL LAND If

with the state lands is one of especial
importance in view of the rapid
strides being made in irrigation and
the eagerness with which water is
being appropriated.
The state lands are the especial
heritage for our children and our chill
dren hildren and we know there is
a disposition to say to the land board
"You should not sell these lands at
the present low prices, but should
hold them against the time when they
shall bring many times their present
value.
This argument would be strictly
applicable were it not for the fact that
irrigation. that without which farm
ing in Colorado would prove failure
is making rapid strides and soon the
waters of the state will all be appro-
priated and the state lands will then
be left dry and worthless.
Under the present law these lands
cannot be included in irrigation dis
tricts and taxed for their proportion
of the cost of irrigation plants because
the constitution provides that state
lands cannot be taxed The Post
believes that unless these lands can in
some manner be included in some ir-
rigation scheme they should be sold
now for what they will bring which is
greatly in excess of what can be oh
tanned for them twenty years from
now after the water has all been ap-
propriated.
The State Agricultural college owns
a tract of about go, 900 acres of fine
land in Montezuma county and the
farmers owning contiguous tracts are
of an irrigation district and putting
in plant which will irrigate the en-
tire tract, but, as the law stands
these lands cannot be taxed for the
expense.
A plan has been set on foot by
Eugene Grubb and Register Woodruff
of the state land board looking to the
irrigation of these lands allowing the
state and her educational institutions
to receive the benefit of the increased
value of the difference between barren
land and rich, producing farms.
The plan has not yet been worked
out in detail but it is proposed to in
terest the wealthy citizens with phil
anthropic tendencies in advancing the
money necessary to make the grand
transformation allowing the state to
reimburse them several years hence.
The Post gladly seconds any legitimate
effort which may be put forth to en-
hance the value of our school fund and
thus protect the children of this and
future generations. Unless this can
be done by some plan for watering the
present arid school lands then these
lands should be sold tc others while an
opportunity still remains TO secure
water for their irrigation.

Proper Distance for Corn About Peach
Tree Borers.

~Messrs. Editors Il have been
growing Cookies Prolific corn for
several years and tried planting in
hills and also thick in drill. The best
results are had by planting it four
or four and one-half feet each way
and leaving one to three stalks in
each hill, according to land. The
best corn [ had last year in this way
had six good ears to the hill, while
the same number of stalks singly in
the drill in equal space did not yield
near so much.
My experience with this corn has
not continued long enough to be
positively certain as to what is the
best; yet it would seem for best re-
suits it requires plenty of space for
sunshine, ETC., and that it may be
crowded in the hill provided sufici-
ent distance be left between the hills.

number of tubers produced are all
greatly influenced by the growing
conditions, especially by poor me,
chanical conditions of the soil anc
by injuries of the vines. VI these
three features, that of form is most
persistently reproduced.
5. Some strain features, such as
extra roughness of skin, and mai
formations, such as enlarged or tu-
berous eyes, often seen in the Early
Ohio, tend, as do other features, to
be carried over into the following
crop, but they seem strongly affect
ed by cultural conditions.
6. Since differences In strain char
acters are reproduced in successive
crops, it is evident that small tuber
from a vine which has born tubers
chiefly of the desired form and size
is of more worth for planting pur-
poses than a very large tuber from
vine that has descended from strain
of vines which habitually bore nu-
merous small, undesirable tubers.
Z. Because of the tendency of po-
tatoes to vary under cultivation, and
because such variations tend to run
into certain strains, some valuable
and others comparatively valueless,
it is evident that the selection Of
proper tubers for planting is the first
essential to culture. This selection
should be done in the field at digging
time, and should be made from those
hills which produce potatoes OF the
form and character desired.
8. As to how the selection should
be undertaken in the field, the work
and observations of this bulletin are
not directly applicable, other than to
the extent that it was observed that
the characteristics of the vines were
variable with the different strains.
This would indicate that the vines
may possibly become valuable index
to proper selection. Furthermore, in
making selection for purposes of
plant improvement, it is always best
to take into consideration the entire
aspect of a plant rather than the
single feature desired.
9. In planting equal weight pieces
from small and large tubers of the
same vine, there will not be suffici-
ent difference in favor of one or
the other size of potatoes to be no
ticeable under farm methods, provid-
ed all are normally mature.

Potatoes.
Every crop is susceptible to inn
provement by proper seed selection.
This topic is neglected by practical
farmers more than any other. Much
has appeared in our agricultural pa
pers recently, however, about the ad-
visibility, and detailing the proper
mode, of selecting seed of cotton and
corn. Both Irish and sweet potatoes
are susceptible of improvement. The
following paragraphs concerning the
selection of the Irish potato are
taken from Bulletin No. 80 of the
North Dakota Experiment Station
which may probably be secured by
request from Fargo, N. d. The
statements which are made here con-
cerning the Irish potato are with
out doubt, to a large extent, equally
true of the sweet potato. Following
are the Dakota conclusions after
three years experiments:
General Summary from the Observations
of the Three Years.
/. Upon going into a field of po-
tatoes asumably of one variety and
of a number of years growth from
the same stock, it will be found thar
the product in different hills shows
a wide ra lsu of variation from what
may be termed the standard type of
the variety. This is what is usually
known as degeneration" or "run-
ming out" 1t is simply variation of
the crop into certain strains. These
strains, as, for example, of smallness,
many tubers per hill, or of peculiari-
ties of form, tend to persist from
year to year. The final crop thus
eventually becomes of poor quality
because of lack of proper selection
of the seed tubers.
2. Selection of large size tubers
from the general crop as stored in
the bin will not, with any desired GER
tainty, make the crop better one;
for some hills which naturally yield
many tubers of off form and small
size, may furnish a large number of
the tubers used for the next crop.
That is, in such selection of tubers,
few hills may furnish much the
greater number of the pieces for the
small potato test. Such tubers car
only be expected to raise small ones
| again, and the test will naturally be
against the small potatoes. If, by
chance, an equal or greater number
of the large tubers selected should
come from such hills. then the test
will be less favorable to the large
tubers. All other comparative tests
which neglect this consideration of
strain Or stock variation may be ex-
pected to be of doubtful result.
3. The tendency to resemble the
general varietal character seems to
be the strongest feature of heredity
in the potato; but within every long
standing variety, such as Early Ohio
and Early Rose, there have arisen
many sub-strains or stock variations
which show themselves to be trans
mittable. This is especially true %
regards the features of form, size
and number. -'o

falfa, as now is the time to begin for
next fall or next springs planting.
My friend, you cannot take a
poor piece of land and make it rich
in few hours just before planting
time. Many of you know this.
Neither can you make alfalfa ON
poor land. Now if you have been
close reader of The Progressive
Farmer for the last few months, you
want an acre in alfalfa very badly.
Now Is the Time to Begin.
Now is the time to begin for this
most wonderful crop. The best way
to get into this crop at once is to
move your garden next spring to a
new place and plant the old garden
in alfalfa.
But if you do not wish to move
your garden, the next quickest way
is to select an acre, the richest you
have near the lot now, and SOW it
down in peas, manuring the peas
highly. Put two bushels of peas to
the acre. Now during this summer
make the largest and best compost
heap you ever made and have it
ready to put on broadcast at sowing
time. When the peas are cut, you
should plow under the sedge and be
ready to spread on the manure and
plow under in September if the sea-
sons come right for sowing seed.
Should the seasons not come, you
have not lost anything by these two
plowings and manuring, but done
good work towards fixing your land
for the spring sowing
Put the Crop on Rich Land.
If you SOW in the spring (about
the last of March in this section),
be sure during the winter months to
throw out all the lot manure you
can on this land You cannot put
out too much; don't be afraid, but
you will be glad after you have
tried it.
Remember, it takes rich land down
here on our sandy loans to make
alfalfa. Don't put it out on any
other land but rich land, and you
will be more than pleased. It will
pay you better than any other crop
you can grow. Four years ago /
planted this clover and began to cut
it that same spring and have been
at it ever since, and it is far better
this spring than ever before. / have
it three feet high now and by the
