Colorado Crop Report.

Denver, Aug. 4.-The weekly crop re-
port summary for the period ending July
31st, shows generally favorable condi-
tions for fruits and grains throughout
the state. 1t says:
The temperature has been slightly
higher than normal in the Grand and
Uncompahgre valleys, but on the east
ern slope and in the southern counties
it has averaged about two degrees be-
low normal. Showers have been gen.
eral, with heavy falls in localities on
the eastern slope, the reports indicat-
ing that the rainfall has been in excess
OF the weekly normal, except in the
Grand and Uncompahgre valleys and
the Northwestern counties. The harN
vesting of winter wheat is progressing
satisfactorily; threshing has begun In
Mesa county, the yield being better
than was expected. Spring wheat is
ripening in many localities; 1t is being
harvested in Larimer, Weld, Washing
ton and Otero counties. The harvest
of rye and barley is under way. Oats
are ripering in the eastern counties.
Corn, speltz and macaroni wheat are
making good growth. The general con-
dition of sugar beets is good. Potatoes,
as a rule, are doing well. The second
crop of alfalfa is nearly ready to cut;
1t has been cut at Fowler, Otero
county; grasshoppers have damaged
the crop at Carlton, Prowers county.
The cutting of native hay is nearly gen.
eral, and the crop is said to be heavy.
The apple crop is reported to be good
in the southeastern portion of Lari-
mer county. Raspberries are in abun-
dance in the southern portion of Boul-
DER county, but orchard fruit is falling;
at Highland Lake, Weld county, the
early fruit crop is good. Recent rains
have improved the ranges. In eastern
and north-central counties water for ir-
rIgation is generally adequate, but ip
southern and western counties the sup
ply is becoming short.

The Sugar Beet Crop.

According to The Beet Sugar Ga
Iette, the latest estimates show that
Colorado leads all of the states in
sugar beet acreage this year. the total
area planted in this crop being 96,200
acres. 1t is predicted that the 1905
crop will aggregate $4,000 long tons
of beets. sufficient to make $4,000
long tons of sugar. Michigan and Cal
ifornia come next in acreage. but they
are far below Colorado in the esti-
mated yield, experts placing Michigan
nearly one-half and California one
third below this state.
Colorado will have three more beet
sugar factories this year than in 1904.
There is a new plant at Holly with a,
capacity of coo tons daily, 50D-ton
plant at Lamar which has been moved
10 that place from Norfolk. Nebraska,
and a 600-ton plant at Sterling, which
was brought there from Saginaw.
Michigan. This moving of beet sugar
factories from eastern states to Colo
rado is significant, for 1t shows the
greater possibilities of the industry
here. Both Michigan and Nebraska
were engaged in beet culture long be-
fore it was supposed that the vegeta-
sle could be profitably raised in Colo
RADIO, but now the Centennial Saate is
outdistancing them all.
Last year Colorado occupied first
place in the beet sugar production of
the United States. and crop conditions
are now SO favorable that 1t Is vir-
tually certain to be first this year in
the yield of beets also. Michigan still
leads in the number of factories, but
Colorado may be ahead in slicing ca
pacity because of the addition or
three new plants and the increased ca
pacity of the old ones.
Considering the short time since the
establishment of the industry in this
state, this is a remarkable showing.
Michigan and California have been
successful sugar producing states for
the last two decades. but 1t was only
six years ago that the first factory was
built in Colorado. 1t has been fully
proven that climatic and soil condi-
rions here are more favorable to beet
culture than they are in any other
state. SO it is only a matter of few
years until Colorado will be without a
rival-Colorado Springs Gazette.

THE FARM AND RANGE
Inoculating the Soil.

The Philadelphia Press publishes an
Interesting interview with Hon. James
Wilson, secretary Of agriculture.
What do you consider the most i'm
portant work, or the greatest discoV-
cry that has been made In the de-
partment during your administration?
he was asked.
Il have never considered that ques-
tion, because / have never Instituted
comparisons in the work OF our varl-
Gus bureaus" he replied.
The secretary relapsed into medi-
tative mood for a moment and CON
tinued:
Il think the work that has been OF
the greatest moment and will prove OF
the most lasting benefit to lne great
est number of men is the discovery
of means to promote the Introduction
of benign bacteria into the soil. In
other words, the socalled incubation
of the soil.
Il don't claim it as a discovery, but
this departments methods of making
practical the discovery is, l think, on
par with the discovery itself. A
number of years ago the TACT that soil
could be enriched and rendered pro-
ductive to much higher degree thah
was possible to any known methods OF
fertilization through the multiplication
of heterogeneous bacteri was discovered
by German professor. He associated
several persons with him and endeav-
ored to make a commercial commodity
of It. Repeated attempts ended in fail
ure, and ultimately the effort was
abandoned. because without the power
to make his discovery of universal
value the whole thing was worthless
from the agricultural or commercial
standpoint.
Our bureau of plant industry under
took the solution of the problem. We
srst produced the bacteria by cultiva-
ton. They are associated with legu-
minous plants. which draw their nitro
gen from the limitless supplies of the
atmosphere. Nitrogen is the indis-
pensable food of vegetable life. Re
peated experiments demonstrated that
this bacteria could be distributed
through the mails on a piece of cotton
In an envelope. That is what we are
doing to-day. and the wonderful results
accomplished in the increase of crops

Cactus Feeding Tests.

The United States Department of
Plant Industry has made arrangements
70 cooperate with the United States
Experiment Station and the Depart
ment of Agriculture at the New Mexico
College of Agriculture and Mechanic
Arts in extensive tests as to the food
value of the cacti of the arid regions.
Exhaustive experiments will be made
by feeding cattle, sheep and other ami
finals upon the cacti and the results
will be carefully watched and fully
tabulated. That these results will be
of the utmosts importance to New Mex
leo and other sections of the South
west there can be no doubt, and the
tests will be eagerly followed by the
stockmen throughout the country.
The college, under the direction of
the chemical and botanical depart
ment, last year made careful analysis
of many of the principal varieties of
the cacti found in the territory to de-
termine the amount and character of
the nutriment contained. The prac-
tical feeding. tests to be made this
winter under Professor ]. j. Vernon, in
cooperation with the government, will
be the final proof as to the value of the
plants for feeding purposes.

ACTION
OF CONGRESS.
No Foreign Ships TO be Bought
Until After Congress
Meets.
CASE

WASHINGTON, May 20.-The 18TH
milan canal commission will buy no
ships abroad, according to il decision
reached by the department, but will
charter the vessels necessary for the
needs of transportation until congress
has an opportunity TO take action and
give the commission u definite policy
on which 10 act.
If congress at the next session fails
to stipulate that the commission buy
American material and ships only, then
the commission will go ahead and buy
wherever it can secure the necessary
ships and materials cheapest.
In explanation of this decision it Is
announced further that the canal COM
mission, Secretary raft and the presi-
dent have no desire to TAX advantage
of congress by the existing clrcum-
stances and that the commission is per-
fectly willing to suspend action rela-
tive to the purchase of ships until con-
gfess has Il chance.
The canal commission has had In
view two 5000 ton vessels which could
be purchased abroad Immediately. The
necessity of having these ships and the
impossibility of securing American bot
toms caused the decision of Il few days
ago to buy foreign steamers. This plan
has now been changed, and vessels will
only be chartered. Whether the chart
cred vessels will be foreign or Ameri-
can bottoms depends upon the prices
asked.
Francis B. LOOMS, assistant secre-
tary of state. has filed with Secretary
Taft an answer to allegations contain
ed iii certain papers Mr.. Bowen has
offered as evidence and which Mr..
Bowen sent to Secretary Hay in Feb
ruary. With the presentation of Mr..
LOOMS statement the case will be
closed unless Mr.. Bowen desires to
make some answer to Mr.. Loomis'
latest communication. Mr.. Lo0mis'
statement will be sent to Mr.. Bowen
Immediately. Every document in the
case is to be copied. and when this has
been done Secretary Taft will. review
the ease and make his decision to the
president.
Il is probable that all the papers in
the case will be made public when the
investigation is closed and Il final de-
cision reached.
Two witnesses have been examined.
Senior Pastor Y Mora. for some years
local agent for the New York and Ber-
mudez Asphalt company at Caracas,
appeared before the president a few
days ago. He was sent to the White
House by Mr.. Bowen.
Henry Willard Bean of New York,
at one time general manager for the
asphalt company in Caracas, has made
a long statement to Secretary Taft.
Mr.. Bean was in Caracas in his capac-
lily as manager during the time when
the $4,000 check episode, occurred. 1t
is understood that his evidence is de-
cidedly in favor of Mr.. LOOMS, al
though the latter did not request to
have him summoned.

BADLY WOUNDED HE
LED HIS MEN IN THE
BATTLE.
Officer Was Shot in the Leg and Re-
ceived Bolo Slash in the
Left Side.

A copy of the Manila Times, printed
under the date of February 13, which
was received by the Evening States
man from Roy r. Painter, gives an
recently, in which Lieutenant M. c.
Gustin of Walla Wa1la was wounded.
Great praise is given the Walla Walla
officer for his actions in the battle.
The Times says:
Among the many plucky actions on
the part of government officers with
the forces fighting the savage fanatics
of Samar, not the least creditable is
that of Lieutenant Gustin, of the
scouts who took part in the encounter
with Pedro de la Cruz, one of the
most noted of the Pulajane leaders
in Samar, near Mount Yaua on the
Sd of this month. Gustin was twice
wounded, first with a bullet in the
leg, and then, as ne fell, with a saw
age bo1o slash in the left side. In
spite of his wounds Gustin showed his
grit by keeping at the head of his men
directing them throughout the fight,
not giving up until the fanatics had
retreated He was later carried in on
litter to the hospital in Calbayog,
where he now is. According to the
Times correspondent who tells of the
fight, the government forces had to
retire owing to the lack of ammuni-
of the Pulajanes, who numbered about
1900 men, 1900 of whom are armed
with bolos and lances and the remain
ing 100 with rifles.

MAX MULLER'S CHANGE,

The Famous Philologist sorely Need

When Max Muller, the famous philol-
og1st, first arrived in England in 1847.
at the invitation Of the East India COM
pany, he was often obliged to exercise
the greatest care in order to exc out his
somewhat limited income. Concerning
this period Of his life an interesting
story is told in THE Life and Letters
Of Muller" edited by his wife.
One day Muller left his spectacles,
which he had broken, to be mended at
a shop in the Strand, and on calling to
fetch them he laid down a sovereign to
pay for them. The shopman returned
him change for half a sovereign and
persisted that Muller had only given
him 10 shillings. It was in vain to re-
monstrate. The man only became
abusive to the unmistakable foreigner
in well worn coat, and Muller left the
shop, sadly aware that the missing 10
shillings represented several dinners
which he must give up.
Some days passed dinnerless when
one evening the man rushed out of the
shop as Muller was passing with 10
shillings in his hand, which he held out
to him.
ooh, sir,' he said, 81 have watched
for you several days. You were right.
