VISIT FROM
TRAFFIC men
Boosters For the Colorado Midland
Spend a Day in GIenwOod---
Take Drive Up Canon and
Enjoy Swim in Pool
DELIGHTED WITH THE EXPERIENCE

Glenwood was visited last Saturday
by the traffic agents of the Colorado
Midland railway and finer bunch of
visitors it would be hard to find The
business men of the town headed by
Mayor Schwarz, Elmer Lucas and c.
M. Keck, representing the city gov
ernment, called on the visitors at
their special car and extended to them
a hearty welcome. The men were
made to feel that they we're the guests
of the town and this feature they
seemed to greatly appreciate. The
morning was spent in calling on the
various business men of the town and
getting acquainted.
In the afternoon carriages were
procured and the men taken for a
short drive up the Grand canon. The
air was crisp and bracing and the
snow along the roadside and on the
mountain slopes gave one a decided
impression of winter. This but in
tensiied the pleasure of plunge in
the warm swimming pool whicn all
enjoyed at the close of the drive.
j. b. Davis. who halls from st.
Louis declared he would never be able
to make his Missouri friends believe
that he had participated in an outdoor
swim in December when the snow
covered the ground.
!. All were loud in their praise of
this special treat which they said was
feature which no other town could
give and therefore would be recorded
as one of the wonders of the trip.
In the evening many of the visitors
tested the vapor cave which they did
not hesitate to declare was wonderful
beyond their ability to describe.
AS stated last week this is an ex
cursion made up of the traffic men
who do business for the Midland road
and repre- sentaJives were here from
Pittsburg and San Francisco and
many intermediate points and the trip
was given by the road for the purpose
Of giving the men good time and
enabling them to familiarlze them
selves with the scenic beauties of the
country through which the line
passes The excursion was in charge
of H. G. Bush, traffic manager, c. FL
Speers, general passenger and ticket
agent, and Lee Haney, advertising
manager for the road.

parent as the numerous blackened
stems from which IA thick juice was
oozing plainly indicated bacterial
blight, and subsequent examination
has shown this to be the probable
cause of the trouble.
The first evidence of disease to be
noticed by the casual observer is a
short, weak and light colored growth
of the first crop, and the stems, even
over large field, may not average
over foot in height at the time the
first cutting is usually made. A close
examination shows that majority of
these stems are discolored, in fact.
nearly black, for portion of their
length, and drops of dried juice will
be found on many of them. Such
stems are also very brittle. and easily
broken. The disease apparently does
not kill many plants the first year,
but in time so many of the plants die
that the fields are useless.
The disease evidently runs its
course for the season with the first
crop and those plants which have
sufficient vigor make satisfactory
growth for the second and third cut
tings and little or no trace of blight
is seen during the remainder of the
season. But the following spriug a
renewal uf the outbreak may be ex
pected.
The plants begin to die after the
blight has been ABUNDANT for more
than one season as the decay appears
in the crowns of the plants and may
involve the tap root. The crown buds
are thus destroyed or the nutrition
may be so interfered with that the
plants die
Almost nothing is known of this
blight as yet, consequently remedial
measures cannot be discussed except
that it seems to be advantageous to
cut the first crop early and to delay
the date of the first irrigation until
after this time if possible
The horticultural section of the ex-
pertinent station solicits correspond
ence 18th anyone who has reason to
believe that this disease is present in
his fields. Means have been devised
for combating most plant diseases
and we believe that this one will be
no exception However, it is impor-
tant that it's nature be understood at
the earliest possible moment and one
of the important means to this end is
through the experience Of growers.
1t is for this reason that we invite CO.

A New Alfalfa Disease

Up to the present time the alfalfa
plant in Colorado has been practically
free from diseases. 1t is true that
leafspot is always presen. and in
damp situations a mldew often makes
its appearance. The former disease
causes considerable amount of dam
age in the aggregate but after all its
presence is not usually consid ered.
But recently bacterial blight has
appeared and in some localities it has
been quite destructive. The purpose
of this bulletin is to call attention to
this newer disease and through this
means get in touch with infected 10.
calities.
Complaints have come to the Elk,
pertinent Station from one locality for
the past three seasons of the dying out
of alfalfa plants iu the spring. The
growers could scarcely believe that the
trouble was due to winter injury
since it had not occurred before under
similar conditions. and since dead
plants were found alike on high and
on low land, and on wet and on dry
situations. The presence of numbers
of small mageots in the decayiug
crowns was the most popular theory
al dvanced to account for the dead
plants. On visiting the fields early
in the spring it was evident that in
ter injury could not have caused the
damage and that the maggots were
only present because of the decay and
not as cause of it,
In June of the present year, we had
the first opportunity Of inspecting the
fields during the growing season.
The cause Of the injury was now ap-

Appreciate His Services

That Congressman at large Frank
lin F. Brooks has great many warm
friends all over the state, is attested
by the following very complimentary
notice which appeared in the Prowers
County News, published at Lamar, of
the date of November 90:
''We want to call attention to the
WORK of Congressman Brooks. No
member of the Colorado delegation in
congress since the Centennial state
has been represented in Washington,
has rendered his constituents such val
uahle services as has Franklin E.
Brooks. Never in the history of the
state mas there been such an indefat-
igable worker Constant, quiet, able,
dignified and nnassuming, yet com
manding confidence and respect, Mr..
Brooks was power in Washington
and accomplished results. Not in
Denver alone, but he went out among
the people to ascertain the needs of
his constituents in every part of tie
state, not during session time only,
but gave his time during vacation.
The consensus of opinion through
out the state is that Mr.. Brooks Is the
logical man to send to the United
States senate from Colorado. There
is no man in the state who could or
would be so valuable to Colorado in
the upper house at Washington.
The people of this end of the val
ley are almost a unit for Mr.. Brooks,
and the coming legislature would do
itself proud in electing Mr.. Brooks. if
he can be induced to accept the
nlace.'

them, telling them that the reason
we study Latin is. that it is the root

some knowledge of which no
one could hope to be well versed
in good English, also that the
mental exercise that we re-
ceive when studying and memoriz-
ing the words is the best thing for the
development of the mind. Everyone
studying Latin knows that it takes
good hard thinking to translate Latin
text, aud this hard thinking is what
will aid us in making our way in the
world. So when one thinks about it,
Latin is one of the most beneficial
studies in the high school. Even
though person may never use it in
every day business, the results from
studying it will greatly aid us. no
matter what we undertake to do.
