among many farmers Of giving chat
tel mortgages on crops to be grown
subsequent to the date of the mort
gage. Probably one-half of the bust
ness OF the stores of Weld county is
done with farmers who give as Sc
curity for their purchases mortgages
on future crops.
The case which brought about this
important decision was that of
Thomas W. Wilson, the Eaton
banker, against B. II. Florance,
sheriff of Weld county. Some time
ago the Park Merchandise company
obtained Judgment against o. c.
McWil]aims, which, with costs,
amounted to 81, 500. The merchan-
disc company placed the execution
IN the hands of the sheriff, who
levied upon a large amount of pota-
toes and other property in the posses
sion of 0. G. McWilliams and G. A.
McWilliams, his wife. The mer-
chandise company claimed the right
to proceed against the property of
the wife as we'll as the husband, for
the reason that judgment was upon
an account for merchandise sold and
used for family purposes.
Wilson brought suit against the
sheriff in replevin, claiming the
right to all property levied upon
under the chattel mortgage, executed
in April, 1905, given by G. A. Nc
Williams, the wife alone, to secure
payment to him of 81, 5OO Among
other property described in the mort
gage was so acres of potatoes, not
planted at the time of giving the
mortgage. The merchandise COM
pany contended that the mortgage
was not valid to said potatoes for the
reason that the potatoes were not in
existence at that time, and that they
should be sold under the execution
to satisfy its judgment.
Judge Garrigues held that the
mortgage was invalid for the reason
that the crop of potatoes was not
planted, and he decided the case in
favor of the plaintiff, Wilson. for
the reason that most of the indeht-
edness evidenced by the merchandise
company's Judgment was for goods
purchased at a time prior to the pas
sage of the law which makes the
property of the wife chargeable for
family expenses. The case has been
appealed.

ORGANIZE FARMERS
Agricultural College Planning
Large Association

Taking the initiative in a plan
that has been proposed often, but
never executed, the state agricul-
tural college is now working on a
scheme to combine the agricultural
interests of the state, organizing
them into one central body with
representatives, holding the office Of
vice presidents, in the various dis
tricts. The advantage and benefits
of such an organization will be
found in the annual conventions,
when every district in the state will
be represented by it's vice president,
and those residing within the boun-
daries of these territories will be
governed by the reports Of their re-
spective vice presidents who repre-
sented them at the meeting.
The entire work of organization
is being conducted under the super
vision of tine horticultural depart

ment Of the Agricultural college,
Fort Collins. For the last few
weeks Prof. W. Paddock and erof.
G. p. Gillette of that institution
have visited the fruit growing dis
tricts and have made good headway
In their work of organizing. In an
Interview recently, Prof. Paddock
speaking upon the subject of the or
ganization mentioned, said:
THE most advantageous feature
of such an organization is this: BY
way of explanation l will refer to
the four counties already organized
Garfield, Mesa, Montrose and Delta.
These four counties are brought into
one horticultural society and include
!, 200 fruit growers. Grand Junction
is the central point and the place Of
meeting. Now, when the annual
convention is held perhaps all Of
these members will not be able to
attend the meeting. OF course, as
many will be present as can conven-
iently leave their farms. But
whether they are there or not, the
different districts, each of which is
governed by vice president, will be
represented there. and his reports
will be made to all those members
In his particular territory.
Now, at one meeting of that
kind, as have explained, at least
1000 fruit growers are represented.
Compare this to the annual gather
ings that have been held for the last
few years in Denver. An attend
ance Of $50 at such a meeting year
after year is considered large, and
many of the members of the associa-
ton have no knowledge of what
business has been transacted, and
what progress was made by their
organization. With the organization
of the different counties. all will re-
ceive the same benefits, and there
will be other advantages that cannot
be secured under the old conditions. -
Prof. Paddock stated also that the
work of organization, since he and
Prof. Gillette have temporarily left
the field, is being pushed by E. P.
Taylor, graduate of the agricul-
tural college, who for the last three
years has been connected with the
state university of Illinois.

ARE GROWING
FARMERS INSTITUTES TEN
DENCY OF TIMES
Scientific Agricultural Methods
Extending to all Parts of
the World-U. S. in
the Lead

Progress in agricultural develop
ment and in the extension of scien-
tific principles to agricultural
methods, although most marked in
America during the past decade, has
not by any means been confined to
this country.
Starting in Italy some years ago,
the movement for an international
institute of agriculture has spread
from country to country, until now
it bids fair to be realized. At a
conference held at Rome about a
year ago the project was favored, and
now it is reported that the following
nations, through their rulers or
presidents, have agreed to stand by
the international institute of agri-
culture:
Argentina, Belgium, Bulgaria,
Cuba, Denmark, Ecuador, France,
Greece, Italy, Japan, Luxembourg,
Mexico, Montenegro, Holland, Per-
sia, Portugal, Peru, Russia, Rou-
mania, San Domingo, Sweden, Ser
via, Switzerland, Spain, San Saliva
dor and the United States.
1t is claimed that special char
acteristic of modern agricultural is
it's internationalism. This institute
will aim at regulating, promoting
and generalizing this tendency.
The international trend Of agrlcul-
ture is an outcome of the trend to-
ward the unicaiition of industrial
interests generally throughout the
world. At the present stage of in
dustrial development it has become
apparent that every industry has a
world wide community of interest
which can be best served through
due recognition of the fact.
One of the principal duties of the
institute will be to provide for the
rapid and general diffusion of know
ledge of technical improvements in
the economies of production. 1t is
claimed that if this branch of its
work will be organized new observa
tion on any branch of farming made,
say in Holland or Denmark, will be
Immediately published III all parts
of the world, and straightway thou
sands of experts will be at work de-
ducing therefrom further conclusions
and inventions valuable to mankind.
When the numberless branches of
agriculture, the systems for increas-
ing the yield, now of one crop, now
of another, the treatment of the dis
eases of cattle and plants, and the
manufacture of new machinery, are
all considered, both the intricacy
and the value of the services which
the institute could render in this
direction are at once apparent.
But more important than this
would be the information thereby
made accessible as to the distribu-
ton of products. The general con-
ditionS of the various crops in each
country would be made available
with fair degree Of percision.

numbi Enos Mills lecture on
"Mou Climbing and Outdoor
Life" and the lecture by Frederick
Paxson on Arbitration. Owing
to their success the club was retained
for the Turner art exhibit which
was shown in the west wing of tile
high school building when 200 pic
lures were exhibited. The school
realized SS6 from this exhibit to be
used for pictures for the different
rooms and the end is not yet. The
outgrowth of the exhibit was an
aroused interest in artistic school
decorations. CHM and company
through Mr.. Burkhert, their Denver
agent, presented the high school
with a picture. The club women
are also taking up the question of
placing pictures in the school rooms.

nent organization with Prof. F. NJ.

Speaking of booster clubs, there
is another one in Greeley which de-
serves mention. Two years ago Miss
Grace Filkins, principal of the third
and fourth grades of the Meeker
school, got the children interested in
self improvement and school i'm
provement. Following is their
creed: ''We believe in cleanliness
and good order for ourselves and
about our grounds and in order to
have these we have organized our
selves into society which is known
as the Meeker Building improvement
Society,"
Almost every child in the three
rooms of third graders and four
rooms of fourth graders is member
Of the society. Each room has
president, secretary and chairman
and new officers are appointed every
two weeks, when the children as
semble in front of the building for
an open air meeting. The chairman
of each room gives the items of the
work accomplished to the secretary.
They write them ont and the reports
are read by the presidents. The
children are all so interested in the
work and the result has been an I'M
proyement not only in the appear
ance and manner Of the children but
also in the school grounds and build
ing.
Until this winter they have been
content with little things. Their
first venture at anything greater was
the play, katie in Gooseland

few weeks ago by the members.

CALL OF SPRINGTIME
Something Unfathomable in It's
Mystic Power

In any attempt to analyZe the
feeling which inevitably comes to
men and women with the advent of
spring it is difficult to account for
its origin. 1t is not occasioned by
the knowledge that the month of
February has slipped into March,
the first of the spring months. 1t
cannot be traced to the warmth in
tn sunshine or even the advent of
the spring robin or bluebird. 1t is
feeling that comes not from obser-
vation of things external, but from
something tugging at ones heart
strings.
1t was Herbert Spencer who de-
clared that there is an infinite and
eternal energy from which all things
proceed. In other words, there is a
supreme life in nature from which
comes every form of life. In the
eyes of modern science the matter of
which human bodies are composed Is
the same as that found in the min
eral vegetable and lower forms of
the animal kindgom, and one life
thrills through all, differing in each
only in the degree of its manipula-
tion.
There are many men and women
today in whom, under the light of
this teaching of science, the first
rose of the springtime, the first fruit
of the autumn, singing brook, a
baby's face, mothers love, vast
scientific fact, the marvellous break
ing of spiritual forces into an ordi-
preston too sacred and profound for
utterance. To these men and women
there is one nature, one life, one
unbroken unity throughout the uni
verse. These with the advent of the
spring interpret the call Of the
springtime which they feel tugging
at their heartstrings as the same
urge which is now present in the
tree and the plant, and which in a
few short weeks will result in bud
and leaf and flower. 1t is that in
each which, could it find voice.

MAKING A BONANZA.
That Is What Is Being Done at the
Columbus Consolidated.

After a day spent underground at the
Columbus Consolidated, c. X. Mccormick
vice president of the company, was at his
desk again yesterday. He was most IA
Vorably impressed with the Roadway in
development that had taken place during
his three months absence and said the
mine was looking fine. He appreciates the
fact, however, that a great deal of work
is yet to be done in the Columbus Con-
solidated before it can be classed as d
really great mine.
"A wonderful amount of really SPLEEN
did ore has already been opened up in
the property" said Mr.. Mccormick, 'but
ii is nothing as compared with what it
will be when we have to carry out the
plan of campaign that has been under
full Roadway for a couple of years past
known ore shoots are being reached out
for at several points in the mine and in
the levels below the tunnel, the 800. for
instance, we have got to cut back 800 feet
or more to get into the great bodies of
ore first encountered IN the mine. Be
sides that the workings have got to be
put down deeper and many new levels
established We are fortunate in having
the ore and in knowing Just where TO do
all this work, but II takes time. As
matter of fact, IL takes time anywhere to
make great mine, and il is Just as true
that il is not often that companies have
the same assurances of success as has
the Columbus Consolidated. The mill runs
on ore that average about Sl4 to the ton
in value and the crude ore shipped and
or which the mine contains big reserves,
is worth better than $50 ton. PrOspec-
tIvely the Columbus Consolidated is a

UTAH'S ANTHONY MINE.
Now Shipping Rich Ore-Planning
for the Future.

The fact is not generally known that
Utah has big antimOny mine, nor is it
known that it is in operation and produc-
ing steadily. 1t was originally owned by
w. S. GOdbe and Benjamin Hampton and
the latter is now in possession of the en-
the property. 1t is located on Coyote creek
five miles east of Coyote, Garfield coun-
~, and forty miles east of south from
MarysVale, along the Sewer river of which
Coyote creek is the chief tributary. Ore
is being shipped to MarysVale by leasers
that averages 80 per cent anthony and
Tor which they receive $50 a ton, delivered
at the point named.
The ore, Mr.. Hampton states, occurs as
a blanket deposit in sandstone and varies
in thickness from a few inches to five
or six feet thick. Taken as it comes the
ere will run from 10 to 10 per cent anti
mony, with no zinc, lead, arsenic or other
base ingredients to detract from its worth,
though occasional traces of gold are found
in the ore. The price of anthony has
doubled in value during the last year or
so and Mr.. Hampton believes that. while
it has only been possible heretofore to
ship the richest selected ore at profit
IL will not be long till a way of handling
the lOW-grade material will have been
found. He is now having tests made on
ores recently shipped for the purpose and,
II his expectations are realized the de-
posits will be called upon fer a heavy
tonnage by and by.
