Plow deep In the fall and shallow in

prSfessor, of Agriculture. We would
amend this by suggesting that the

also the length Of time ID elapse be-
fore the crop Is sown OF planted.
Flowing deep for wheat is all right II
the blowing Is done in, time SO the soil
will settle before seeding. but he who
plows deep one week and drills in his
wheat the next Is courting failure.
For English bluegrass. timothy or
any such crop, It il detriment to

The following bouquet was thrown
to Dolores by Editor Curry through
the columns Of the Telluride Journal,
and, Of course, we couldn't resist the
temptation to pick It up.
The Journal reporter has never found
= spot more nearly approaching the
ideal, from scenic and climatic stand
point than does the little village Of
Dolores, the principal town on the Rio
Grande Southern between Telluride
and Durango and the present connec-
tion with the great Montesuma valley.
The town lies In handsome park,

TO accommodate . city Of 1O0, 600 popu-
Ation with ample room still to spare
-environed on the east aud west by
bluffs and hills covered with verdure
aud . magnificent timber growth.
We have been there at all seasons
And have never encountered disagree
able, or even unpleasant weather. The
climate, mild and balmy, never goes to
extremes Of either, heat OF cold, and
the scenic surroundings are unsurpas-
sed anywhere.
The town too, Is destined to achieve
great commercial Importance. 1t Is
the only outlet for the vast agricultural
and fruit growing sections Of south
western Colorado and southeastern
Utah, and the mining districts Of the
Blue mountains and the lower Dolores
canon, where great activity is already
manifest.
It is the ideal place to establish q
permanent home; it is already pros

future is certainty.

Ever since his first visit to Dolores
