Bears are rather solitary, the

the experiment to rid himself OF
the dread disease of consumption.
The experiment was a tough one. but
successful. To-day he is sound and

Frequently a dropping flower Is
caused by some insect eating at the
roots. If the ground is dug with a
fork and solution of one pint of
tepid water and one teaspoonful of
mustard is poured in the flower crock,
the bugs will crawl to the surface and
can be killed.

small white worms which are inn

Owing to the early frosts for the last
two or three years our potatoes bave
been put into winter storage where
they sprouted and rotted and became
infected with disease which has been
developed later in our soils, so that our
stand of potatoes has been very mucn
less than in former years, and this new
disease is becoming more prevalent
over Colorado, and in the near future
will be menace to one of the most
profitable farm products of our valley.
which has enriched and made our
farmers more prosperous than any
other product that we grow.
1t was the innocent potato that en-
hanced the value of the farms in the
Roaring Fork Valley from $25 to $50
per acre to upwards of one hundred
dollars per acre. Our peculiar climate
and soil conditions will produce the
highest quality of potato now grown
dale potato is enquired for and has
sold for more money wherever they
have been shipped or introduced, than
the product of any other district in the
West. And by more practical and
scientific methods can be still further
improved. The great problem today
with our growers is TO protect this
wonderful crop from the ravages of
the diseases that are now threatening
this profitable industry. The Agricult-
ural College is sending its most
practical and scientific instructors to
this vicinity to assist and advise the
growers here. and will take up that
work in the field so as to give more
practical and easily understood demon
strations of all of the problems that
now confront us.
Professors Bennett and Knorr of the
college, whose life and work have been
in the beet fields of Germany and the
United States, will be with us during
this institute work.
The sugar beet is one of the greatest
factors in making our farmers the
most stable and wealthy that we know
of now. This has in all irrigated dis

increased so rapidly that all sections
are clamoring for more factories. Our
own state now leads all others, and one

duce two million dollars worth Of
sugar. What other crop or industry
could bring such an immense sum into
one countyf Wherever in Colorado su.
gar beets have been grown systemati
cally it has trebled farm values.
Prof Knorr is fully equipped in
scientific knowledge and practical
work in the field to be of great bene-
fit and value to all of our community.
These great questions not only are of
interest and money value to the
farmer who produces them, but to
every business interest, whether bank
er, merchant or mechanic. or the mln
that works for wages
The great problems in this new EN-
pire are so little known. Our pioneer
farmers have been so busy making
homes and acquiring more land they
have had little time to study the dis
eases that are liable to destroy our
future crops and profits (Grubb is
trying to scare you.) They have not
had time to study the diseases that
will iniure future crops and profits,
soil culture. crop rotation nor ferti-
lizers that will be their capital and
resources of the future. 1t will be n
great saving for the farmer to attend
the institute meeting Aug. "a, at which
the Agricultural College will be practi-
cally brought to you in this line of
work.
Bring your families and lunch and
commune together and get the best
that your neighbor knows to add to
your own knowledge. 1t will make yon
more money and you will love your
neighbor better.
