Gov. Cummins Pointed Comment.

The governor of Iowa, who is deliv-
ering chautauqua lectures in Colorado,
referred to the Haywood trial in an in
terview as follows:
Il did not follow the testimony
closely enough to learn the exact legal
effect of it. but l feel sure that the
mass of the people believe, at last, that
the federation shows too much tendency
to sympathize with violence, even
though its officers may not have taken
part in it. There is general feeling
that all organizations must be peaceful
and law-abiding 1t is evident that
whether or not the officials of the fed
GRAFTON had any connection with the
crimes charged against them, they
made no effort to suppress such crimes,
and when some man in high position
was assassinated, they were inclined to
regard it as good thing.

INDIANS AT FARMERS INSTITUTE

| The Ute Indians on the agency at
Ignacio. Colorado, have their lands al
lotted to individuals and each fan y
lives on farm and operates it. When
the institute force of the Colorado AE-
ricultural College was planning tour
in the southwestern part of the state,
they were asked to hold one-day instl-
tute for these Indian farmers.
The institute was held July 10Th.
Hon. E. H. Grubb and Prof. H. NJ
Cottrell being the speakers from the
Colorado Agricultural College.
The institute was held in a beautiful
grove on the banks of the Los Pinos
river. The Indians decorated the
speakers stand with American flag,
and on the table was vase filled with
Columbines-the state flower.
The authorities at Washington telc-
graphed an order for special issue II
rations for picnic dinner for the instl-
tute, and the Indians were given the
beef from a 100 pound steer, 80
pounds of hard tack, 1000 pounds If
-four and all the coffee they could use.
The squaws spent the morning prepar-
ing the feast, while the men attended
the institute.
Surrounding the agency is one of the
best farming sections of the state, and
the white farmers and their families
from this section were invited to at
tend and over 100 were present at the
opening session.
When the morning session was called,
Chiefs Buckskin Charlie and Sevaro,
Agent Werner, Superintendent Dunn.
Interpreter Harry johnson, Mr.. Grubb
and Prof. Cottrell occupied seats on
the platform. The Indian farmers
took the front seats in the audience.
They were dressed in picturesque cos
tunes of red and blue, and many wore
ornamental feathers in their hair. The
white farmers, with their wives and
children, occupied the rear seats, the
ladies' and girls dressed in white. On
the grass around the seats reclined the
squaws with their many children. The
women were dressed in red and blue
and had bright colored blankets. EN-.

Tracy Wheeler and SkunkS.
PaunIa Newspaper


Considerable merriment has been oc-
casioned among the jokers this week.
Sunday evening Tracy Wheeler was
walking with his best girl and imagined
he had discovered skunk in the weeds
at the roadside. The young lady anX-
ious to participate in hunt, secured
gun from a neighbor and Tracy val
iantly blazed away. No movement at
tended the discharge and he tried it
ayain. Still no visible result followed
his craftsmanship. A third shot salts
fed him that if the skunk was not dead
it ought to be and closer investigation
was made. Then it developed that
three shots had been fired at a calf S
head which had been thrown in the
weeds. The story was too good and
leaked out. Tracy has had applications
for seventy-six gallons of skunk oil and
still the orders come by mail, telephone
and messenger Tracy has filled one
order sent by Arthur Craig. and hopes
to build up business that will enable
him to start skunk farm.

THE A.B.c's OF FARM DRAINAGE
(By LESLIE y. PAULL.l :


tBy LESLIE r. PAULLl
Some time in May there was brought
into the Office of the Delta County Fruit
Investigation a stool of young wheat
which as yet had shown no signs OF
heading out. When it was dug it, roots
together with the soil about them were
wrapped in a unny-sack which was
drawn in and tied about the stems.
This plant, supported by board. was
now placed in a shallow dish with its
root end immersed in about three inches
of water, and the whole set in west
window where considerable of the light
was shut off by an awning. During
several weeks the stool grew and
thrived there in spite of the unfavor-
able light, until it had gained about
twice its height when brought in, and
had made and ripened several heads OF
wheat.
The really significant thing about
this is that 1T DID THIS STANDING
IN THREE INCHES OF WATER.
Would it have done this in the field?
Would it not have yellowed, stopped
growing, and very promptly have died?
How is this seeming inconsistency to be
explained? The truth is that there was
no compact soil here shutting in the
roots and saturated with water to the
exclusion of the air. but the roots under
the burlap were more or less freely ex-
posed to the air, while the burlap itself
acted as a conductor of water and kept
them from drying out. Had this wheat
plant been placed where it would have
received little more light it could
scarcely have had more favorable con
ditions. There was warmth, good
water supply. good drainage,-GOOD
DRAINAGE, WITH ITS ROOTS I'M
MERSED IN WATER? Certainly. be-
cause good drainage does not mean
getting the water out, SO much as it
means getting the air in. If you could
have both the water and the air in the
soil at one and the same time there
would be little need of drainage so far
as the water is concerned.
THEN THE "A" OF FARM
DRAINAGE is THAT IF A SOIL
HAS NOT ENOUGH AIR IN IT
YOU MUST GET 1T IN. Getting the
excess of water out Is merely incident
al. If there is an excess. and you take
it out the air goes in to take its place.
Now, why is the air a necessity to
the roots of farm crops? We know
that some plants grow in mud and
water; prefer it, in fact. Such are
willows, water-cress, cat-tails, bul.
rushes and many, so-called weeds.
These are, as it happens, more or less
adapted to just these conditions. Will
lows on the bank of a stream frequently
have two kinds of roots-water roots
and land roots, each adapted to its own
surroundings. Most plants-and espec-
tally the plants and trees of the farmer
and orchardist, are adapted only to land
in a moderately moist condition. They
must breathe and, unlike the willows,
FOR THEM TO BREATHE THERE
MUST BE AN EXCESS OF AIR IN
THE SOIL. If one asks why they are
different, the only reply is-"it's the
nature of the beast.
(Cut this out and save it. The "B'
of farm drainage will be given n, 1t
week.

being beautifully decorated. In and
around the audience strolled Indian
dogs, innumerable and perfectly at
home. At the rear of the audience
were tied the ponies on which the In
dian men, women and children had rid
den to the institute, and in the dis
tance was tepe where an Indian fam
lily was campcd while attending the
! institute.
The opening address was made by
Chief Buckskin Charlie, famous as a
warrior and hunter throughout the
west. He urged better farming and
showed how profitable it would be for
the Indians.
Chief Sevaro followed. telling the
Indians how much help they could get
from the college speakers and insisting
that they follow the advice gived them.
Agent Werner spoke of the object of
the institute and gave information in
regard to the college men.
Mr.. Grubb described in plain Ian
guage the best methods of preparing
the soil for each of the crops grown by
the Indians; showed the advantage of
crop rotation, and told them simple
ways of seed breeding that would
largely increase the yields. His ad
dress was interpreted in Ute by Harry
johnson, and was frequently interrupt
ed by vigorous applause, the Indians
shouting in Ute, Good"
A picnic dinner followed.
After the dinner, Superintendent
Dunn had led out in front of the stage
an Indian pony, pair Of choice Per-
cheron mares and a good coach stallion.
Prof. Cottrell showed the difference in
the different types of horses before
him. told the Indians that they were
natural horsemen and could make
money and reputation by raising good
horses. He explained how to feed and
handle draft colts to make them weigh
the most and sell for the highest prices
when matured. This address was trans
lated INTO Ute and was followed with
the closest attention by the Indians.
The Indians then held council and
at its close heartily thanked the college
speakers and asked that when another
institute was held, talks be given on
proper methods of irrigating each crop
and of building better houses.
The Indians then adjourned and left
( the grounds, and an institute was held
for the white people present. MIR.
Grubb made talk on the advantages
of an education for the farmers and
Prof. Cottrell showed the profits from
hog raising in Colorado.
Miss Florence King who won second
prize in Prof. Olin's contest for largest
yield and best quality of wheat, told
the audience of her methods.
At the close of the institute, the In
dians wanted to furnish entertainment
for the college speakers and gave a
war dance in full costume. This was
. followed by several exciting horse
races.
