the crop. From these figures it
was easy to calculate that a small
garden patch could be made to
yield larger returns, even though
it does take at least years to ma
ture the crop.
The price of seeds and of young
plants are very high, but skillful
advertising brought ready sales.
And mostly from people who
could ill afford the money.
The experiment stations gener-
ally advised against going into the
scheme. and then not at all for
those who could not afford to lose
their time and money. The cor
respondents of the Colorado Agri-
cultural college have invariably
been advised to let the crop alone.
Not only for the reason that it was
thought doubtful if it could be
made to pay, but chiefly because
of adverse climatic conditions.
Many plantations We're started
in the eastern states, and when
the product began to be placed on
the market, it was not long before
the Chinese began to discrimi-
nate against the cultivated plants,
and prices fell.
The numerous insects and plant
diseases appeared which greatly
increased the difficulties of cul-
ture. Nevertheless II large amount
of the cultivated product has been
placed on the market. but the
growers now find that the Chinese
will no longer buy the goods. And
now, says the Rural New Yorker
in order to make IL home market
for ginseng, a patent medicine,
with cultivated gingseng as the
principal ingredient, is being wide
ly advertised.
This is another example of the
inevitable end of most of the nov
elites and money making schemes
which are annually offered to the
agricultural public. 1t should al
so serve as a warming to our peo-
pie to look with suspicion upon
anything out of the ordinary,
which is widely advertised. Some
one is bound to make money out
of the venture, but it is usually
the one who has charge of the first
distribution.

character in northern Colorado,
have become more or less badly
affected with the loco plant. About
"A month ago, an effort was made
to eradicate these dangerous plants
from the pastures by putting a
gang of men with weed spuds, by
means of which the tap root of
the plant was severed about an
inch under the surface of the
ground. 1t is interesting to OBJ
serve that at the present time this
method of eradicating the weed
seems to be very effective, as the
roots have not as yet sent out any
shoots. Upwards of 1000 acres
of pasture have been gone over
during the past few weeks at an
average of seven cents per acre.
Some few of the smaller plants
We're missed, but another careful
inspection little later will COM
pletely eradicate the loco.
Prof. II. NJ. Cottrell, of the
State Agricultural college, in
charge of the Farmers institutes
and extension wor'., has just re-
turned from two weeks trip in
eastern Col orado where he has
been lecturing to the farmers
along the Rock Island railway.
He gives an enthusiastic account
of the ten institutes held in the
various towns. Beginning June
9th; farmers institutes will be
held at Grand Lake, Sulphur
Springs, Kremmling, Yampa,
Steamboat Springs, Hayden,
Craig, Maybelle, Meeker and
Rifle. The demand upon the
college for scientific instruction
has become SO great that almost
the entire corps of teachers will de-
vote the summer months to ex-
tension work among the farmers,
fruit growers and stockmen of the
state.

Different Ways of Serving As
paraSuS.

Asparagus, which is one of the
first of the fresh vegetables to ap-
pear in the spring, possesses del
icate flavor and, when young and
tender, is very digestible. even by
invalids. The large white stalks
are most expensive and also most
delicious. The green asparagus
contains more bitter and resinous
principles than the white. Aspar-
agus has slightly diuretic prop
erty and it owes this influence to a
substance called asparagin, which
may be obtained in crystalline
form.
Asparagus belongs to the class
albuminolds. which consists of the
following: Albumen found in the
white of an egg, gluten of wheat,
myosin of meat, legumin of peas,
beans, and lentiles. and asparagin
which is found in quite "A number

dainty in asparagus, beets, beans

The following are some of the

Ginseng.

Among the many money-gettlng
schemes annually foisted upon the
public, few have been more Sc
ductive of possibilities of profit
in small way, and but few have
been more persistently advertised
than ginseng culture.
This plant is a native of. the
thick, moist forests of the eastern
states, where the Sang digger
has, for many years, earned a few
dollars in gathering the roots.
The dried product found ready
sale for export to China. The
root has small medicinal value,
but native superstition makes it
of value to the Chinese.
AS the forests began to disap-
pear, the supply of ginseng was
lessened: then it WAS that the pos
sibilities of cultivating the plant
was considered. A system of cul-
ture was worked out which in
volved growing the plants under
partial shade. the numbers Of

lege become, and so vital a part
does it play in the life of the stu
dent body that the advisory board
of that organization has asked Mr..
F. c. Mclaughlin, the popular
secretary of the college association
to take charge of the work for
another year. Largely through
Mr.. McLaughlin's efforts the mem
bership has increased from 30 last
year to 203 this year; while the
enrolment in Bible study classes
has increased from 10 to so; the
attendance at meetings from 100
to $50. The association had the
largest number of delegates from
state institutions in attendance at
the recent state convention of the
Y. NJ. G. A. which was held at
Canon City. The work of secur-
ing employment for students in
need of self help has been an i'm
portant feature of the association,
for more work being
received than there We're students
to fill the positions. The amount
OF money available for association
expenses the past year was S1OO
in student contributions. as COM
pared with 1925 last year. The
board of trustees of the college,
to show their appreciation of the
efforts of Mr.. Mclaughlin, have
not only added their commenda-
tion to the good accomplished,
but have materially aided the as
sociation in supplying funds.
The new veterinary department
at the agricultural college prom
ises to be an important feature of
the institution. a very high stand
ard will be maintained. A splen-
did faculty of instruction will be
secured in the near future. The
course will cover three years and
lead to the degree of Doctor of
Veterinary Science ID. V. s. InI
creating this department, the state
board of agriculture has exercised
its customary good judgment.
Probably no business or profession
offers better opportunities for
young men than that afforded by
the department of veterinary
science. The recent extention of t,
the meat inspection service of the
has created a demand
for large number of qualified
with salaries begin
ming at Sl.4O0 per annum. There
is also IA demand in conjunction
with state experiment stations, as
instructors in agricultural colleges,
in the army and in general prac-
tice. The veterinarian profession
is not SO crowded as most of the
other professions. At the present
time the government is unable to
get enough qualified veterinarians
to fill positions demanding i'm
service.

Potato Land and Preparation.

fOtdt0 Lana ana ffepdfatlOn.
Potatoes may be grown on near
ly any kind of soil A deep, sandy
loan is probably the best adapted
to potato growing, though the
. heavy soils in favorable seasons
produce equally as well. Subsoil
conditions have possibly more in
tiuences over the crop than does
the soil. If the water table is
close to the surface, trouble from
diseases is apt to result. Heavy,
impenetrable subsoils sometimes
bring about the same conditions
because of surface water being
held from draining away. The
best subsoil, especially for heavy
soils that are irrigated, is coarse
gravel that allows free under
drainage.
Success OF failure in potato
growing often depends upon the
preparation of the soil. If raw
prairie land is to be used, it should
be broken up the year previous,
narrowed and allowed to lie fallow
one season to kill and decay the
turf. The following spring this
land should be plowed again at a
greater depth. This system will
put the land in the finest kind of
condition for crop.
The best crops of potatoes in
the Colorado potato growing dis
tricts are those that have been pre-
ceded by alfalfa for three or four
years. Where alfalfa land is to be
planted, the blowing is to be done
the latter part of April or early
May. A heavy fourteen or
sixteen inch breaking plow is
used with from four to six horses
for this purpose. These plows
have wide shear so as to cut off
all the alfalfa roots and the land
is broken to an average depth of
eight inches. The method fol-
lowed at tine agricultural college
is to follow the pillow with the har-
row after each half days plowing.
This establishes a soil mulch and
prevents loss of moisture by evap-
Grafton. After this the land is
left to lie fallow for about one
month till time for planting. This
gives the alfalfa chance to rot
and make the plant food in it
available for the coming crop. If
rains occur during this time, the
harrow is used as soon as the land
is dry enough to stir, SO as to pre-
vent the formation of crust and
re-establish the soil mulch. Be-
fore planting, Il leveler is used if
the land surface has little ridges
or hollows in it.
Newcomers to the irrigated dis
tricts often make the mistake of
neglecting this. and trouble in ir-
rigation always follows, as depres-
sions fill with water and drown
out the plants, while the ridges
make it difficult to get the water
over the field. Where potatoes
follow potatoes, as is the practice
after alfalfa is broken up, the
preparation of the land is more
simple. In this case the plowing
can be done with any plow and
two or three horses, and need not
be done till time to plant the crop.
