OFFICIAL ACCOUNT.
After the First Charge Moors Broke
 and Fled.

Tangier, August 6-The following off cial account of the fighting at Casa Blan- ca has been given out by the French charge d'affaires here:
 Authorization to land men and pro- tect the French consulate was given by the Moorish authorities, but when our sailors went ashore Sunday morning, they were fired upon. Six men and an officer were wounded. The party charged with bayonets and the Moors broke and fled. leaving many behind. The exact number of killed is not known.
 Upon arrival at the consulate, tho party sisnalled to the cruiser Galilee and as the Spanish cruiser Don Alvaro dc Bazan had sent q party ashore to pro- tect the Spanish consulate, the Galilee opened fire on the native quarters of the city.
 ''The other Moorish battery on the for tifications responded with two blank shots, but the cruiser Du Chiyala here ar rived, and soon silenced this battery, drove off the gunners and destroyed 1t. The Galilee and the Du Chiyala con tinued to shell the city, the beach and surrounding villages, wherever the Kaby- les assembled. The craftsmanship was good and many Kabyles were killed. The main city of Casa Blanca was not dam aged

AGRICULTURAL
COLORADO AGRICULTURE.

Several weeks ago l started to give our readers something of the wonderful de- velopment that has been going on in the agricultural interests of Colorado, but l only fairly got started when l was called to something else. As stated in that article, it is revelation to see and ts learn something of the high class farming now being carried on in the Centennial State. The agricultural and horticultural interests of the state are quite varied. Colorado is practically the home Of the f,urum wheats. Here the climate and soil seem to bring out the highest qualities Of this new variety of wheat. few years aeo only few hundred bushels of seed of this wheat was introduced into our semi-arid or dry section. Last year there were over fifty million bushels of this wheat grown in the United States. Col orado nroduces the finest quality of this wheat that I have found In all my trav- els.
 Barley.
 When if comes to high grade barley, Colorado stands at the front and is not only producing the highest grades and largest yields. but is also producing a barley that goes into balanced ration for sheep, hogs and the dairy COW. The pork hackers are now paying premium of from 30 to 90 cents per hundred more for pork produced from peas and barley.

but the demand for the seed of this Burrell canteloupe has grown so great that MT Burrell nas bought and Is put ting 800 acres of fine land Tn high state of cultivation under irrigation on which he will grow seed of thls cante- loupe. The whole 500 acres will be de- voted to the seed growing business.
 With such n great variety of crops it is no wonder that the farmers of the state boast of the fact that while the mines of he state in he year 1906 yielded S4L 900 GOO that the value of the crops of the state, in their Infancy in agricul- ture and horticulture. gave the sum of SS2 000 000 so We see that the centennial state is not only the playground of the American people, not only a state of mines. but in addition to all these she s fast forging to the front and will soon be numbered among the list of our great agricultural states.
 Visitors Welcomed.
 The reader may wonder what 1t Is that is bringing Colorado to the front so fast. This is due in n large measure, to the pride. energy and public spirit of her citizens They lose no opportunity for building up their state and her interests. The stranger coming into their state is made to feel that he Is welcome and ha is treated royalty until he proves him self unworthy the respect and confidence of the people. Be it said, to the credit of the people of the state, that larger per cent of the people attended my lee lures than 1 have ever had in my home state during my lecture work. Families left their farms and came for miles and in every case they expressed themselves as being well paid for coming.
 At the Agricultural College.
 ,rba officia1s of the State A Horticultural college invited me to visit their school and to make their students an address which l did, talking to several hundred young men and ladies' The students were permitted to visit and inspect our exhibit car, which proved nor only interesting but a source of much information.
 It was impossible to leave the state without leaving a promise that I would again visit the state and hold series Of lectures. This I intend doing next sum mer. unless prohibited ny unforeseen cir cumstances.

 Good timers?"
 Well, I couldn't set her more accurate ly unless I used a microscope"
 How long since 1t has been set?' "It's going on a year now"
 You don't sayi And hasn't been regu- lated or reset?"
 Nope"

 Well, well! But. fortunately. you don't have to have anything done to 1t often I think you said it was going on year since you had any work done on it?'
 Yes"
 Just for curiosity, about how long has 1t been since 1t was set?''

 "It is now just S2 a. m. At I0:5S I set it by the clock we just passed. My wife gave 9S cents for it day before yesterday at a department store, and yesterday dropped it off from an elevated railway station. I thought the fall might put it out of commission, but it seems to be do- ing all right"

Hungarian Bronze Grass.

Hungarian Brome Grass.
 This grass grows luxuriantly in the state wherever 1t has had q chance to do so. I took a five mile auto ride to see a two hundred acre field of Bromus 1ner- mus growing without irrigation This field was a grand sight. The grass was green and in fine grazing condition. Ihe owner had his dairy cows running at large on the grass and stated that his cows were giving twenty eight quarts or milk per day. This is seven gallons or equal to fifty-eight pounds of milk per day. Such milk would easily test per cent butter fat, which would be equal to about three pounds of butter per COW per day. Brome grass Is now being sown extensively in the state. It IS sowh alone and also with other grasses. common practice is to SOW bromus and alfalfa together for pasture.
 cantaloupes.
 Colorado is world famous for its fine canteloupes and it would be almost inan- cial suicide to attempt selling any but Rockyford canteloupes whether they ever saw Rockyford or not. Many of our markets annually sell Rockyford cante- loupes long before the seed are even planted at Rockyford A friend of mine commenced several years ago To perfect a certain type of this now famous cante- loupe. After years of patient toll and experiments he has been able to place on the market q variety of such high merit that the leading hotels of the coun- try want and will pay much higher price for Burrells improved RocSyford than they will for any other canteloupe now on the market. The Fred Harvey Dining Car and Hotel company have contract with MT Burrel for his fine cnnteioupes for their dining ears and . railroad eating houses Not only this'
