viii Sing Praises Of Colorado.

Colorado Springs.-The movement
to have the Midland band advertise
Colorado on an elaborate scale was
given an impetus at a meeting of busi-
ness men at the chamber of commerce
at which Lee Haney, advertising agent
for the Colorado Midland, was present
and outlined plans in detail.
1t is proposed to raise $25,000 With
which to finance series of concerts
in the Middle West and Southern
states to cover period of ten weeks.
These concerts will be given with NOV
ing picture Accomplishments and lee
lures, and it is figured that the scheme
will prove the biggest boost that the
state has ever had.
Denver will be invited to cooper
ate with Colorado Springs in the pro-
ject. the object being to make it a
state affair. Should Denver decide to
cooperate the advertising will be con-
fined to the Pike S peak region.

A Rain of Quail.

Odessa.-The town of Nicolaieff has
suffered from a plague of quail. More
than 10000 birds, dead and alive, were
harvested in the town and suburbs af'
ter thunderstorm of exceptional vic
lence.
While the town was being illum-
mated by vivid lightning flashes. quail.
dead or alive, were observed falling
helplessly and fluttering in nearly ev-
cry street and courtyard. Men. women
and children Immediately became OBJ
livious to the deluge and the danger
of being struck by lightning. Even the
droschky drivers abandoned their
horses to join in the unturned skirts.
Of their long gaberdines.
The unusual violence of the storm
must have beaten up in a myriad flock
the great numbers of quail that haunt
the marshy and reedy reaches about
the confluence of the Boug and the
Ingul, which make peninsula Of Nice
,aieff. The birds were evidently ex-
hausted by their enforced flight. and
many Of them were apparently killed
by the lightning.

This is a True Story.

Denver.-Turnips weighing nineteen
pounds, rutabagas that tip the scales
at thirty pounds and potatoes as large
as loaf of bread are some of the
phenomenal products of the San Luis
valley in the vicinity Of Monte Vista
and Alamosa. C. A. Van Scoy of Den
yer, went through the valley recently
in an automobile and brought back
with him an exhibition of root crops
that would take first prize for size
at any fair. They are on exhibition
at the Nichols automobile garage, 1640
Broadway, and are attracting the at
tention of hundreds who pass that way
daily.
The turnips, some of which run to
twenty pounds, were grown from ordi-
nary seed, and are as sweet and
wholesome as the smaller variety. To
cut one of them quickly requires the
services of an ak or some equally
heavy instrument, because their bulk
is entirely too great for the ordinary
knife. The turnips are as large as
an Indiana pumpkin.
The potatoes are Of the White Pearl
variety, and were grown on the farm
OF c. P. Moss, seven miles south Of
Alamosa. They Iun ITS sacks to the
acre, and 12O potatoes fill sack. They
sell at eighty cents per hundred
weight. l1
Wheat grows to a height Of nine
feet, and all other crops are in pro-
portion. In the San Luis valley a few
years ago it was thought that no good
crops could be raised, but it has
proven to be one of the richest dis
tricts in the state. The field pea is
grown in large quantities for fatten-
ing yearly large number Of sheep
and hogs, which up to few years ago
