Farmers Institute on Wheels.

The Colorado Agricultural COL
lege's feeders special reached here
at IL Wednesday, and after
thirty-minute reception by Mayor
J. $. McMurtry, President H. G.
McCreery of rhe Holly Commercial
club, Col. Wiley of the sugar COM
pany and other prominent citizens
proceed by special train over the
Holly & Swink to Bristol. This
side trip was revelation to the
professors from the college.
Prof. Olin said: "The possibil-
tiles of the lower Arkansas valley
I regard as far greater than those
of any other valley in Colorado"
He thought there should be more
stock fed here, as we have an un-
limited supply of alfalfa, beettops
and natural hay and sufficient fer
tilizer would thus be produced to
preserve the efficiency of the soil
In the afternoon meeting was
held in the opero house, $50 farm
ers coming in on the special for

Summer Farmers Institutes.

The summer institute season
closed September rs with an in
stitute at Julesburg. The Colo
RADIO Agricultural college has
held seventy-three of these Farm
ers' institutes during the sum-
mer and they have been attend
ed by 1910 different people-an
average attendance of 232 per in
stitute.
The interest has been good at
all places. The reports at these
meetings show that Colorado
farmers are making very much
more money, per farmer, than in
most other sections of the Uni
ted States, yet they are eager for
information in any line that will
help them increase their profits.
Institutes have been held in
most of the counties of the state,
and the travelling necessary to at
tend them has impressed the col
Holly
lcge force with the enormous
area of tillable land in Colorado.
Nine institutes were held in
the territory covered by Grand,
Routt and Rio Blanco counties.
To attend these nine meetings,
each speaker had to travel 636
miles by railroad and 326 miles
by stage. The extreme length of
the area covered by these three
counties is I7s miles, and the ex-
trme width 90 miles. In two or
three years this section of the
state will be we'll provided with
railroad facilities and when it is
fully developed, agriculturally,
will market a greater value of
farm products than is now being
marketed by the whole state.
The object in holding the in
stitutes in this section was to
stimulate the farmers to demon
strate now what wonderful results
may be obtained, using the best

For Holly Factory.

The farmers of the Sunf1ower
valley in Las Animas county,
who have been Experimenting
with sugar beets the past season
are much elated over the results
obtained and have just closed a
contract with the factory at Hol-
" to handle their beets. This
years crop alone will bring re-
turns equal to the price of the
land, says the Democrat. Over
1000 acres will be sown next
year and a factory at Hoehne is
one of the possibilities before
next years crop is ready for
grinding.

Santa Fe Gains Nothing.

The taking of testimony in the
Santa Fe tax case was closed at
Denver Friday evening of last
week. County Attorney Lam
bright thinks the case is in very
good shape and that the county
will win. He thinks it possible
the court may hold the State
Board of Equalization's method
OF distributing the company's
value to be erroneous, and that
they should have distributed the
total value in Colorado by giving
to each county the proportion OF
total value in the state which the
mileage in the county bears to
the total mileage in the state.
This. however, would only make
a difference of few hundred dol
lars in the Santa Fe's taxes, says
Las Animas Democrat.

methods of farming, and then
when the railroads furnish an out
let to market, the settlement of
this great territory can be rapid.
At one institute in the north
western part of the state, every
family within a radius of IS
miles was represented, and yet
the attendance was only 100.
This shows how much room Col
orado has yet for good farmers.
On the trip through the south
western part of the state. to are
range for holding institutes, the
director of institutes travelled l.
s33 miles by rail, los miles by
stage and used the long distance
telephone to save 27o miles of
stage travel. Colorado is large
state.
At the institutes held along the
line of the Rock Island railroad,
the railroad had special car fill
ed with exhibits of all the crops
grown along the line. The insti-
tu ties were held, as usual, in
halls, and between sessions the
car was opened and all those at
tending the meeting were invited
to see the exhibits. This feature
added both to the interest and to
the value of the institute work,
and we should like to see all the
railroads in the state adopt the
same plan.
At the Antonito institute the
audience was chiefly made up of
Mexican farmers, many of them
owners of large tracts of land and
thousands of cattle and sheep.
All the lectures were given thru
a Spanish interpreter, as few in
the audience understood English.
At Ignacio three-fourths of the
audience were Indians. Two ia
nous chiefs gave farm talks in
Ute and all the lectures were
translated into Ute by an inter
prefer.
AT Fruita, the beet sugar COM
pany offered good prizes for the
best sugar beets, and the compe-
tition was keen.
At Holyoke, prizes were offer
ed for the best bread, cake and
pie made by boys and girls under
sixteen. There was strong COM
petition between the boys and
girls, and good exhibit.
At Carbondale the institute was
held in the fields, one-half day
being spent in potato fields and
one-half day in sugar beet fields.
AT more than half of the insti-
tutes, exhibits of farm products
were made, and at many places,
especially in the dry land section
of the state, the exhibits were so
varied an of SO gdod a quality
that they surprised even the peo-
pie who lived where the insti-
tutes were held.
One of the marked features
which the institute lecturers found
in their travels was the enormous
development that is under way

Suicides While Drunk.

Colorado Springs, Oct. p
Wild with drink, which filled him
with homicidal mania, Samuel
Mcdaniel, wealthy stockman
and clubman Of Colorado Springs
formerly of Denver, sent a bullet
crashing through his own brain,
after trying to kill two of his
best friends, and terrorizing the
fashionable esidence district of

and being planned for agricultur-
al lands in Colorado.
AS one example, 32 institutes
were held along the line of the
Denver & Rio Grande railway.
At low estimate, plans are be-
ing made to put over three mil
lion and half acres of land un-
der irrigation and cultivation in
the territory covered by these 32
meetings. When it is considered
that the land now in cultivation
in this same territory is yielding
crops every year worth from
twenty-five to one thousand dol
lars an acre, it will be seen how
great will be the value of the ag-
ricultural products along this
road alone in Colorado. and how
many new settlers we will need
to farm this area to its full lint.
The increase in settlement and
in area cultivated in the eastern
third of the state, where dry farm
ing is practiced, seems to be even
greater, and the country along
every railroad in the state shows
similar conditions.
