agricultural conditions OF our state.
Farmers who judiciously select their
seed will practice careful cultural
methods, crop rotations and use farm
manures for maintaining soil fertility.
Grain growers OF Colorado should not
seek to develop too rapidly but study
carefully, move cautiously and work
shoulder to shoulder for lasting. per-
manent seed and grain improvement for
Colorado.
The Association has issued very in
teresting bulletin giving methods Of seed
testing and selection by which means
farm crops can be improved. Also are
some methods given for the treatment OF
grain to prevent smut.
Those interested in this movement
should write Il. Knorr, Secretary of the
State Association, Fort Collins, Colora-
do, for rules and regulations which have
just been issued, enclosing stamp to pre-
pay postage.

From Our Special Correspondent.
Feb. 27.-County Commissioner b. A..
Banta and Henry Russell Wray, secre-
tary OF the Colorado Springs Chamber
Of Commerce, attended a meeting OF the
farmers at Peyton Monday night and as
sisted in perfecting an organization for
the purpose of advertising the lands OF
this district. Another matter which was
discussed and in which the new organ
ization will cooperate with the business
men OF the county seat is turning the
tide of business from this section to Col
orado Springs. In the past large part
of the wholesale trade from this district
has been going to eastern points and
Denver, but, according to the plans nr-
ranged Monday night, Colorado Springs
will get the benefit OF this trade in the
future, as it is properly tributary to this
section. AS was pointed out at the meet
ing there are better markets at Colorado
Springs both for selling produce and
buying goods than can be found either
| in the east or anywhere else in the state.
1t is expected that the meeting will
prove of mutual benefit to the merchants
of the Spring and to the business men
and farmers OF Peyton and vicinity.
Cards have been received announcing
the marriage of Miss Vera Blue, daugh-
ter of Mr.. and Mrs. John Blue of Peyton,
to Mr.. William Ricketts, OF Rivera, Cal,
in Los Angeles, Wednesday, Feb. 20 Mr..
and Mrs. Ricketts, will visit Colorado in

The Colorado Grain and Seed Crow
ers' Association.

The Association is organized to en-
courage the general use OF improved
seed with view to largely increasing
the yield and improving the quality of
the grain crops of Colorado.
The varying attitudes in Colorado
from 1000 to 5000 feet and above, where
crops are being grown, require the de-
velopment of strains of seed acclimated
and adapted to the particular environ
ment where grown. A well organized
and concerted work can be done through
an Association of this kind, which will
have a permanent and positive value to
the state.
The factors which induce yield and
quality of crops are: Seed, soil, climatic
conditions, time OF harvest, care of crop
fungous diseases and insect pests. With
the exception of climatic conditions, all
these factors are under the control OF
the farmer. BY exercising the necessary
care in seed selection, in cultivation ol
soil, improving its physical condition
and its store of available plant food, il
is possible to materially increase the
yield and improve the quality OF ouf
grams.
Improved varieties of grain are most
likely to make larger demands on soil for
plant food, so large yields and good
quality grain can not be reasonably ex.
pected from poor soil even with good
seed. Thus we see "seed and soil stand
in the same relation in crop production
as breeding and feeding in live stock
productions" both are required for salts
factory and permanently good results.
Experience and experiments have
shown that the yield per acre of all kinds
of farm crops can be increased and the
quality greatly improved by systematic
intelligent seed selection and the careful
growing OF these crops year by year
Vigor Of growth and productiveness in
individual plants are transmitted from
these mother plants to their progency il
succeeding crops according to the same
principles as desirable characteristics
are transmitted to animals from theil
ancestors.
We believe that the promotion OF gooc
seed grain through an Association like
this will be a medium for improving th,

M0YER TO BE RELEASED.
Judge Wood Fixes Prisoners Bond al
&25 OOO

Boise, Ida., July 30.-Charles H.
Meyer, president Of the Western Fed
Grafton Of Miners, and co-defendant
with William D. Haywood, who was
acquitted Sunday of the murder of
Former Governor Steunenberg, was Or
dered released on $4,000 bail by
Judge Wood, who presided at the Hay
wood trial. The attorneys for the
federation expected to have the bond
ready Monday night but the arrange
ments had not been completed at a
late hour and Meyer passed the night
in Jail. He soon will be released and
will leave at once for Denver, his
home.
No application for bail was made in
the case Of George A. Pettibone, the
third Of the alleged conspirators, but
the motion was made for speedy
trial and his case was set down for
Tuesday, Oct. I. Counsel intimated
that they might apply for bond for
Pettibone later but it is not believed
that the states attorneys will consent.
It has been generally claimed that the
state has more discriminating evidence
against Pettibone than against any of
the others, while it has been generally
conceded that the case against Meyer

HAYWOOD IS Innocent
Found Not Guilty Of Conspiring
to Kill Steunenberg.
JURY OUT TwENTY.0NE HOURS
Appeared to Be DeadIocked at Ten to
Two for AcquittaI. but Finally
Reached an Agreement.

Boise, Ida, July 29.-After twenty
one hours deliberation the jury in the
trial Of William D. Haywood, secre-
tary treasurer of the Western Fedora
ton of Miners, on trial for conspiracy
in the murder of former Governor
Frank Steunenberg, returned q verdict
Of not guilty.
The probability of q verdict of &C.
quittal had been freely predicted since
Judge Fremont Wood read his charge,
which was regarded as strongly favor
ing the defense.
1t was also freely predicted that in
the event of Haywood's acquittal the
state would abandon the prosecution
of his associates, Charles H. Meyer,
the president Of the federation, and
George A. Pettibone of Denver. State.
ments from counsel and from Gov.
ernor Gooding dispel this view of the
situation.
Harry Orchard. the self-confessed
murderer of Governor Steunenberg
and the witness upon whom the state
chiefly relied to prove its claim of a
conspiracy, when told that Haywood
had been acquitted, said:
We'll, have done my duty. l have
told the truth. could do no more.
am ready to take any punishment that
may be melted out to me for my crime
and the sooner it comes the better.",
The jury, which at first had been
divided 8 to and then seemed dead
locked at 10 TO 2, finally came to an
agreement.
Haywood wept when the verdict was
rendered. Tears welled to the eyes
OF the man who during the eighty days
of his trial had sat with stolid inlif-
ference written upon every feature.
Influenced by Judges Charge.
Inquiry among the jurors after their
dismissal revealed some of the ele-
ments entering into their decision
Samuel D. Gilman, the last man to be
won over to the defense, declared that
a majority of the men seemed con.
vinced that the general tone of the
courts instructions indicated that the
defendant should be freed.
Finley Mclean, who voted constant
ly for acquittal from the first, declared
that the judges instructions seemed
to settle all doubt as to the course he
should take.
Juror James Robertson, the good
natured Scotchman at whose home in
Boise Governor Steunenberg boarded
for more than two years, said:
Il could not reconcile myself to vot.
ing any other way than with the de-
tense from the very first and think
that under the law and the evidence
there was nothing else for us to do.
The last fellow who held out against
acQuittal belongs to the same fraternal
organization that I do. There was
some talk of a compromise on a Sec
ond degree verdict, but we would not
stand for that-it either had to be
acQuittal or l would have stayed there
forever"
Juror Samuel F. Russell, the senior
member of the panel, said:
There was nothing against Hay
wood but suspicion and inference and
when we came to dovetail the evil
dence in the juryroom somehow it did
not fit."

No Signs Of Trouble on North

woRkmEN GIVEN PROTECTION
Deputies Armed With Long Range
Rifles on Guard Against Antici-
pated Attacks by Strikers.

A correspondent at Hibbing has tel
ephoned the following to Duluth as to
strike conditions in that district:
On all sides the stripping and min
ing operations are being resumed and
not sign of trouble is reported.
At all of the mines deputies armed
with long range rifles occupy advan-
tageous positions on stumps and piles
of ore or rubbish and the men who are
at work are assured Of ample protec.
ton against the strikers, although the
latter have as yet made no hostile
demonstrations of any nature.
The Hibbing district is the center
Of activity. At Eveleth the companies
are apparently awaiting the outcome
of the action taken at Hibbing and
none of the mines were opened. The
Drake & Stratton company, which is
stripping at the Fayal mine, received
word from the East to wait until mat
tiers had been settled before resuming
work.
At the Morris mine stripping opera
tons are in full blast, with full crew
of men, and the Sellers mine is in the
same position.
Ore is being taken from the Laura.
Webb, Albany, Nashua and Winifred
mines. The crews working at these
mines have not their full complement
Of men. Stripping operations have
also been resumed at other mines.
In the Chisholm district stripping
operations are in full blast at the
Munroe Tenner mine and underground
mining is also in full swing.
The Glen mine is also working and
at the Clark mine thirty men were put
to work at No. shaft. The Myers is
also working at it's underground tun-
nels.
The Robert-Kingston company has
full crews working on it's stripping
operations at the Pittsburg mine and
at the Shenango a good sized crew is
working underground.
