Long before many American uni
versities established summer schools,
chautauqua stood for the thrifty use
of vacation days in pleasant and prof
table study. Like every other move
ment out of the common methods and
largely patronized by women, the
chautauquan work was derided by
conservative persons. 1t was the butt
OF jokes such as are now directed
against correspondence schools. It
was called the intellectual tea-party,"
the playground of culture" But 1t
slowly won respect, enlisted the serv-
ices Of good teachers and gave its
brief periods of enlightenment to
thousands of teachers too busy in
winter to think of much outside of
classroom routine. President Roose-
welt. who knows the country pretty
broadly. calls chautauquas "the most
American thing in America" This
summer there have been between
400 and 400 assemblies embodying the
chautauqua idea, besides the summer
schools and educational conventions,
which represent the same American
principle of diffusing culture and in
struction to the greatest possible
number of persons.

Policeman Becomes millionaire.

Denver-Unexpecte falling heir
to fortune estimated at $3.50, 900.
Captain of Detectives William A.
Loomis, one of the most popular mem
bers of the police force, is probably the
wealthiest police official in the United
States.
Captain Loomis, who has been at Ev-
erett, Washington for several weeks,
where he went to regain his health,
has written the good news to Detective
William Green, announcing the good
fortune which has befallen him. In
the letter Captain Loomis says that he
will now resign from the police de-
partment and attend to properly caring
for his new estate.
Sidney Hilton, a pioneer settler OF
Seattle, who was Captain Loomis'
father-in-law, died recently and the
will, when opened, was found to be-
queath his entire fortune to Denver's
chief of detectives.
The captain, who has rapidly re-
gained his health during the past week,
was expected to return to Denver be-
fore the middle of September to again
take up the reigns of office. He said
in his letter that the earliest possible
date of his return now will be some
time In November. when he will return
for a short time only to enable him to
settle up his affairs here. He will then
return to Washington.
1t is expected that Acting Captain of
Detectives Thomas l. Brown will sue
coed Captain Loomis after the latter's
resignation has been formally re-
ceived and accepted.

The Colorado Onion Harvest.

The onion harvest is commonly be-
gun by September 18th and the crop is
usually out of the field by the middle
of October. Harvesting should begin
promptly when the bulbs are mature,
as is indicated by the whitening of the
tops and the yellowing of the necks.
The onions are pulled by hand and
thrown into windrows where they are
allowed to remain for several days to
cure. After the curing process is COM
plete the bulbs are topped, sorted and
sacked. Topping is done by cutting off
the tops about one-half inch above
the bulb. care being taken to make, a
smooth, clean cut and not to injure the
outer coverings. If more top is left
on it detracts from the appearance and
If cut closer the bulb is likely to be
injured.
The onions are then sorted and
sacked in the field, making but one
grade. The small and unmarketable
bulbs, together with the scallions, are
left on the ground. Gunny sacks which
mold about 100 pounds are the only
packages used. Ordinarily damage by
rain Is not feared after the onions are
sacked, but If they should become wet
they should be left in the field until
dry. The sacks should be turned as
soon as the tops are dry in order that
the bottoms of the sacks will have an
equal chance to dry out. This is espe-
citlly true If the ground is wet.

Winter rye can be successfully grown
in most parts of this country If the
right kind of seed is used, says Field
and Farm. While it has been grown in
some localities for a number of years
there have been many failures. 1t is
believed that this has generally been
due to using seed from localities where
the climatic conditions are quite diner
ent from those in this state. When the
grains winter kill badly some stools al
most invariably survive. The seed
from these should be harvested and the
grain from them sown the next year
for they have shown ability to live un-
der our peculiar conditions. A few
years of such selection will produce a
strain that will survive even our worst
winters. In preparing the ground for
seeding to winter rye thorough food
ing should be given the land before
plowing. After the plowing is done,
harrow the ground in order to pulver-
ize all clods. The ground is then in
condition to seed, which should be done
with press drill, and il possible drill
northeast and southwest. Rye needs
less water than any other small grain
but II the fall rains are insufficient give
an irrigation of four or five inches Just
before the ground freezes. The rate
of seeding should be from sixty to
eighty pounds to the acre. 1t makes
fine late fall pasturage and begins to
do business in the spring earlier than
other forage plants and hence makes
the earliest bit of green for the dairy
stock. 1t may be fed off in early spring
and still make good yield of grain.
Our dairy farmers should give more at
tention to this crop.
