THE GREEN APHIS OF
THE APPLE TREE

Accompanying the annual report of
Secretary George H. Sale of the Fre-
mont County Fruit Growers asso-
citation, which was submitted at the
meeting of the stockholders last Sat
urday afternoon, was the following
very interesting paper on the green
aphis of the apple tree:
This orchard pest which has been
SO detrimental to trees in many OF
the older sections of the country for
a great many years. has recently made
its appearance in Fremont county and
active steps should be taken to con-
troll it. 1t apears as soon as the leaves
are out in the spring. in the shape of
a small green louise and will be found
on the outer side of the tender
leaves.
Later in the season it attacks the
tender twigs of the present years
growth and that is where it does its
greatest harm.
1t is from the new growth that We
expect our best fruit and IL this
growth has been injured and stunted
by the action of lice We are losing the
best surface of our tree. Along In
August you will find the leaves curl
ing up and little dry spots appearing
on the bark.
Lice feed by piercing the bark and
sucking the sap so that poisons have
no effect on them. This particular
louse lays its eggs on the bark and
they live there over winter 50 that the
pest is easily controlled If properly
treated.
The Green Aphis of the Apple
Tree" is one of the special subjects
to be treated by Prof. Gillette at the
short course in horticulture to be held
here in February and sufficient time
will be devoted to this subject to in
struct the pupils thoroughly in the
best method for its determination.

assault upon him. Both men were
drunk at the time and now that they
have sobered up neither Of them cher
ish any malice. In fact. McMullen
would not appear against defendant II
1t could be avoided.
Bowers has a wife and three chill

brother at Chandler, who few days
ago was stricken with paralysis, that
has always taken a deep interest in
his welfare. and the misfortune that
has befallen him in his kinsman's ILL

In securing his release from the coun-
ty jail. A strong, temperance case
is preached by the case OF Bowers and
McMullen and ought to be the means
of securing their sobriety in the fu-

THE QUINLANS THINK.
CANON CLIMATE RIGHT

Mr.. and Mrs. F. B. Quinlan re-
turned home Friday night from a two
months and a half visit to the Pacific
coast during which they visited most
of the points of interest in California
from San Francisco southwark to San
Diego. They had a pleasant visit but
had no desire to make their home
there. Mr.. Quinlan says California
has no edge on Colorado so far as
climate Is concerned. nor in his opin-
ion are the opportunities any greater
for making money there than here.
The recent financial upheaval was a
good deal worse on the Pacific coast
than it was here and for a month
or six weeks the banks refused to
pay out money at all. which interfered
with the business OF the public. Mr.
and Mrs. Qulnlan met number OF for
mer Canon City people in Southern
California, all Of whom were glad to
see them. Mr.. and Mrs. Quinlan spent

TO HAVE INTER-
STATE FAIR AT DENVER

Colorado is to have an Interstate
Fair for the exhibition OF its resour-
ces. The first annual exposition will
be held September to IL. 1908, under
the management of the Colorado In
dustrial Exposition association at
Overland Park, Denver. which is
being converted into one of the most
extensive and complete fair grounds
In the country at an expenditure of
$150.000. In discussing the scope of
the fair, Mr.. c. e. Stubbs. president of
the exposition association (which is
composed Of Denver's most represen-
tative business men), has the follow
Ing to say:
THE advantages of frst-class in
terstate fair and exposition to Col
orado are inestimable. 1t will be an
educator and each year OF its exist
ence will in the future be regarded as
milestones marking the development
OF agriculture, horticulture, mining,
stock raising. manufacturing and. in
fact, the development of every other
important industry in our state.
There is nothing which can so
clearly portray the resources of Colo
RADIO and the territory tributary to
Denver. as the annual fair and expo
sition. 1t will furnish to the people
who are interested in the west object
lessons of our Importance as an agri-
cultural and mining state and of our
unlimited resources, which are here
awaiting the energy of man to develop
them.
Our fair and exposition will bring
to Colorado a larger and more sub
stantial population than any other
source of advertising, and 1t will grad
nally prove to be a most potent factor
in the upbuilding of the great empire.
which by natural rights and location
is justly tributary to Denver. 1t is
the only thing which will enable the
miner. the manufacturer. the agricul
turist and the ranchman to meet and
exchange ideas, and will quickly dis
pei that lethargy. which is prone to
make people content with whatever
they already have.

ONE HUNDRED COWS
And the Dimensions of the silo Neces-
sary to Supply Them with Food.

A silo to feed hundred cows should
be 26 feet in diameter and 80 feet
deep. Two such silos will easily keep
200 cows and the calves in silage by
the year. In the larger silos the loss
is less from outside waste and there
is only. one top layer to be thrown into
the manure pile. A 50-eow silo should
be 20 feet In diameter and 30 feet
deep. Two of this medium size are
often better for the 100-coW dairy than
having all the feed put into large
silo, for while there is the loss from
the greater surface, there are often
times when the crops are not large
enough to completely fill large silo
that makes IT. worth while to have
smaller one TO make good silage the
mass must he great enough to give
! depth to produce pressure and raist

Plants Change.

Plants change their characters ac-
cording to the conditions in which
they are, and this is more true of the
artificial plants than any other. Take
the wheats by way of illustration.
They have been SO artificia1ly bred
for a long time that they are very
susceptible to conditions. A wheat at
the Tennessee experiment station that
had been bred to have a large
amount of protein and small amount
of starch suddenly developed a great
deal of starch in a wet year when the
leaves grew large. This change, ac-
eording to season, is the hardest
thing to combat in any artificial plant,
and any plant that has been modified
by man is artificial. The more changes
we make with plants the easier are
changes made. The last % years has
seen more new brands of cabbages
brought on the market than ever be
fore and some of them are very diff
ferent from the old varieties.
