Fourteen years ago last Thursday
Mr.. Simmons preached at Rifle the
funeral sermon of a young Mr.. Card.
He will never forget the time be-
cause of a circumstance connected
with the sad event. The daughter,
Ada, was one hundred miles from
the place, and the only way of reach
ing her was by a messenger; the
man started at one O'Clock on one
day and reached there at twelve the
next. A fresh horse was procured
and the return trip was begun. Ada,
her husband and husbands brother
formed the party. They made the
return trip in just twenty-four hours.
Two of the horses died the next day,
while one, Ada's. is living yet; the
pet of the entire family. Mr.. and
Mrs. Card, and Ada,-now a widow
visited Mr.. and Mrs. Webber and
Mrs. Hardy last week. The Sim
mons ate strawberry short cake with
them at the Webber ranch on Fri
day. Mr.. and Mrs. Card returned to
Rifle Sunday. Their daughter, Mrs
Walker, and little daughter remained
here.-Plateau Valley Voice.

J. e. Gallup of the Gunnison val
ley was in town Tuesday. He says
he will have over 1000 boxes of ap-
pies to ship of the Jonathan, Wine
sap, Gano, Rome Beauty and Ben
Davis varieties. He has five Wine
sap trees that will pack so boxes.
The trees are so full they will have
to be propped up. When the freeze
came last spring Mr. Gallup turned
the water into his orchard and kept
1t running through each night that
the temperature reached the freez-
ing point. This he attributes to the
saving of a portion of his fruit crop.
He thinks the water kept the bloom
back preventing freezing.

kind that ever visited Grand juno

120 eggs which hatch in eight hours,
the larva period lasting five days

the generation ten days. From
twelve to fifteen generations can de-

wrote to the national agricultural

/ inquiring If any Investigations along
this line had ever been made by the

The reply Mr.. Hard!nge received
is as follows:
United States Department of Agri-
culture. Forest Service, Washing
ton. Office of the Forester, Den
drology.
"July IA, 1908.
"Mr. r. NJ Hardinge,
Grand junction, Colorado.
Dear Sir:
your letter of July 5, to the Hon
orable. the Secretary of Agriculture,
has been referred to the Forest Ser
vice for attention.
81 have not seen any of the news
paper articles to which you refer
relative to the effect of sulphur in
preventing cottonwood trees from
bearing cotton. which is, of course.
the seed of the tree. 1t is not pos
sible that there can be any truth in
this statement Any chemical appli-
ed to a seedbearing tree which could
prevent the tree from bearing its
normal fruit or seed Ccotton,' as in
the case of the willows and cotton
woods,) would kill or greatly dam
hA hn in tnr
mediate condition induced just short
of seed production. Seed-bearing
-recs, If maintained in perfectly
healthy condition, are bound to pro-
duce their flowers and fruit.
THE probable explanation of this
statement is that some one has ap-
piled sulphur to what we call stam-
mate or male tree which does not
bear the so-called cotton. These
trees produce in early spring tassel-
like flowers which fall from the tree
and are entirely unobjectionable.
Probably the fact that one of these
trees was observed not to bear cot
ton after the treatment, lead to the
belief that the sulphur was actually
effective in preventing the produc-
ton of seed. All species of cotton
wood have both male and female
! (pistillate) trees, the female or pis-
tillate trees only bearing seed or
cotton"
by propagating ornamental trees
from cuttings of staminate or male
trees, the trees of a street or park
can. as you will see, be rendered
I unobjcctionable, since there will
