AIDING RURAL CARRIERS
MR.. AcHEsoN INTRODUCES BILL
WHICH WOULD COST $1b-
100000 A YEAR.

WASHINGTON. Feb. 1.-There is
sharp rivalry between members on
both sides of the House as to who can
show himself the best friends OF the
rural mail carriers.
In December. Representative Ed
wards, of Georgia, put in a bill that
proper additional compensation should
be allowed rural carriers who carried
lock pouches and granting the car
rlers an allowance of $50 a year for
the use of a horse and vehicle and for
horse feed.
Yesterday Representative Acheson
put in similar bill with the allow
ance for horse and vehicle raised to
$500. II this bill should become law
it would cost the government over
$11, 100000 a year more to- maintain
the rural mail system than 1t does at
present. There are now about $1,000
rural carriers.
1.-THE rural carriers believe their
compensation should be something
near what the city carriers get" sad
Mr.. Acheson, in explanation of his
ldn. IAN of them have keep horse.

GRAIN CROPS
OF COLORADO
PROFESSOR oLiN TELLS DENVER
CHAMBER OF COMMERCE
ABOUT THEM.
CAN FEED HER STOCK
MAY SHOW HIGHEST YIELD PER
ACRE OF ANY OF THE
STATES.

The recent address of Prof W. II.
Ulin of the State Agricultural College
on the subject of THE Grain Crops OF
Colorado" at the Denver Chamber OF
Commerce luncheon, was revelation
TO those present of the possibilities
OF Colorado as an agricultural state.
and especially as grain state. With
the growing of grain Colorado can feed
her own stock. instead of shipping
to Kansas and Nebraska to have 1t fat
tened
BY diligent and persistent work Il
is possible in the near future for us to
place Colorado grain second to none In
quality. and in yield per acre place our
state first In all the Union" said Pro-
fessor Oln.
In the FIRST place" he said. Colo
RADIO can grow quite variety OF grain
crops. because we have all the varie-
ties of climate one would observe In
passing from North Dakota TO Texas.
This is largely due to the altitude in
which our agricultural lands are
formed. reaching from $500 feet to-
timber line. And the highest altitude
where grains can be grown In this
state has not yet been determined"
Professor Olln gave some sugges-
tions as to what grains may be grown
In various parts OF the state. For this
purpose he divided the state into three
crop zones. as follows:
First, lands without irrigation where
grain is being grown--the arabic
lands above the ditch"
Second. lands under the ditch be-
low 5000 feet elevation
Third, lands under the ditch" above
6,000 feet elevation.
Both spring and fall wheat are grown
in all three zones of the state. the
spring variety being better suited to
Withstand drought and therefore more
extensively cultivated In the higher al
titudes.
The farmers. says Professor Olin,
are waking up TO the value of barley.
1t may be grown at almost all attitudes,
and the yield is large. in some cases
reaching 100 bushels per acre. At pres
ent 1t is about all consumed as feed on
the stock farms of the state, but soon
II will he necessary to find an export
market.
Flax will soon become permanent
crop in the state. II has been tested in
the east and central portions OF the
plains, under direct attention OF Pro-
fessor Olin. and the result has been
satisfactory The yield has been above
the average. ranging from eight to
fourteen bushels per acre.
Corn. kafiir corn and field peas are
also extensively grown, the value OF the
latter as a food for sheep having
greatly increased its production In the
past few years. The yield, Professor
Olin believes. can be made to equal
that OF any other part of the country
and to surpass most sections. The corn
is of excellent quality. but It Is not ex-
tensively raised for the reason that
other more profitable crops may be
produced where corn grows we'll
