Of them except Maine and Minnesota
report marked shortage in crop, ow-
ing to adverse weather conditions.
Some Of these report as low as so per
cent. Of q crop, and several Of them on
ly from so to 10 per cent. of a crop.
When we consider that these states, in
a normal year produce 1876 million bush
els, we see the shortage in the United
States is far more than Colorado may
hope to produce for many years to
come.
The crop of Europe this year is re-
ported to be large. This, however, will
not materially affect the price of pota-
toes in the states because of the import
duty on them.
Colorado's 8 last years crop brought.
according to the United States Crop Re
porter, $4,5Oo,OOo. This year the IN.
crease in yield and probable high pTice
Colorado potato growers ought to re-
ceive $e,OOO,ooo for the crop; and this,
it should be remembered is clear money.
No fertilizer, no spraying materials,
and almost no valuable elements TAX
en- from the ground. In fact, the soils
that grew this crop are in better cohd'-
tion for grain crop next spring than
they would have been had not potatoes
been grown upon them.
One unnecessary mistake is still be-
ing made by growers, especially in the
newer potato sections Of the State.
That mistake is not in planting one of
the standard varieties. The writer was
recently in field, one half of which
had been planted to the standard Colo
RADIO variety, White Pearl, and the 9TH
er half to local variety, or rather
mixture of varieties. The owner of the
field was digging and made the state
ment that the part planted to pure
seed would bring seventy-five dollars
more per acre than the poorer variety.
This loss is being gradually overcome,
but not so fast as could be desired.
Right now, during the potato har-
vest, is the time to select or buy the
seed for next years crop, which we
expect will be still larger than this
one.

From Tuesdays Daily Post.

From Tuesdays Daily Post.
The county commissioners, on advice
Of the county attorney, refused yester-
day to grant the voters at Shoshone a
voting place other than in North Glen
wood. The reason was that "the law
requires the establishing of precincts
to be done thirty days before the cleo
tion. To count yesterday and the day
of the election makes just thirty days,
but both days cannot be counted, thus
there are but twenty-nine days and any
precinct established would be illegal" ="
Just why the two Democratic com.
missioners should bring the matter up
and consider it at all at the session
yesterday is a mystery to the powers
that be in the Democratic party. The
two men turned the proposition down
thirty days ago and refused to take
any action in the matter, but when the
legal time had passed. they showed a
willingness to allow the precinct. 1t
was as pretty piece of grand stand
play as was ever seen in the county,
but the voters are not going to be
fooled by the same. The truth of the
matter is, the two Democratic commits
sioners refused to allow the precinct
thirty days ago, that they might makc
a bluff yesterday. They knew then
that the thirty days could not be count
ed and that they could thus slide out
of the affair and have some excuse
with which to apprach the voters at
Shoshone. "Oh, we wanted to give you
boys voting place at Shoshonc, but
the county attorney said it was not
legal at this time. We did delay the
matter for we thought thirty days

oolor.do's 1908 Potato Crop

If the evidence of the vines and what
potatoes have SO far been dug is not
misleading, Colorado will have bum
per crop of potatoes for 1908.
In the Greeley district, which is now
the largest potato producing section
west of the Mississippi, the develop
ment Of vine has been greater than ev-
er before. Some complaint has been
made of poor set of tubers, but investi
cation of this condition by the writer
has shown this to be for the most part
groundless.
The weather conditions, while not par
ticuariy favorable, have been far bet
ter than in most of the great potato
producing states. The recent frost
may have damaged particularly late
planted field. here and there, but. on
the whole, it was beneficial in that it
stopped the growth of vines and will
allow the tubers to mature in the soil
before being dug The dry, cool wea-
ther for the past month has also been
favorable for maturing potatoes of
quality, SO that it is expected that the
quality Of Greeley potatoes will at
least be up to the standard.
An estimate of the output of the dis
trict for this year is rather difficult
to make, but judging from the past, it
is safe to predict that it will not be far
from ten or twelve Thousand cars.
While the increase at Greeley is con-
siderable, the large increase Of the Colo
RADIO crop over previous years will come
from the mountain districts of the
State. Reports from the Roaring Fork
and Grand Valleys, the Uncompahgre,
and the San Luis indicate very mark
ed increase. Last year the Denver &
Rio Grande Railroad Go. shipped from
these valleys a total Of 1900 cars of
potatoes. This year they are plann-
ing to handle $500 cars, or more than
twice as many as any previous year.
Tho increase in production Of pota-
toes in Colorado need not frighten the
growers into selling at low price.

station has received letters from Maine,

popular resort place last night and
even the manager, Mr.. Elmer Lucas,
is greatly surprised at the steady
stream of, guests coming this late in
the Summer.
1T is true, the hills were never more
beautiful, the roads through the canons
were never in better shape for riding
and the surroundings of the hotel never
presented brighter or more allurinR
appearance.
Although the date for closing the ho-
tel has arrived and some of the EN-
ployes have left, the crowds of visitors
continue to come and it is simply i'm
possible for Mr.. Lucas to turn them
away and thus the closing has been put
off with the hopes that E. A. Thayer
of Denver, the only stakeholder that
has not given consent to the all winter
plan, will agree to give it trial.
The large dining room has been aban-
doned and the people are being served
in the ordinary, which many say is
nicer than the large room as it gives
home like tone to the meals.
1t is defnately settled that the place
will be kept open all next winter even
if it is closed this fall. The railroads
coming into the state will have their
spring literature announce the fact
through their eastern offices and it is
believed that the plan will be good
one and that Glenwood is just coming
into her own and that increased crowds
will be the result of the campaign that
will be made.

MUSIC STORE WRECKED,

New York, Feb. 24-An Italian bomb

day, when Peter Locates music store in
Morgan avenue, was wrecked Locate
had received many socalled Black Hand
letters, but, having refused to pay for
Immunity HIS store was first blown UP
last spring. In December last anoth-
er bomb was left on the stoop and the
doors and windows demolished. Since
then he had received several letters
demanding money, but has ignored
them, resulting in the mysterious at
tack today. Relatives of Locate, his
wife and three children who occupy
rooms in the rear of the store, escaped
with slight injuries. A few months ago
the body OF an Italian was found in
the street near Locates store. There
was a bomb in the pocket Of the dead
man and it was believed that he had
been delegated to commit some out
rage had failed, and had been muir
dered by his associates for his failure
to carry out his instructions.
Immediately following the murder of
Girolamo Celia, a well known italian
merchant, last night, todays crime is
regarded by the police as evidence
that the blackmailers and murderers
whose crimes have been aimed chief
ly at Italians, have been made holder
by the continued inability of the police
to detect and punish them.
