Under semi-arid conditions such in
fiuences are intensified: so much %
that it seems at times as though the
cause could not be accounted for.
Growers have found that II they
can keep the plants growing steadily
from the seed bed to maturity, loss
from this source is small. This IL de-
sirable, Of course, with all classes Of
plants, but the celery plant happens
to be extremely sensitive. The way
plants are handled before they are
transplanted to the field is important,
as it is quite common for the hot bed
grown plants to go to seed. On the
other hand, plants grown In green
houses, IL we'll grown, give good sat
isfaction; however. most growers
such plants seem to be the most pro-
fitable.
The best soil for celery growing is
loamy river bottom land. Such soil
is inclined to be moist, but not sog-
gy, and does not bake. Give such soil
and a reliable water supply the skill

The Agricultural college has often

respond more quickly than celery.

Sometimes 1t Is necessary to make
an application when cherries or plums
are nearly grown, when lit Is not ad-
visable to cover the fruit with an
arsenical poison. In this case one can
use white hellebore in water in the
proportion Of one ounce to three gal
Ions, If the hellebore Is used, 1t is
a little better to apply towards even
ing. Try to distribute the spray as
evenly and thoroughly as possible to
all the leaves Of the tree without using
enough to cause it to run of to any
great extent
Where only a few trees are to be
treated, one may use air slaked lime
or fine road dust, throwing the dust

Celery planting is now in order and
the experienced grower is undoubted-
ly striving to guard against loss by
plants going to seed. This tendency
in celery plants to throw up seed

of much loss each year.

WILLIAM 4. SPENCER,
new EDITOR OF TIMES

William e. Spencer, late of Claren-
den, Arkansas, has been formally in
stalled as the successor of Rev. w. A.
Henderson as editor and business
manager of the Canon City Times and
| in such capacity the newspaper men
of the state extend to him fraternal
greeting. Mr.. Spencer is journalist
of high standing in the South and he
brings to Colorado the reputation OF
being a close observer Of things and
strong, trenchant writer, character
istics that can hardly. fail to bring
him the coveted success here. as 1t
has done elsewhere.
AS editor and owner of the Monroe
County Sun, a property he still pos
sesses, for period of twenty-five
years, Mr.Spencer contributed in no
small degree to the business and COM
mercial life of his home town, a COM
munity noted for its high standard of
morality, intelligence and good citi-
zenship. Mr.. Spencer is consistent.
devoted member of the Methodist
church, and is socially an unassuming
and most agreeable gentleman. He
has been for more than a score of
years secretary of the Democratic
county central committee of Monroe
county and is president of the Arkan-
sas Press association.
Mr.. Spencer became tentative edi-
tor and manager of the Times a month
or six weeks ago, but it has only been
during the last week or ten days that
he has been unable to give his full
time and attention to the duties of
the position. Mr.. Spencer and wife
came to Canon City nearly a year ago
in the hope that a change Of climate
ard environment would prove bene-
fetal to the former, whose strength
and vitality had been too heavily
drawn upon by the exactions Of his
newspaper work in the south. The
anticipations of improved health and
renewed strength have, to a large ex-
tent, at least, been realized since COM
ing here and Mr.. Spencer finds that
work gives added zest and appetite
to his existence. ..-.....
The Daily Record joins in the hope
that Canon City may prove very
pleasant, congenial place Of residence
to Mr.. Spencer and his amiabl, wife.

A gentleman from Avon. Colo.
writes an follows: #
II understand the College has re-
Gently started a course In horseshoe
ing. have a pair OF drivers eight and
nine years old that have pulled q
buggy in 1854. Both Of these horses

tezefer, AMI sometimes badly. When
going faster, they both travel very

outside and they improved, but still
1t is necessary to wear boots on them.
Can you give me any hints as to how
they should be shodf"
Answer-The usual method in shoe
ing to correct this dimculty Is to low
er the outside of the foot. thus tip
ping the ankle away from the oppo-
site foot as it passes. Another method
u that of weighting the shoe on the
outside or combining the two meth
DDS. To give directions as to just how
these particular horses should be shod
ID a dificult matter. Each animal In .
study by itself.
We believe that a tn ,rough knowl-
edge of the anatomy and physiology
Of the horses foot and leg is an in
dispensable requisite in addition to
experience. It requires both to cor
rect some of those difficulties where
a bad conformation OF leg and foot
Ii a predisposing cause.
Very few horses interfere before
having been shod at all. unless the
feet are badly overgrown and ragged.
As the horseshoer has failed to prop
erly level and balance the foot, sup
pose you try another plan, viz. that OF
letting nature level the foot. Pull on
the shoes and trim the feet we'll to
prevent breaking of the hoof. Allow
the animals to go barefooted until the
feet are we'll worn down, and then
apply the shoe without changing the
level OF the foot The horseshoer will
often argue that this proposition is
absurd. or course he will. because It
Is to his interest to advise the shoeing
OF horses rather than having them go
unshod. There are often serious OBJ
jections to doing this and 1t is some
times positively necessary to keep
shoes on all the time. In this case
however, 1t will no doubt succeed and
is worth trying, as the blacksmith has
failed.

CRIPPLE CREEK PRINTERS
WIN GAME FROM LOCALS

The most notable base ball game Of
the season, SO far as the printers OF
Fremont and Teller counties are con-
cerned. was played on the fair grounds
diamond here Sunday afternoon be-
tween teams representing the news
paper Offices of Canon City and Cripple
Creek. Although devoid Of dramatic
features, or special incident Of any
kind, the contest was an interesting
one from start to finish and aroused
the usual enthusiasm among the spec
tators. of which there were, probably,
a couple of hundred in the grand stand
and on the bleachers.
The visiting prints" vent to bat
first, and by good use of the willow
created an excellent impression OF
their skill as exemplars of the nation
al game, but not better than their an
tagonists did in the field, where they
distinguished themselves by their ad-
roitness in chasing the elusive sphere.
The contesting teams were pretty
evenly matched, and, for about five
innings, it was anybody's game, with
the chances favoring the Canon City
aggregation. The next four innings,
however, turned the tide away from
the locals and the Cripple Creek boys
won by the score of 13 to 8.
The individual work of the visitors
was not. as rule, in any way super
ior to that of the home players, but
by more harmonious action on the
part Of their team was able to achieve
a. victory, perhaps otherwise impos-
sible. The batteries were as follows:
Canon City--Shumway, Eighmy and
Bell. Cripple Creek-Gail and Carr.
Struch out by Shumway, 9; by Eighmy,
4, by Gail, 8.
Bell, for the locals, did some nice
"back-stop" work as did also Carr for
the visitors.
Some really good plays were made
by both sides, there were others, how
ever. about which the less said the
better. In view of the fact that neith-
er organization had had much prac-
tice, the contest was a highly credit
able one. The visitors were fine set
OF fellows and the Canon boys were
pleased to make their acquaintance.
They returned to the district with the
F. & C. c. excursionists at 5 o'clock
gratified with their victory and their
days outing.
A return game will probably be
played at the Creek within the next
two weeks.

The Cherry and Pear Tree Slug.

This insect did great injury to
cherry, plum and pear trees in parts
OF Colorado last year. 1t is one of
our easiest insects to destroy and no
one who grows these trees should al
how them to be seriously injured by 1t.
The slug is Of a dark brown color,
Shiny in appearance, and does its in
.juries by eating of the green sub
stance Of the upper surface Of the
deaf. causing the foliage to turn brown
as if scorched with fire. There are
two broods of this insect each year.
The adult Is black, four-winged fly,
which begins to deposit its eggs in the
leaves about June 1st. This Is done
by. inserting a sharp ovipostor just be-
meath the cuticle of the leaf where one
egg is deposited in place. Where the
egg is deposited a little brown pim-
pie can be seen upon the upper sur
face of the leaf. in about a week
these eggs hatch and the little slugs
crawl out upon the surface and be-
gin to feed. In about two weeks more
they become mature, crawl to the
ground, and spin little silken cocoons,
where they remain for two or three
weeks longer, and then hatch into an
other brood OF black flies like those
that began in the spring. These also
deposit eggs in precisely the same
manner as the preceding brood, but
usually in far greater numbers, so
that the principal injury is commonly
done during August and early Septem-
ber. when they often almost COM
pletely destroy the leaves OF the trees,
and at a time Of the year when the
trees can least afford to spare, their
foliage. 1t is too late for the trees to
put out new leaves before winter. and
without the service of the leaves at
this time of the year to manufacture
the starchy food material which is to
start plant growth in the spring, the
trees are likely to die. In the warmer
sections of the state, the spring brood
Of this insect Is already present in
the orchards.
