SEED BREEDERS
ASSOCIATION
SYSTEMATIC PLANS ADOPTED BY
ROCKY FORD cANTALouPE
GROWERS.
co OPERATIVE WORK
ASSOCIATION TO HANDLE ALL
SEEDS AND FURNISH PEDI-
GREEs OF BREEDING.

A number of the most careful canta-
loupe growers of Rocky Ford have or
ganized practical seed breeders as
sociation. Their methods can be
adopted prafitably by Colorado grow
ers of many other crops.
The Rocky Ford Cantaloupe Seed
Breeders Association has been formed
for the propagation and development
OF high grade cantaloupe seed by sys-
tematic methods OF seed breeding. fol-
lowing the plans outlined in Bulletin
No. 1876. of the Colorado Experiment
Station.
The motives and plans for this Or
ganization are as follows:
To adopt the most approved princi-
pies Of plant breeding. and to apply
them under definite outline, or meth
Cd
TIE require each member to follow
the same schedule of selection.
To register the seed produced each
year. with records and description OF
all antecedent history.
To furnish certificates with all reg
istered seed sold. showing the number
of years pedigreed breeding behind 1t.
To offer for sale only the seed pro-
duced through the association, and not
to engage in any general seed trade. or
to Job in seed.
To invite the examination of breed
ing plats. pedigree records, and our
methods of seed saving. by those inter
ested in good cantaloupe seed.
To avoid advertising by exaggerated
and misleading statements.
To develop cantaloupe OF the high.
est possible merit, of the type that the
markets demand.
To protect the purchaser by sealing
all registered seed under a Regis
tered" seal of the association.
To establish a standard OF perfec-
tion and score by which cantaloupes
may be judged.
To discourage the remaining OF old
varieties without merit of distlnc.
tion.

Know How to Live.

That good health and long life
are largely a matter of correct haD-
its and cleanliness nearly every one
admits. Sweden and Norway are
striking examples of this fact. The
hygienic habits of their people, as
seen in numerous public baths, ad-
mirably organized hospitals, adVanc-
ed medical knowledge, clean homes
and personal cleanliness, account to
q very great extent for the long life
which so many people enjoy, and
the low rate OF mortality. In Swe-
den the death rate is only IA per
1000, while Norway shows up even
better, the rate being only l3. This
rate is probably the lowest found
in any nation and is eloquent IN It's
suggestiveness, Another thing that
helps the people out there to live
to ripe old age is that they do not
drink to excess. The liquor tarhc
is in the hands of the government
and is run somewhat on the plan OF
our dispensaries. All the liquors are
chemically pure, and the people are
encouraged to use light wines IN
stead of alcoholic drinks. Another
thing. they don't worry themselves
to death chasing the almighty dol
lar as we do in this country. The
neople are contented and happy, and
as a consequence live long time.

The Social Life That Was.

While country life has gained So
ciallv in many ways it has also lost
in large measure some social fea-
lures which were the joy OF young
people in former days. Thirty or
more years ago, and less than that
in some sections, spelling bees, sing
ing schools, debating societies and
other similar doings were numerous
affording untold pleasure and no
small benefit. They made needful
break in the ordinary routine OF
farm life, and today many look back
longingly to the times Of their youth
when merry patries of young people,
after the days work was over, drove
to the country school to hear or
take part n singing, debating ques-
tions, or in spelling one another
down. Country life today, socially
and in other ways, is unQuestionably
better than it was, and books, papers
and other material are now plenti-
full in the farm home as once they
were scare. Still it is doubtful If
any of the young people of today
get more genuine satisfaction out of
the advantages they possess, than
their fathers, and mothers got in
their youth from the social doings
which frightened many long wint-
er night.

WOMAN FINDS SNAKE IN BED.

Mrs. John Mcknight of Shartles-

black snake which she is not likely

ly retired as usual and when Mrs.
Mcknight had been in bed but a

noise back Of her pillew.
Thinking it was an insect OF some
kind she thought no more of the
matter and went to sleep. She had
Just fallen into a doze when she
felt peculiar sensation on her face
Reaching up to her forehead she
was herrifed to find a snake crawl
ing over her face.

hurled the reptile across the room
Arising, she found the snake lying
in a corner Of the room and Killed
it with a cane. The snake nneasur-
ed three feet. four inches IN y

His reply was called for by the
statement of Mr.. Dickinson at Gel-
vsburg that There are in the South
but few, if any, who would not turn
swiftly with sentiments OF abhor-
ance, from any suggestion that 1t
wonld better for the South if 1t had
succeeded in establishing an indepen-
dent government" After denounc-
ing this assertion, and charging that
Mr.. Dickinson did not believe what
he said, and the northern people
/ knew he did not speak the truth, Mr..
Watson said:
"I am quite sincere in saying 1t
would have been better for the South
had the Confederacy succeeded. The
western States would be better OF
in a seperate nation of their own.
The Southern States would be far
better off as q separate nation. 1t
will come some day, with just SUCH
laws as Aldrich and Lodge and Cal
linger and Hale-all Of New Eng
land-are forcing through Congress.
The union will be split into four
grand divl. Jns and this hemisphere
will be all the happier for it,
While all this may come to pass,
Watson ought to keep his mouth
shut, as he is partly responsible for
the Republican leaders being in Il
position to plunder the South and
West for the benefit of New England.
His little Populist movement was
carefully nursed by the Republican
managers and it was charged time
and again that it was being financed
by them. If Watson was the great
reformer he pretends to be, he wout1
| not give the plunderers aid and COM
fort by dividing the reform forces.
Watson is like a great many other
so-called reformers. He cusses out
the plunderers between elections, but
Just before election time he gets
up little side show to help them
out. Such reformers as Watson are
humbugs.
