Chamber of Commerce Tells People
About Our Cants.

The following letter, winch early
this week appeared in many of the
leading papers in the large cities OF
the East, is an earnest that our Cham.
Der of Commerce is taking active
steps to protect the name and repu-
tation of the simon pure home grown
Rocky Ford cantaloupe:
Rocky Ford cantaloupes have just
begun to be shipped in carload guam
titles. I think Il am correct in saying
that they are never shipped in carload
quantities until August S, or in any
way earlier than August l. The menu
cards in the hotels and cafes in your
city have been selling what is report
ed to be Rocky Ford cantaloupes to
their guests and parons since the first
cantaloupes were shipped from Cali.
fornia, Texas and Arizona, all under
the name OF Rocky Ford canta-
loupes.' Some of these cantaloupes,
they claim to have been grown from
Rocky Ford seed. and that is the ex-
cuse they give for calling them the
Rocky Ford cantaloupes.
make the cantaloupe, and there is no
other cantaloupe that can anywhere
near compare with the cantaloupei
grown at Rocky Ford and vicinity.
People oging through here daily say
have been eating Rocky Ford
cantaloupcs for two or three months
The people of Rocky Ford are very
anxious to not have the word Rocky
Ford cantaolupe' on the menu cards
of the hotels and cafes pntil they are
the Rocky Ford cantaloupcs, and, d.
stated above they are never shipped
until August I.
We have written to the pure food
department of this state asking thei.
cooperation along these lines. VIZ
have also taken the matter up with
the federal authorities at Washington
If you think any of the above fact.
would be OF interest to your readers
we would be very glad to have yot
give it any publicity. that you shoult
see fit. OF course this is too late tt

then eating the real Rocky Ford can

you can very readily see where tn,

AGRICULTURAL NEWS NOTES

That the Colorado Agricultural college
has established world wide connections
became apparent recently when Prof
L. G. Carpenter. director of tho expert
ment station. received draft from Muk-
den, where the great battle was fought
during the Russo-Jap war. The draft
was IN payment Of sugar beet seed pur-
chased for experiments in beet raising in
Manehuria.
Plant louise study recently took Prof
c. P. Gillette. who holds the chair Of en-
tomolgy and zoology at the Colorado
Agricultural college, to several eastern
experiment stations and also to Washing
ton. D. C. The plant louse is a compli-
Gated little insect that keeps en.onolo-
gists forever guessing.
At first though: it appears that agri-
cultural progress for Colorado means fat
ter hogs and n increase in the yield of
alfalfa. Let US 90 deeper. Train the
boy and girl in scientific methods Of pro-
du5tion and the yield will take care of
itself. It is history in all new localities
that the farmer immigrant learns by
hard knocks-information not to be de-
spised. But the younger generation mus.
be trained in the schools. in order that
we may get the best that is in the pupil.
to fit him for getting the bss, out of the
sell. Our State Agricultural college at
Fort Collins answers that need.
The retiring president OF the Nationa
Educational Association sounded the
keynote Of the recent convention in Dem
yer. when he advocated vocational train
ing from the first grade up. This idea
penetrated every scc:ion Of the great
gathering. |: took hold Of our educators:
they possessed themselves Of the though.
which loomed larger than any other sub
jsct before the c3nvention-the thought
that the common sch7oI must concern It
self with aetualties governing the child's |
future. The day Of haphazard education
is done; this is the dawn Of better day,
when the child is tluEA; that which is of |
use and TIE lessen is drawn from the
objects around HMM short, localized |
vocational training. |: means for our
agricultural districts that the boy will
stay on the farm. fer ne will learn to
value rightly the things that are Of the
farm.

 pany. #
 For the information of it's army of polfcy- holders, the Metropolitan Life issued . statement of it's standing at the end of the year 1908. The facts set forth show that this great insur- ailce organization continues to carry more policies and to distribute greater benefits among the whole people than any other like institution, while It's own resources gain steadily in proper ratio to its increasing volume of busi- ness.
 The magnitude of the Company's op- eratfons Is astounding. To fully un- derstand the meaning of the figures dealing in totals for the year, 1t is necessary to bring them down to the smallest division of time. For exam pie. the mind can scarcely compre- bend the significance of the statement policies at the end of the year was 1861. 1890, sos, but we can easily grasp the no less astonishing fact that dur ing the business hours of every day in the year an average of e.34a new policies were issued and paid for. Every day-taking the average for the year--441 persons received from the Company the full value of policies which had been carried for their bene- it. Every day the Company paid out to it's policy holders and added-to to the policy-paying fund Preserve fundl more than $16e,O0o. The value of property owned and acquired by ths Metropolitan Life during 1908 increased at the rate Of S127.00O per day. A .policy-hoIder of the Company dies every six minutes, and the Company pays during business hours q death claim on the average every sixty-two seconds.
 The confidence and goodwill se- cured under the enlightend policy of the Company account forsthe fact that for fifteen consecutive years, including 1908. the Metropolitan Life has re- ceived more new business than any other insurance company in the world.
