that would put to shame q harvest
from an eastern farm.
The Rife Reveille last week had n
cherry story that shows the possibili
ties of Garfield county fruit land. The
Reveille said:
There is perhaps no other locality
where cherries will do better than right
here at Rifle. The crop that has just
been harvested, in every instance has
returned the owner large profits. The
forty-two trees in the Glover orchard
east of town have yielded an average
of IS baskets per tree which means
$l4 per tree.
Now. on an acre of ground there are
1870 trees, at $l4 per tree, an acre OF
cherry trees would be worth, or in other
words. would produce $2,660 in one
year, which is 10 per cent on an invest
ment of $4,000.

DOES THE SHOE PINCH?

For years the democrats of the coun-
try have been bowling their heads of
for congress that would give the
people free trade. 1t has been the
battle cry of democracy for years and
Turing the last campaign they had a
''free trade plank in their national
platform. They made the race on that
platform, whether they meant to follow

were in this state elected on the Free

HATS OFF TO KANSAS

Not a great many years ago Kansas
was looked upon as being the home OF
grasshoppers and sunflowers. Our lead
ing cartoonists were ever vieing with
each other in efforts to picture the
| Kansas farmer AS a man with long
whisllers, who was always facing Il
large sized mortgage ON his little sod
shanty and living ON corn dodgers 'anl
rabbits.
But look at the picture of the Kan,
sas farmer today. He is one of the
most prosperous men in the whole
country. He has moved from the sod
shanty into a modern home, where he
talks to his neighbors over the telc-
phone about the bumper crops of grain
and the price of automobiles. He no
longer faces the mortgage plaster, il
he does it is in gilt frame and kept
as a relic of less prosperous days.
Few there are who know that Kan
sas farmers are placing their state on
the top rung of the prosperity ladder,
but if reports are to be believed, some
of the rest of us viii have to get a
faster move on and do some climbing.
In speaking of Kansas, the Spring
field Union said recently:
Kansas is hopeful of surprising
Massachusetts this year in wealth per
capita, according to a financial state
ment sent out from Topeka. "There
are only three states in the Union
says Bank Commissioner Dolley of the
SunfOwer state, "that outrank Kan
sas in assessment of property-New
York, Pennsylvania and Massachusetts.
In proportion to population, both Mass
achusetts and Kansas lead the other
two, or, in other words, Kansas and
Massachusetts lead the nation per cap
ita as to assessment of property. With
Kansas harvesting tremendous wheat
crop and its promise of gathering the
largest corn crop in its history, there
is reason to believe that it will even
surpass Massachusetts, and lead all
states in the matter of per capita
wealth this year. Whether this be
lief is well founded must be determin-
ed by later developments, but the facts
contained in the bank commissioner
report show beyond doubt that Kansas
is exceptionally prosperous. The total
deposits of state and national banks
in Kansas foot up to $l62, ,93l, ,s57, and
the agricultural proceeds for the year
are estimated at 1900, 100000, besides
s5O,OOO.OOO of livestock TO be shipped
to market 1t is said that a good per.
centage of these sums will be deposit
ed in the Kansas banks, and, such be
ing the ease, it is not surprising that
the deposits show a gratifying growth
from year to year.

TAKING THE CENSUS

1t is certainly to be hoped that
President Taft has appointed only men
of ability and men who will do their
work in thorough manner, when he
selected the corps OF census takers. who
will have charge of the counting heads
in this country. To slight the work
would be worse than to leave it en-
tirelv undone The 300 men have been
chosen and now the country will watch
them in their work for after it is com
pleted the official stamp of the govern
ment must be placed on it and the peo-
pie want only the truth to have Uncle
Sam s o X on it. 1t is true, some mis-
takes will probably be made for the
work of taking census is often
baffled 1t may be some of the workers
will at times feel that the estimated
number of inhabitants of certain
place will suffice, but such estimate
might be misleading. For instance, Il
few weeks ago, many of the Glenwood
people thought we had population of
over $500, but careful census re
vealed the fact that we had but 2,0l9.
Should estimated figures be taken over
the country and should be as far from
actual conditions as they were in our
ease, it is easy to see that when the
final total was made up. the United
| States would hardly have room for the
people said to live within her borders.
After all. it will be no difficult task
to get reasonably accurate figures and
if extra care is taken the real num-
her of heads should be counted and
varying estimates cast aside. The cen
sus as taken by the government is the
only means we have of knowing our
population. People are forced to de
pend upon the figures given out from
Washington and as the people are in
the habit of making the census report
basis of calculation, if the report is
false. the result is easily seen. The
men who will have complete charge
of the taking of the census should take
pride in their work and we believe they
| will, but if it is found that any Of
them are sighting their duties, they
| should be dismissed and others given
the places In fact, we want accurate
figures.

THE POST never supported Edward
7. Taylor nor voted for him in county

not be expected to have any special po-
litical interest in him or any love or ad
miration for him as a democratic sena-

accusation of fulsOme praise or a de
sire to throw boquets in his direction

In an editorial, which seems to have

the inactivity of foreign powers while

Asparagus Culture.

Asparagus closely follows rhubarb,
sending up its shoots as soon as real
warm weather comes to start
growth. The shoots should be Gu.
when about 6 to 10 inches long and
all tender parts cut in short pieces
about half an inch long and cooked
Ike green peas. The asparagus is
not only delicious. but has certain
medical qualities like rhubarb. 1t
acts strongly on the kidneys and
seems to be natures tonic for toning
up the system after long cold win
ter. From 100 to 20o roots will sup
ply the family. depending on its
size. All varieties are good The
roots should be set in burrows about
eight inches deep. The plants can
be dropped like potatoes about one
foot apart and covered With earth
about one inch deep and as the
plants grow, fill in about them until
the furrow is level The ground
should be cultivated and all weeds
kept out In the fall and spring OF
each year. the field should be well
narrowed over and rotted manure
applied and narrowed in. The rows
can be sailed to keep the weeds
down and the mddles cultivated
with hoe. Thus Is the culture very
simple after TIE first year. The
stalks should not be cut for table
use until the second or third year
after setting. but all dead grass"
should be moved and burned every
fall. Just before winter. !,

sPUDs IN IOWA

Up in Iowa the spud raisers are in
vesting in automobiles and yet there
is no state in the union that produces
as fine pototatoes as does the farmer
nized in the eastern markets as being
the finest that were ever served to a
critical people and our farmers are
making money each year from their
crops. In speaking of spud raising in
Iowa the Marshalltown Times Repub-
lean said recently: Some of our far
mers have discovered that a ten-acre
patch of potatoes at 800 bushels per
acre will buy an automobile with one
crop and leave the land available for
another At Marshalltown they are
building a $125.OO0 denatured alcohol
plant with which to make alcohol from
corn to run the farmers automobiles. y
That sounds good. but from fnan'
cial standpoint we have the Iowa man
skinned mile Ten acres of cherries
in Garfield county will buy the auto,
the Iowa man IS ten acres and his crop
and still have enough left to buy the
land on which to build the alcohol
plant. The Iowa man lives in n good
country but when it comes to making
money, we have him beaten to fraz-
sic.

THE POST regrets very much if the
dates for the district fair are to inter
fere with the date of Grand Valley S
fruit day which was announced early
in the season as September 15. How
ever, we predict that the interference
will be more imagined than real since
it is well known that the attendance
on the first day of Glenwood' S fair is
always slight The farmers down the
river as well as others will no doubt
feel loyal to the Grand Valley enter
prise since they will still have three
days in which to attend the fair at
Glenwood. We understand the original
date of Glenwood s fair was not to in
clude September 10. but when it was
decided to hold four days instead of
three this day was added. more ns Il
preparation day than anything else
and we cannot believe it can serious
ly interfere with the Grand Valley un-
dertaking. The Post has suggested a
change in date, but this seems to be
impracticable and we are told by those
in authority that the original dates
must stand There is no reason, how
ever, why either of these undertakings
should interfere with the other and we
sincerely hope for the success of both.

TEACH CHILDREN TO SWIM

1t is a wonder to many of our visl-
tors to see the number of little boys
and girls. who swim in the big swim
ming pool and seem TO be perfectly at
home in the water Diving, jumping
from the spring board or swimming
across the 600 feet is n small matter
to these youngsters, yet how many
children there are, who although they
live close to water, have never learn
ed to swim and should they be cast
into the water would drown unless as
sistance reached them at once. Per
haps few of the Glenwood parents rea-
lie what an opportunity they have III
the big swimming pool into which they
can take their children and teach them
the art of swimming. But look over
the list of towns in the state aud see
how few there are that are surround
ed with the opportunities that Glen
wood children have.
The present summer. has brought
forth no bit of reading more distress
ing than the report of Supt. longfel-
low of the United States volunte,r life
saving service for the month of June,
saws the New York Evening Mail Ac-
cording to his document there were
l.l26 drowning in the United states
and lO6 in Canada in that one month,
as against 62l in the United States and
81 in Canada in the month of May.
In the state of New York during the
80 days of June. ia persons met death
by drowning. 80 of whom were children.
The drowning in Pennsylvania number
ed 9s, of whom 81 We're below the age
of 2l. Massachusetts reported 81 cases
and Illinois 81.
These figures tell heart-rending
tragedy of the outing season. How
many of those who lost their lives in
our rivers, lakes and canals might have
been saved had they been able to swim,
no one can say but the figures as to
the ages of the victims Indicate that
large proportion were children and
presumably unable to take care OF
themselves in the water. There is in
effable regret in the thought that many
of them might stil be among the living
had they been instructed in youth in
one of the simplest and most healthful
of outdoor recreations.
The art of swimming is so easily mas
tered that there is little or no excuse
for ignorance of it in any community
bordering lake, a pond or a stream,
be it large or small. It is as graceful
as dancing and ten-fold more whole
some: as stimulating as tennis and far
less difficult to do we'll One might al
most wish that there were attached to
every school, public and private,
fully equipped swimming pool in which,
lnder capable instructors, lessons in
swimming should be compulsory ON
every pupil.
