NOTHING MUCH NEW
IN DANDELION KILLING
Fort Collins, June 16, 1909

Fort Collins, June 16, 1909.
Mr.. G. U. Hardy,
Canon City. Colo.
Dear Sir:
In reply to your letter OF May oath.
which has just this day been handed
to me, will state that We have no
short cut method of ridding lawns of
dandelions. Our lawns at the college
are simply being overrun with this
pest. and as money is tight, we cannot
get the required amount to help care
for them properly. We have adopted
the plan therefore Of plowing up the
lawns and reseeding about every five
years. We plow the lawn in the spring
and let it lie fallow during the season.
In this way practically all OF the
seeds germinate and young plants are
killed by the cultivation. The follow
ing spring the land is seeded and we
are able to hold them in fairly good
condition for about five years. Where
one has only a small lot, they may be
kept in control fairly we'll by the use
Of gasoline or any other similar ma
terial. Very truly,
w. PADDOCK,
Horticulturist.

From Gunnison, lola, Cebolla, Sapi-

every day shipping quantities of nsh,
sometimes as high as thirty-hve ex-

ing the four summer months OF good

month are shipped from nearby re-
sorts along the Gunnison and side
streams. This is a total Of forty tons
or 10000 pounds, worth $4,000 in the
open market. 1t is not strange then
that a million eggs must hatch and

veloped into . sore nscessitating the

trouble. or. at least. or affording the
patient relief, but without satisfactory
results.

REVIEW OF THE WEEK.
Company Is Organized for the Culture
 of Pecans.

Columbus, Ga, April 6-(Speeial.) 1.-The Georgia and Alabama Industrial Index will say tomorrow in its regular weekly issue:
 'The importance that pecan culture is assuming In southwest Georgia is Illus trated by the filing of application for charter for a s25, 600 company in Dougherty county, following the purchase of a 75o- acre tract of land by Chicago people. The company will be devoted exclusively to the growth and sale of oceans, this being the second corporation chartered in Dougherty county in recent months for this purpose, and western capital being liberally represented in both of them The toothsome nut is in great demand and the owners of the south Georgia groves believe that they will reap rich returns from their investment. Incidentally the purchase of the 75O acres above referred to shows the rapid enhancement of south Georgia land values, for the price at which the tract was sold, s25 per acre, was an advance of just exactly s15 per acre over the selling price last year.
 Several railroad construction items of interest are reported for the week, among them the organization of company which will built an S0-mile road from Fitzgerald, Ga, to Ft Valley, Ga., shortening the distance between that section of Geor- gia and Atlanta, the state capital by some S5 miles, The money is now in hand for the building of the proposed electric road from Fairburn, Ga, to the suburbs of Atlanta, and the construction contract may be let this week. A charter is now being prepared for company which pro- poses to build an electric railway on the east shore of Mobile bay.

deyout, perhaps believe that the field
for charitable and even for missionary
work is quite large enough right here
at home.
While there may be ground for de-
cided difference of opinion on the gen.
eral question of foreign missions. 1t is
difficult to see any room for discussion
as to the inadvisability of missionary
work by American girls among the
Oriental population of some of our
great cities. The Chinaman at home,
taking him as a whole, a sort of COM
posite picture of all the Chinese classes,
is good deal of man. But the China
man of vicious, criminal class seems to
be able to dig a little deeper into the
mire of degeneracy than any other de-
generate in the world.
The inhabitants of the Chinese quar-
tiers in New York, San Francisco and
other American cities are not fairly
typical of the Chinese people as a whole.
They are largely low-class Cinnamon,
with liberal sprinkling of criminals of
the most vicious type. If Americans
want to carry on missionary work in
such places, well and good. But let
them use American men for the work. 1t
is-or ought to be-a mans game, in
which American women have TO bust
ness taking a hand!

FOR HOUSE OF DELEGATES.
STATE TEACHERS.

The forty-secOnd annual assemblage
of the Maryland State Teachers Asso-
citation is being held this week in the
mountain region OF Garrett county.
Mountain Lake Park is the delightful
spot that was determined upon for the
meetinglwhich formally began yester-
day. Last year the assemblage of the
state.teachers was at the other extreme
of the state, upon the shore at Ocean
City. The change from the salty air at
the sea level to the rarifed atmosphere
of the high hills serves not only in the
way of variety, but makes for fair play
in the matter of travel alternately for
the eastern and western sections of the
state.
The four-day program prepared for
the. tfortysecond session includes a
great number of special addresses by
eminent educators, and most of the
topics thus discussed will but open the
way to a:general discussion of the sub
jects treated of. These annual gather
-ingsAof the Maryland teachers bring
into touch snoI only hundreds of the
teachers from various sections of the
sta tie, but the school examiners from
nearly all of the counties and many 9TH
ers who, officially OF otherwise, are in
terested.in educational matters.
Through its fortv-two wears of ex-
istence thei Maryland State Teachers
Association has undoubtedly accom-
plished good that cannot be measured
in the promotion of the cause of primary
education in this state. While the an
nual gatherings Of the association con-
duce to the mutual pleasure OF those
who make use of them, they have also
served tofinspire and broaden those en-
gagged in educational work.

PRESIDENT TAFT

President Taft has hardly been long
enough in office to afford opportunity
for just comparison with Mr.. Roose-
Yelt,, but that fact does not abash the
modern magazine. Though such period
ieals are necessarily made up some
weekstbefore publication, we already
find writer in the American Magazine
who isl able to institute an elaborate
analysis of MIR. Taft's regime, showing
wherein it differs from Mr.. Roosevelt s.
Without pausing to discuss whether the
writer has relied more upon ancient
history or upon prophetic insight for
his CONGRATULATIONS, we are willing to
admit that he makes curious analogy
when he says that the atmosphere of
the Roosevelt administration was one of
moral impulse, that Of Taft is one of
legal definition.
The writer likens Mr. Taft to a civil
lawyer, who ''placates as far as ne can
and then fights doggedly" He has "a
large, easy, peace-loving nature,
shown by his efforts to consulate the
south. He has also the civil lawyer
dislike for publicity, in proof of which
the fact is adduced that but little news
has come from the White House since
Roosevelt left it. Perhaps we need
just such summer zephyr after a
stormy spring, says the writer, land
perhaps we shall get more of them than
we really need"
1t is hardly necessary to emphasize
that both types Of men are essential.
Since we could not have both IN the
White House at the same time, it is
perhaps happy chance that one should
succeed the other Mr.. Roosevelt stirred
up the subsoil and scattered the seed.
Under Mr.. Taft's placid and persuasive
policy, bounteous harvest should be
assured. The country as a whole seems
to have realized this almost as quickly
as the alert magazines could blazon it,
and our far-reaching industrial revival
is a consequence.

A TRAGIC STORY.

The tragedy of Lame Bob" East
man and beautiful Mrs. Woodill in
Maryland is an example of the ancient
truth. Both paid the price of their sin,
and the old axiom that truth is stranger
than fiction is exemplifed. There is
rarely more tragic story. Both dead.
To both were melted out the awful
wages of their sin. Those who seek
the fascination of sin are likely to pay
for it with their lives or that which is
worth more than life. The worst Of
men expect women who are false to
others to be true to them. Suddenly
discovering that the woman to whom
ne has given his guilty confidence and
conscience is without faith, even to her
guilty love, the man is goaded to fury.
He is murderer. And he falls upon
his sword. The true and loyal woman
and wife who is joy all her life-a
shining light for tortuous steps-a sup
port for the psychic life-is the mother.
The women who won't be mothers can
not be depended upon. And, after all,
the men who are thus punished for their
sins are themselves responsible. Seek
ing sin, they find it, and, in finding it,
they die. Those who seek the Cleo
patras of the world will die the death
Of the Mark Anthonys.
