FARMERS CONGRESS

From Mr.. Chisholm, who was
delegate to the Farmers Congress
at Fort Collins the Bird to Sth of
January, we learn that this meet
ing was called by the Agricultural
College for the purpose of CONSOLE
dating the farming interests of the
state, and the congress was made
up of delegates from every farmers
organization in the state, Mr..
Chisholm representing Del Norte
Potato Growers Association here.
The meeting was very largely at
tended and very enthusiastic.
The manager of the Agricul-
tural College has made arrange
ments to do experimental work in
the San Luis Valley this coming
season, and will send one of their
experts here to conduct the exper-
iments in potato growing. A s.
acre plat of ground will be rented
near Del Norte and experiments
will be carried on to develop an
early white potato, that is much
needed here, also to determine the
best late varities and the best
methods of cultivation. The ex-
pert believes that this valley and
especially the vicinity of Del Norte
is capable of producing the best
potato possible in Colorado owing
to our peculiar advantages of soil
and climate, and they will do
everything possible TO place in the
hands of our growers all the avail
able information that will enable
them to produce the highest grade
of potatoes. Further they will
send to their experiment plats at
Greeley and TT. Collins seed pota-
toes. from here for demonstration
purposes. AS it is believed that
seeds taken from here should give
those districts n better. harder
seed than they can get from the
northern states. and which will
assist in building up a great mar
ket for seed potatoes raised in this
valley. We feel that every farmer
in the valley should arrange to
avail himself of the knowledge
that will be gained from the work
of the experimental plat here by
watching carefully through the
next season all the processes en-
ployed and reading carefully the
bulletins that will give the result
of the work herc.-Prospector.

BARLEY FOR FEED

The surplus corn crop of Kan
sas and Nebraska is yearly becom-
ing less and less. Corn prices
have risen until corn can no longer
be SO lavishly used, even in Kan
sas and Nebraska where it always
holds the cheapest price. If our
feeding goes forward, we must
grow our own feeds.
OF these, barley is one of the
most promising. Barley will grow
under greater variety of soil,
climate and altitude than most any
other grain crop. Colorado climate
is well adapted for its growth. AS
a feed barley is practically equal
to corn. For putting on a high
market finish corn is about eight
per cent more valuable than bar
ley, pound for pound. For young
stock and for the first weeks of
fattening, barley is superior to
corn. 1t will produce a meat of
better flavor and superior quality.
The amount of meat it is capable
of producing, per acre, is fully as
great as the best corn in the corn
belt Eight hundred pounds of
pork per acre have been produced
on barley in Colorado, a meat
yield rivaling the very best of the
corn belt" With feed like bar
ley, which we can grow at home
cheaper than we can import corn,
why import corn to make a poorer
quality of meat?
The highest priced pork on the
market at present is barley-fed
pork from Denmark. 1t COM
mands higher price in the En-
glish markets because of superior
quality. 1t does this in spite of
the fact that it completes with the
very best American corn-fed pro-
duct. Why a Colorado feeder
should want to import corn in
order to produce a meat of poorer
quality is one of the mysteries of
Colorado agriculture.

new PLAN TO GET A JURY
Veniremen Examined Separately, At
torneys Believing Previous Meth
DDS Influenced Others-Third
Day of Hyde Case.

Kansas City, Mo-. Apr. 13.-After
parent unconcern for two days in the
court room, Mrs. Logan Swope gave
way to her emotions and wept bitterly
as she talked to newspaper men when
the trial of DIR. Hyde opened today.
Recalling her home when Swope was
alive and to the serious factional strife
apparent in the Swope family, the gray
haired woman contrasted it with the
present lonely residence.
"The old home is no longer the place
it was when Colonel Swope and Miss
Hunton were alive" she said. Those
were happy times. Il am not in this
court by choice. My presence is due
only to a desire to see justice done and
the guilty convicted"
While Mrs. Swope talked her daugh-
ter, Mrs. Hyde, sat few feet away,
laughing and joking with her husband.
She did not know her mother was cry
ing for she could not see her.
The attorneys today adopted a new
plan of examining veniremen. Each
man was called separately into the
jury room and interrogated. Hereto
fore the unexamined veniremen had
been permitted to hear the questioning
of all prospective jurors. The attor-
neys believe the answers tended to in
fluence the opinions of the other ven-
iremen.

Candidate for President Declares
G. o. p. Has Endorsed the
Democratic Issues.

Washington. Apr. ia letter from
william Jennings Bryan. written from
Rrazil. which will be read tonight be-
fore the democrats who attend the JEFF
ferson day banquets here and at In
dianapolis, was made public today.
The letter contains the usual anti
trust declarations, but a portion which
caused a furry among politicians is
contained in the paragraphs:
But there is another item of news
which has just come to my attention.
President Taft in his Lincoln speech at
New York on February 12 attributes
the present high prices mainly to an
increase in the production of gold and
the consequent enlargement of the vol
ume OF money This unexpected en-
dorsement of our party's proposition
I'm 1896, when we demanded more mon
ey as the only remedy for falling pri-
ces, is very gratifying. How valuable
that admission would have been to us
II il had been made during the cam
paign of that year when republican
leaders were denying that the volume
Of money had any influence on prices
and asserting it did not matter wheth-
err we had much money or little, pro-
vided it was all good.
I'VE may now consider quantitative
theory of money established beyond
dispute and proceed to the considera-
ton of other questions.
But the president and his predeces-
sor have admitted the correctness of
the democratic position on so many
questions that further argument is
hardly necessary on any subject; we
may now take judgment against the
republican party by confession"
