About the Stork System Of
Savin1s,
Savings.

Our whole commonwealth is inter-
ested in the matter of impressing upon
the minds of the present generation the
Importance of accumulating savings.
The Stork System of Savings is SO
novel and interesting that upon its
adoption in community everyone is
DESTROYS of knowing what it is and how
they may avail themselves. of its op-
portunities. The P. Petersen Mercan.
tile Co., has secured the exclusive use
of the System for Julesburg and vicin-
lty, and its operation and benefits may
be briefly explained as follows: Upon
procuring the name and date of birth
of any baby born since Jan. l, 1909, a
deposit of one dollar will be made in
the Citizens National Bank and regu-
larly entered to the credit of the baby
in the Stork pass book; the pass book,
with miniature bank will be delivered
to the parents in name of the baby and
thereafter, the depositor will receive
5 per cent on all purchases of merchan-
disc from the P. Petersen Mercantile
Co., made by the parents or friends of
the baby by giving the pass book num-
Der.
The fund so accumulated will insure
the child an education.
These deposits belong absolutely to
the child and in case of death or other
emergency, may be withdrawn by its
parents or legal guardian, the account
may be added to like any other savings
bank account independent of the regu-
lar percentage on purchases and will
accumulate the regular interest as al
lowed by the bank on other savings de-
posts.
The educational features commend
the idea to every good citizen, and
where in use is strongly endorsed a.

Poisoning by Sorghum.

Sorghum, Kafir rorn and johnson
grass are often poisonous, when grown
without sufficient water and fed green.
One case has come under my obser-
servation already this season. Seven
cows were turned in to clean up small
patch of Kafir corn that was badly
stunted on account of drouth. Having
dim recollection of some danger asso-
ciated with pasturing Kafir corn the
owner stayed with them, as he said,
ito see that they did not bloat." In
less than FIVE minutes one of the cows
began to staSger and died before she
could be driven from the field. Three
more died and the remaining three
were greatly depressed, but finally re-
covered.
This incident calls to mind similar
occurrence at Brighton, Colo, several
years ago, when 30 head of mich cows
were turned in to small patch of Kafir
corn growing above the ditch, and 10 of
them were dead in thirty minutes.
This Brighton incident lead to an &C.
tive investigation of the cause of pois-
oning in these cases. Professor Avery,
of the Nebraska Experiment Station,
came to Colorado at the suggestion of
DR.. Geo. H. Glover, and succeeded in
in demonstrating the active poison to
be hydrocyanic. or prussic acid-one of
the most deadly poisons known.
This has been dry year. and from
now on until frost comes beware of
pasturing second growth gorghum OF
Kafir corn. l. E. NEWSOM.

One reason why winter wheat does
80 much better than 8 ring wheat in
in this country is the fact that we har-
vest it nearly a month earlier than
spring wheat and the crop is cut before
the hot spell comes on, which so often
damage the spring wheat. 1t is ma
tured before the conditions which are
largely responsible for rust seem to
Affect spring wheat.

That a large percentage Of the grow

In examining the wheat cosning to
market. ne find much of the white
wheat contains Large perosatage of
soft grains which are called BY millers
yellow berries. This wheat usually
sells at from six to ten cents less on the
market than No. 2 hard wheat.
In some wheat growing districts,
men have eliminated yellow berries"
by careful selection and the use of
breeding piats. In this way they have
kept their wheat practically free from
yellow berry,
1t will not pay wheat growers in
Colorado to wait for improved seed I'M
til they can breed it themselves. be-
cause they can buy improved seed at 4
csst of from 81. 80 to e q bushel, and
and the increased price at which they
can sell wheat from improved seed will
pay the cest Of improved seed several
times over. Last year dealer shipped
. car Of wheat from improved seed the
same day he shipped q car Of the
same variety from common seed. The
two cars arrived the same day at an
eastern mill. But the wheat which was
grown from improved seed brought ten
cents per bushel more than did the
wheat grown from common seed.
Aillsrs demand wheat which is even
in size and hardness of grain. The NoA
2 hard winter wheat gives about 20 peT
cent more high patent -four than the
soft wheat, and alfo yields about six
pounds more -four. The high patent
flour usually sells for twenty cents more
per hundred than common -four.
As the wheat is grown for -four, the
millers will pay according to the pro-
ducts it will yield. and the growers of
wheat should be guided by the demands
of millers when they decide what seed
to plant.
Smut in the wheat also reduces the
price which the miller can pay. But
smut is easily controlled by treatment
with formalin.
Formslin treatment has been de-
scribed by many. One pound of for
malin is dissolved in As gallons of water.
This may be sprayed over wheat spread
on cloth or on a tight floor. The
grains should then be covered 20 as to
keep the gas among the grains. After
covering, leave it three hours before
uncovering. Seed treated in the morn
ing may be sown in the afternoon.
Experiments in North Dakota show
that seed treated with formalin make
more vigorous plants than untreated
seeds, provided the seed is smutty.
Treating seed hastens termination if
put into moist seed bed. The grain
should be treated just before seeding.
Varieties that have been proved in a
locality should not be discarded because
Of smut. The seed should be carefully
graded and treated for smut. Then, if
it yields well, and is of quality ID
by the market, it should be
kept. ]. E. PAYNE,

tural College, Fort Collins.

Mr. James A O'Neil's house, Hen
