Other speakers were Prof. P. X.
Blinn, of the agricultural experiment
station at Rocky Ford. who spoke at
length on alfalfa; l. A. Moorehouse
of the department OF agriculture; C.
L. Fitch. of the experimental station
at Greeley, who spoke on the culu-

who delivered an interesting talk on
pestiverous insects, especially those
that are the bane of the horticultur-
lists existence; Judge Sleeper, of Ok

eblo.
Prof Fitch adverted at length to
the ravages caused by the grasshop-
pers in the northern part of the state
during the past year. stating that the
damage they had wrought there was
in excess of FIVE millions of dollars.
He invited the ranchers of the Canon

some steps to destroy the grasshop-

that they threatened to be still worse

Prof Blinn delivered fine talk on
soil culture. also on crops that can be
raised In orchards. Professors Key
ser and Hindman dwelt on soil culture
and alfalfa. After each OF the lee
lures a general discussion was held
between the speakers and the audi
ence and many interesting points
were brought out. On motion of Pres
ident Andrews OF the Fremont Horti-
cultural society a vote Of thanks was
rendered the lecturers for their splen-
did talks. and. similar commendation
was extended to the Santa Fe Rail-
iOau COMPANY iho puphN obh AttN

The tour OF the "Soil and Alfalfa"

doubtediy, result in a more careful
and methodical study of the ailments
OF agricultural plants and the finding
of remedy for many Of the insects
that prey upon them. as well as as

water for irrigation purposes. The
visitors left here at II o'clock for Pu-

members returning to their respect

is probable that in the near future a

The greeting given to the lecturers

Automobiles belonging to members of
the Canon City Business Mems associ-

when the Demonstration" train ar
rived and the visitors were taken for
a trip over the new scenic highway to
the top of the Royal Gorge and back
to town over the famous Skyline
drive. an excursion that they enjoyed
immensely. 1t was a unique exper-
fence to most of the party and they
were loud In their praise of its
beauty. The road was proclaimed to
be one OF the most inspiring in Amer
lea and the Royal Gorge pronounced
the rival of the Grand Canon of Ari-

made a picture that was indelably fix-

OF the party from the time is started
on its tour on Monday morning until
its arrival at Canon City. More than
a thousand people a day, according
to Prof. Hindman, had gathered at
the stopping places OF the train to
hear the lectures; a greater number
than had ever assembled before in
the history OF Colorado to hear a
similar series of talks on scientific

There is something worse than

the church to produce life. The church
that does not advertise Is behind the
times and is nursing empty pews
and he who rails against the minister
for advertising is suffering for a

Gov Curls Are Coming in From China

Note how the price has scared. In
1907 hair was worth only about TWEEN.
ty-fve cents a pound, wholesale, and
we imported only 56,132 pounds of it.
while in 1909 we brought in 445,733
pounds, with the price at something
more than seventy cents. Such rate
of growth In face of so rapid an in
crease in price is almost unprecedent-
ed in other lines of commerce and is
another illustration that woman wants
what she wants when she wants it and
is going to have it-expense be
hanged!
Our diplomatic representative leaves
us in the dark as to what woman in
China is doing for hair. If the trade
keeps on, she will certainly be bald in
course of time. He pays a compli-
ment, however, to the genius of the
Chinese artist by remarking that Chi.
nese hair is treated at home in various
ways so as to match almost any tex.
ture desired" leaving us to conclude
that the diversity of color not infre.
quently noted on the same head is
due to lack of circumspection on the
part of American women.

WY ASHlNGTON.-The census purea"
w has made public figures concern
ing enough localities to indicate GER
tain interesting trends in the grown
of American population. What stands
out first is, of course, the general IN
crease in population all over the coun-
try. While this growth Is perhaps
more striking in the middle west, OF
even in the far west, the east Is niue
behind those sections Increases III
city population rarely fall below ~
per cent for the last ten years. Ofteh
the increase is considerably in excess
of so per cent.
This growth has been expected, but
there will probably be some surprise
to find how far the growth OF the
cities exceeds that Of the rural dis
tricts. Here, save in few localities,
there is an increase, but generally II
Is below ten per cent.
Some spot in Illinois may mark the
center of population for another ter
wears. It is worth while to emphasize
