Tho Care of Beets

In circular letter to their grow
ers the American Beet Sugar company
has the following suggestions TO
offer with reference to the beet har-
vest, which should especially interest
those new to the business: .,t NJ
We desire to call your attention to
the necessity OF taking immediate
steps for the proper care and preser-
vation of your beets SO that you may
not suffer any loss through frost or
snow. Our previous experience justi-
fies us to recommend that siloiDg be
commenced at once and that this
work be finished before freezing
weather sets in. Your ripest beets
should be sliced first, as unripe beets
do not keep so well.
"Avoid blowing out your beets too
far ahead OF the toppcrs, because in
leaving the bcets out over night they
are apt to become frost bitten and
will soften and spoil in the silo. BE
careful not to mix leaves or trash In
with your bccts. Leaves decay rapid
ly and will cause the bects to spoil.
Leave ventilation holes Of about
one foot in diameter on top OF the
piles, four or five feet apart along the
ridge. Beets should be evenly covered
with five or six inches Of earth. y,
Swink Advocate.

CHAMPIONS OF COUNTY
Ordway Wins Doubles and
Singles in First Annual
Tournament

Early Sunday morning the autos
bearing members of the La Junta,
Swink, Rocky Ford and Sugar City
Tennis clubs arrived to take part in
the first annual tournament. The
day was ideal for tennis and many
OF our enthusiasts were present and
made no pretcnse at hiding their en-
thusiGsm. From early morning till
late in the evening the contest was
hotly wagcd and many brilliant
strokes were recorded.
In the doubles Sugar City was rep
resented by Belle and Walton: Ord;
way by Newton and Rohl: Swink by
Yeomen aud Wells; La Junta by
Thompson and Rankin: Rocky Ford
by Cline and Clore. Each played good,
strong tennis, Sugar City losing to
Ordway. Rocky Ford to La Junta.
Swink being bye.
In the second series Swink lost to
Ordway, 60, 6-4, La Junta being bye
and In the finals La Junta lost to Ord
way 6.3; 81; 6-3.
In the singles La Junta lost to
Swink, Sugar City to Ordway, Rocky

A6out Kaintoinigg fertility

When we get to thinking about the
careless smapner in which orchards
are grown in this country with no at
tcntion given to the maintenance OF
fertility we wonder how the PROPOSE
tion is going to work out eventually.
some longhead at an experiment sta
tion has calculated that an acre Of
apple trees in twenty ycars-counting
only ten full crops Of fruit to that
pcriOd-will consume l,3W pounds of
nitrogen, $40 pounds Of phosphoric
acid, and l,S95 pounds Of potash. To
restore the potash alone would require
more than twcnty.Onc tons of high
grade ashes, containing i've per cent
potash. How much of this does the
average fruit grower return to the
soil: We never saw a pound Of ashes
or potash in any form applied to Il
tree in Colorado. We must not forget
that potash is the chief fertilizer to
he applied to fruit trees, especially
after they come in bearing. Potash

safety on the Ocean.

From lbs Christian Herald.
II is but q few decades ago when
person who had been 10 Europe was
looked upon as one who had taken his
life in his hands when he braved the
dangers OF the deep, Many a person Of
wealth who longed to see the treasures
OF the Old World gave up that pleasure
for fear OF shipwreck or the discomforts
OF the Atlantic voyage, and people yet
living can remember when prayers were
said in the churches for those about to
sail for Europe. How different things
are az present Is shown by the fact that
The larger ships are as safe and steady
as hotels on shore. Aside from the in
ereasing size OF the ocean greyhounds,
the feeling Of safety on board Is due to
the invention Of the wireless, which IN
several recent instances has brought help

Our Foreign Drummers.

Undoubtedly great good win be accom-
pllshed by the action Of the State De-
partment in calling home American con-
suis abroad for tours Of the American
cities. where. in lectures 10 merchants
and exporters. they may make known
trade conditions and wants in other
countries.
More and more are our consuls com
ing to be Of use TO the country as drum
mers for American products abroad The
good they can do is incaIculable, both
in securing news OF what the foreign
trade is doing and in pointing out open
ings for American manufacturers and
their goods. The one thing that is
greatly TO be desired is fuller knowl-
edge on the part OF our merchants and
manufacturers Of the conditions of for
eign markets, the needs Of foreign pur-
chasers.
Up to within few years ago there
was not much concerted action to se-
cure foreign trade. for the market at
home was profitable and seemed limit
less. But with overproduction at home.
the need OF the foreign market is be-
coming more and more urgent, and moth
ing viii so arouse our producers 10 the
possibilities of the foreign field as the
proposed visit OF the American consuls.
1t is true that for many years the
State Department has spent money and
energy in securing daily consular re-
ports from all the countries, and these
set forth. often wsk great skill. the
most evident opportunities In the foreign
markets. But it seems to be doubtful
whether these reports have a wide cir
culation among manufacturers. once IN
while the newspapers which get these
reports make a special feature of some
of them. and then interest in them
seems TO be aroused; but It is certainly
true that these reports have not had the
beneficial results that they should have
had.
1t is therefore a brilliant idea TO al
low the consuis to leave their posts
and thus como into direct contact with
our merchants. A heart-to-heart talk

that the trustees were anxious that when

Keep Of the Track.

Considerable sympathys viii be felt with
the plea OF the Pennsylvania Railroad
that more stringent regulations should be
passed against trespassing on the right
OF way of the railroads, especially in or
near big cities. where the traffic is
heavy. Everything that the railroads
can do 10 lessen the number Of accidents
has been done-not because the railroads
are philanthropists. but simply because
they have found out how expensive II Is
to kill and MAIN people. even after they
have taken due precautions. Deaths
through collisions and through accidents
to trains are much more infrequent than
they used TO be. but the number Of peo-
pie killed through walking on the track
Is appalling.
In a circular issued by tho Pennsyl-
vania Company It is shown that during
the last eleven years more than 5o.Oo
people were killed and 5000 injured while
walking on the railroad tracks. On the
Pennsylvania Railroad alone the number
killed during this period was 1872, or 725
a year. Three years ago the company
itself instituted rigid campaign
against trespassing on It's right OF way,
and as result there were 1000 arrests
made during 1903. but apparently with
little effect. FOR in spite OF all efforts the
road managed to kill about two people a
day. On all railroads the death roll from
this cause-trespassing-ru 10 about
fifteen a day
The man who, daring, walks the tracks
OF busy railroad unnecessariIy-and 1t
is difficult to see when it is ever neces-
sary except for railroad employes-is on
an intellectual par with the gentleman
who rocks the boat or the Grass idiot
who didn't know It was loaded" The
roads really do all they can TO stop the
practice. The right Of way is posted
with innumerable signs warning people
of their danger. but it is plain that the
officials. other than railroad officials. do
not give this matter the serious attention
it deserves, and even when arrests for
trespassing are made convictions are diff
ficuit.
It viii not 90 TO blame the railroads
for this frightful mortality Looking at
the matter from a simple commercial
basis. it costs the railroad more than II
does any one else to kill all these peo-
pie. The roads would stop II II they
could. and they viii stop it If they get
the proper support and cooperation from
the local officials through whose territory
the roads run.
