When Potatoes viii Freeze.

Fort Collins.-As Colorado is being
settled by corn growers, many OF
whom do not realize their need to
learn new ways when they become po-
tato growers, it is distressing to see
so many Of them regard the time Of
potato harvest as optional. somewhat
like corn husking or beet harvest says
c. T. Fitch, Colorado Agricultural
College. The experience Of years has
established dates past which it is dan
gerous to leave potatoes in the ground
subject to heavy frost losses. Waiting
for potatoes to ripen is not wise; it is
better to devise ways to ripen the ear
lier another season and save what IL
on hand this time. At 1000 to 5000
feet altitude October 1st is about the
danger line and October 10th Is very
risky for the completion OF potato
field work. At Greeley, Colorado, the
leases used to read October goth, but
the growers feel safer to be done se?-
eral days sooner. as damage has oc-
Cured on the 10th. Lower still, about
Julesburg. for instance. October goth
is quite safe. Old growers recognize
these limits OF safety. New ones will
do well to adopt them.

New Mexico.

At conference between the vice
president of the company and other
eastern investors and the consulting
engineer, 1t was decided to push de-
yelopment in all parts of the Socorro
mine, Mogollon mining district. and
block out reserves sufficient to JUS
tify doubling the capacity Of the mill.
The Mogollon Gold and Copper
Company, which Is doing considerable
development work on its property at
Cooney, made = rich strike in the
Florida group, the richest that has
ever been made on that property. The
ore carries heavy gold and silver
values on a good strong vein four feet
wide.
A very rich strike of almost solid
silver ore was made upon the Chicago
mine in the Black Hawk district. fiji
teen miles west Of Silver City. 1t is
estimated from samples that have
been carried to Silver City that the
ore will run from $4,000 to $1,000 a
ton. The rich strike was made at a
depth of eight feet although the shaft
has been in ore from the grass roots.

Great Irrigation Job Completed

Greeley.-According to L. l.. Stim-
son. chief construction engineer for the
project, the great North Sterling irri-
CATION system. by which 10000 acres
will be brought under cultivation at a
cost of $2.OOO,0OO, is practically COM
pleted. Engineer Stimson will now
begin construction of the Sedgwick
reservoir. in Sedgwick county, to irri-
gate 10000 acres and cost 100000. In
stead of the water decreasing in the
Platte river, in the northeastern part
of the state, because of the drain on
1t from reservoirs and bitches near its
source, it's flow here has greatly in
creased during the last few years be-
cause of seepage from the vast irrgat-
ed tracts.

Denver.-The Department OF the

of the fact that Brigadier General Earl
D. Thomas, now commanding, will re-
