CROP CONDITIONS

Look Good to Everyone.

Throughout This Section Continue to
Look Good to Everyone.
People ofthis section may not realize it,
but it is nevertheless fact that the
crops Of the Arkansas valley are distinc-
lively representative Of the agricultural
Colorado this year. this section being
blessed with an abundance of crops.
while other sections of the state are hav-
ing troubles. The western slope is not
making the showing this year that it has
done in the past. and It is said that
northern Colorado is in bad shape through
lack Of water. Even tho Denver papers
admit that. The Arkansas valley on the
other hand looks better than for many
years. Everything growing is at its best.
taking the valley as whole.
Someone has made the suggestion in
jesting way. but nevertheless an appliea-
ble one. that the State Board Of Immi-
grafton should pay the Arkansas valley
to make an exhibit at the Land show at
Chicago. and also at the Irrigration Con-
gress. for nowhere else this year in the
whole state are the crops to be foand
that will make the showing possible from
crops raised in this section. While such
a thing would not be feasible. and the
Board Of Immigration is not to take it
seriously. It nevertheless is an index Of
the sentiment around these parts. With
the crops. and the sentiment Of the peo-
pie that way. this valley is booked for
mighty prosperous year.
Alfalfa cutting Of the second crop is
well under way. and small grain Is finish
Cd. On every side big yields are being
heard from.
Sugar bests are large now. SO large
solid foliage shows. and It shows good
People going by on trains can see why
this valley exesls just to look at some Of
the beet fields passed in this locality.
Cantaloupes are also doing their best to
excel the other valley crops. Once in a
great while grower finds one that Is
ripe enough to pick. and It is :promptly
taken to his dearest bosom friend in town
TO keep as q souvenir. That bosom
friend takes pleasure in showing every
one he knows his first eantaloups. It
looks good. too. Growers think they will
Be shipping within few days now.
Apples and orchard crops are looking
mighty fine also. and are not to be dis
counted by the grain and root crops.
Senator Crowley when in Denver last
week surely established the orchard
business in the Rocky Ford district, and
10 there Is anyone in the whole town Of
Denver who talked with the Senator at
all that does not know that the Arkansas
valley - going to beat the world with
fruit this year. then the Senator over
looked bet. A few boxes Of early ap-
pies are seen being shipped by express
even now.
All in all this valley is great. The
harvest will soon start. Beets will be
headed faetoryward shortly. and the
eantaloupes will be started east. Then
the money from them is turned loose in
the section and everybody is happy.
Noticeable thing this year in the valley.
speaking about being happy. Is that
everyone seems filed full Of that happi-
ness and boosting spirit. Maybe the big
crops did it and maybe not. Anyway it
Is here, and Is surely helping.

ODD THEORIES
OF ATHLETES

Athletes always develop a lot oil
theories about little tricks that may
help them to win. About as old
system as any was that of college
broad Jumper whose, name is on the
list of intercollegiate champions
The man was not a smoker, SO
that an occasional puff at cigarette
made him nervous. In order 10 IN
duce this feeling of agitation he was
accustomed to light cigarette mo
ment or so before he went on the
field for his jumping.
He contended that a man had to
be on edge to be either good
sprinter or good jumper, and that
even if this feeling of slight agita-
ton was induced by smoking, it was,
Notwithstanding, a good thing. he
said. in fact, that he rarely could get
any sort of gingery feeling before
the competition if he didn't get him
self worked up artificially that way.
Another man who was more or
less successful quarter-miler, both
as a collegian and club athlete.
nerved himself up for the start OF
his races by swearing profusely at
himself. He had the idea that If he
got thoroughly angry at himself and
swore a lot it would take his mind
off the race that was about to start.
Consequently, the men who were
on the marks next TO him on each
side were likely to hear some half
muttered curses and profane words
that they might think were meant
for them. In fact, this athlete had
to explain on more than one occa-
sion after a race that he wasn't say
ing anything about anyone, but Just
to himself.
1t is very often the man who
hasn't true courage who adopts
these devices for heartening himself
up artificially. However, there have
been men whose nerve was unques-
toned, who resorte1 to devices to
work off what they called hoodoos
and to stimulate themselves arti-
Ificially for their competitions.

HIGH SCHOOL TRACK
. TEAM GETTING READY
Inter Glass Games Will Be Held In
May--DuaI Meet TO Be Arranged
With Neptune Of Asbury Park.

Plans are being made by the
members of the track team of the
high school for the coming season.
The annual inter-class games will be
held as usual. Lewis Compton, in
the high jump, has already done five
feet two inches. The loss of At
wood Belcher, last years star, who
is at present with Jamaica High,
Long Island, will be keenly felt in
the pole vault, sprints and hammer
throw.
John e. Maher, who was the fast
est 440. yard sprinter the high
school has ever entered in any event,
will be sadly missed, as he was the
backbone of the relay team, which
Perth Amboy evening news., 1910-03-26

won many events throughout the
state.
This year the school will be repre-
sented chiefly by Crowell, McCor-
mick and Roessler in the sprints,
and Barney Browning, Greisen and
Schwartz in the mile. A strong
team is expected in the field events
such as Compton, Crowell and Nc
Cormick in high jump, Barnes and
Macon in the pole vault, Mccormick
in the shot-put, Kennedy and Gro
well in the broad jump; also in the
hammer throw, Kennedy.
1t is probable that dual meet
with Neptune high school, of Asbury
