WINTER WHEAT

Winter wheat has several adyan-
tages over spring wheat, and it should
receive careful consideration from
farmers who live i'll localities wnere
it can be successfully grown.
If planted at the right time, winter
wheat will make some growth in the
fall, and is all ready TO begin again in
the spring as soon as conditions are
favorable. the growth in the cool
moist spring favors the production
OF more vigorous plants with abund-
ant stools. Its early maturity per-
mits 1T to escape much of the hot,
dry weather which often Injuries
spring wheat, and does away with
considerable weed trouble by getting
the start of the weeds and being cut
before many of them are ripe.
Winter wheat assists in more uni
form distribution of the labor ON a
farm. 1t is planted and harvested be-
fore most other crops need atten ton,
Being out of the way in the spring, it

spring crops, which is a decided adj
vantage in localities with unfavora lie
summer climatic conditions or a
shortage of moisture.
The better winter wheats are hard
er and darker in color than the sgring
wheats, are of higher milking quail
ty, and consequently commando high
Ell market price for the manufacture
of the best grades of flour.
They usually give higher yield per
acre than spring wheats grown in the
same locality.
Turkey Red and Kharkoy, Turk
ey Red type, are the leading Colorado
winter wheats, the latter giving
somewhat greater promise than the
former.
They are usually planted from tie
middle to the last of September, al
though under favorable conditions
they have been planted somewhat
earlier and later tkan this with good
results
The seed should be drilled on well
prepared but firmly packed seed bed,

GROWING RAILROAD SYSTEM.

Although We all of us recognize the
immensely of The RAILROAD system of
the United States. it is not SO gener-
ally understood that it's growth is
also on a stupendous scale. Evid-
ence of this is found in the fact that
during last year there was added to
the existing railroads of this country
a length of steam road which is equal
to about one-fourth of the whole
of the existing steam roads of
Great Brittian, the increase for the
year being $3.50 miles. The total
length of railroad in the whole coun-
try on December 31st, 1909, according
to Poor's Manual of Railroads was

at the close of 1908.
The capital stock of the railroads
has reached over eight billion dollars
and the bonded debt above nine bill.

bring up the total liabilities to the
huge sum of over twenty billions of

and equipment is fourteen and half
billion dollars. The total earnings
from passenger traffic were in round

$1,a20,000, 600. These with other
sources of revenue, brought up the

COLONEL ROOSEVELT EXPLAINS

In the course of an address at At
lanta, Georgia, Saturday night, Col
onel Roosevelt disclaimed RESPONSE
bility for the tariff plank in the New
York republican platform as reply
to the criticisms of insurgent republic
cans of the west, in which they charg-
ed that he talked one kind of poll
tics in the west and another in the
east.
The colonel said he couldn't have
prevented the convention from COM
hitting itself to the Payne -Aldrich
tariff and that if he had tried he
would have lost out all along the line.
Evidently the New York brand of in
surgency is not the equality Of the
western brand of insurgency.
A writer for New York newspaper,
progressive, seeks to enlighten the
west, giving CHS testimony:
| want to say that Roosevelt has
not deserted. He simply made no
fight against tariff endorsement at
Saratoga and the plank adopted, to-
gether with that indorsing the adj
mlsistration. were made as strong as
they are in the hope that Roosevelt.
would object and thereby place him
self in opposition to Taft, as the old
guard leaders declared him to be.
1t is the belief of this writer that
Roosevelt might possibly have de-
feated the tariff plank had he openly
proclaimed antagonism to the admin
istration, but that such a declaratio
would have strengthened the side Of
the enemies who we're fighting him in
the convention.
Colonel Roosevelt now declares
that he stands by the Osawatomie
speech. his most radical utteranca IN
the insurgent republican side.
Still the colonel does not like to be-.
inyentoried as an insurgent. prefer
