Mr.. Davis Kokss Report

Yesterday Rev. Davis went out to
the Berry farm west Of this city, tn
make some Investigations regarding
the test made OF the smudge pots ut
that place on the night OF April 18th.
and he gave us the conditions OF
weather as he found them that night.
AT ten o'clock the thermometer,
registered % degrees above, at 1880
it had dropped to 81 and at this time
they fired 60 OF the heaters. AT IL
o'clock outside the district 1t was 20
while inside IL had raised TO 30. The
conditions then remained abnut the
same until about $3.50 Il. IL. then 1t
dropped to 23 outside. They then
fired forty more OF the heaters, which
were added To the same territory. At
four o'clock the temperature had
raised on the outside to 25 and 81 on
the inside, where 1t remained until 5
O'Clock: From that time on the tem-
peraturc steadily raised to % at
6:30.
All of the inside temperature was
taken at Il height OF q feet above the
ground and the temperature taken
ten feet above ground showed about
two degrees higher than the six foot
altitude.
Mr.. Davis states that all buds in
the heated territory were saved with
a few exceptions where advanced buds
were killed before the test. Outside
the heated territory all advanced buds
were killed while those not So far adj
vanced were more or less damaged.
Those not beginning to open were un-
injured. 1t is the opinion OF those in
touch with the experiment that IT. is
decided success and IL they were
used all over the county there would
be fully 100 per cent more fruit. 1t
looks to US that this would satisfy the
most skeptical in regard to the heat

Experiments to bs Made BY Sugar
Company in Raising Boots.
Irrigation Spreading

Pueblo, Colorado, May 1. 4.-There Is
every indication that the Missouri
Pacific country tributary To
Pueblo, and extending from this
city down into western and west
central Kansas, Is figuring on
taking up beet culture on u large
scale this year.
Indications are particularly strong
at Scott, Kansas. where there Is great
activity in irrigation, with the be.
lief that the Whitcwoman valley
offers great opportunities In that di-
rection. Experimental growing Is
about to be undertaken, under the
auspices OF the United Sugar Il Land
Company at Garden City. Certain
tracts OF land are to be set aside. ex-
pcrinIcnted with, and directions fol-
lowed. With the spread OF irrigation
in that section, 1t Is felt there will be
great measure OF success
The Colorado end OF the Missouri
Pacific Country already has tine
sugar mill at Sugar City. Other near
by sections are taking up beet culture
and promising to make good deal
out of IL.
There can be no question" said an
intelligent beetman recently, "thnt
this Missouri Pacific country can do
rs well in beets rs the Arkansas VAL
ley of CCntent or the northern Colo
RADIO districts. Irrigation is coming
In more and more, and with that, the
beet question as we'll rs the alfalfa
problem should be entirely solved. l
believe we shall soon see the day when
that region will be almost as nearly
beet tticld as the Arkansas Valley"
There are two factors at work in
Missouri Pacific country, and each is
doing It's share. One Is the CONNER
already talking OF forming central
organization similar to the Arkansas
Valley Commercial association, the
big federation recently formed in the
Valley of Content, aud that Is so use
ful TO The latter country. Another is
the Eighteenth National Irrigation
Congress, which. through its publici-
ty department and the encourage
ment Of its officials, has been noticing
the Missouri Pacific section and its de-
vclopement for some months past.
The assurance, repeatedly given,
that the Missouri Pacific section cx-
poets to have adequate representation
here at the congress, September 26.3O,
makes the latter body anxious to re-
ciprOcate.
The development Of this section
applies equally th the Kansas and Col
orado end OF it, and the publicity OF
the Central kansas-Colorado Boule-
ward has attracted attention to the
Missouri Pacific country very much
OF late.

Dear Doctor:-I desire to call your

Board Of Health, held March 3Oth:
Whereas, Rabies has been and Is
now endemic In Colorado, and as
human life Is endangered by this con.
ditiou,
Therefore be 1t resolved, That all
local boards OF health Ia the state be
requested TO enforce the muzzling OF
all dogs allowed at large for period
OF 90 days from this date and that all
dogs running at large, unmuzzled, be
destroyed.
A large number OF rabies have CO.
CURED In Colorado during the past
year and the Infection Is growing
mure widely disseminated from month
to month. The Board feels that II
stripvept measures are not taken at
once to stamp out rabies, 1t will only

ords at pi esent show that between 10
aud so persons. principally children.
have been bitten by dogs suffering
from rabies. In all OF these cases
the Pasteur treatment has been ad.
ministered early. consequently no
deaths have occurred. l would re-
specttully request that your board OF
health at once take action along the
lines advised In the resolution. Under
the power conferred upon local boards
OF health by statute, you have ample
authority to institute these measures,
Yours truly,

In compliance with the above In.
structions. the t'wn board has ordered
that all dogs found running ut large

Almost all farmers change the
crops on some OF their fields every
year, but few use system based
on the latest knowledge OF the hand
ling OF soils, crops, stock and plant
diseases aud insects. 1t Is only when
this knowledge Is made use OF In the
planning OF Il cropping system that
the greatest net return per acre may
be expected.
When there Is regular arrange.
ment Of crops on a farm In such Il
manner that the soil fertility Is main.
net return for long series OF years,
the arrangement is spoken OF as crop
| rotation.
No two crops have Just the same
effect on the soil, the same develop
ment OF root system, nor take the
same amount OF food elements from
the soil. Several classitlcatiOns are
made OF field crops based on the char
acteristics OF the plant, It's effect on
the soil ahd the method OF raising
them. One classification is according
to the length Of the root system.
Alfalfa. clover and some OF the root
crops aud native prairie grasses have
long, deep-penetratins root systems
which enable them TO get food and
moisture from the subsUil mucl! below
the reach OF ordinary root systems.
When such plants become established
they are able as Il rule, To withstand
considerably more drought than the
shallower rooted plants.
Crops like barley. milo, turnIps, and
many OF the cultivated grasses are
shallow rooted. On this account they
often decrease the fertility and mois.
Lure content OF the surface soil much
faster than the deeper rooted crops.
In spite Of its shallow root system,
milo Is able to withstand severe
drought. This Is due largely to its
ability to make use OF what water
there Is in the soil and 1t will reduce
the water content lower than any
other field crops. 1t Is also able to re-
main dormant for long periods OF
time. and will start In and grow as
soon as 1t gets moisture.
Among the moderately deep-roote d
plants are oats, corn, wheat and some
of the cultivated grasses.
BY alternating THESE three classes
of crops on the land much better re-
suits will follow than by raising one
kind continuously. since the combined
root systems OF the the three will pen
citrate larger area Of the soil which
results in more economical utiliza-
tion of plant food and soil moisture.
The soil will be left in better phys
ical and chemical condition and the
crop yield will be larger.

Ammsnss irrigation Project

Denver, April 2s.-If the legal de-
partment OF the state decides that
authority is contained in the statutes,
the state land board will enter into a
deal with w. A. Colt for the sale OF
$4,000 acres nf land with water rights
attached, In Otero and Bent counties.
Colt and associates have presented
a proposition for the irrigation o!
this land by the construction OF a
ditch eightv-seven miles long. 1t will
cost IS, ,OOO, 600 to carry out the irriga-
tion scheme OF bitches aud reservoirs.
and Colt declares he has the financial
backing and is ready to put up Il bond
to guarantee the execution OF the
deal.
State Engineer Comstock. who has
Investigated the plans, pronounces
them feasable.
The proposition being considered
by the board Is the Offering for sale of
the $4,000 acres aJa price which
shall net the state an average OF $40
per acre. But with the land there Is
also to go water rights, SO that the pur-
chaser OF the land at the state auction
will have to buy the water right that
is possibility Of the future.
The board agrees that Colt may
charge $40 an acre for his water
rights, but he accepts the same terms
Of payment as the state allows for
sale Of Its lands, eighteen annual In.
stallments with interest at u per cent.
