Ax0THER VcTORy

Eads were the victims last Sunday,
Ordway winning batfest by the un-
wieldy score OF IL to II. Though there
were numerous errors made by both
sides yet the game was interesting.
The visitors batted first and crossed
the rubber no less than six times on
three hits, three errors and II ileldcr's
choice. They punched hits again In
the second and got another two runs.
After that they could do nothing
with Thaycr until the eighth when
they got two more runs on one lonely
hit aud il load OF errors.
Ordway started In to get runs from
the first inning, and they needed
them. We got three In the opening
stanza on nn error, n hit man by
pitcher and the home run by Hartley.
Ordway added a run to the total In
each OF the second, third and fourth.
The home team went out one, two.
three in the fifth. The sixth was
sure lucky, for tho boys got eight safe
hits or Hines scoring seven runs. One
more was added In the seventh and
three In the eighth. These three
were ample to win the game. In the
first OF the ninth, Eads filled the
bases on an error and two singles and
Musselman amblcd up to the plate,
dragging his name behind him. How
on earth lie did 1t II Is impossible to
tell, but he got a home run bringing
in three men In front OF him. That
ended the scoring, the next three men
going out In order.

Most Valuable Forage

or the many plants that have been
introduced into America. perhaps the
most important is alfalfa, or lucern,
which was introduced into California
by the early Spanish colonis Is und
gradually found IL natural habitat In
Colorado. where it forms the basis Of
the agricultural industry OF the
State. Under both irrigated and non
irrigated conditions OF soil, it pro-
duces the most luXuriant and valuable
forage known.
The production of alfalfa in Colo
RADIO in the eighties marked the be-
ginning OF an important agricultural
era. Fed to lambs alfalfa nets u re-
turn OF $l2 II ton, not including the
fertilizing value Uf the manure,
which is returned to the soil. The
value to the semiarid regions OF this
staple food plant cannot be estimated.
Alfalfa has proved 1.-THE modern
alchemist Through whose laboratory
the lire.giving elements OF plant food
are conveyed to the soil, the rich
chemical and physical properties OF
which were inherited from the ages.
While at Fort Collins recently Sec
retary Wilson's attention was drawn
to the alfalfa nursery. upon the plats
OF which numerous varieties OF alfalfa
from Arnbia, Spain, Turkestan, and
Siberia, are being tested. He was
particularly interested in the alfalfa
plants growing from seed furnished
by the United States Department of
Agriculture and that had been
brought to America by Hanson, the
agricultural explorer, who visited
the northern portion OF Siberia In an
effort to secure varieties or the hardy
forage plants OF that region. This
variety OF alfalfa has Il yellow flower
and produces Il wiry, sprawling. and
netted sort OF plant whose usefulness
and value are well known TO the in
habitants Of Siberia. 1t Is drought
resistant and may be found to be OF
value to our more arid conditions OF
the West.

To Bse Keepers

Through the kindness OF the editor
| am addressing my letter to the bee
keepers OF the north side. We all
know the advantage OF organizing and
we all know the failures and diiIlcul-
ties, even II we succeed. The cause
OF failure almost always Is that II
small organization cannot afford to
employ an efficient manager and lack
the patience and confidence to edu-
cate Il member up to 1t. We know
that our honey las been selling alto
gether too cheap, but we just grOwl
and let II go. Now without any effort
on our part, the Colo. Honey Producers
association extends its hand to pull
us out OF the mire. The same condi-
tiOns that VIC labor under caused the
bee keepers In the northern part OF
the state to fOrAl this association or
stock company composed of the honey
producers and from that time have
had the satisfaction OF knowing that
they received all the market afforded
minus a small per cent which We are
assured does not exceed 2! per cent?.
Their manager, Mr.. Frank Ranchfuss,
is undoubtedly one OF the best posted
honey dealers In the state, II not In
the United States. He Is a more than
ordinarily shrcwd man in that he be-
licves IT, pays to be honest and has s:
reputation for absolutely correct grad
ing as far rs Colorado hoEey goes,
(which Is all over.) Now as l said be-
fore, we do not have to beg to got
into this association. We are kindly
urged to come. The purchase of one
share OF stock $4,000 will make us
members. The stock bears 10 per
cent interest besides dividend pro-
vidcd they handle our honey. some
thing we are not Obliged to do: still.
l think we should let them handle
the honey, at least this year. y good
many have bought stock now and H.
require proper grading but really the
rules are simple. You will lind them

heart and II VIC once realize the pleas

grading We will never return To slip.
shod ways OF yOre. IT. Is probable
We will be offered more than market
prico this-fall with hope of keeping
the Honey Producers Association
out. knowing full we'll that II they
succeed they can get IT. back In the
years to come.
The association wishes to load 4
car about September with associa-
tiun honey II possible, for which they
assure us VIC not $500 for No. !, prob
ably better. II they cannot get assOci-
alton honey they will buy either here
or elsewhere enough to finish the Car

They bought Il car ut Rocky Ford last

give the Yosemites of San Francisco
return game on any date the latter
may name. The Yosemites' claim that
they won last Sundays struggle has
aroused the ire of the local eleven and
they declare that they are only too
anxious to meet the San Francisco team
again.
How the Yosemites can maintain
that they scored last Sunday is beyond
me- declared Coleman today. THE
touchdown was made after the whistle
had blown and while the man CARRYING
the ball could easily have been tackled.
No one paid any attention to the run
ner who now claims to have made a
touchdown
Pete" Fielder, who refereed the
game, believes the attitude of the San
Francisco boys unsportsmanlike and
worthy Of condemnation. He declared
that the whistle had blown several
seconds before the ball was picked up
and carried down the field. He called
attention to a similar occurrence dur
ing the struggle when the Telegraphs
made a like touchdown which was not
allowed. The score will stand 8 TO
0 in favor of the Telegraphs," de-
