AGRICULTURAL DEPARTMENT
Directed by Colorado Agricultural College

Of years, the arrangement is spoken
Of as a 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 claSsificaticns are
made of field crops based on the
character of the plants, their effect
on the soil and the method of rails
ing them. One classification is ac
cording to the length of the root
system.
Alfalfa. clover and some of the
root crops. and native prairie grasses
have long, deep-penetrat!ng roct sys-
tens which enable them to get food
and moisture from the subsoil much
below the reach of ordinary root
systems. When such plants become
established, they are able as rule
to withstand considerably more
drought than the sha'lower 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
moisture content of the surface soil
much faster than the deeper rooted
crops. In spite of its shallow root
system, milo is able to withstand Sc
vcrc drought This is due largely
to its great ability to make use of
{ what water there is in the soil and
| ii will reduce the water content
lower than will other field crops. 1t
is also able to remain dormant fer
'ong periods of time, and will start
in and grow as soon as it gets mois-
ture.
Among the moderately deep rooted
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 wi follow than by raising one
kind continuously. since the com
bined root systems of the three will
penetrate a larger area of the soil
which result in a more economical
utilization of plant food and soil
moisture.
The soil will be left in better
physical and chemical condition and
the crop yield will be larger

CROP ROTATION

Almost all farmers change the
crops on some of their fields every
year. but comparative few use a
system based on the latest knowledge
of the handling of soi's, crops, stock
and plant diseases and insects. 1t
is only when this knowledge is made
use of in the planning of croppin g
system that the greatest net return
per acre may be expected.
When there is a regular arrange
ment of crops on a farm in such a
manner that the soil ferti ity is
maintained and there is large
average net return for long series

PlnrscH OIL FOR PRAIRIE DOG

Where it is desirable to kill
prairie dogs infesting a small area
a very affective method is to fumi-
gate the holes with Pintsch oil.
This is by product from the us
of Pintsch gas in railroad cars, am
can be obtained at almost any RAIL
road center where there is Pintsch
gas factory. The price per gallon IS
ony about one tenth that of carbon
bisulfid.
Three persons working together
can make the most progress with this
fumigant One person should go
ahead and fill all the dog holes that
are evidently unoccnpied. Another
man armed with can of the oil
and sack of dried horse or COW
chips follows A chip is saturated
with about two tablespoonsful of Oil
and dropped into the mouth of each
hole. 1t is well to push it back with
a stick SO that it will fall to the
bottom. A third person immediate y
fills the mouth of the hole with a
clod CT earth. IN this way a good
many acres can be treated in day
The evaporation of the gas in the
prairie dog hole suffocates any hV-
ing creatures there.
The gas is very inflamable and
care must be taken to prevent fire in
any form from coming in contact
with it. Pipes and cigars should not
be used by those who are using the
poison.
1t is seldom possible to Kill all
the dogs with one treatment. The
second fumigation takes very much
less time and material than the first
1t pays to make a clean job of the
work, for if there are but few OF
the dogs left they will multiply SC
rapidly that it will soon be necessary
to do the work on a wholesale plan
again. Thoroughness of treatmenj
Is especially valuable where an area
infested by the dogs is surroundef
by fields which are free from tht
pest.

he replied that he thought it would
be a great thing. The sugar beet

Prominent among the lovely we'd
dings Of the season was that of Miss
Ellen Smith, of Kinards, to Mr.. VIM. j..
Swittenberg, of Newberry. The cere-
mony was certainly a scene of beauty
and loneliness. The first floor of the
attractive country home of the brides
parents was decorated most elabor-
ately with quantities of chrysanthe-
NUNS, snlilax, bamboo and ferns. The
room in which the ceremony took
place was all white and green, and
the bride and groom stood under an
exquisite wedding bell made Of white
chrysantheTnums Miss Smith wore
an exquisite wedding gown Of white
messaline and carried a shower bou-
quet of white roses and delicate ferns.
She was ATTENDED by her sisters, Mrs.
J. E. Sem and Mrs. H. 3. Workman,
as danes Of honor, and the maid Of
honor, Miss Helen Smith. During the
evening the beautiful old song, "At
Nighfall,' was sung most char1ningly
by Miss Pet Merchant, and Miss Lucy
Hill played Mendelssohn's wedding
march just as the wedding party were
entering the parlor.

ments could have been carried
through several years and the amount
would not have been missed. It was
a. great mistake in our opinion that
this proposition was not accepted. vi
course some technical question was
raised, but if the citizens generally
had let city council know that they
favored the proposition, it could have
been agreed to and the paving put
down and the notes paid without any
one feeling the burden.
We hope that the new city council
will take up the matter and have some
permanent work Of this kind done
during the coming year. The saving
in annual repairs, not to speak Of the
convenience, would have been more
than the interest on the amount in
vested.

jap Cure for Divorce.


While visiting in this country with
her husband, Nine. Yenkio Ozaki. wife
Of the mayor of Toxic, seems to have
been impressed more by the preva-
lence of divorce than any other one
thing in the United States. She offers
a remedy for the disease by declaring
that II American wives will think more
of their husbands and families than
Of themselves the problem will be
solved This certainly is a fair propo-
sition and a simple way out of all this
difficulty. How Is It that the Amer
lean wives have not thought of It
before2
The Japanese wife thinks first Of her
duty toward her family; the American wife
of her duty toward herself
Now, of course, Nine. Ozaki has not
been in America long enough to meet
and become acquainted with all the
American wives and the status of their
domestic felicity. 1t is possible that
if she tarried here longer she might
find a few wives quite as thoroughly
devoted to their families as any in
Japan, and quite as ready as the Jspa-
nese to think of self second.
In Japan and other oriental coun-
tries women have only of late years
been permitted to enjoy the privileges
of education and social equality, so it
is but natural that they should think
more of man than of themselves; they
have yet to learn how to think enough
of themselves to make themselves
mans real helpmeet. In this country
woman is not only on a domestic par
ity with man, but she is rapidly press
ing toward the point of economic
equality.
But Nine. Ozaki argues again that
domestic happiness is prompted in
Japan by the fact that mates are Sc
lected by parents and she discounts
our system of letting love rule at ran
dom as tickle trick of the passions
liable at any time to fail. Imagine
INC AhOAlSdh Blll bClub plOmIbbQ Dy
papa to some chosen youth at the ten
der age of, say, 70! That might con-
duce to happiness in Japan; in the
United States, never.
How does it come that Nine. Ozaki
has laid all the blame on woman? Is
wOman's inhumanlty for woman az
dominant in the orient as in the occi-
dent? Has she ever thought that
possibly in a case or two divorce might
be the fault of the man? The propo-
sition of thinking less Of self than OF
others is sound, whether applied to
the cure of divorce or a dozen other
domestic Ills, but that of blaming the
woman will not always furnish the
answer

Marvin Hughitt,s Retirement.

Marvin Hughitt, who retires from
the presidency Of the Chicago &
Northwestern railroad after twenty
four years in that ONCE, leaves a great
work behind him. For years he has
been one of the really constructive
forces in the railroad world and one
Of the prime builders of the great
northwest. He has contributed vitality
to this era of vast development in the
lTransmississippi country. Dominant
in personality, his influence has al
ways been positive ana forceful. His
connection by marriage with Mr.. Har-
riman and by close personal and BUSH
ness association with the other great
money powers of the country, long ago
gave him a prestige that was valuable
to him in the enterprises over which
he presided, and fortunate for the
country reached by his lines.
While president of the Northwest
ern Mr.. Hughitt served as director on
the boards of the Union Pacific and
other important roads and was one of
the really big railroad men who have
done so much in the last few decades
to develop and promote business in
the west. His successor, William A.
Gardner, in all probability will pur-
sue much the same policies as Mr..
Hughitt followed. They have been
long associated together in the man
agement of the Northwestern and
there is no reason to look for marked
changes now. Mr.. Hughitt will con-
tinue as chairman of the board OF dl-
rectors and act in an advisory capacity
to the president and managers of the
road. This principle of going from
the presidency to the board chairman
ship is one practiced considerably un-
der the Hartman regime.

Expeditious british Justice.

Accepting the verdict OF the jury in
the case of DR.. Hawley H. Crippen as
conclusive, Britain's reputation for
speedy justice is again well sustained.
Without red tape or unnecessary delay
or prodigious technique in the details
OF the trial the business Of determin-
ing the guilt or innocence of the ac-
cused was proceeded with and in a
very brief space of time the jury re-
turns with verdict that the American
doctor-dentist did murder his wife,
whereupOn the court Immediately pro-
nounces the death penalty.
Undoubtedly the outcome accords
with popular opinion on both sides of
the Atlantic. The strongest argument
against Crippen was set up by himself
and his paramour, the young creature
he inveigled into the plot, when they
fed England and landed in. Canada.
If innocent, why undertake this flight +?
Great Britain is known as a land
where every man accused of crime re-
celVeS Justice.
The conduct of the trial and its re-
suit must crafty those who love jus
tice and believe in eliminating every
trivial obstacle in order to reach It..
II is lesson for American jurispru-
dence. Criminals whose guilt has
been far more apparent than that of
Crippen have escaped in this country
because of loophOles which the laws

that the prompt justice meted out in
such cases as this goes a long way to-
ward discouraging others from COM
hitting similar crimes. II Is a vindi-

Problem of Storing Food.

Whatever may the outcome OF the
proposed legislation to regulate cold
storage of fOodstuffs, the one consid-
Grafton of human hearth should be
kept in mind above everything else.
II it is, a just law may be obtained.
and If it guides further in the enforce
ment of the law there need be no more
trouble. How long quantities Of food
or fOodstuffs should be kept in stor-
age or in what volume ought not to
give serious difficulty If all interests
are in earnest about conserving peo-
pies health. 1t is a matter OF social
economy first, Industrial last.
Il should never be possible for arti-
eles of food to be kept in storage I'M
til they are impaired so that they may
menace the lives Of consumers. No
financial consideration should be great
enough to outweigh this one object.
1t is all nonsense TO say that experts
in cold storage cannot tell how long
each commodity may stand the pro-
cess.
The purpose primarily Of the cold
storage system was a good one and If
It was faithfully carried out It would
have a very helpful influence on the
householder's pOcketboOk and health
alike But the primary purpose was
not to facilitate speculation. And the
law should be so framed as to see that
men do not gamble in these neces-
saries of life, both to the physical and
financial injury of the consumer. This
cold storage system Is a splendid
thing, provided It is not abused, but
abused It becomes a menace instead
OF benefit. II Is abused when It Is
made to control the prices Of com
mOdities and contaminRte them as
we'll These are wrongs with which
the new law will have 20 deal It Il
