VS.. ENTERPRISE

The word conser> alton is an al
Turing term and at the first impulse
every enterprising American would
be for it-he might not know what
it meant. but he would be for it any
way. So when Presiden: Roosevelt
established the department OF con-
servation under the interior depart
ment and placed Pinchot at the helm
to write orders directing American
citizens what they could and could
not do on government domain, they
were being introduced to system
which sounded fine, but which has
been reversing the old established
principles of the government OF en-
encoura cement of settler and miners
to the greatest possible extent.
The public domain has been COB
bled up by this department so fast
in the past eight years and so many
thousands of our citizens have been
embarrassed in the requirement OF
homes or mines, that cry has gone
up from the west so loud that con
gress has been forced to call halt
and the interior department is seq
regating vast tracts from the forest
reserve which should never have
been touched under the timber re
serve rule.
The government has its army of
agents out in the neld discovering
as fast as possible where the Nalu-
able water power sites are. where
oil coal and other valuable mineral
deposits might reasonably be expect
ed to be found, and are almost
daily withdrawing all such tracts
from entry by the enterprising citi-
zen.
II has never been a government
agent who has been the valuable
pioneer and pathfinder of our re-
public. 1t has always been the
sturdy pioneer. lured by the oppor-
tunity for the requirement of
home or valuable mine, who has
penetrated the Businesses of our
mountains and subdued our plains
and civilized the undesirable spots
of the domain, and now comes along
Uncle Sam in the garb of an agent
of the conservation bureau and
warns the prospector, the rancher
and the homesteader off till Uncle
Sam can determine in his own good
time. whether there are any sub
stances under the surface of this
tanned frontier of greater value than
the homestead valuation of $l.25
per acre.
Ten days ago it was seven million
acres withdrawn: last week it is
three millions more in another To-
cality and the notice of these vast
Withdrawals no longer causes a men
tai ouestion-they are becoming so
frequent, But what about the
chances for the pioneer and pros
pcctor? Is he to be relegated to
honorable mention in history" with

Irrigating Potatoes

Potatoes need the least water of
any Of our crops. but they need 1t
late in the season; and this crop
should be grown only where the late
water supply is assured.
Proper moisture conditions should
be provided by fall irrigatins and
plowing, in loose soil: or. in heavier
soils by disking as the frost goes out
in the spring. that the ground may
hold The snow and lose as little water
as possible. Soils that cake should
be plowed late in the spring. after
irritation. Thus. a supply of mois-
ture will be secured beneath tie
roots and watering the potatoes viii
be Unnecessary until late and the
plants we'll along. The gradual feed
ing up of water from beneath Is
much better. so long as 1t lasts, than
irrigation, which suddenly furnish
ing surplus of water is apt to cause
over setting or resetting.
Hence. the rule not to irrigata un-
til the potatoes have set, or at any
rate until the plants show signs OF
ulSkAAcos Al lue Ease VI thaiN Pp'.''tNS'
the tubers are set early and water
must be used early. or the crop Will
be made without it. In very dry
years setting of late potatoes may
hold on SO long, even with moisture
present, that the stimulus of irriga-
tion IS required to start the tubers.
Except on gravelly or steep lands.
water should be applied first only in
every other row. to avoid over stimu-
lation. Then. the alternate row is to
be irrigated soon, and after that
every row at intervals that keep the
root soil moist that growth may be
steady and the tubers free as may
be rom second growth
Irrlgation should cease long enough
before harvest so the tubers can ana
ture in dry earth and be well curcd.
To have the ground wet during the
last growth produces tubers that are
watery and that shrink badly. TO
have the ground very wet by irriga-
tion or rain after growth ceases
makes the dirt stick to the potatoes

ROW ABOUT SETTLED
FOR DENVER COMPANY
Especial to the Tribune)

Especial to the Tribune)
Denver, August 3.-After weeks OF
negotiations between the conflicting in
terests that control the Denver Reservoir
Irrigation company, definite settlement
was reached yesterday. and as result
work will he resumed at once on one of
Colorado's greatest irrigation enterprises,
which has been at standstill for nearly
two months on account of financial
troubles arising largely through a con-
test for control of the company.
This information was obtained last
night on unquestionable authority. By
the terms of the settlement, the Maybee-
Tibbetts Bond company of Philadelphia
agrees to dispose of the SOC, 900 worth
of receivers certificates authorized by the
di.trict court at 30 cents on the dollar,
providing S5S5. 900 for the work. OF
this amount CSC. 600 is to be paid into the
treasury Of the company by August 10
and $lOO, GOO on the first of each succeed
ing month until the entire amount is
paid in.
The suits that have been instituted by
local stockholders Of TIE Denver Irriga-
ton company against the Trowbridge-
Niver bond house of Chicago aggregating
s., ,0OO, 900 are to be dismissed. The
receivership will be continued, at least
temporarily.
The Trowbridge-Niver company and
Henry l.. Doherty interests, which are
closely associated with the bond COM
pany, have agreed to furnish an ad-
ditional amount of money sufficient to
insure the completion of the work before
winter, and provide ample water for the
irrigation next year Of 100000 acres of
the most fertile land In Colorado, all
practically at Denver's door.
The irrigation company has arranged
to meet the interest on the bonds of the
districts under the system that mature
In December, SO as to relieve the farmers
who have had no water this year, and
for that reason have produced no crops.

WELD COUNTY CROP OUTLOOK

With the filling of the streams
with water as result of the recent
rains, there is now assurance that
the crops of this county. while not
reaching the mark set by some OF
the best years in the history of the
county. will be very fair, and 1t is
the opinion of the potato men that
the higher prices will offset the
shortage in the crop.
While many of the dry farmers
have been burned out entirely there
are others who will save part OF
their crops and the corn is said to
be in good shape out in the Grover
district.
Generally the outlook is very fair
and while Weld county has seen
more abundant years she has like
wise suffered many poorer seasons
than this which is on now.

The fascination that clings to the

sishtseer at the circus or the zoo
never seems to lag and with that
end in view the management of the
Great Parker Shows have paid more
than ordinary attention this season
to the presentation of their animal
show. The title is too common place
to give the slightest idea of the mag
nitude of the attraction that is con-
ceded one of the best ever carried
by any carnival company, and with
the selection of Capt. Cardona, for
many years engaged in the German
trade in wild animals, the pinacle of
perfection in trained wild animals
has been assured.
