Of blue and white a bunch of red roses,
were graduated last night as nurses from
the Bellevue Training School. at No. 440
East 18th street, each receiving her diploma

given certificates of postgraduate courses.
The exercises were conducted by DIR. John
w. Brannan. president of the board Of
trustees. who also spoke to a large audience
of visitors and guests on the in- -0Ortance OF
fresh air in the home and where patients
were being cared for.

reports. which showed. among other things
that a library. a five-o'clock tea. a dancing
class and Bible class were among the
added attractions for the nurses and that six
wards of the Mills school had been taken
over by the training school. The most i'm
portant appointment of the year. he said

DRAINAGE is OF IMPORTANCE
Ranks Next to That Of Irrigation ane
Conservation of Water Supply
in Arid Regions.

The matter of drainage is second
in Importance only to that of irriga
ton and the conservation of our waite,
supply and on it hinges the future
prosperity of the entire west, says
Field and Farm. Too much water
used in irrigation, a leaky reservoir
a ditch or canal running through pot
GUS earth, OF a bad well may be the
source of this oversaturation and the
Colorado courts have just made the
companies liable for any damage thai
may occur. We all know how the
surplus water gathers up the miner
al salts of the land, carries it below
where the water comes to the surface
again and the alkali is deposited BY
the evaporation of the water. Thu
soone we begin to drain certain dis
tricts under a law passed by the las
legislature just SO soo will we make
our farms more valuable. 1t means
not only the reclamation of bottom
lands and those already impregnatei
with seepage but also the saving O.
many other farms that are now pro
ducing crops but which in a few Year,
will be come water-logged and o
productive. 1t is the history OF every
irrigated country that unless such
steps are taken, land that was once
dry and arid becomes soaked with
water and the surface so strongly al
kalied as to be of no value for farm
ing purposes. Those of us who have
figured ON the drainage of our farms
find that we are unable to accomplish
anything without the cooperation o.
our neighbors and it was for this rea
son that the district drainage law wal
passed.

A Good Position

Can be had by ambitious young
men and ladies in the field of

Since the S-hour law became eff

companies are establishing stations
throughout the country there is a

Positions pay beginners from $40
to 500 per month, with good
chance Of Advancement. The Ma
tional Telegraph Institute operates
six official Institutes in America,
under supervision Of r. r. and

graduates into positions. 1t will
pay you to write them for full de-
tails at Davenport, Ia, Cincinnati,

BEST SEED POTATO CHANGES
For Irrigation Regions the Greeley
Variety Appears to Be Of
Particular Value.
jBY C. L. FITCH, COLORADO AGRI'
CULTURAL COLLEGE.)

jBY C. l.. FITCH, COLORADO AGRI.
CULTURAL COLLEGE.)
At attitudes under 5000 feet. bott
for dry land and irrigation, Wisconsin
or Minnesota seed, or dry land sect
from elsewhere in Colorado, affords
the best change. At Greeley it has
been proved that the best crop is pro
duced from the seed grown from seed
brought in-at least with seed of the
quality now obtainable, so that it pays
to bring in but about one-sixth the
seed planted. For irrigation regions
over 1000 feet, Greeley seed appears
by many tests to be in every way the
best. 1t is we'll stored as a rule, and
Greeley growers are more particular
about type and purity than those Of
any other large region. In medium al
titudes, notably at Carbonate, Colo
RADIO, it has been possible to maintair
seed stocks by selection, or by ex
change with nearby districts of high
er altitude; and the Carbonate Peach
blow is becoming very popular fol
seed, although it is not adapted te
high attitudes nor to any but deep
rich, mellow soils.
We regard it one of the best dis
coveries of recent years that Greeley
seed is good for all the higher oun
tains, as it makes possible pure, well
stored seed at a reasonable price
There is some evidence that high al
titude seed is good for Greeley grow
ers. If this is proved, it will make il
possible to have seed change com
plete within the state. The Colorado
Agricultural college hopes, within two
years, to introduce a new element
into the Colorado seed potato supply
and that is to furnish we'll bred strains
to seed growers, SO that within a few
years all Colorado seed potatoes may
have behind them a vigorous produc
tive inheritance, such as has been al
ready secured for our seed wheats.
