Colorado to the Fore

Hundreds of letters are written
each day about Colorado. This we
know to be true from the numerous
inquiries daily received ut the Colo
RADIO Agricultural College. There are
two Glasses OF inquirer>-non-rcsi-
dents and those living within the
state. Strange as IL may seem, nu-
merous letters are addressed by Colo
RADIO people to the United States De-
partment OF Agriculture, in total ig-
norancc OF tht fact that quicker and
more authentic Information about
Colorado agriculture could be supplied
by direct application to their home
Institution. We can forgive nom
resident for not knowing how or
where to get the most satisfactory
and reliable information about agri-
culture in Colorado, and would natur
all expect these inquiries to be di-
rccted to the chief authority of the
United States, from whom prompt
and authentic information is always
ubtainablc. In addition to receiving
data under the seal and bearing the
authority Of the government. inqui-
rics about Colorado soil. climate, alti-
tudc. opportunities for investment,
agricultural resources, crops uhcir
varieties and yields, and other pOtcn-
tialitics, are kindly referred to the
Agricultural College Of Colorado.
whose officers and experts are gladly
and diligently adding their advice for
the benefit OF all.
For the benefit of ColoradoanS, be it
said, that inquiries relating to agri-
culture and kindred subjects may be

That the election last Tuesday
would result In favor Of the Anti-Sa-

some OF the supporters OF the saloon
ticket but that so large majority
would be In favor OF keeping Ordway
dry was surprise to many. One es-
innate late In the evening. made by
one OF the "wets" had the majority
down at 35. which would have been
more than double that OF two years
ago when the saloons were voted out
by majority OF IL.
The result is most gratifying to the
supporters OF the Law and Order
ticket. many Of whom put In stren-
uous day bringing in the voters.
Headquarters we're established In the
old Cash Bazaar building where those
who we're not posted on the marking
OF ballots were instructed by those In
charge. The good work of the ladies
OF the various churches is largely re-
sponsible for the victory won.

Mcssina, the Sicilian town which
last year experienced the terrible
earthquake, Is gradually sinking into
the sea. Within the last year the
land along the sea coast sank about
eighteen inches. The promenade on
the sea front. which was greatly dam
aged by the earthquake and partially
washed away by the tidal wave. has
now in Il way been repaired. as its
level has been raised by hcaping
rubblc and loose earth on it: still -cv-
eral steps OF TIL" different landing
stages On this promenade originally
built above the water and which re-
manned dry after the earthquake, are
completely under water. Likewise
the tongue of land or peninsula in the
shape OF n sickle. which forms a nat
ural breakwatcr in the harbor Of
Mcssina. IS under water. CurOusly
enough there Is an ancient tradition
to the effect that Mcssina is doomed
to be swallowed by the sea and disap.
pear like the land which once united
the north coast Of Sicily to Italy and
its south coast to Africa.

irrigated and Dry Alfalfa

When putting in crop that Is to
be irrigated. it Is important to have
the Held in the best possible condition
and l'v"l"d thoroughly In order to ex-
p,nlIlr the flow OF water later on.
Make the lateral bitches before the
crop is planted and then sow between
the bitches in order that no seed will
get into them and cause the plants to
come up and interfere with irrigation.
Sow the seed rs early as possible after
the bed has been well prepared at the
rate Of from eight to twelve pounds OF
seed To the acre. Common practice is
to use twenty pounds, but experience
has shown this to be more than Is
necessary, so that eight to twelve
pounds of seed are now regarded as
quite sufficient.
AS such weed seeds as dodder, sweet
clover and narrow lcavcd plantain are
likely To be mixed In with the alfalfa
seed, IT. is important to get samples
from the dealers and have them ex-
amined to determine the amount OF
weed seeds. These samples can also be
tion. Simply place several hundred
OF the seeds in moistened cloth or
paper and keep moist for five to seven
days. AS this will supply all the con-
ditions OF termination the seeds will
sprout II they possess the vitality es-
sential to growth.
Differences OF opinion exist con.
cerning the advisability OF sowing al
falfa with or without nurse crop.
Different growers have been success
ful In establishing a stand under both
systems. II nurse crop Is used,
something that does not lodge easily,
like oats or spring wheat should be
chosen aud an amount OF seed smaller
than is generally used should he
planted. In the case OF oats, sixty
pounds OF seed to the acre will be
sufficient. A point recommended by
some successful growers is to SOW
bronze grass, or blue joint, around the
bitches in places where the crop is not
likely to be cut. This will furnish
fall pasturagc and will be better than
alfalfa. If the alfalfa is seeded with.
out a nurse crop, 1t ought to be cut
back after it is up six or eight inches.
Do not rake the hay off the field, but
leave IL lying there to protect the
young root crowns. The cutting back
will tend to kill the weeds and cause
the alfalfa to root more deeply.
When seeding alfalfa on dry farm,
1t is important that the land be sum.
mer fallowed the previous year in
order than moisture may be accumu-
lated. Sow the alfalfa as early as
possible and do not use a nurse CROP
Cut the crop back as soon as IT. has
made growth OF six or eight inches
the same as on an irrigated field. 1t
Is good practice to disc alfalfa fields
occasionally in the spring as soon as
they are dry enough in order to admit
air to the roots and to conserve the
moisture by stirring up the surface
soil. Field and Farm.

Orchard Experiment

Relieving that as good fruit can be
raised in the Arkansas valley and cs-
pccially around La .Iunta in Otcro
county as is raised in any other part
of the state local business men have
raised money with which to try an ex-
pertinent in orchard heating. Enoug II
smudgc pots will be purchased for Il
test this spring and placed in some or
chard near La .Junia and will be man
aged by an experienced man.
Only IA small tract of land will be
used for the experiment, however. the
idea being to convince the farmers in
this locality that If they would plant
fruit trees and take as much care of
them AS is done in the western part OF
the state as good fruit can hc raised
and their land made as valuable as
any in the state.
a committee of business men has
been selected to purchase the pots and
fuel and select the site. 1t will no
doubt be watched with interest by
Otcru county farmers and will result
in many Of them planting their land
or part of it in fruit that is known To
be adapted to this locality.
