4 Painful accident

While driving four horses to a disc
harrow last Monday morning, Homer
Reed, employed on the Sale farm one
mile north Of town was the victim Of
an accident which had no witnesses
and resulted In serious injury to the
young man who has only been resi-
dent OF Ordway but short time, COM
ing here from Kentucky. Archie Sale
was working in the same field dis.
tance OF eighty rods from the scene OF
the accident and when he reached
Reed he found him badly distigured
about the face. The horses had been
frightened in some manner and ran
away dragging the young man some
distance. In the mix-up it is thought
one OF the horses hOofs came in con-
tact with Reeds face and the result
is a broken jaw bone. Monday noon
he was taken to the MinneQua hospi
tai in Pueblo where his injuries were
taken care of and at last reports he
was recovering nicely.

Tho Now Town Keor tho Boston Farm,

Plans for the proposed new town
near the Boston farm are growing
apacc. The report is chat lots are
selling rapidly, that large numbers Of
people from far aud near are pre- pairing
to locate there.
Last week IA petition signed by a
long list OF influential gentlemen was
presented to krorf Bros, asking them
To locate in the new town a branch
house Of their mammoth establish
mcnt.
The petition goes on to say that II
the people OF the new town had the
assurance that kropf Bros. would do
for them what they have done for
Ordway they would have no fears for
the future OF the place. They realize
that Kropf Bros. have worked for the
good Of the community; that they
have sold the best goods at the lowest
prices; that they have persistently
held prices down and thus helped the
common people.
1t may be that this scribe Is dream
ing about this matter, but as one
interested in the new town, 1 should
say that If such a petition had not
been presented to this firm, 1t should

Insurance Rate Reduced

An impor ant change has been
made in the insurance rate on resi-
dences in Ordway by the board OF
underwriters. The rate IS reduced
from 10 cents to IS cents and the ex-
pnsure changed from SO feet to 10
feet. The reduction altogether
amounts to about 25 per cent and
means great saving to property
owners in Ordway 1t has been all
brought ab,ut by the foresight OF the
town board in purchasing additional
tire apparatus. Two good hose carts
and small chemical engine gives
the town good fire protection and the
amount saved during one year by the
property owners will pay for the ad-
ditional fire apparatus recently in
stalled. Ordway is gradually coming
into her own and some day we may
expect to even see electric lights at
the Missouri Pacific station.

DAYTON to Have FowIer Wafer

The Day ton Townsite Company has
made arrangements with the Fowler
Pure Water Company for a pipe line
to the new town Of Dayton, which
will soon be building on the Missouri
Pacific near the Boston farm. This
water will be permanent thing and
will be on tap for the opening, which
will be- held sometime In June. That
1t will be an important factor In
building up the district tributary to
the new towusite goes without saying
for this spring water is conceded to
be the best for drinking purposes of
any 10 the state.
Lots are still selling rapidly and
new settlers arriving every day.
Harry Gull, who Is local agent for the
promoters. says the Boston farm takes
on the appearance of holding an auc-
tlon sale every day and the quantities
OF farm implements aud other articles
stnred there bv the newcomers makes
it difficult to get around.

Biscayne Bay Is a shallow body OF
water from three to six miles wide by
forty miles long; its depth nowhere
exceeds twelve feet. Outside Of this
are the keys, or islands, as we would
call them, narrow and long like the
bays. These islands are at times
covered with the tide waters, In times
OF long continued east winds or hurri-
canes. On the eastern shore of these
keys the Atlantic surf beats against
the mangrove trees with Its constant
fury. but still these hardy forests
thrive and are almost impenetrable
to man or beast. The beauty of these
bays is unsurpassed-a soft, limpids

Alfalfa SEED

There Ia a great deal Of Inquiry this
season conceruing alfalfa seed. This
is no doubt due to the fact tnat the
native seed crop Is very light and the
demands for the seed very heavy.
A large amount OF seed from foreign
countries has been shipped into Colo
RADIO to supply this heavy demand.
Most Of the imported seed comes
from Germany. Whether this seed
Is raised In Germany or not Is much
disputed question. Hamburg, Ger.
many, Is one OF the largest clearing
points for alfalfa seed in Europe. Seed
crops from all the seed producing re.
gions Of Europe are cleared through
Hamburg, so that II Is very hard to
tell the source OF the seed when
bought 10 German markets.
A number Of samples OF this import
ed seed have found their way to the
Colorado Agricultural College for test
Ing. Much Of this seed Is apparently
Of good Quality,-Quite free from weed
seed and other adulterations. How
ever, some OF 1t has carried consider.
able amount OF nOxious weed seed.
Some Of these samples were repre-
sented to be Turkestan. So fur none
of these samples examined was Turk
estan. The Turkestan seed is rather
easily distinguished On account OF Its
color, and certain physical markings.
10 there is very little chance OF max
log mistake when examining It; yet
there seems to be considerable
amount of alfalfa seed on the market
sold for Turkcstan, which is really
something else.
The question OF where the seed is
grown IL q very important one, much
more important than Is usually
thought. The Colorado Experiment
Station Is now testing over twenty diff
ferent varieties OF alfalfa seed, which
was produced In rs many different To-
calities throughout the alfalfa.prO.
ducinR regions OF the world.
In frequent cases the seed produced
in warmer climates than our own has
given very unsatisfactory results.
Much Of the crop from seeds produced
10 these milder regions kills out the
flrst year. II is impossible to tell
from looking at the seed whether II
was produced in a warm or In a rigor-
Gus climate, consequently. II is impos.
sIble to tell. from an examination of Il
sample OF alfalfa seed, whose source is
unknown, whether it is good seed or
not. it may be bright and clean. free
from weed seeds and have u high
terminating power, and yet be almost
worthless because Of its source. Where
grown in a climate milder than our
own, IL will almost invariably give
dissatisfaction.
