The first of the week the Alma.

communication from one Of Ashley's
most prosperous farmers. regarding
the fact that it pays to raise sugar
beets. 1t reads as follows: =,
"I wish to say a word in favor OF

our land better, and not farm so
many acres: but raise more bushels
and tons off from an acre. 1t will
leave our land in better shape. and VIC
need not work so hard to get the next
crop planted.

National Farmer. "Only climatic

Continuing. the National Farmer
says: at has been clearly demon

beet belt than is any other crop
grown on the farm. The only hazard
the farmer is confronted with is the
unfavorablc climatic conditions. and
these are the same with every crop
the farmer plants.
"No risk is encountered in market

the ups and downs which attend the
growing and marketing of other farm
crops. The farmers price is fixed and
there are hundreds of individual in.

Rocky Ford Basketball Team Tied

The Pueblo Star Journal of Satur-

the basketball games in that city on
Friday afternoon and evening:
'In n very fast game of basketball

Will Reorganize Naval Division.
Plans for the reorganization OF the
Fifth Division or scout cruiser di
vision, of the Atlantic battleship fleet
have been announced at the navy de
partment.
The Montana, recently returned
from n winter at Guantanamo with
the marines, will go into reserve July
1. and be overhauled at the Ports
mouth, N. H., navy yard. The Salem
and Chester will join the fifth division
on that date. The Tennessee will also

this work, the Salem or the Chester
will go into drydock.

For the first time In history, exhaus
tive tests as to the efficacy and adapta
bility OF dirigibles and aeroplanes In
war will be held at Hampton Roads
about the first of August in conjunc
ton with the naval maneuvers which
will take place then.
Not satisfied with the usual method
of mimic war, actual ammunition viii
be used on the aircraft and the naval
authorities will have some method OF
judging as to the accuracy with which
the guns now In use In the navyscan

approaching in airships. For this pur
pose immense kites, made In shapes
similar to aeroplanes, will be used
The dirigibles will be manned by

guns OF the land and navel Notifications
will then be trained on these attack
ing parties" and the officials will have
some ground for Judging just how
much they would have TO depend upon,
were an enemy actually to attack us
through the air.
England, Germany and France have
made a number OF experiments regard
ing the efficacy OF the smaller guns In
repelling attacks on an air enemy, but
this will be the first time in the worlds
history that the three and six-inch
artillery has been utilized for this
purpose. Another unique feature OF
the tests will be the fact that each
vessel taking part in the experiments
will be allowed to use its guns accord

the ordnance department has an
