TIMELY HINTS
ABOUT OATS
Analyses Show That They Are
Higher An Protein Than Corn
and About Equal to
Wheat and Barley.
(By ANTON MALMRosE.)


The market grades of oats depend
on the color of the grain and its free
dom from mixture and from dirt.
The legal weight of bushel of oats
in most of the states is 80 pounds.
About pounds of straw are usual
ly produced to l pound OF grain. The
proportion of straw may be material
ly reduced, however, in some varie-
ties and in some seasons, or it may
be materially increased. The hull usu-
ally comprises 80 to 35 per cent.
of the grain, though the range is from
little more than 20 per cent. to about
AZ per cent.
Analysis show that oats are higher
in protein than corn and about equal
to wheat and barley. They are high
er in ash than any of the other grains,
and considerably higher in fat than
either barley or wheat. On account
of the hulls, oats contain the highest
percentage of crude fiber, an undesir-
able element Oat straw contains
more protein and more fat than corn
stoyer or the straw of any other small
grain.

the wind was blowing a regular gale,
accompanied by sleet and snow. The
wind was blowing so hard that tt was
difficult to pour the oil from the buck
cts into the pots. The value of the
pots that night was in the continuous
stream of hot smoke blowing through
the trees. On the outside rows, the
pots being under the trees, the wind
coming toward the trees. the hot
smoke did not go through them, but
under them. 1t was not the effect of
one pot or dozen. but the aggregate
effect of the thousand that produced
the effect, and it was not necessary to
examine a thermometer to determine
what was happening.
Several nights of freezing weather
followed, but they were not so severe,
as the thermometer did not go below
twenty-six degrees for few nights,
and it would warm up In the daytime.
We are putting in 500 more pots to
guard against trouble this spring.

ditions, but not for freeze accom-

COLORADO
LEGISLATIVE
DOM
Priority Measure Passes.
D o ! N G s


After prolonged debate the Sen
ate, by vote of twenty-five to thir-
teen, passed on third reading the Car
penter bill with the Parrish amend
ment, which places reservoir rights on
the rule of priority and repeals that
provision of the act of 1901 prohibit
ing the owners of reservoirs from i'm
pounding any water from the natural
streams when it is required in bitches
for direct irrigation. The amendment
bill will now go to the House for final
enactment or rejection.
Senators Cross, Stephan, Tobin and
Crowley, who have waged vigorous op-
position to the bill and its amendment
declare that, If the bill Is enacted by
the House, petitions to invoke the ref
erendum will be circulated and filed
with the secretary Of state within
ninety days of adjournment of the
Legislature.
Throughout the debate, which virtu-
ally covered the entire domain of ir-
rigation jurisprudence. the supporters
of the amended Carpenter bill laid
stress upon the claim that the act of
1901 is unconstitutional in that it sub
ordinates senior reservoir appropria-
tions to junior ditch appropriations:
while the opponents of the measure
waged their fight against it's passage
from the viewpoint that, If enacted.
1t will place the future agricultural de-
velopment of the state under the con-
troll of the reservoir companies, Will
greatly assist the government in its
assertion of title to water in this state
for use in reclamation projects in 9TH
er states and that the water from the
natural streams of Colorado can be ap-
propriated for agricultural purposes.

The Moffat Tunnel.

| Senator Cove is in receipt of the
following telegram from John A. Por-
ter of Denver, who is on the Pacific
coast in reference to the tunnel and
it's construction:
"The passage of pending tunnel bill
in Colorado Legislature is certainly OF
the greatest Importance to Denver and
the entire state. Judging by many sur
yeys made by the Moifat road, it would
seem very unwise to limit the length of
proposed tunnel to five miles when
one approximately mile longer could
be located at the most advantageous
place considered from both an engin-
eering and financial point of view. A
tunnel entering the Divide almost in
direct line from Tolland would avoid
possible competition from deeper
one, would materially shorten distance
and avoid climbing on maximum grade
winding line from Tolland to mouth
of five-mile tunnel. The state should
not hesitate at additional cost TO OBJ
tain a safer and more farreaching in
vestment.-John A. Porter"
The opponents of the tunnel have Sc
cured an amendment to the bill that
would defeat the purpose, requiring
the Moffat road interests to deposit Sc
curties with the state to guarantee
the tunnel bonds. And this in addition
to the provisions already in the meas
ure making the voad itself security for
the cost of construction.
With the recommendation that they
be placed before the committee of the
whole for favorable consideration and
final passage, the bills making the
State Normal school at Greeley n
teachers college and providing for
normal school training as condition
to the granting of certifictes by coun-
ty superintendents, were reported by
the Senate committee on education
and educational institutions.
BY vote of twenty TO fourteen, the
Senate ordered the hybrid bank guar
antee law on the calendar for special
consideration. This bill is mixture
Of Senator Gove's measure for rigid
banking code and of Senator Crowley's
bill to enact the mutual bank guar
antee act of Texas. The measure was
reported favorably by the banking
committee three weeks ago. When the
report was made. 1t was stated that
motion would be made to strike from the
hybrid bill all Of the Texas bank guar
antee features and to retain the. Cove
provisions which seek to make bank
guarantee rest on sound banking op-

PROTECTING FRUIT TREES
FROM DESTRUCTIVE FROST
be by Equipment of Fire Pots SO
t1no Of Orchard May be Warmed
Tinaet to Get

(By C. E. MINCER, Hamburg. Iowa)
1t ofen happens that backward
crop or one that Is too far advanced
by early spring is injured by frost.
Down In Florida, the costly experience
of the orange growers, few years
ago, in the loss of their groves by an
untimely frost, led to the equipment,
not only of the orange groves of the
south. but the fruit crops in all parts
OF the country, of frost-fghting ap-
paratus, with which to warm the at
mosphere.
OF our one thousand four hundred
bearing apple trees, about nine hun.
dred were in the block that we pro-
tected and saved with few over =
thousand small size crude oil burning
orchard heaters last spring. when
many OF the orchards In the Middle
West were stripped bare of their fruit.
Protecting an orchard from frosts
on still night, even with very low
temperature is comparatively easy
compared to protecting 1t during sew
eral days of freezing weather. sleet,
and hail, and with high gale blow
ing. as was the case last spring.
One orchard of seven acres. that
had never failed before, looked as If a
severe fire had gone through the
trees, and was almost total loss.
On the orchard that was protected we
had full crop. OF this orchard there
were three or four rows on the north
and west sides that had few apples.
Had we placed a row of oil pots
around the outside of the orchard. we
think we would have saved those trees
also.
Last season being month earlier
than usual, made us hurry our prepa.
rations. for we were pretty sure we
would need the protection. Usually II
is during the first part of May that
the frosts kill the fruit, but last year
1t was in April.
On the night of Saturday, April 16
at 9 p. m. the thermometer was thir-
ty-four degrees. By 12 p. m. 1t was
twenty-seven degrees; at 3 a. m.
twenty-three degrees; at a. m. close
to twenty-five degrees, the lowest We
noticed. although we had very little
time to watch the temperature. At
a. M. inside the orchard 1t was thir-
ty-three degrees at several points and
thirty-two degrees at others. The tenn
perature did not raise to thirty-three
degrees outside the orchard until
nearly noon the next day. All night

question large number of fire-pots
would have been of decided advan.
tage, especially during the storm of
snow, sleet. and high wind; but we
shall profit by this experience and be
prepared for the very worst another

The fruit-crop was practically to-
tai loss in other orchards in this sec
ton. Much Of the fruit that looked
as II 1t would mature in other or
chards dropped off, and only an occa-
sional apple was found. Many of
