WHAT THE PEOPLE PAY

The people of the United States
pay subsidy. in artificially high
prices. to the wool industry, of at
least $104,000.000 a year, accord
ing to the calculations of Hon. Os-
car w. Underwood OF Alabama, the
chairman of the ways and means
committee of the house of repre-
sentatives
"The Payne-Aldrich tax of 61
cents per yard, to say nothing OF
any increase in tax as it passes to
the jobber. makes not less than
$1O4, 100000 paid each year to sub
sidise the wool industry of Amer
ica," says Mr.. Underwood. Now,
the entire duties actually paid the
United States on all imports OF
woolens and worsteds in 1910,
amounted to less than $15,5OO.OOO
which means that of the $1O4.O0O.
900 extorted from the consumers OF
woolens nearly $9O,OOO,OOO went to
the wool interests.
"Is it fair or just or right To
maintain these enormous taxes up.
duly to foster the business of less
than one-fourth of one per cent of
the people and to require ninety
nine and three-fourths per cent to
stagger under this enormous burd.

Am rican people will justify the
president In his veto of the wool
schedule"

EXPERTS AND sPUDs

During last July the reports from
the potato fields of Weld county
were OF the most encouraging nA-
ture. So general seemed to be the
opinion that bumper crop WAS in
sight that the Tribune ATTEMPTED
70 secure data on the probable yield.
After careful estimates had been
prepared and then discounted . lit
tie bit for safety, 1t SO happened
that q. l.. Fitch of the State Agri-
cultural college was in Greeley. Be-
fore printing anything relating 70
the probable potato crop the esti-
mates were submitted to MIR. Fitch.
The potato expert scanned the ti9-
ufes, shook his head, and said Ego
alow''.
This was the first intimation that
the crop might not he all that was
expected. AT that time MIR. Fitch
explained that the blight that had
begun to appear seemed to be Fus-
1aFium fungus and rhizoc. The
Tribune did 20 slow on the sugges-
taon Of MIR. Fitch, and instead OF
printing estimates published warn.
1ngs OF this dangerous disease. Later
the Tribune printed in display type
all that could be found in the way
Of suggestions for combating the
disease.
In some quarters the opinions OF
tho expert were treated lightly
There are still some who treat the
diagnosis Of the blight as guess
work hidden under long names. But
there II vindicatiOn in the expert
diagnosis In the word from William
Stuart, the government potato ex.
pert at Warrington, who was called
upon to analyze the stricken vines
OF Weld county. His report, just
received, says:
'"The material which I forwarded
from Greeley was found without ex.
AeptiOn to be seriously affected with
Fusarium fungus. Evidence OF
AslAz0ct0nia were also present. The

LEDDY WANTS To HELP THE
FARMERS

State Auditor NJ. A. Leddy has
admitted that his position OF last
week on the Agricultural college
was wrong and he has Joined the
ranks of those who are trying to
raise $4,000 with which to con-
tinue the work of the four expert
mental departments at that college.
The state auditor was under the
impression that the money raised
through the mill levy could be used
for the experimental work. When
he found he was mistaken he imme-
diately notified the committee in
charge of the cash donations that
he would set them right before the
state and this he did in q well
worded interview.
The state auditor is not respon-
sible for the present shortsks~ Of
funds. He has nothing to do with
their collection or their appropriation
He audits accounts and issues war
rants II the money IL In the treas
ury. In this case the money is not
in the treasury. 1t must be raised
outside. 1t should be raised out
side. The experimental departments
of the college gave lessons in prac-
tical farming and other outdoor
pursuits last year to over fifty thous-
and adults. In addition these de-
partments saved to Colorado agrf-
culturists over 100000 in their
fight on insect pests. The state SIM
ply cannot allow them to be aband-
oned.
In short time the Arkansas val
ley will be called upon for its pro-
portion of this $4,000. We do not
know what that proportion will be
but the valley should aid In this
work to the extent of its proportion.
The experimental departments at
the college taught our people how
and where to raise sugar beets. This
one industry alone owes 1t to the
state to keep the stations in opera
ton. These departments gave us
our fundamental rules for the grow
ing OF fruit. They sent their men
through our valleys, analyzed our
soil and told us what we could grow
best. They have watched our crops
and helped US to solve the insect
problem every year for over q de-
caoe. They have helped US to
house those crops in such manner ~
to retain the greatest value. Right
now. they need help Good solid
financial help. A committee Of men.
who are willing to give their time
to the work is visiting the various
sections appealing for funds
The Chieftain believes eyerv
county in our beautiful and most
prosperous valley will do its nart
Pueblo Chieftain.

WILSON ON WATER

! Secretary Wilson mas declueu tha'
the interests of cities and towns
which obtain their water from
streams having their watersheds
within national forests call for
special measures. OF protection. and
he has therefore developed a plan
of cooperation for the department
of agriculture with those communl-
ties which are alive to the import
ance of keeping their water supply
| pure.
There are many western towns
and cities. some of them Of large
size, which derive their water from
drainage basins lying inside the ma
tional forests. One of the recog-
nized objects of forestry is to insure
the permanence and protect the pur-
ity of municipal water supplies. AS
the forests are maintained for the
benefit of the public, Secretary Will
son considers 1t the duty of his de-
partment to do all that it can both
to prevent the pollution of such
supplies and to create or maintain
conditions most favorable to a con-
slant flow of clear water.
Stock raising and occupancy of
the land for the various kinds OF
use which are ordinarily encouraged
on the national forests may be high
ly undesirable II allowed on drain
age basins which are the sources of
drinking water. There is also to be
the injury which may be
done il the water Is silt-laden. By
t{v0 iyr,n IN hn
est cover and by enforcing special
regulations to minimize erosion and
to provide for the maintenance of
conditions. the government
will try to safeguard the interests of
The public.
A form of agreement has been
Drawn up. providing that, when CO.
operation is entered into between
The secretary of agriculture and any
city desiring conservation and pro-
lection of its water supply. the sec
retary will not permit the use of the
land involved without approval by
the town or city except for the pro-
lection and care of the forests,
cutting, and disposing of
timber which the forest officers
find may be removed without injury
10 the water supply OF the city, or
for the building of roads, trails, tele-
phone lines. etc, not inconsistent
with the objects of the agreement,
or for rights of way acquired under
acts of congress. The secretary also
agrees to require all persons en-
ployed on or occupying any of the
land both to comply with the regu-
lations governing national forests
and to observe all sanitary regula-
tions which the city may propose
and the secretary approve.
The agreement provides for the
extension and improvement of the
forests on the part Of the govern
ment by seeding and planting and
the best methods of silviculture and
forest management, 80 far as the
funds available will permit The
city on its side is expected to assist
in the work by paying the salaries
of the additional guards necessary
to carry out the agreement, and In
case extensive forest operations are
desired by the city, it
would bear the major part of the
cost entailed by this work.
