REAPING THE WHIRLWIND

II profits nobody to initiate land
values beyond the natural earning
power. Mesa county is suffering
from a boom in land prices. Accord
ing to the last census the average
value per acre in that county was
s144.S6, an increase in ten years of
s11O.S4. The big mortgage COM
panies long ago ceased making loans
in that county and as a result the
mortgages have been carried by
banks and private individuals. A
majority We're not able to make their

greater than these institutions could

cess many honest people will lose

VISIT OF AGRICULTURAL
EXPERTS

Fully $50 representative farmers
gathered at the opera house Monday
and listened to Pres. Lory and Prof
Fitch of the State Agricultural col
lege.
Prof. Fitch explained his theory OF
the potato disease. He believed that
it was due to too much moisture
and very hot weather. Soon after
the formation of the young potato.
he said. the feeder was attacked by
fungus which cut off growth of the
plant, trying to remedy the matter.
formed other potatoes which met the
same fate. The process was repeated
until the root of the plant was a
mass of half-formed potatoes. He
himself had counted as high as 130
potatoes on one vine.
Mr.. Fitch called the disease Fas-
arium. 1t is most noticeable when
the plants are young and in fields
where potatoes follow potatoes. No
remedy is known. He thought that
rotating the crops might be effec-
planting to light and air. Prof.
Fitch thought that good drainage
would be beneficial and also advised
running rows north and south in
stead of east and west. He advised
planting on the shady side of the
ridge and not planting on any field
that was freshly manured.
Nearly every farmer has his own
theory regarding this potato trouble
and they are quite as likely to be
right as Mr.. Fitch. 1t is hardly
probable that the trouble will be as
widespread another year.
President Lory spoke of the work
of the college and its poverty He
money at the present time because
the state was not able to pay the ap-
propriations made by the last legis-
lature. The college is asking contri-
buttons from commercial clubs,
boards of county commissioners and
individuals, to enable it to run until
funds from the state are available.
Pres. Lory touched upon the fiXation
OF nitrogen in the soil or what is
generally known as black alkali.
This also needed investigation as it
threatened to injure large tracts
especially orchard lands. Climatic
conditions in Colorado are so varied
that what is good for one section of
the state is sometimes poison for an
other, hence a great deal of study
and experiment is necessary to deter
mine special needs.
Pres. Lory seems an earnest.
straightforward thoughtful man,
much good will come of his training
of the young men and women of
Colorado and great development may
confidently be expected in agricul-
ture and stock raising.

HOW TO USE RED CROSS SEAL

Obey post office orders and place
them only on reverse side of matter
going by mail
Place them anywhere on matter
going by express.
Use as many seals on any one let
ter or package as you want to. =
Don't put seals over string around
packages, as this seals the package
and makes it take higher postage
rate.
Use seals on the face of checks,
bills, lesal documents and any COM
mercial paper.
Red Cross seals are not postage.
They won't carry any mail matter,
but any mail matter will carry
them.
Remember, that every seal used is

There is popular impression that

These wrong Impressions about the

Looking down from there it is easy to
suppose that when senator claps his

Hardly has he been shown through
