WHY FARMERS SHOULD JOIN
fit Members of Organization Alike, But Aids Outsider.

As the old year Is now gone and
 the new one has come. we hope to see l a general move in every local to
 make the new year a more successful
 one than the past. While We are i proud of the success that has been l accomplished by the union in the past, we realize that more can be done in the future If every member will at tend and quit grumbling about some thing that was done when he was not there writes Don Mcdonald In the Co-Operator. The union should be a place of education, as well as a place of business, and If every member re- ceiyes the benefit Of 1t they should at tend as regularly as possible; they should grasp every opportunity that presents itself to elevate the labor Ing class of people.
 Now We realize that this has been hard year on all the farming class of people. Crops were short over a large portion of the state, and finan- cial means are short with the most of the laboring class of people, but the farmers should not fail to realize that 1t Is important that they strive to advance the interest of the Farm CTS union. It has raised the farmers of Texas millions of dollars. It does not only benefit the members of the union, but every farmer alike. We often hear some of the members raise a kick and object to the outsider re- eeiving any benefit, but 1t Is impos sible to benefit one farmer by raising the price of farm produce without beneftting all alike. and believe that when the outsider sees that the union has come to stay, that the most Of them will come in and help out in the fight. We should sympathiZe with the country farmer. He lives in the country and Is in less touch with everyday developments. It Is this class of people that the politician continues to influence whose minds they can more easily poison It will require further educational work among this class of people before they will realize that 1t is to their interest to become a part of our organization. When they understand that their in terest Is with the organization, they will become a part of 1t, and nothing can change their views or make them feel that the world Is against them. This Is what the Farmers union should have in mind, and carry out through their work The amount of money the farmer receives depend
 ing upon good rains or limited pro duetion through long droughts, deter mine whether they can educate their children and whether their wives and children can have one suit of clothes or not, or winter pair of shoes. It is strange to me that every farmer can not realize that 1t would be to his benefit to help raise the laboring class of people to higher level than they now attain. Every member of the Farmers union stands equally responsible for the success or failure In carrying out the work for which , the Farmers union was created, and the outsider stands responsible for not making an effort to lift himself and let the organized part carry all the burdens

the beloved father.
Mr.. Raper was a devoted faith
er. He loved his children; was
always kind to them.
He leaves nine children to
mourn his loss. Children always
be as your father was and you
will meet him in that land of
bliss. We sympathize with you
in your sorrow, but our sympathy
cannot heal your wounded hearts
nor fill his vacant chair.
The community has lost one of
its best citizens. He was devo-
ted to his neighbors, always
ready to help in any cause for
the benefit of mankind and the
upbuilding of Christianity. He
was a consistent member of the
Baptist church; always attended
church when his health permit
ted. His pastor will miss his
hearty handshake and his cheer
full smile, which he always gave
everyone. His seat will be va
cant; there is no one who can
fill it as he did; but there is a
sweet to every bitter; it is bitter
for US to know his seat is vacant

is occupying a seat in the Man.

paid the respect to the grave as
we all must do. We learn from
Revelation that all things. must

and are but waiting execution
from the "cradle~tO the grave"
Death lis relentless, memorable
and impartial. The aged pill
grim with his staff, innocent
childhood with its happy laugh,
young manhood full Of hope and
full of promise fall alike at the
whitening touch of the frosty
hand. No cline is free, no age
exempt. In the morning of time
death set it's seal upon
Abel and it's brand upon Cain and
it may be traced through the

piers who has drunk deep at the
fountain Of wisdom, and who
has searched into the hidden
things of earth, if he can dis
cover no talisman that can tnrn
death aside and he answers, mo,
no." In our despair we turn to
the traveller who has explored
distant and sunny climes, and
|implore OF him if there is not in
the far off islands of the sea a
fountain whose waters will re-
store perpetual youth, and he
makes the reply, 20 foolish man;
the fountain for which you en-
quire is only a fable of a van
pushed age andlwas never aught

Then we say. Oh! life to what
strange land hast thou fled? Oh!

freighted with the cargoes of
dead humanity? But no voice
comes from the echoless shore.
Only silence, nothing more.
So you see you and | mustp pay
the same debt that Mr.. Raper
has paid. There is no way
around it. And now, dear chill
dren if we are prepared for it

KEROSENE EMULSION

One of the oldest and most SER
viceable of insecticides is kero-
sen emulsion. An emulsion, in
this case, is a mixture of those
proverbially unmiXable substances
oil and water. To accomplish this
a third substance, called an emul-
sifier, is needed. For ordinary
work as an insecticide soap is
used as an emulsifier. In some
cases, where a large quantity of
the mixture is needed, other emu
sifiers are used.
Commonly the emulsion is
made in the form of a stock solu-
ton which is afterward diluted
to the strength required for the
application.
The formula for the stock solu-
ton is as follows:
Kerosene ---------2 gallons
Soap ------------A pound
Water -----------2 gallons
Thoroughly dissolve the soap
in two gallons of boiling water.
Remove the water from the stove
and while it is still hot add the
kerosene. To make the emulsion
it is necessary to stir this mix
ture very thoroughly. If one has
a bucket pump, this is easily done
by removing the nozzle from
the hose and pumping the fluid
back upon itself until the whole
mass becomes rich, creamy mix
ture. The stirring should con-
tinue till all the oil is emulsified,
which will probably be in from
five to ten minutes. The progress
of emulsification can be tested by
watching to see whether any free

oil rises to the surface when the
emulsion is allowed to stand for
a moment. Touch the edge of a
piece of paper lightly to the sur
face of the liquid. If free oil
is there it will quickly run into
the paper and it's presence may
be discovered by the application
of lighted match.
If the oil does not emulsify
readily, it may he necessary to
put the mixture back on the stove
and warm it more. If this is done,
great care must be taken that
the substance does not boil over.
If it does. the kenosenc may Sc
come ignited and dangerous
fire result.
Both the water and the soap
in the above formula are in excess
of the quantities which are Often
given in formulas. The reasons
for this are that the excess of
water makes the resulting mix
lures warmer and aids the pro
cess of emulsification. and the
excess OF soap tends to ovcr-
come the alliali which is often
found in the waters of dry coun-
tries.
The stock solution will often
keep for a considerable period,
but it is better to make and use
it Immediately, because the oil
is apt to separate from the
water if it stands long. When
it is found that the mixture has
separated, it may be warmed and
reagitated until the emulsion is
restored.
Of course, smaller quantities
of emulsion may be made by pre-
serving the proper proportions OF
the ingredients. a cupfull may
be made in a bowl and stirred
with an egg beater.
When the stock solution is
made it is ready to be diluted and
applied. Pure kerosene is very
dangerous to plant life and emul
sions are dangerous in less de
gree. 1t is necessary that one
should know something about the
susceptibility of the plant. For
growing plants it is seldom safe
to use the emulsion stronger than
one part of kerosene to sixteen
of water. Many plants will moi
stand it quite so strong. To
make this strength from the
above solution, since the stock
is half kerosene, one should add
one gallon Of the stock solution t.
seven of water. For winter
work, when trees are dormant

er.
Only clear water which is free
from much alkali or dirt should
be used. Both of these substan-
ces have a tendency to make the
oil come to the top so that a part
Of the application is too strong
and the rest too weak.
This is a contact insecticide
and may be applied directly to
the bodies of the insects one
wishes to kill.

COOPERATIVE WORK
IN IRRIGATION

For years we have desired in
vestigational work in irrigation,
practical work that will help the
irrigator in the field, and at
tempts have been made from time
to time to do work along this line.
Funds have, however, been short
and the work is so expensive
that it has been necessary to
put off until tomorrow what
could not be done to-day.
Now, however, a change has
taken place. The last Colorado
Legislature appropriated $4,000
for experimental work in irriga-
ton and drainage. This was
later cut, by Governor Shafroth,
together with other appropria-
tions, to $4,000, in order to bring
it within the revenue of the
state.
In order to make the work as
broad as possible a meeting was
held in Denver, June 21st, with
Prof. Samuel Fortier, head Of
the irrigation division of the U. S.
bureau of experiment stations,
and DR.. a. C. True, U. S. director
of experiment stations; the pres
ident of the Agricultural college,
members of the state board of
agriculture, and representatives.
from the irrigation engineering
department OF the college. 1t
was there decided that the U. S.
government and the state of
Colorado should cooperate in
the irrigation work for Colo
RADIO ard a contract was signed
whereby each party agrees to pay
the sum OF $500 for this work.
With an expenditure of practi-
cally $4,000 surely some interest
ing and profitable work should be
done. The work has been start
ed and is progressing nicely. AL
thoUgh it was a little late in the
season to do much field work
this summer we should be ready
and on the ground when next
year S irrigation season opens.
This work will include the ap-
plication OF water to crops by
different methods, showing the
advantages OF one system over
another.
The best time to irrigate crops
on different soils and how much
water to apply is another prob
lem.
Irrigation pumping plants of
Colorado will come in for their
share of the work. The study
of different factors affecting the
flow of water in bitches. head
'vor.ls, and weirs, Will also be
taken up.
1t is to be hoped that tie work
just started will be carried on
for years and chat many of the
irrigation problems may be solved
which will bring dollars into the
pockets OF thn Colorado farmer
and be a great benefit to the
state Of Colorado.
