BRINGING
A CHAMPION HERE

That the appearance of Colorado S
wrestling champion here tomorrow
evening will draw a record crowd
is certainty, judging from the un-
usual interest that has been aroused.
AS Tolliyer is we'll known in Eaton,
which is also Murphy's home, a
large delegation is expected from
that town. Mr.. Varney is making
arrangements to handle the largest
crowd since he opened his athletic
club.
One OF the preliminaries that is
of more than usual interest to the
students that work out at the club
is four round boxing contest be
tween Clarence Wallace and Dewey
Stewart, paper weights. With the
little fellows there is none of the
tiresome stalling that is generally in
use with The older boxers, they do
the best they can and make 1t in
teresting for the spectators.
The boxing and wrestling will be
on a platform 40 inches high and
MIR. Varney has placed seats on sale
at the Oppenheimer cigar store so
good locations can be secured.

GREELEY'S REPUTATION IS
LOOSELY HANDLED BY WRITER
WHO AIRS VIEWS ON POTATOES
William E. Curtis in Chicago Record-Herald Has
Raised Storm in Colorado by Exploiting Maine
Spuds as the Best in the Country---Says Greeley
is All of Colorado

William f. Curtis, the widely
known special writer for the Chicago
Record-Herald, is arousing a storm
of protest throughout Colorado by
his letter of last Friday in which he
discusses potatoes. He says that
Greeley is all of Colorado when 1t
comes to raising tubers and then
goes on to show that county in
Maine is the real thing in the potato
line.
1t is possible that the Commercial
club or others interested in the po-
tato crop of the state will take the
trouble to set right Mr.. Curtis by
giving him some figures on quantity
and quality of Colorado potatoes.
But it may be figured that the Gree
ley spud is so we'll known that let
ter or two from William E. Curtis
or anyone else can have no lasting
bad effects.
The part of Mr.. Curtis letter that
is arousing comment is as follows:
I'VE have been taught to believe
that the largest crops of the finest
quality of potatoes must be produced
on the virgin soil of the irrigated
valleys of the west, and Greeley,
Colorado, calls itself The Potato
City, Very little else is raised in
that vicinity (whewD, and the finest

TOWNS
IN SECOND CLASS

Secretary of State Pearce Tues
day transmitted to the general as
sembly the list of towns in Colorado
shown by the last census to be en-
titled to rank as second class cities.
Under the law cities OF over 1000 in
population, and under 100000 may
be declared cities of the second
class.
The secretary of state inclosed
copies Of the communication from E.
Dana Durand, director of the CEN
sus. showing the official population
of those cities. They are: Alamosa,
3,013: Glenwood Springs. 2,019;
Lamar. 2,977; Monte Vista, 2.544:
Silverton, 2,155; Walsenburg. g.
423; Delta, 2.3ss; Englewood, g.
9s3; Fort Morgan, 1880; Las AMI
mas, 2,O08; Loveland. 1851. Mont
rose, 1924; Sterling. 3.044.
Delta Englewood, Loveland and
Sterling have already been officially
proclaimed as cities OF the second
class. There are several bills now
pending in the legislature to place
a number OF the foregoing towns In
the column of second class cities,
but 1t is doubtful whether the bills
will be reached before final ad-
journment.
The Greeley tribune., 1911-03-16

potatoes in the world are advertised
to come from there. Every summer
Greeley celebrates her greatness and
the quantity and quality of the fruits
of her soil by potato day, when
everybody within radius of many
miles comes to town to eat potatoes
that are contributed by the farmers
and are cooked and served with
various relishes in the public square.
But, Notwithstanding the glory of
Greeley, the official statistics of the
agricultural department show that
Aroostook county, Maine, produces
more than twice as many bushels to
the acre and sells them at higher
price than the farmers of Greeley.
And they are raised in the old fash
ioned way, by ordinary farming,
without irrigation, and without any
scientific frills, and are shipped to
all parts of the world. The official
statistics show that in 1910 the aver
age crop per acre of potatoes in
Maine, and that means Aroostook
county, was 220 bushels per acre
while the average per acre in Colo
rado, and that means Greeley, was
only 100 bushels per acre. That is
no discredit to Colorado, but 1t
proves that farming is still profitable
in certain parts of New England If
people will plant the right things"

-FOUR HUNDRED" IS
FIXED IN GREELEY

Greeley is now among the -four
hundred" 30 far as automobiles and
motorcycles are concerned The
four hundredth license was issued
by the city clerk Tuesday to F. w.
Hunter. who has joined the 500
other motor enthusiasts in the city.
On the basis of population OF
10000 for Greeley, there is one
automobile or motorcycle for every
25 residents, men, women and chill
dren, or about one motorcycle or
auto for every adult inhabitants.
1t is believed that this establishes
record for Colorado so far as pro-
portion OF autos to population is
concerned.
estimates on the amount of money
invested in these vehicles vary, but
on the basis OF $500 investment
for each. which is considered low.
something like 100000 worth OF
motor conveyances daily dash about
the streets OF Greeley. THIS num-
per Is gradually increasing, as agen-
c1es for new cars are constantly be-
ing established. 1t is expected that
there will be large number of new
hcenses taken out following the
motor show at Denver.

THE HUMBLE hen GETS IN LIMELIGHT

| city fanciers Now the thorough
no better argument for thorough
breeding than that thoroughbred
| flocks have become common where a
few years ago they were almost I'M
known Even yet we sometimes
hear one deride the fancy fowl. say
ing that the common mongrel is
harder, does not require so much
care, costs but little, etc, but science
must in the end win.
There are three points to be con-
sidered in the comparison OF the
pure bred fowl and the mongrel:
beauty. size and egg production.
You may wonder why l have given
to beauty the first place. IF eyes
were made for seeing, then beauty
is its own excuse for being 1t is
an undisputed truth that where
your interest is there will be your
most effective work. A beautiful
bird-other things being equals
not only more interesting to the
breeder, but also more profitable
People will often buy that which ap-
peals to the eye. In glancing over
the long list of pure bred varieties
there is none that lays no claim to
beauty. You may by chance find
beautiful fowl outside the thorough
bred ranks, but it is the first and
last of its family, because it has no
standard and its type can never be
duplicated. There is, therefore,
lack of interest in breeding such
fowls. Taking up the second point,
size, we find that only With the nom
sitting classes can the mongrel COM
pare. The general purpose classes
range from one and a half times to
twice as large. In egg production
any of the varieties of fancy poultry
will equal while the egg type will
greatly exceed that of the monsrel.
In obtaining advantageous results
from thorough breeding it is neces-
sary to consider the points before
mentioned. For color and shape the
breeder must be acquainted with
the standard of perfection and breed
only from those nearest the type.
For size and shape when breeding
for meat production the breeder
must know that the wide back and
deep breast are the most desirable
points to obtain. Those seeking
primarily for egg production can
now make use of the trap nest. If
this method is employed he has no
uncertain stock. He knows what to
expect from strain that may In
this way be built up.
What has been said OF chickens
may be said OF other domestic fowls.
1t has taken many years of careful
breeding to bring turkeys and geese
to their great size. and to change the
wild nature of the duck, making 1t
useful to mankind. The duck. in its
wild state, lays but two or three
dozen eggs per year, while many OF
our improved varieties lay three
times as many.
We must not, however. overlook

At the meeting of the Weld
County Poultry association held on
Monday evening in the city hall
Clyde Richardson read an interest
ing paper on the Value OF
Thorough Breeding, which FOL
lows:
In this-the scientific age-there
seems TO be no branch of learning
or industry that scientific minds are
not endeavoring to advance. The
progress, in all lines of work, during
the last fifty years, has been the
most remarkable in the worlds his
tory. There seems to be no place
now for the non-thinkers. There was
a time not long since past, when the
farm was the place to which this
class of people was relegated, but
now the farmer must also be an as-
riculturist-must apply modern
methods, if he wishes to make even
comfortable living.
The breeder of live stock must
know that it costs no more to keep a
fine thoroughbred dairy COW on hef
we'll balanced rations than 1t does TO
keep the historic, longhaired old red
COW that objects to paying even for
her board Poultrymen must know
that in this day of high priced feed
that the fowl of $50 or 200 egg
strain eats no more than the COM
mon barn yard mongrel which Will
probably repay its owner with
about half that number of eggs.
There has been, perhaps, no
greater advancement made in any
particular industry during the last
few years, than in that one in which
we are all interested poultry
business.
Chickens have been domesticated
for thousands of years. We need
not, however, go back into the am
uncertain past to find their original
ancestor-the jungle fowl, which in
its native wilds lays from ten to 20
eggs per year. We need only to go
back a few years to the time when
a thoroughbred fowl was by the ma
iority of people thing perhaps
heard Of but never seen.
The United States in its early
days had no fancy poultry Our first
Leghorns were I'M
ported from Italy in 1885. Mucn
interest was taken in them because
they were great egg producers and
were non-sitters. These Leghorns
were very different from those we
now have. They had no standard
color. and for usefulness We're not
to be compared to the egg machine
we have today.
Interest in fancy poultry was re-
newed in 1850 by the importation
of some Shanghais which, like the
original Leghorn, had no standard
color. Out of these crude Asiatics
originated our many varieties OF
Brahmas and Cochins. the blood of
which can be traced In every variety
of general purpose fowls.
Not many years ago the only
breeders of fancy poultry were
