f1olorado Springs, January 10, 1911
A Board OF Control, officially represent
ing all sections Of Colorado, is being or
ganized to prepare for and conduct the
sixth Dry Farming Congress which is to
be held in Colorado Springs in October
1911. Each board of county commiss-
toner's, each mayor and each chamber
Of commerce in the state has been re-
quested to name one member OF the
board, which will number $50. Secre-
tary John L. Burns has already received
acceptance from many prominant men.
Governor John f. Shafroth is honor
ary chairman Of the Board of Control
and will himself appoint ten members at
large. The active chairman is John
Lennox, president of the Merchants
Association of Colorado Springs, and
the executive committee is composed of
fifteen Representative business men of
that city.
The Significance of the dry farming
congress 10 Colorado lies not only in the
fact that there are in this state $4,000, 600
acres of land which can be brought un.
der cultivation only by scientific day
farming, but also in the fact that the
careful application Of day farming meth
ods Of cultivation to irrigate lands will
lessen the amount of water needed and
thereby increase the acreage und er
ditch. The entire state will share in the
benefits which result from the holding
Of the sixth dry farming congress in
Colorado this fall
For the purpose of explaining dry farm
ing methods and getting in close touch
with the farmers, series of trips will
shortly be madeinto dry farming dis
tricts. The first of these will be over
the Rock Island lines from Colorado
Springs east to the state line.
Since the establishment of the inter
national headquarters in Colombo
Springs, widespread interest has been
manifested in the work of the congress
and every mail brings in applications
for membership and subscription to the
semi monthly bulletin. The correspond
ence conducted from the office reaches
every corner of the globe.

CORN CLUB.
Let Our Madison Boys Get
Ready.

That Kentucky can increase her
yield of corn to a great extent is shown
by the records which have been made
by the boys corn growing clubs in
many counties of the State. By apply
ing modern and scientific methods to
the growing of corn, five boys in Wayne
county succeeded in growing more than
100 bushels of corn to the acre. One
boy grew l12 bushels.
There are more than 1000 boys
interested in the corn-growing contests.
NC. Rankin, Commissioner of AgricuIt-
ure, says the corn growing contests
will be brought to a close the last of
the month and the county clubs will
hold their meetings during November,
when the cash prizes will be awarded to
the boys who have made the best show
ing. The second annual State Corn
Show will be held in Lexington in Janu-
airy. Liberal premiums, especially in
the Junior Department, for boys over
ten years of age and under sixteen. will
be given in the contests. The show
will continue from January to 5, 1912,
and anyone wishing to make an ent, V

Good Enough for Us.

We believe the world is good place
and is growing better. This world be-
gan with a garden and is TO end with
garden. It's pleasant place to live in
and If we had been consulted as to
which Of the stars we should choose for a
habitation, we could not have done bet
ter than to select this. We have always
been glad we got aboard this planet It
just suits u.s. To our mind the very
best color in the universe for the sky is
blue; the very best shade for grass is
green, and the very best for water is a
crystalline fash. The mountains are
just high enough for me. the valleys Just
low enough, the rivers just swift enough.
The human face is most wonderfully
adopted for its use with sunshine in its
smile and tempest in its frown; with
two eyes, one more than necessary, so
that if one is put out we still may see
the beautiful things God has placed
around US; with one nose, most admira-
bly, arranged to take in the sweet per-
fumes of earth.
Art even at its best. may be justly
criticised, but where is the blasphemer
who would dare criticise the arch Of the
skyssor the crest of wave or the flock
of feeey clouds that the shepherd wind
is driving over the pastures of the sky.
There is Only one discord to a thousand
harmonies. There is whole sky full
of robins to one hooting night owl, and
to every destructive torrent there are
hundreds Of placid streams with water
lilies anchored at their banks, and stars
laying bright reflections to sleep in
their bosoms.-Ex.

The Farmers Ought to Raise
Sugar.

That the American public can forever
deliveF itself from the peril of high
sugar prices, is the opinion of Secretary
Wilson, Of the Department of Agricult-
ure. who says the great remedy lies in
theproduction Of beet sugar in America.
Sugar production is increasing at a
remarkable rate, owing to the profit to
the farmer and the increasing demand
for the finished product.
He said beet factories could operate
to advantage in connection with the
dairy industry. in that the refuse from
the beet sugar plants makes excellent
feed for dairy cattle. In his opinion the
American farmer can raise enough
sugar to supply the world. He said:
I'VE ought to make our own sugar in
this country. and this has been my
theory ever since went into to the De-
partment of Agriculture. Drought in
Germany or revolution in Cuba could
bring no panic to the American house
wife if the American farmer seized bis
opportunity. Relief is even now in
sight. When l went into the depart
ment the production of the entire coun
try was 10000 tons and now it is more
than 500, 900 tons.
Beet sugar is as satisfactory as cane
sugar from the housewives standpoint
and the crop is one of the most profit
able.
1.-THE develop ment of the sugar beet
industry waits upon better farming.
Twenty tons an acre can be grown by
good farming The present average in
America is 10 tons. l have repeatedly
said that if we could get the average up
to is tons we could take the duty of
and defy the foreign crop. But we
must wait until the farmers know
how"
Secretary Wilson has been expert
menting with a seed which. he hopes,
will be so perfect that there shall be
but one terminating point per seed,
thus eliminating the labor of thinning
the crop. for the present seed has from
one to five terminating points.

This is on a green city boy who
wanted to show his gallantry. He called
on a maiden few nights ago and
valiantly offered TO brave the darkness
of the back yard to bring a bucket of
water. He reached the yard all right,
set the bucket down, and turned a
crank vigorously for several minutes.
His efforts met with failure and he re-
turned to the house with the statement
that the pump was out of fix. On in
spection it was found he had set the
bucket down by a wash tub, and had
been busy turning clothes wringer.-

Things To Live For.

Very few men who have striven to
live their own lives without iden-
tifying themselves with some cause
which will last after they are gone
have maintained their purpose unbroken
through adversely. The man who be-
lieves in himself alone is usually put
ting his trust on a fragile support.
Sure and permanent achievement be-
longs to him who lives for something
outside Of himself, whether it be his
country, his principles or his faith.
The more man knows of life. the
more he feels the need of having things
outside of himself to live for. He
needs friends, he needs traditions, he
needs ideals. These he must have, in
order to give him stability of purpose
and clearness of vision, to steady him in
the hour of defeat and to supply the
hopeof added strength for the contests
yet to come. These he must have, in
order to make the end itself seem
worth while.-President Hadley of
Yale.
