DRY FARMING CONGRESS

| Colorado Springs, Sept. eff TO-,
900 Colorado farmers (dry, rainbelt, ir-
rigationl would attend the Dry Farm
ling congress at Colorado Springs Octo-
Der 1920, it would not matter much If
not another state sent a farmer repre-
sentative. Why? Well, 200 of them
might 60 home and for five years
practice better farming as it will be
taught there. Then the immigration
problem would be settled for Colorado
1t would be worth millions if little
handful of dry farming converts cou.d
be sprinkled over the state and become
shining lights of the practices taught at
the congress. That is the declaration
of John Lennox, of this city, chairman
of the congress board OF control
Continuing, he said 81 wish i
could fill the farmers with the import.
ance of this meeting to them. In wears
to come the congress is not likely to be
held where many Coioradoans can at
tend it excepting at great cost. It
journalists that in every section where
the congress has met it has been :.
pillar of cloud by day and pillar of
fire by night in leading the way into
a promised land of better agriculture.
Colorado farmers san save the state
from much unpleasant comment if they
will send individual exhibits to the
congress exposition. The world has
been invited TO come here and show,
and it has accepted, but the host VIII
put up mighty poor exhibition unless
the farmers come to the rescue. Ship
exhibits to the secretary, pay freight
one way and take a receipt from the
agent. This money will be returned to
you, Then if one disposes of the stuff
at Colorado Spr ngs it will not cost
cent to exhibit for the congress will
take charge of it and place it for moth
ing. f one wants the stuff sent home
full fare both ways will have to be
paid. Now let S get to it and beat the
world!''

d. w. Shores, of Carbondale, who at
tended the big banquet at the Colorado
Wednesday evening. says no potato
sales are now being made in the Car
bondale country as the farmers refuse
to sell at the present price of 50 and
80 cents, although other years they
would consider that big price. Shores
says nearly all have sold a carload or
two at the prices prevailing some time
|ago, $1.25 to $l.30, and they will put
the balance in the cellars and hold them
for better prices which they think are
sure to come. He says already potatoes
have been shipped out of the Carbon
dale section this fall to the value of
about $4,000, which is certainly going
some. considering that the digging is
only well begun.

MATTERS POLITICAL

Because of the incompetency of dem
ocratic legislation and executive acts
a large number of the departments of
the state government are tied up and
practically imperative on accaunt Of
suits pending against them in the va
rious courts of the state. These suits
were started for the purpose of cor
recting democratic errors.
In the first place the Colorado Bar
the legality of the new court of ap-
peals through suit in the proper court.
1t will be remembered that the demo-
cratic majority of the senate and Gov
ernor Shafroth became engaged in 4
fact onal fight over this court and
failed to follow the law in its creation.
Through an error of democratic leg
islative officials the internal improve
ment fund is not obtainabe for road
and bridge improvements and two suits
are now pending having for their OBJ
iect the releasing of those funds.
The $4,000 appropriated to defend
Colorado water users against outside
suits is also in jeopardy through the
wording of the bill making the appro-
priation and a suit is being started to
release the fund.
A suit against the state board of
health with special reference to the
state board of medical examiners is
pending and has tied up the funds Of
that board, all because Governor Shat
roth insisted in appointing politicians
instead of doctors on the board.
The governor appointment of F..
is. Hoag as a member of the railroad
commission when the people elected
Sheridan S. Kendall caused a snit to
start which has resulted in the com
plete suspension of work by that com
mission.
Through improper classification OF
grafton those funds cannot be secured
and mandamus suit is pending against
the state officials trying to force re-
classification of the appropriation.
The secretary of the civil service
commission recently became exasperat-
ed over the acts of the state officials
relative to the funds for that commis-
sion and brought suit for his salary
thus making that commission inopera-
tive.
The work of the state board of
equalization in placing different val
ues on the two railroads running be
tween Pueblo and Denver and other of
| its acts has caused four suits to be
started in as many different counties
| by the railroads to prevent the col
lection of the taxes under the valua-
tions as made.
The over-appropriatiOn of the last
ASSEMBLY left the dry farming congress
appropriation in class where it coul 4
not possibly be reached for payment
mandamusing the state officials to re
classify and pay the same.
A suit is pending against the state
bonding board to prevent the issue OF
the bonds recently voted to pay the
states Indebtedness of several years
standing.
| The above are few of the suits that
are pending in the various courts
against the present administration, al
most every one of which can be charged
directly to incompetency. Had the as
sembly not over-appropriated. or hac
Governor Shafroth not doubled thu
states pay roll, and had the laws max
ing the appropriations been properly
worded and enacted few of the abov.
suits would have been necessary.

COLORADO GOOD ROADS

The recent announcement that the
battleship Utah, just nearing compile
ton, has cost the government more
than eight millions of dollars, and will
annually cost over 100000 to keep in
commission, has renewed interest in the
movement to secure federal aid for the
building of roads in the Rocky noun
tain states, and especially through the
forest reserves.
Thus far efforts to secure from the
national congress appropriations for
road building purposes have failed. The
Rocky Mountain Highway association
has been agitating this matter for
years. Annually vast sums are spent
by the government for rivers and har-
bors, and the benefit is always to a
certain section of the country. If the
senators and representatives of the
western states would stand together,
aid in this matter could be secured
Eight millions spent for good roads
through government lands in Colorado
and other states would do much toward
opening up the country for the home
seeker and the pleasure seeker alike.
The question of whether or not Colo
RADIO shall vote ten million dollars for
the expenditure on good roads will
come before the voters next fall. Ac
cording to the terms of the measure
to be submitted one million in bonds
will be issued for the next ten years
for road purposes. This question will
also be thoroughly discussed at the Pa-
eblo convention of the Colorado Good
Roads Conference association to be
held in January.
Already this question is being de
bated with much interest everywhere,
and in almost every part of the state
the sentiment is in favor of a bond
issue. The work done by the counties
is awakening interest in the need of
good roads, and the question of the
adoption or rejection of the bond issue
is above any party question ever raised.
Public men of all parties are for good
roads, and many of them, including
Senator George Stephens of Delta
county, have announced their intention
of devoting their own time before the
next election in urging the bond issue
before the people.
Durango, Colo.-Last year the com
missioners of this county expended morn
than $4,000 for good roads in this
section, exclusive of the aid received
from the state. Present plans for good
roads in La Plata county call for a
larger expenditure during the coming
year 1t is also likely that convict
camps will be established in one OF
two sections of the county within the
next few months.

A smooth duck by the name of Nc
Cormick, has been going around over
the country with an insurance scheme
which he recommends in a very plaus-

been looking up the fellow Is record and
they pronounce him a crook of the first

Leghorns and black Minorcas are
adding to the prosperity of this
place. They have ore of the
finest if not the finest lot of birds
in the valley, and great care is
taken to improve the yard.
w. A. Dees is managing the
D. G. McLennan place, near
Duncan, Arizona. This place
consists of about 90 acres
in cultivation; 65 acres are in al
falfa and Is in barley. This place
has two fine stations, a black
Percheron weighing between
1900 and 1000 pounds and a Bel
gian weighing over 1000 pounds.
Mr.. Dees has only recently taken
charge of the place.
Mr.. ]. M. Allen has 35 acres in
alfalfa and when the Business
Farmer man called on him he was
so busy fixing up his harness and
wagons, preparatory to hay cutt-
ing time that he had but little
time to talk. But he did take
time to say that in his opinion the
A. & N. NJ. Ry. should give the
upper Gila Valley better freight
rates.
j. A. Hunter, living on the
east side of the Gila, about two
miles from Duncan, and above
the ditch. has recently sunk
well 275 feet deep. At 130 feet
he struck the finest flow of water
which raised about 45 feet. At
275 feet the second flow was en-
countered and this water came
up to within 35 feet of the sur
face. The supply seems to be
abundant. No power pump has
yet been installed but it is conf
IDENTIFY believed by those who
have examined the we'll that it is
practically inexhaustible. The
bringing in of this we'll has caus-
ed quite a little interests and
several parties are making pre-
parations to desert claim lands
still further back from the river.
Mr.. Hunter is quite an extensive
poultry raiser.
Jasper and Bartlett Gale, of
Franklin, Arizona, Lave about
65 acres in alfalfa anu they ex-
pect to cut around 400 tons of
hay this season.
John Evans, of Duncan. is a
surveyor by profession but he
cannot resist the call of the
soil" and he has about 35 acres
in cultivation this year WIKI he
is looking after between survey
ing jobs. Of these 35 acress
about Is are in alfalfa; Is in bar
ley; 2 in Irish potatoes and about
2 acres in orchard. In the orch
ard is found Alberta. Mamie
Ross and the white and red Indi-
an clining peaches. Mr.. Evans
has provided himself with smudge
pots and supply of crud oil and
does not propose to have old Jack
Frost rob him of his fruit.
J. A. McGratL, Is the merchant
king of Franklin, t-l'izona, and a
most enthusiastic booster for his
section. He says he has raised
eight and half tons of alfalfa
to the acre and that he believes
the average yield Of alfalfa can
be doubled in the Franklin COM
munity by proper care and cul-
tivation. Mr.. McGrath is very
much opposed to pasturing alfal-

paturing cuts the crop short at
least one third.
