pounds pressure is not too heavy for the
purpose. The Vermorell type of nozzle
10 probably best suited to this work as
it breaks the spray into fine mist and
covers the ground more evenly than
the other types of sprayers. So far in
our experiments the iron sulphate has
never injured the blue grass sod. 1t
does sometimes blacken the grass some
what and is rather detrimental to the
white clover.
Iron sulphate may be secured from
any of the supply houses in Denver or
direct from the American Steel & Iron
Works. Last year the sulphate could
be obtaineed at $l.62 per 100 pounds
when ordered in large lots. At this
price the remedy is not expensive.
Yours very truly.

Southern Colorado's beet crop this
year will exceed last years crop by
more than SO per cent in acreage plant
ed according to the annual report of H.
Rieman Duval, president of the Ameri-
can Beet Sugar company, which was
made public Saturday. Mr.. Duval says
that in Colorado there will be 1888
acres of the conpany's land under cul-
tivation.
"The prospects for the coming year
indicate an increased supply of beets,"
said Mr.. Duval Saturday night. ''In
California the increase will be 1871
acres. At Grand Island, 1,285 acres.
In Colorado, where the the contracting
isn't finished. there is an insrease to
date of about SO per cent.

Trout Season Day Is a Big Success

Colorado's first trout season day has
passed into history.
All day Saturday business men, sOci-
ETY. leaders. school girls and boys and
people in all walks of life, all over the
state. were engaged in mailing post
cards to friends in the East.
Each card carried an invitation to the
person addessed TO visit Colorado and
lure the most game fish in the country
from their favorite haunt.
The event was the result of an idea
proposed to the Retail association of the
Denver Chamber of Commerce by L.
e. Allen. Out of the idea has grown
an annual event which will bring Colo
RADIOS great sport to the attention of
the whole country. Mr.. Allen proposed
that on May 20 the people of Colorado
be urged to assist in mailing 900, 600
postcards announcing the opening of
trout season.
The Chamber of Commerce of Den
yer has arranged to pay the additional
postage necessary to move cards held
up at the postoffice on account of insnf-
ficient postage. Cards which carried
more writing than the name and ad-
dress, name of the sender and greet
ings cost cents. Six hundred were
held up during the day. The chamber
will pay the postage on these and send
them on to their destination.
The plans already are under way for
conducting similar campaign next
year. Ample time will be taken to pre-
pare plenty of cards and throughly ad-
vertise the event throughout the state.
1t is probable that !, 500. 600 cards will
be the number printed at the start
next gear.

Colorado are well stocked with trout

Prof. Smell an Excellent Teacher

Prof. Smell is now closing his second
year of work IN our High School, and
we believe we voice the sentiment of
the majority of the public, when we
say during those two years Prof Smell
has organized and systematized our
schools to such a degree that the eff
cheney of our school has been wonder
fully increased. His work as school
man mas been excellent. This is the
opinion Of many who are capable of judg-
ing, and Of the men representing our
State Institutions, who have been here
for the purpose of inspection.
To find a thoroughly competent teach
er and at the same time person Of
administrative power is no easy task.
That Prof. Smell is both cannot be
questioned, if his work here is permit
ted to speak for him. He has instilled
interest in the schools, and has interest
ed parents in the work of the school,
and as result our schools are at pre-
sent occupying more prominent place
in our community than ever before.
Prof Smell should be retained in his
present place if at all possible. His
work another year viii be still better.
Frequent changes in the teaching
force of school are very demoralizing
in their effect upon the quality of work
complished. A far sighted policy should
be pursued on the part of the HighSchool
Board, and the best interests of the
school and the student body should
alone be considered by them.
Politics or petty complaints of fond
parents should not be too seriously

Jacarilla Indians to Receive Benefit

Washington, May-The Jicarilla
Indians, whose reservation lies in
northern New Mexico just south of
Archuletta county Colorado, are to re-
ceive long needed attention from the
government. The Indians are to be per-
mitted to dispose of timber on their
reservation under restrictions that will
insure them the benefit of the income.
At the time Senator Guggenheim In
terested himself in the tribes affairs
their condition was distressing. Ma
turally the Jicoillas possess strong
home tendencies. Several years ago
they were moved by the government
from their fertile reservation where
they had large herds of sheep which
made them self supporting. Their
new reservation was in a mountainous
district where snow lay on the ground
four or FIVE months each year and con-
ditions were such that they could not
pursue their customary industry pro,
fitably. Then their birth rate began to
diminish until at present it is about one
half the death rate. Sickness also
tended to deplete their numbers.

Omaha Boosters Visit Julesburg

Last Monday shortly before noon the
special train of the Omaha Boosters
arrived in JuIesburg. The boosters
were given warm reception by the
business men and citizens of this place.
They carried with them q brass band
that is seldom equaled. The boosters
distributed souvenirs representing their
firms and business. They remained in
this city about three quarters of an
hour. The business men of this place
took them around the city for = fifteen
minute auto drive, and they were very
enthusiastic in the progrefs and clean
illness of our little city. About thirty
cars were used in the driving of the
gentlemen around the town. JulesburR

SPECTATORS EXCLUDED From COURT
Room In SENSATIONAL CASE

Room In SENSATIONAL CASE
Judge Burke in ordering that the
trial of the Messing Case should not be
attended by the general public, on the
ground that such trials are detri-
mental to the morals of the community
in which they are conducted. will no
doubt be met with approval on the part
of all well thinking people. Many
Court are now enforcing such rules .. in
sensational cases. No injury would
follow even a stricter enforcement of
such rule. The Judges order does
not deprive the defendant of his right
to public trial, as it is with consent
of counsel, that the order is made and
the defendant is permitted to have any
person he may desire remain in the
Court room.
MESSING FOUND GUILTY OF RAPE In
The FIRST DEGREE
In the case of the State of Colorado
versus ]. e. Messing the Jury found
Messing guilty of rape in the first de.
gree. This is serious charge and it
is probable that Judge Burk will give
him lengthy sentence. The girl in
the case has been an invalid for the
past fifteen years and j. c. Messing, =
fake doctor, claiming to be magnetic
healer stated to the aged parents that
he could cure the girl of her spinal
trouble. They having done everything
for the child in their power, and med
ical aid being of no avail, they decided
to try Messing's method of healing.
He administered his treatments for
some length of time and the girl SEEM
ed to think that he was doing her a
little good. 1t is thought by the par
ents and the people in general that he
had gained an influence over the girl
that mace her think that he had bene-
fitted her, aud through this influence he
committee his dastardly crime.
A man of ]. C. Messing's kind,
who works his cowardly tricks on peo-
pie with unsound minds and through
the influence he can gain over them in
claiming to help them in his magnetic
healing, should ip all cases, be incar-
cerated and put to hard work for the
rest of his days.

A Few Words With Lawn Growers

almost no dandelions showed up in
these plots. Being encouraged by this
work an attempt was made to eradicate
the dandelions over the whole campus.
This work was done with a proper
sprayer and during the season two
and one-half tons of iron sulphate were
used. Twelve and one-half per cent.
solution was used and the campus was
sprayed three times during the season.
Either because of the work not being
as thorough as on the small plots or be-
cause of greater resistance of the
plants, this spraying did not eradicate
dandelions to any such extent as the
work of the previous year. In fact,
dandelions are still showing all over
the campus. A careful examination,
however, shows that the dardelions
are few in number as compared with
one year ago. In fact, it is doubtful if
there are more than 10 per cent. as
many plants now as before the spray
ing was done. One plant in 10, however,
is enough to make considerable show
ing of dandelions over the lawns. In
doing this spraying it was noticed that
where the plants were allowed to grow
to good size before spraying the sui
phate took effect much more quickly
and effectually. In fact in some of
the out of the way places where the
dandelions were nearly foot high one
spraying kill the tops down in few
hours and killed the larger part to the
plants, where the closer clipped plants
on the lawn were much more resistant.
1t was also noticeable that the spray
effected the plants more in the latter
part of the season than in the early sea-
son. This undoubtedly due to the fact
that the dandelion is one to the types of
plants that store elaborated plant food
in the root. This storing of plant food
comes quite largely in the latter part of
the season and in the spring the growth
of plants come to a great extent from
this stored energy in the fieshy root.
Although our experiments so far have
not been as satisfactory as we would
desire we unhesitatingly recommend the
iron sulphate as remedy for dande-
lions. 1t should be used at from 12a to
15per cent. strength in water. 1t
should be applied with force pump
that will give a fine spray so as to
thoroughly coat the leaves with the H.
quid. 1t is best to dissolve the iron
sulphate and strain the liquid through
The Julesburg grit-advocate., 1911-05-25

In answer to letter written by a
Julesburg Lawn Grower comes the fol-
lowing reply.
Several remedies have been used in
experimenting with the dandelion pest.
Digging out the plants was systematical-
ly carried on at the college campus the
larger part of one season. The only
apparent result from this was to in
crease the number Of plants. Wherever
a root is cut up it will send up from one
to four tops. OF course the root is
cut deeply enough in the ground -four
to six inches), the plant will usually he
destroyed But this, as you will readily
see, is equivalent to plowing the ground
so that the digging has been given up
as unsatisfactory.
Gasoline had also been used. The
method of procedure in this work was
to apply small quantity of gasoline to
the crowns of the plants. This at first
a ppeared to kill the plants but it was
.Jbund later that it only killed the top
and had the same effect as the digging.
The most successful method that has
so far been found is that of spraying
with solution of iron sulphate in wa
ter. The remedy is not entirely salts
factory but has several advantages
over any other system that we have
tried. In the first place in using the
liquid in the form of spray consid-
cradle territory can be covered in a
comparatively short time. In some ex-
periments carried on on the campns of
the agricultural college during the
summer of 1909 some plots were spray
ed with different proportions of iron
sulphate in water. A q per cent. (by
weight) strength of solution killed
some of the plants; 5 per cent. did
fairly good work; 10, Is and 20 per
cent. practically eradicated the pest.
This work was done with hand spray
er and being on small plot was of
course done very thoroughly. The
area sprayed had been practically
solid mass of dandelions and after the
first spraying the ground was bare,
only few weak plants of grass show
ing in the plot. This work was done
in July. Another application was made
in August which practically eradicated
the dandelions from the plots where
the stronger solutions were used. This
experiment led US to believe that
dandelion spraying was to be entirely
satisfactory. In the spring of 1910
