FARM TOPICS.

From many sections of Colorado
come reports of threatened dam
age to sugar beets and other crops
by the invasion of the moths of the
beet worm. 1t is essential that
a close watch be kept and to de-
stroy the moths as soon as they ap-
pear. Fill a tub or barrel nearly
full of water and then pour on Coal
oil to a depth of an inch or less. At
night hang a lighted lantern above
the receptacle and the moths will be
attracted to it. They fly against
the lantern globe and fall into the
coal oil which kills them instantly.
Most persons who cultivate sugar
beet fields are not careful enough
about injuring the tops. They do
rot appreciate the value and nee
essity of the TOPS for sugar produc-
ton. The leaves are the labora-
tories of the plant, where the raw
food material taken in by the roots
is combined with carbon frcm the
air and make it into actual food for
the plant. 1t is in the leaves where
the sugar that is found in the
plant is manufactured and hence if
the tops are injured in any way the
process of sugar making is checked
md does not reach the degree of
development it otherwise would.
1t is a common practice in the
middle states to salt the hay when
it is put into the stack and we have
done a little of it with our alfalfa
here in Colorado. This is done. how
ever, by these who stack the alfal
IA in green or partially cured con-
he purpose, as they say. of prevent
ng heating. There is little question
nat the hay is relished better by
he stock. The fact that the hay
ish may be the cause for the op-
inton that sailing preserves the hay
nd makes it keep better. The ap-
'lication of small amout of salt to
he new hay In stacking may be rec
ommended, even when hay is well
cured. Two to four quarts to the
on Is usually sufficient, but IL the
hay Is green or only partially cured
more salt may be used. SO far as we
know there ds no advantage in using
ing and salt should be preferred as

MORE IMPROVEMENTS FOR

Denver, July 23, 1912-Vice-Pres
dent Brown of the Denver & Rio

improvements, the cost of which
will amount to more than a million
dollars. These improvements will con-
sist principally of the substitution
of steel and concrete bridges for
wooden structures; concrete arch

high trestles on branch lines; the
ballasting of the desert portion of
the main line between Westwater
and Cisco, Utah, improving and max

between Riverside and Malta on the

passing tracks in Colorado and

THE DEMOCRATIC NOMINEE.

1t was General Grant, we believe.
who first declared that the Demo-
;rats can always be depended on to
make a fatal blunder at a critical
line, and the history OF the party
in the last half century has almost
Invariably bourne out this assertion.
Time and again when Republican
dissention created opportunity for
Democratic victory, the party dem
onstrated the appropriateness of
tho donkey as its emblem by nom
mating the wrong candidate, TAX
ing up the wrong issue or making
some other fool move. Since the
formation of the Republican party
In 1856, fourteen administrations
have passed into history, but the
OF them. If 1t had not been for
their propensity for making blum
ders at the wrong time, they doubt
less would have Jared better.
But even the donkey has occasion
al lucid intervals, and the domes
tic animal is experiencing one this
year. Wilson was first in the field
with HIS candidacy. and as the coun-
try scrutinized his record and read
his speeches 1t was impressed with
hts sanity and sound common sense
But at that time it could hardly
hope for his nomination-for who
avar haard of the dem Ocrata chOOs
ing their best man?
Then Champ Clark got into the
game with his idiotic "houn' dawg"
song. In point of fitness for the
presidency the mythical dog Is a
bout as well equipped as his master
for despite Clarks long service in
congress he does not stand for a
single definite principle or policy
and his name Is not associated with
single noteworthy achievement.
Indeed his chief claim on his party
has been that he Is an old-fashion-
ed mocrat''-whatever that may
mean. 1t often happens that a man
of this type catches the car of the
public and sweeps the country, and
this is what Clark did--almost. In
the pre-convention campaign he
won long lead over Wilson and
the other two candidates, Underwood
and Harmon, and II 1t had not been
for Bryan's courageous light In the
convention, he almost certainly

LEAF ROLLER CURE is DIS
COVERED BY LOCAL MEN.

President Lory, of the Colorado
Agricultural college, was in Grand
Junction last Thursday, and, with
Field Horticulturist R. s. Herrick
made an investigation of the situa-
tion at the Indian school. While
here, however, he made the important
announcement that George P. We'll
don and R. S. Herrick had discov-
cred a positive prevention of the
leaf roller" which this year has
destroyed thousands of dollars
worth of fruit in the Canon City
dreaded by the fruit growers OF
Western Colorado.
The leaf roller" this year created
fearful havoc in Fremont county
Government experts were rushed to
the affected districts to examine
into the pest, and Geo. Weldon,
well known here during his long
connection with the Colorado Agri-
cultural school, was sent from that
school to investigate and see If he
could not find a preventative.
The work of Messrs. Weldon and
Herrick was most satisfactory and
they are now able to report to the
delighted fruit growers of Colorado
that they have found a certain spray
that will not only save the entire
fruit crop against the plague. but
will save SO per cent of the foli-
age. The spray is an Gil spray. In
the solution used most successfully
the investigators used targart oil in
proportion of one to nineteen.
Another spray almost as success
full and not SO expensive was manu-
fact u'red out of arsenate of lead in
proportion of eight pounds to the
hundred. Another as good was made
from arsenate of lead in proportion
is always double that used against
the coddling moth.
The spray must be applied just
when the egg masses are Matching.
The second application should be
made at the same time as the first
application is made for codling meth.
No indications of the leaf roller
have been found here but slight in
dicaticns were found in Montrose
and Delta counties. The discovery
of this spray, worth thousands Of
dollars to the state in future crops,
will effectually stop the increase OF
the pest and exterminate it in the
infected districts.-Grand Junction
