ToIvESTldATE CHARGES
State Board of Agriculture Will
Meet Here Next Monday

Word has been received from the
secretary of the State Agriculture
college that the executive committee, the
president of the college and the director
of the Experiment Station with the sec.
retary will leave Denver next Sunday
afternoon for Rocky Ford. where meet
ing will on Monday be held to consider
the attack against experimental work at
this place.
This meeting is held in response to
the date set by J. R. O'Conner. who has
taken the initiative in the agitation. The
college authorities desire full hearing
and any who are interested, in seeing the
alfalfa work continued at this place are
invited to attend. Mr.. O'Connor has
informed the board that a suitable place
will be provided for the meeting.
There is prevalent idea that the So
called State Farm" should be a show
place or demonstration farm-as was
conducted here in former years-which is
mistake as that phase of work was
dcontinued ten or twelve years ago by a
direct order from the Department of
Agriculture, which held that the Expert
ment Station Hatch funds could not be
used in that way and the state made no
appropriation for the work here. There
was no objection by the department to
the principle of investigation where pro-
blems justified special work. The "ourly
top" investigation in beets. the expert
ment in beet seed growing. the cantaloupe
development and the researches in alfalfa
seed breeding are lines of work that
have been carried on the past nine years
on Hatch" funds from the government
and not by state money from taxes, as
many have been led to believe.
If the state could make an appropria-
ton for the work a demonstration farm
could be conducted here at Rocky Ford
to good advantage ana if the farmers
will take an interest and care to profit
by the results of such work it might be
well to urge the necessity of such work
upon the next legislature.

dODDING FART SOLD

Valuation

On Wednesday G. M. Hall. receiver Of
the defunct State Bank of Rocky Ford
acting under instructions of Judge Rizer
and with the approval of the depositors
committee, closed deal for the Godding
farm in Weld county, one of the largest
pieces of property remaining in possess
ion of the bank.
The farm contained 4so acres ard
was appraised at $4,000 at the time of
the failure. but the best and in fact the
only offer was $4,000. for which sum
the farm was disposed of to johnson &
Miller. prominent farmers and cattlemen
residing about miles from Longmont.
The receiver hopes to be able to dis
pose of Rocky Ford and Holbrook hold
ings within short time, so tina. he may
close up the affairs and pay a final diVi-
dend, which he estimates will be about
10 percent to the general depositors.

High Line on the New Santa Fe Trail

prospect that the matter may be settled

UNION TRADING co
Reorganization Meeting Adjourned
Until Today

At the meeting Of the stock holders of
the bankrupt Union Trading Co. in Pue-
bio last Friday it was learned that the
offer made by the stockholders to take
over the>property of the company at rs
cents on the dollar would be accepted but
they were unable to complete the deal
after an all-day session and SO adjourned
until today.
A feature Of the meeting was the fight
against the CLAIM of s. z. Schenek former
president and general manager of the
bankrupt Union Trading company. for
$1,000. Schenck claims that this amount
is due him for salary. He states that he
was to receive $1,000 per annum from
each Of the stores. and there were four
teen of them at the time the company
was declared bankrupt. 1t is the conten-
ton of Sohenek that he failed to collect
his salary by $4,000. Attorney Frank
c. Goudy Of Denver fought against the
payment of the bill and no decision was
made.
