DO YOU BELIEVE in simplified
spelling, or is the old fashioned method
advocated by Webster and praeticed
by your father good enough for you!
Do you know why we spell as we do
instead of adopting the method once
endorsed by "Teddy, the Great? We
don t know which side of the question
Prof. McLucas viii take in his leeturr
here Monday night. We haven't been
informed as to- whether he believes in
sticking to the orthography OF Noah
Webster and other great scholars who
through their great knowledge of Ian
guage found ample reason for the
course they pursued of whether he
is going to take up with the
new fad of so-called "simplifed"
spelling which someone has remarked
''may be al rite altho it luks like hel. -
At any rate, come out and hear Profes
sor McLucas and if he will explain 20
our satisfaction why some of our cor
respondents spell as they do we II make
him present of the paper in which
he reads this item.

THE POST HOPES the people of
Colorado who are in comfortable cur
cumstances will contribute liberally to
the aid of the suffering settlers on the
plains in the eastern portion of the
state. And we likewise hope that some
sort of check can be brought against
the railroads and the real estate sharks
who are always painting rosy word
pictures of that desolate short grass
country where if they get crop two
years out of five the natives are so
surprised they nearly tumble over with
heart failure. It's all right when 1t
happens to be all right, but as steady
proposition to tie to farming in that
treeless, waterless area should be dis
couraged.

WESTERN EMPIRE and Montrose

WESTERN EMPIRE and Montrose
Press, two republican daily papers ut
Montrose. have been consolidated and
will hereafter be issued as one paper
from the Press Office. This Will appeal
to all newspaper men and to nearly
everyone else as the proper move. 1t
is true that there were some republl-
cans who were not very well pleased
with the insurgency attitude of Broth
er Adams of the Press, just as there
are some who would like the Post bet
ter if we would abuse President Taft
and endorse some fy-by-night politi-
ciarr who. hasn t ghost of a show to
be nominated, much less elected, but
that did not justify the establishment
of another paper in Montrose and the
launching of the Western Empire was
of no particular benefit politically, and
financially it was IL most disastrous
venture. To start a business where
there is no field, just because you don t
like the other fellow is ridiculous
blunder which always costs its pro
moter plenty before he gets through
with it.

PROTECTION OF IRRIGATION IN
TERESTS OBJECT OF NEW
ORGANIZATION

Denver, April THE Colorado State
Irrigation association, the completion
of which organization was perfected
yesterday, has several plans in view for
the betterment of irrigation in Colo
RADIO. There are five irrigation districts
in the state each of which works under
separate set of rules and regulations.
Oftentimes they come in conflict with
each other which results in endless lit
igation The new association has been
created from representatives from each
of the five districts, and every presi-
dent, secretary and member of boards
of directors of every ditch company in
the state will be asked to join the new
organization.
Its object will be three fold. First,
the settlement of all water right ques-
tons by arbitration rather than through
the courts second a uniform system OF
irrigation rules; third, the prevention
of the enactment of detrimental irriga-
tion laws. and fourth, the prevention
of wild cat irrigation companies. In
short the association is formed for the
purpose of bringing to successful con-
elusion the irrigation subjects and laws
in Colorado.
A. j. Grunwald of Pueblo is the see
retary, and Ben johnson of Golden is
the president. Men who attended the
conference yesterday were Frank
Goudy of Denver, A. N. Parrish of La
mar, l.. R. Rhodes of Fort Collins,
Charles F. Tew of Greeley, T. II. Will
son and w. w. Brown of Eaton, to-
gether with several others from the
western slope, the San Juan and the
San Luis valleys. The president and
secretary were authorized to prepare
articles of incorporation and to com
plete the organization of the associa-
tion.

PROPER SOIL PREPARATION .
GREAT FACTOR IN RAISING
OF GOOD FLAX

Fort Collins, April In view of the
wide interest among upland farmers
this season in the raising of flax, Prof
Alvin keyser of the state agricultural
college has issued u special bulletin On
the preparation of the soil.
Prof. Keyser says: The preparation
of land for flax viii vary a little ac
cording to whether it is grown on
new land or "'old'' land. If fax
is to be put out on breaking, the prepa-
ration of the soil will depend upon
whether the breaking is on sod or sag
brush land. If there is good, strong
sod covering the ground, the best
method is to make the first breaking
shallow, from to inches. The sod
should be rolled down perfectly fla
behind the breaker. 1t is sometimes
necessary to harrow or disk slightly to
make slight surface mulch, but this
is not always necessary. Local condi-
lions will usually indicate whether thi-
is necessary or not.
In a seed bed prepared this way,
broken early in the spring, flax can be
seeded at the proper time, using a disk
press drill. Flax can be drilled through
the sod into the moist soil below the
sod. The breaking will be thin enough
to permit the flax to come up and will
also be thick enough to form mulch
On sage brush lands, after the sage
brush has been cleared, the land should
be plowed deeply, s to 10 inches. The
blowing should be followed with disk
and spike-tooth harrow in order to pre-
pare a good seed bed. This powing
and preparation should be done as long
before seeding as possible in order to
permit of thorough settling prior to
seeding. On old lands, the lands should
be plowed early and deep, and better
still, fall plowed, and the same treat
ment given as indicated for sage brush
lands.
After the first year on sod land, the
plowing should be very deep not only
to make a better catchment reservoir
at the surface for catching rainfall,
but to more thoroughly mix the organic
matter with the top soil and prevent
its "burning out.n
Flax is not an especially tender plant,
although it will not stand heavy
freezes. Light frosts will not iniure
it. Owing to the fact that flax requires
relatively moist and cool conditions,
for its early development, it is well to
plant the crop as soon as possible. The
time of planting should be so gauged
as to miss any heavy freezes which are
normal to locality. For most of the
plains region, fax can be put in the
latter part of April or early in May.
1t can be planted as early or little
earlier than corn.

POLITICAL FADD1sM RUN RIOT

The climax of political faddism Is
reached in the preferential presidential
primary to be held tomorrow in IL
inois. Take Cook county as an exam
pie, where the voters are to be allowed
to express an opinion on everything
under the sun except the weather.
Were it possible to regulate the ele-
ments, probably the weather, too,
would have gone on the ballot. AS IT
is, there are s democratic nominees
and As republican aspirants for county
commissioners; 42 candidates for the
nomination of sanitary district trus-
tees and 40 for municipal court judge;
5 presidential candidates; senatorial
candidates; 13 gubernatorial candi-
dates and congressio onal candidates.
In addition, there are state legislative
candidates to vote for, the equal suf-
frage issue to be decided-but what 's
the use? The ballot in Cook county
resembles the Chicago business direc-
tory printed on one sheet. In New
York the primary ballots We're four
teen feet long; in Illinois they resem-
BILE stairway carpet. Each voter Will
need box of pencils. And-all this IS
in the interests of SIMPLIFYING
government and making it EASY for
the voter to express his choice..Denver

SPRING Is HERE and this calls to
mind the fact that good roads are the
most important need of Western Colo
rado today. And when we speak of
good roads don t get the mistaken no
ton that only the motor enthusiasts
will be benefited by the good roads we
are going to have right here in Gar
field county-some time. Every man
who bitches a team to vehicle and
drives out of the public highway VIII
be benefited far more than the motor
ist Whether you want to make speed
in driving to town or whether you are
interested in knowing how large load
of produce you can draw to market you
are vitally interested in good roads.
The extra feed that is put into wasted
energy on your horses as they travel
over inferior roads is worth more to
you than your amount of additional
road tax in case the county We're bond
ed for the construction of adequate
highways. Have you ever thought Of
thatl Well, we intend to give you an
opportunity to think of it in the
future.

WHAT'S THE USE of talking about

w Hal > LIE USE OF talking about
the high price of potatoes to the fell
low who has none to sell. The fellow
on the arid plains of western Kansas
or eastern Colorado who can't raise
respectable potato oftener than abouy
once in ten years doesn't warm up very
much to the stories we tell of the big
yields of the succulent spuds that are
grown ON the western slope and he dis
plays no enthusiasm at all when the
present high price is mentioned. But
here where we grow the luscious tubers
in carload and trainload lots, our folks
are very much interested and enthused
over the present remarkably high
prices. Surely, it's an i'll wind that
blows nobody good.

ONE OF THE county commissioners
of Weld county is now serving a sen
tence in the state penitentiary after
having been convicted of malfeasance
in office, the particular charge being
that he accepted bribes from Contract
or Shelley of Denver in connection with
certain bridge contracts. This week
R. w. DeVinney, another commissioner
of that county, after plea of guilty
on the same charge, resigned and VIII
place himself at the mercy of the court.
1t is openly charged that one of the
commissioners of Jefferson county ac
cepted ','present' OF $3.50 from Shec-
ley in consideration of good treatment
in the letting of bridge contracts. In
this connection it is interesting to in
quire how many vacancies there would
be in county boards if all the commits
sioners who have entered into illegal
eonspiracies with Sheeley We're to re
sign, and then again, would they all
be ON the eastern slope?

THE CULTURE OF fax has h.

THE CULTURE OF flax has been
agitated for the western slope country,
and we cannot see why it might not
prove a very profitable crop. Right
well do we remember when fax was
about the most certain as well as the
most profitable crop in eastern Kansas,
and as we now recall it, it does well
without an abundant supply of mois-
ture and for that reason We believe it
should appeal to those who are doing
the dry farming act as well as those
who have plentiful supply of irri-
~tion water. It might pay some OF
I .r fslas te investigate its merits for
this country.
