A Million for Better Farming

An announcement that Chicago
business man has offered million
dollars to be distributed in amounts
of one thousand dollars each to
help defray the expenses Of main
tanning a farming expert in each
county OF the United States concen-
trates attention upon this subject
as no other action could. Bills be-
fore congress, designed to provide
this very thing, have had the sup
port OF farmers, teachers and inves-
tigators: but the offer of this I'M
mediately available endowment
brings the promoters face to face
with the problem of finding the
experts"
Even our best agricultural col
leges can furnish each year only two
or three graduates capable OF hoid-
ing such position. The number
of men who may be drafted from
the ranks of active farmers are
likewise few. The difficulties
which owners of estates have found
In securing capable managers SHOW
that 1t Is a virtual impossibility TO
establish any considerable number
of county experts Immediately. rms
work must be developement dur
ing several years. The experts are
not to be had Immediately.

THUNDER STORM
SWEEPS COUNTY

Rain fell over the county Satur'
day and Sunday. In some sections
hail fell, but not enough to do any
damage. The center of the storm
was in Pleasant Valley, where
terrific thunder storm ragged. Huge
trees were felled by the lightning
and houses were struck. Mrs. II.
N. Bickling was driving in from
Greeley and said that the lightning
was so severe that the horse would
stop from fright.
Mrs. Charles Bliss was standing
in the doorway of her house in
Pleasant valley when a large tree
was struck in the front yard.
Splinters were thrown in all direc-
tons and Mrs. Bliss was slightly
shocked.
Windsor reports a heavy rain
that flooded the roads and made
them impossible. Many auto par
ties were stalled in the mud west OF
Greeley. In the southern part of
the county regular cloud burst
fell.

alfalfa Crop
Has "Come Back

Gilcrest, June 2S.-The aliaiIa
cron has "come back. When the
third cutting OF alfalfa is made the
farmers will find that there has no.
been such an output OF hay LOT 10
wears Last year the alfalfa was
winter killed but this year, on az
count OF the splendid climatic con
dition conducive to good crop
and added to this above all, the ao-
sence of grasshoppers in this ais, .,,

harvest a bumper yield. All thal
the farmers need now is heip III

this week. For what help is OBTAIN
able the farmers are paying IRON,

unon the farmer but is extremely
severe upon his wife. The women
have all of the cooking to do ana
some are preparing meals lot ~
extra hands. Because the laoorers
that have been plentiful heretofore
are fighting shy of this district the
farmers have to so to Denver ana
secure green help from the employ

about 80 tons capacity. Very few

Because there will be plentiful
supply of hay this fall many sheep
will be fed. Last year the scarcity
of fodder necessitated but few sheep
in Weld county. The first cutting
of hay is not extra good for dairy
COWS but the other cuttings prove
good feed. In the dry land country
around Grover the farmers are
much interest in the
raising of alfalfa. There are sew
eral large fields about Hereford and
Carpenter that are making fine
showing. 1t seems that it can be
grown on dry land without irriga-
ton, and if this proves success. as
now seems certain, the future OF the
country is assured. Fifty acres are
being planted on George Adams
ranch near Grover and many of the
farmers are sowing smaller pieces.

Students to go
On Excursion to
The Mountains

Following the precedent of last
year, the summer school students of
the Teachers college will enjoy one
of the Tribune's mountain excur-
sions on Saturday, July 13. At the
chapel hour this morning 106 signi-
fled their intention Of participating,
and this will be swelled to 25O be-
fore the date set.
The young folks will go to Ell
dora on the Switzerland Trail in
one or two special trains. and travel
on as chedule so elastic that they
may have the train stopped at half
a dozen places OF interest enroute.
Last year many of the students of
the present session enjoyed a SINH
lar trip over the Moffat road, and
for that reason this years excursion
will have Eldora for the destination.
Stops will be made at Glacier Lake,
and at the Blue Bird mine, where
the North Boulder creek comes
tumbling down from the mountains;
and at Eldora. after a picnic dinner
the excursionists will climb to Lake
Eldora, 1000 feet above the town,
where Proprietor Chamberlain OF
the Pine Log Inn has invited them
to make themselves at home on the
grounds of his pleasure resort. The
nature study class, as we'll as the
botany and geological enthusiasts
will have ample opportunity to en-
JOY their fads to the fullest. Dis
ciples of lzak Walton who wish to
take rods and fly books, will have
about four hours to whip the
stream, and will be let off the train
just where fishing is best
While this Tribune excursion is
primarily a trip for the summer
students, outsiders are not barred
and. as was the case last year, IA
great many friends OF the school
and the students will participate in
the trip. The tickets will be on
sale at the school and at the Trib-
une Office after next Monday. They
will not be on sale at the depot.
The rate ia SO for the round trip,
children half fare. A seat will be
provided for every ticket sold. A
portion OF the proceeds of the ex-
cursion goes to enrich the students
aid fund of the college.

NO FILTH, NO FLIES

"Swat-the-hy" campaigns for
1912 are we'll on. The elimination
of this filthy and dangerous insect
is a desirable end. The house ny.
in addition to being a demonstrated
agent in the spreading of typhoid, is
strongly suspected, on more or less
conclusive evidence, with relation
to a large number OF infections, in
Guiding cholera. dysentery, the in
fantile diarrhoeas. diphtheria and
contagious ophthalmia. About l.
100000 flies were killed in
various campaigns in l911-a state
ment which seems impressive until
one considers the number of nies
which escaped the slaughter. In
Washington. d. c., alone, some T.
100000 flies were killed by the
swat, the trap. drowning, sulphur
fumes and even by electrocution.
DR.. Howard, of the bureau OF ento-
mology, points out that IN the con-
genial climate OF that city seven
generations of flies may be produc-
ed In a single summer. One female
Ay will lay on an average a batch Of
120 eggs; and II all these eggs from
a batch laid in the middle OF April
should hatch and reproduce their
kind in like manner. there would be
by autumn for single female ny,
a progeny of nearly O,OOO.-
900. And as each female may lay
four patches OF eggs, the figures for
their unchecked development
through summer stagger the imag-
ination. To swat the fly" by the
billion. therefore. means little, says
The Journal OF the American Medi-
cal association, so long as those that
survive have unchecked opportunity
for breeding. There is even more
weight. therefore. in Stockbridge's g
statement that during 1911 filthy
breeding places were cleaned up,
which, II lett alone, would have Civ
en- opportunity for the propagation
OF incalculable billions. Better than
"swatting" the fly is the prevention
OF its breeding by cleaning up the
places where 1t thrives-the insani-
tary privy. the dead dog and horse
allowed to lie unburied until putrid
the dung heap, the uncovered gar
bage can and the spittoon. How
this can be done can be learned from
the health departments OF many
states and municipalities. and from
civic leagues and like organizations

CROPS WILL REPAY THOSE WHO

AND HOMEsTEADERS WILL
HAVE GOOD YEAR

It is difficult today to distinguish
between the irrigated and the dry
land crops of northern Weld county
A representative of the Tribune
spent several days last week IN the
Grover, Hereford, keota district
and also at Num- and Carr. Where
ever a crop has been planted 1t Is
equal to anything produced In the
irrigated belt.
Every field of rye is knee high and
many fields of barley are over the
fence tops. Corn is perfect stand
and some of it is already laid BY
The most thriving district is imme-
diately west Of Grover where almost
every homesteader has remained
and put in crop.
In other directions about three
cabins out of four are empty owing
to lack of capital to purchase SEED
and tools. In the bottom lands
around Grover there are thousands
Of acres of wild hay which is now
knee high and old timers say Will

landers who are fortunate enough
to have a crop will reap a harvest

Alfalfa So Inches High

Hudson, July 1.-The alfalfa on
Simon Thorell's farm, one mile west
OF here. stands. So inches high. This
fs the record for height in the first
cutting in Weld county. Thorell
is stacking his hay now and says
that the yield will be over two tons
to the acre. Never in the history of
this section has there been such a
stand of alfalfa. 1t is expected that
the crop will bring the farmers from
IS to So ton. Some OF the farm
ers will stack the hay for their own
nse in the fall when they will feed
sheep. The abundant hay crop this
year means much for the farmers
in this vicinity as some make sheep
feeding their principal occupation.

MORGAN CUTOFF
WILL Be BUILT

w B. Scott, vice president and
general manager of the Union Pa
cific railroad, arrived in Denver to
attend a meeting of the directors of
the Union Depot company and to in
spect the shops of the road at For
tieth and Williams streets.
Mr. Scott said that II the harvest
Of the crops in the fall proved up to
his present expectations the Union
Pacific will probably begin the con.
struction Of the Fort Morgan cutoff
which will cost between 100000
and 100000 and reduce the dis
fAnce between Denver and Fort
Morgan 25 miles. He said that the
crop conditions are excellent nov
and everything points to the har
vesting of the largest crop which
has been made in the history OF tn,
state.

Ira Shortridge
Makes a Record
On Strawberries

Ira Shortridge is some straw
berry expert. all right, and today
brought to the Tribune office five
boxes of his pick to prove it.
.Mr. Shortridge lives four miles
southeast Of Greeley, and has been
growing strawberries to a sertain
extent for several years. This year
he has three-fourths of an acre of
berries that are bearing to beat the
cars. He refuses to say just how
many he has picked from his patch
this season, but promises to give
complete figures at the close Of the
season. Yesterday, however, he
gathered 80 crates of "a boxes each
720 quarts for the one days pick
ing. The samples left at this office
today were Senator'S" great big
fellows OF aldermanic proportions,
and favored finely. Mr.. Short.
ridge has been picking daily for the
past ten days, and most of his out.
put has been handled by the Wilson
Grocery company.
! Strawberries used to be a stand
ard garden crop in the vicinity O
Greeley 20 or 80 years ago, ant
thousands Of boxes were shipped ou
every summer. Then, for some un
known reason the toothsome frui
became unproductive, the vines per
sisted in dying without visible caus,
and strawberry growing was prac
tically abandoned. Within the pas
couple OF seasons the industry ha
revived somewhat, and it is POSSIBLE
that it may be again be added t,
Greeley's list of paying crops.

DAVID LUBIN'S RURAL CREDIT
PLAN

At the recent conference on rural
credit at Nashville, Tenn, David
Lubin was the principal speaker. He
must be credited with the planning
and promotion Of the idea which
has resulted in the organization of
the International Institute of Agri-
culture at Rome, to which over 25
nations now subscribe and send
delegates. Mr.. Lubin represents the
United States. Though the prin-
cipal work Of the institute has been
in crop reporting. the subject of
rural credit is now being studied.
Mr.. Lubin gave the details of the
European systems and made a
strong argument to show that the
cial weakness Of its rural life as
compared with the industrial and
commercial life. He added that 1t
could do this by building up rural
credit on European experience.
Luigi Luzzatti. former prime min
lister and now Italian representative
at the International Institute OF Az
riculture, sent letter in which he
spoke for sound system of land
mortgage credit with land mortgage
bonds to which preference should be
given in the investment of the peo-
pies saving deposits With mutual
land mortgage credit associations
there should be mutual agricultural
credit associations, Agricultural CO.
operative banks for medium and
