SUMNER SEEDING OF ALFALFA.

This plan is being more and more
favored, says prominent farming
editor. The seed must be sown early
in August so that the plants will get
well established before freezing
weather. The requisites for success
full stand and a good catch, in addition
to suitable weather, are a finely pre-.
pared seed bed, plenty of available
plant food, good seed and the right
kind of inoculation.
The land should be well plowed
and narrowed at frequent intervals
and to conserve moisture and kill tho
weeds. A heavy application of stable
manure or of commercial fertilizer is
essential. The plans need consider.
able available nitrogen to give them a
quick, strong start. Above all things
the soil must be sweet, for in q sour
or acid soil alfalfa or other legumes
will not thrive. A ton of lime to the
acre is generally not too much to ap-
ply. This should be spread broadcast
and well worked into the soil month
before sowing the seed.

DARROW ONSTAND TELLS
INTERESTING STORY

LOS ANGELES, Calf, Aug. 15.-
In order that additional time might
be granted for the final argument of
Clarence S. Darrow in his on behalf
the Darrow bribery trial convened al
$3.50 o'clock this morning, an hour
and half earlier than usual time.
Darrow spoke until noon, when the
time allotted by the defense, expired
and District Attorney John D. Fred
ericks was scheduled to begin the
concluding argument at the beginn-
ing of the afternon session.
Darrow declared that the blowing
up of the Times was not the result
of plot to desrtoy lives and he alb
solved the McNamaras of any guilt
of murder. The dynamite was placed
there wrongfully and criminally he
admitted, but it was not though of
taking human life.
"The explosion stopped the print
there was gas or oil that ignited and
the fire destroyed these human
lives.
"The explosion" he said, "was pa
raded before the jury by Assistant
District Attorney Ford and that in
some way it may awaken prejudice
in your hearts against me.
"There was never man charged
with crime" said Darrom in conclu-
sion, "that l was not sorry for that
| could not find reasons that moved
him. That l could not find the mo-
tives that moved his poor weak brain
and l tell you today, as Mr.. Steffens
told you from the witness stand,
there will come a time when crime
will disappear, but it will never come
by building jails and penitentiaries
and scaffolds, but by changing the
condition of life under which mer
have lived and died"

sion, consisting of several engineers,
bat it will be noticed that Of the half
dozen engineers suggested for the
committee but one come, from Colo
RADIO, our state engines sr.
1t is difficult for our people TO un-
derstand just how fair decision can
be given when the committee would
be made up of committee standing
about five to one in favor of the pres
ent method Of the government in
handling that question.
The better method would be to have
a committee of disinterested engi-
neers make an investigation. II will
be remembered that the consideration
of this matter is one of business and
that the state of Colorado has decided
to test the matter in the courts. The
government officials knowing that the
state means to take the matter into
the federal courts has now offered to
enter into negotiations hoping to pre-
vent litigation. Irrigation lawyers
are of the opinion that the state
can win in the federal courts. The
state legislature has authorized ac-
tion along that line.
Governor Shafroth is not in favor
of the proposed committee of engi-
neers, which is most likely to be pre-
iudiced.

COLoRADo's TRIUMPH

We are informed by the United
department of agriculture that this
years products of Colorado farms
will bring the growers about $113,-
100000. This is equivalent to dis
tribution of $135 to every person in
the state, while the national average
will not be more than 500.
But more than these millions is the
gain in hope and courage. 1t means
the end of lean years for Colorado
the success of the long struggle that
has had the tanning of the torrent and
the blossoming of the desert for its
object. This golden year will carry
great irrigation projects to success,
supply the sinews for more success
full war to the dry farmer" of the
east. Every year in the last ten has
seen ruge advances in the agricultur-
al industries, but the glory of 1912
comes as clarion to let the world
know what Daniel Webster once
branded as Savage waste" is now
the garden spot of the nation.
Nor in other directions has Colora-
do failed to struggle for success and
superiority. AS men have wrestled
with the earth and the mountain
stream, so have thinkers and fight
ers been graphing with political, So
cial and industrial problems. All those
things that are ugly in life, unfair
in business, evil in politics and un-
just in industry, have been warred
against with the same splendid energy
that has characterized the fight
against sand and alkali.
And as 1912 marks triumph for
the earth wrestlers, so does it spell
victory for those who have struggled
to establish more wholesome, sane
and expansive environment. AS the
first fruits of the initiative, ten bills
will be presented to the people at the
November election which will make
Colorado the freest state in the union.
So then, with land of proved rich
ness, and conditions under which ev-
cry worker will be guaranteed the
fruits of his toll, how can the future
of Colorado be other than glorious p

CHICAGO OBSERVES MASSACRE
DAY.

CHICAGO, ILL.,, Aug. 15.-Chicago
turned back the pages of her his
tory today and commenced the one
hundredth anniversary Of the Fort
Deaborn massacre, from which event
date the real beginning of the career
Of the western metropolis.
The celebration included sham
naval attack on the city, reception
to descendants Of the pioneer, and
exercises under the joint auspices
of the Chicago Historical society,
the Society of the War of 1872 and
the United States Daughters of 1872.
Fort Deaborn, located near the
mouth of the Chicago river, was
built in 1906 under the superintend-
ence of Major John Whistler. At
the beginning of the second war with
Great Britain the fort was occupied
by Captain Nathan Heald, with a
garrison of 81 men. Upon orders
from General Hull it was evacuated
on August 15, 1872. Immediately af-
ter the Indians burned the fort and
began massacre of the garriosn and
the residents of the little sett' ,ment
that had sprung up near the fort. A
total of 39 men, two women ard IL
children were slain before the In
dians were driven off.

In reviewing the Wolgast-Rivers
fight pictures one has delicate
task. But one thing is certain it
was the hardest fought battle ever
staged in the lightweight division.
The pictures are one continuous
round of action and Mr.. Pitts, the
state agent, also a ringside specta-
tor says that you can tell as much
about the ending of the fight by
seeing the pictures as you could
should you have been at the bout.
And if clearness and vividness por-
tray or prove anything we agree
with him. The double knockout
coming in the thirteenth round is
the only such ending that ever oc-

LABORERS COME TO EARLY.

There has been considerable COM
ment on the effort of the Denver
Times to secure fruit rickers for the
western slope. Early in the season
the Times began an organized move
ment to assist the western slope fruit
men and the laborers in securing the
necessary help and positions. The
Times made an unusual effort to ac-
complish the object underta;> al and
SO well did it succeed that, in fact,
it overdid the matter, according to
the reports from the w.sterb slope
which were to the effes. that many
laborers had gone there too early to
secure employment as fruit picke,s.
AT this season of the year the fruit
men have but little work Of any kind
and consequently those who went
ever there for work found none and
many were unable to get away and
had no means to provii, themselves
with the necessaries of lif, waiting
for the fruit to get ripe.
Some of the state papers took up
the matter and severey criticised the
Times for making what hey termed
great blunder in its des,t, to pull
off big stunt. About the orly
criticism that could be offered in a
case of that kind would be that the
Times should have informed the la
borers as to the tima when they could
secure employment in the orchaid ds.

CROP PROSPECTS NEVER BET
TER.

The farmers coming from over the
county are highly pleased with the
crop prospects and the fact that we
are having such fine rains at time
when no damage can result and much
good can be done.
The second crop of alfalfa is well
on the way and these rains are suf-
ficient to mature the crop without
the work of irrigation. This gives
the farmers an opportunity to spend
their time at other work and will
save them much in the end.
The grasses are in excellent condi-
ton and the range will be unusually
fine for the fattening of cattle this
fall. In fact, nature has SO far been
very kind to the San Juan people and
they are about ready to harvest one
of the largest all around crops ever
harvested in this section. Many of
the crops, including fruit, are said
to be the best on record.
This country because of its excel
lent prospects for bumper crop, is
getting some valuable advertising all
over Colorado and in other states.
Those who have travelled considerably
say it is matter of general comment,
and as consequence We may expect
that there will be many home seek
ers in the San Juan during the fall
and winter. The farmers east are un-
able to get away from their work at
this season of the year.

of seed to SOW, some being successful
with as eight pounds to the acre, while
other growers advise using 80 pounds.
Enough seed should be used so that
there will be several plants to each
square foot Of ground, but on irrigat-
ed land the seeding may be lighter
than where irrigation is not practiced.
Unless the land has grown alfalfa or
sweet clover, it will be well to inoc-
ulate it with alfalfa bacteria.
Two methods Of inouculation are
available; one is to use several hun
dred pounds per acre of soil from an
alfalfa field. While this is probably
the surest way, there is sometimes
danger of introducing dodder or 9TH
er noxious weeds. The other method
and the easiest and simplest is to
inoculate the seed with a pure cult
ure. There is no danger of introduc-
ing bad weeds through this method.
Failure in soil or seed incubation
have been sometimes due to poor
culture, but more often to improper
methods of application. The inocu-
lated soil or seed must not be sowr
during bright sunny day, for the
sunshine will kill the bacteria germs
very quickly. Choose a cloudy day
for this work and follow the seeding
Immediately with the harrow, weeder
or brush to cover the seed. If inocu-
lated soil is used harrow it in at once.

LOOKING TO THE FUTURE.

Roosevelt has come out in the open
in favor Of the progressive party in
Colorado ard not in favor of the pro-
gressivc Republican fight beng made
in the Republ oan party by his :.any
friends with J.. B. Stewart as leader.
Many are wondering why the rough
rider has been opposed to the plan
suggested in many states that the
Roosevelt people take control of the
Republican party and place Roosevelt
electors on the Republican ticket as
they have in Kansas and several 9TH
er states. Roosevelt mas advised
aaginst such action and too when it
would appear that such plan would
certainly place several states in his
column.
The explanation for his action has
been given by some who claim that
Roosevelt does not expert to be elect
ed president at least in 1912. They
insist that he is looking further ahead
and that he is planning for 1916, that
It is his desire to found new party
that will become dominant party.
He realize that in order to found
q new party that it is necessary to
cut loose from all other regardless
Of what the immediate effect on re-
suits will be. There seems to be good
ground for taking this view Of the
