All Records Broken

With the snow to the depth of three
and half feet in many parts of the
state, the recent storm, the greatest for
the month of May in the history of the
weather bureau, has assured bountiful
crops for the coming year. Nowhere in
the state did it bring with it a sufficient
urop in temperature to destroy fruit or
grain crops. Water for irrigation will
be unlimited for the next five months.
The storm started in Elbert about IL
o'clock Saturday night and before the
clouds had cleared away Tuesday morn
ing fully 20 inches of STOW had fallen.
The precipitation SO far this year for
Denver and vicinity has been 6.6o inches
or within one inch of the total preciI i
tation of the entire year of 1911.

How to Test Seed Corn

Enough ears to plant twenty acres can
be tested in a single day with home
made tester. Take corn crib lumber
and make a box six inches deep and
about two feet by three feet in size.
fill the box about half full OF moist dirt,
sand or saw dust; press in well down SO
it will have smooth even surface. Now
take white cloth about the size OF the
box; rule it off checker board fashion,
making the squares IL inches each way
Number the checks l, 2, 3 and so on.
Place this over the sand, dirt or saw
dust.
Take the ears to be tested and lay
them out on the floor; write the num-
Der OF the ear on a small square OF paper
and pin the paper to the ear. Take off
nails from both sides OF each ear, taking
one kernal on each side about / u inches
above the butt, one kernal on each side
at the center and one kernal on each
side about ] * inches below the tip.
| Put these kernals on the squares cor
responding ia number to those placed
on the ears Of corn. Be careful not to
get them mixed. Keep the ears num-
bered to correspond exactly with the
numbers on the squares of the cloth.
After the kernals have been placed
carefully on the cloth which covers the
moist sand, dirt or sawdust, cover them
over with another cloth considerably
larger than the box; cover this cloth
with about two inches Of the came moist
sand and keep the box in warm place
1t must not get cold. The kernais will
germinate in four to six days.
Remove the cover carefully to avoid
carefully. Some win have long sprouts
but almost no roots; others Will not have
grown at all, but the kernals from the
ears which will produce corn, il planted
will have both sprouts and good roots.
Compare the numbers on the squares
with those on the ears; put back into
the feeoing bin the ears which CORES.
pond in number to the numbers on the
squares where the kernals did not grow
or where they showed only weak roots.
The ears numbered corresponding
with those on the cloth which showed
strong signs Of life are the ones to pre-
serve for seed. Every kernal from these
ears should produce stalk, every stalk
an ear Keep on testing until you get
seed enough with strong vitality. 1t

Cut Worms Kill Wheat

A cut worm is doing much damage to

State. Professor s. Arthur johnson
of the Agricultural College was called to
Quimby few days ago to investigate
the destruction Of crops by some pest.
He found 100 acres OF wheat totally 1es-
troyed. A small cut worm had done
the damage. AS far as has been learn
ed this cut worm has not appeared in
other places, butt would not be sur

is being destroyed. Efforts will be
made to poison the pests before they

K. IN COLORADO
C. R. Root Declares Prosperity Looms
Ahead. Dispite the Cry Of Land
Agents Who Seek to Unload Irri-
Gated Tracts

Denver Colorado, May 49, Business
men OF Colorado can already see the
glow OF prosperity for the dry-farmer
looming on the horizon and they are
backing their anticipations with their
money, feeling that the Investment is
secure, according to G. Reno Root, gen
eral manager of The Barteldes Seed
company today.
"The reports that have been nation
wide publicity "a to the destitution
among the farmers of Colorado are
hugely exaggerated" said Mr. Root
"There is pleanty of money coming from
the dry-land districts OF the state for
the purchase Of seed for spring plant
ing. AS proof of this, there have been
only two applications made to our com
pany this spring for credit, and these
were by mail. ...,.....
Every man who has come in person
to purchase seed has said nothing about
the money. When they get what they
want they draw draft for the amount
and ask no further particulars.
.On the other hBnd, in mauy instan-
ces the people of these dry farming
districts have seed to sell, received a
telephone call from Fleming today stat
ing that a carload of corn would be
loaded out OF there for us tomorrow. At
Peyton the people have all the varities
needed in the way OF seed. They are
advertising cane, alfalfa, and seed oats
for sale and declare that they have an
abundance of seed to dispose of.
"G have received a communication
from Haxtum, in Philips county, which
reports that they have seed to sell by
the carload. This and other similar re-
ports have come from the heart of the
districts where the farmers have been
reported destitute.
"There may be certain families in
these districts who are suffering hard
ships That is the case in almost any
community. I believe that there would
be no cause for any poverty stricken
people in the dry lands of the state il
il the people would apply themselves.
The banks are rallying to the support of
those who need money and have no fear
that their money is not being safely
loaned.
.Men of finance are not hopeless be-
cause there have been a few years
drought in Colorado, but are going a
head with all confidence in what this
years crop will bring about.
'There are certain factions who are
alwa US fighting the dry farmer. The
irrigation men and the stockmen are
anxious to deliver an effective blow to
the dry farming industry 1t is to their
benefit to route the day-farmer il they
can.
"There is more seed being sold for
dry farming districts this year than ever
before, which indicates that the farm
ers are not discouraged with the pros
poets. There is a scarcity of variety in
the seed houses of the state just now
and the demand is such that it cannot
be supplied"
Mr. c. r. Root and Mr. Morgan, both
of the Barteldes Seed company were
guest at our county fair last year. Mr.
Morgan also being one of the Judges in
the Agricultural and Horticultural de-
partment, and while here they pronoun
