The case resolved itself into an
attack upon the rate established

having been cancelled the rate of

Smudging in the

had to resort to smudging to pro

that the orange growers of South

to resort to the same device to save
the orange crop from destruction.
Smudging is no new thing in Cal

1t has often to be resorted to;
and it has been found there, as well
as in the orchards of Colorado, to
be great means of protection. 1t

Poet Riley's
Christmas Dividends.

James Whitcomb Riley's Christ
mas celebration is the latest proof
that it pays to be an optimist.
Mr.. Riley, who is sick, and who
announced a few weeks ago that he
had written his last poem, received
more than twelve hundred letters
of encouragement and admiration
from well-wishers in all parts of the
country-most of whom he had new
err heard of until Uncle Sam brought
their messages of cheer.
All Mr.. Riley has done to merit
such a Christmas is to write poetry
breathing a spirit of kindness and
optimism. There is plenty of faulty
grammar in his quaint dialect po-
ems, but there is not a cynical flaw
in any line. He never tried to re-
mold the world nearer to his own per-
sonal desires. because he found it
just to his liking anyway. Politics
interested him not, though probab-
~ he could have written as shrewd-
ly and weightedly on political issues
as Lowell himself, or the ever-ready
Kipling.
There were plenty of sunshiny
things to be written about, so Poet
Riley never went poking about in
the shadows dragging out the ugly
things and making verses about the
cruelites and expressions and other
sad results of the failings of man
kind. 1t was all delightful work.

plant), furnish the bulk of the nee
tar, while fruit bloom and white
clover are of importance where
abundant.
The small space required for a
few swarms of bees, the reports of
large crops of honey harvested, and
the prevalent idea that bees require
no care, to speak of, have induced
thousands to embark in the bee
/ culture to a greater or less degree.
Articles by persons not familiar
with bee keeping in Colorado have
appeared in the daily and weekly
press, setting forth the advantages
and profits in bee culture. 1t is
not necessary to discourage the be-
ginner with bees, but for his own
benefit he should know the situation
with regard to disease.
American foul brood is prevalent
in every county in Colorado where
bees are kept extensively, and this
disease will enter and wipe out any
apiary sooner or later, unless the
owner knows how to take the neces-
sary precautions and to treat thor
before the whole apiary is infected.
It is a fact that American foul
brood is so contagious and spreads
so very rapidly that unless the
bee keeper is alert and progressive
he will lose all his colonies of bees.
The bees kept in box-hiye apiaries
succumb first because they cannot be
thoroughly inspected, and the dis
ease may weaken and kill a colony
before the owner is aware of the
trouble.
In many counties the disease has
driven the ignorant or negligent
bee keeper out of business, while
the alert bee man, who understands
the methods of treatment, loses but
little. If the diseased colonies are
treated in June. when the honey is
coming in freely, little loss is sus-
tanned.
There are a great many excellent
bee keepers who have from one to
fifty colonies and who obtain high
er averages per colony than the
specialists-these are the kinds
who specialize later. perhaps. The
specialist and the progressive anna
teur need fear little from disease;
they will lose some but the disease
will be controlled if care is used.
This is given as a warning-that
If you have not the time to care for
bees as they should be, it would be
cheaper for you in the end to sell
them. So many thousands of colon
les have been lost from disease the
past year that it is thought neces-
sary to send out this warning, that
the loss may be checked.
If bulletins on bee diseases are
desired. write to E. F. Phillips, in
charge of bee culture. bureau of en-
tomology. Dept. of Agriculture,
Washington. d. c., and ask for the
treatment of bee diseases or
write to c. P. Gillette, State En-

THE WESTERN STOCK SHOW.
The Big Agricultural Event Of the
lntermountain Country viii
Draw Stockmen and Farm
ers to Denver.

The Seventh Annual National West
ern Stock Show, which will be held IN
Denver during the week OF January
1920. promises to be the greatest OF
all the shows yet held there. This
big annual event has grown to be the
principal agricultural event of the
year in the iptermountain country.
every year 1t has extended Its In
fluence and has developed into a
great national exhibition or EXPOSE
ton. The secret of the success OF
this show Is the fact that the prime
object, that of education, has never
for a momen. been forgotten. While
the entertainment part is not over
looked even the entertainment has
more or less of educational value and
the strictly circus features are elimi-
mated.
The show consists of four great de-
partments, each a show In itself.
There Is the stock show, which takes
in the breeding and fat stock both in
single entries, groups and car loads.
Then there is the Horse Show, which
provides the entertainment and at the
same time demonstrates the horse In
all of his phases. The National West
ern Poultry Show Is one OF the big
features and very popular and the
Feed and Forage exhibit takes In q
wide range of crops that can be grown
in the West and which are suitable
for the production OF live stock.
The commercial end of the show 10
found in the carload exhibits, where
farmers and stockmen exhibit the
product OF the ranch and range In COM
petition and after the competitive
test and awarding of ribbons the stock
is sold at public sale. giving the
further test of actual value In dollars
and cents. In addition there are held
sales of pure bred cattle, horses, sheep,
hogs and poultry. which provides the
farmer and stockman an opportunity
to secure choice breeding stock at fair
prices.
AS an entertainment. the big show
Is well worth a visit. AS an educa-
tional medium and a strictly business
proposition, no stockman or farmer
In the West can afford to miss II.
Last January more than $4,000 West
ern stockmen and farmers visited the
show. 1t is expected that nearer 49,
900 will attend the coming show and
the railroads have made rates that
will enable all to attend.
