Everybody remembers the dry
season ten years ago when during
potato irrigation the fields north of
Greeley at nights were full of lam
terms like fireflys. Well, all signs
point to the conclusion that this was
not alone a matter of necessity in
those years under some of our
bitches, but the best of practice"
says c. l.. Fitch of the Agricultural
college.
The two things that make the
fusarium disease grow are certainly
soakage and heat in the soil, and
especially both together. In one
field yesterday on the dry land near
Briggsdale l found that at l O'Clock
the surface dirt between the potato
rows was 1873 degrees Fahrenheit,

NEARLY READY
FOR Campaign
Stewart Crowd Will Issue State
nlent SOOn-Merle Vincent
for the Senate

The Stewart Progressives of the
Republican party have prepared a
statement setting forth fully their
plans for the presidential and state
campaign.
In the statement 1t is set forth,
first, that it has been learned that
Roosevelt Republicans are not go
ing to be recognized in the Republic
can assembly. In view of this, the
Progressives will ignore the assem-
bly, and proceed, under the primary
law, to file all nominations for
state and congressional Officers on
the Republican primary ticket by
petition.
The statewide petition campaign
will be started within week. After
the primaries have been held, the
Progressives will file Roosevelt cleo
toral nominees on an independent
Roosevelt ticket, and the progress
sive candidates who are successful
in the primaries will also be placed
on that ticket.
The statement of the Stewart
Progressives. which is to be given
to the public Immediately. is signed
by all the Progressive Republican
leaders.
The Pueblo Progressive Republi-
cans held a meeting and issued a
formal call to Merle ID. Vincent to
accept the nomination for United
States senator for the long term, to
succeed Senator Simon Guggenheim.

WELD SHOULD
GET BUSY ON
AN EXHIBIT"
Representative Teller Thinks Weld
Should Begin ut Once ON Pam
anna Exposition Show

Windsor, July 1T believe
that now is the time for Weld
county to get together and begin to
make preparations for the exhibit
that Colorado will have on display
at the Panama Exposition at San
Francisco in 1915,' said Harrison
Teller yesterday. Mr.. Teller re-
turned three weeks ago from San
Francisco where he went as one of
. committee appointed by the last
General Assembly to choose a site
for the Colorado building. The
committee decided that location
upon the water front was the best
possible site and SO secured lease
upon a large strip OF ground over
looking Golden Gate.
Mr.. Teller says that Colorado has
never had an exhibit at national
exposition that did justice to the
state. Such displays as grains could
be saved from this years crop and
prepared for the Panama EXPOSE
ton. Mr.. Teller believes that this
year the farmers will harvest one OF
the largest crops in the history OF
Weld county.
Weld county, says Mr.. Teller,
must play an important part in
the exhibition that leaves this state.
We want to show the people that
this county is the leading agricul-
tural section in the state

THESE RIVERS
ARE FLOODLESS

although the long, steady run of water
in the Poudre and Thompson rivers has
been phenominal, it has for the greater
part of the time only supplied the de-
maud for direct irrigation and the reser-
voirs have not yet filed. Although the
flood season, when reservoirs fill has
passed. there has been 10 floods in these
two rivers and the prospects now are that
there will be none The continued cool
weather has caused slow melting Of the
snow, which kept the rivers high and has
supplied the demand for direc,irrigation
At noon Tuesday storage ceased IN Boyd
Lake and no more water can be secured
for the lake unless rains raise the river.
The reservoirs which fill from the Platte
river are getting a good run this week
from the floods Of that river.

the earth much warmer in such

small should cultivate after irrigat-
ing. This is regularly done in the
