GOOD ROADS ASSOCIATION.
Will Hold Their Annual Convention
in Denver.


Arrangements are now being made
for the third annual convention of
the Colorado Good Roads association
which will be held in Denver during
the early part of January. The meet
ing will Immediately precede the an
nual convention OF the County Com
missioners' Association of Colorado.
In this convention the representa-
ton will be largely by membership.
That is those holding membership
cards in the association will be dele
gates without regard to appointment
to represent any city. town or COM
mercial organization.
At the present time the association
membership numbers almost 1900,
and represents practically every coun-
ty in the state. In many counties
however this membership is not as
representative as it should be, and an
active campaign will be carried on in
those sections for more members.
The convention will consider road
legislation which will be presented to
the next General Assembly, which
will then be in session. The main is
sue to be discussed however. will be
how to secure the necessary funds for
state road building, and thus avoid
having funds tied up, which should
be used for work i'll this state. A
wide tire bill. designed to prevent
wear and tear on roads, and to aid
in the maintenance of highways is
also one OF the measures TO be con-
sidcrcd.

LINCOLN DAY
Will Bring Formation of Big State
Republican Club.

Denver, Dec. Io.-Preliminary plans
for the forsation of Republican clubs
in every county and state club at
their head. and for the proposed Lin
coin day dinner. probably will be
made Saturday. A meeting of the ex-
ecutive committee of the Republican
state central committee and the COM
mittec appointed at the Republican
meeting last Friday has been called
to consider what plans are to be
made.
The committee and Jesse F. Nc
Donald. chairman of the state central
committee, held conference yester-
day to devise the steps necessary to
carrying out the proposed plans. 1t
was decided that little time shall be
lost in making arrangements for the

ganization of the state club will be
made. 1t is proposed to have Re-
publican of nttional prominence,
probably Gov. Herbert s. Hadley OF
Missouri. or Senator William Z. Bo-
rah of Idaho. to address the meeting.
Two Republicans we'll known in
their communities will be appointed
in each county to take charge of the
organization of the county clubs.
The clubs will send representatives
to the banquet and the day of the ban

farmers were wasting acres of their
land for which they have paid good
money and on which they are paying
taxes by not having their latcrals
close to the fence and one or two in
stances were given where valuable
land had been reclaimed by the NOV
ing of laterals. The speaker believed
that instead of burning the canta-
loure vines they should be plowed
well into the ground as he claimed
that the soil here in the valley is lack
ing in vegetable properties.

effect.

THINGS THE FARMER SHOULD DO
Much Valuable Information Received by
Members Of OterO agricultural
club at Last Meeting

One of the best attended and most
interesting meetings OF the Otero Ag-
ricultural Club was that of last Sat
urday.
At this meeting the topic for DIS
cussion was Things the Farmer
Should Do in December" f
The subject was opened by John
Edgar who confined his remarks to
the cleaning up OF the fields. The
speaker claimed that the insect known
as the alkali bug and other destructive
insects would live through the winter
in the weeds and under the vines la
the fields and that all such stuff along
the fences and laterals should be
burned and the ground disked in or
der to thoroughly destroy every bit
of insect life. The speaker believed
that great deal of the so-called rust
on cantaloupe vines is caused by al
lowing the vines to remain in the
fields instead of burnin gthem.
w. II. Morrison read very inter
esting paper on the many things that
the farmer should do including the
necessity OF keeping a book account
of all his work, his receipts and eN-
penditures. the speaker believing that
it was as necessary for the farmer to
do this as for the merchant The
farmer should know at all times just
exactly how he stands and just what
his crop has cost him and whether or
not it is a paying proposition for him
to raise certain things and the only
way to ascertain these things is by
keeping a strict account of what each
crop costs. The speaker told of what
a hundred dollars would do toward
improving the farm and its buildings
based on personal experience. Mr..
Morrison claimed that many of the

PLANT THAT IMPROVES SOIL.
The Sugar Beet Increases Yield of
Other Crops.


How sugar beets improve the fertil-
ity of the soil and increase the yield of
all crops grown in rotation with them
is explained in the National Magazine
by Truman G. Palmer, who has spent
the past ten years in studying agricul-
tural methods in Europe and America.
"The sugar beet being deep rooter,"
says Mr.. Palmer, IA prerequisite to its
culture is that the soil be stirred to
depth of ten to fourteen inches. The
tender beetlet having to undergo the
shock of thinning soon after it comes
up in order to leave but one beet to a
place, 1t demands well prepared, mel
low seed bed. Gathering the sugar in
its leaves from the atmosphere by the
aid of the light and storing 1t up in the
roots, 1t will not thrive II the light Is
cut Off through being shaded by weeds.
and their eradication means not only n
further stirring OF the soil by cultiva-
tion and hoeing, but they are removed
before going to seed, thus leaving
weedless fields for succeeding crops.
Being plowed out in autumn gives an
extra fall plowing, which leaves the
land in condition TO absorb instead of
shed the fall and winter rains and store
up the moisture for the following sea-
sons crop. With the removal of the
main root myriads of fibrous roots are
broken of and left in the soil to an
average Of ton to the acre. and In
rotting they not only deposit humus In
the lower strata OF soil. but leave mi
7 mute channels through which 1t be-
comes aerated and hence fertile. The
roots of subsequent crops follow these
interstices and draw nutriment from
two and three times the depth OF soil
formerly reached. and hence the farm
ers double and treble their soil output
without increasing their acreage"

WILL MARKET OWN cANTs
Arkansas Valley Growers Propose to
Eliminate Commission Men

A meeting Of the oantaloupe growers
of the Arkansas Valley was held in this
city last Friday for the purpose Of dis
cussing the advisability Of attempting to
organize to maaket their own wares.
1t appeared to be the opinion Of the
ma iority present that the commission men
had been waxing fat for years while the
growers until last year had been receiving
small returns, and they believed that this
condition could be bettered by organiz-
alton for their own protection.
At the meeting it was decided to or
ganize new association and committees
were appointed to prepare by-laws. etc.
which will be submitted to a called meet
ing in the near future. when the organic
alton will be perfected.
1t is proposed to market their product
through independent agencies and to es-
tablish system Of distribution that will
assure them ready market throughout
the season.
