DISTRICT COURT RULES
THAT COMMISSIONERS OF
COUNTY ACTED L LECALLY

brilliant array of legal talent
battled all day in the district court
Thursday over the status of the
board of directors of the Denver
Greeley Valley Irriagtion district the
court finally ruling that the action
or the county commissioners in the
premises was legal throughout, and
that the board of directors recog-
nized by the commissioners is the
legal board. This board comprises
F. S. Smith, chairman. Booker e.
Smith and Charles NJ. Worsfeld.
Three Of the four attorneys ap-
pearing in court were from Denver.
Judge Samuel Crump, of Crump
and Allen, and F. E. Gregg. formerly
associated with Governor Shafroth,
represented the plaintiffs, while the
defendant director and the county
commissioners were represented by
w. II. Ferguson, of Smith, Brock
and Ferguson, Denver, and County
Attorney r. e. Winbourn.

STATE Will REGULATE PRICE
OF COAL MINED ON ITS LAND

A coal lease was granted to A. w.
Dymond, Denver, for a section of
state land, by the state land board,
which gives the state the power to
control the price of coal mined and
prevent its sale to a combine.
This Is the first time in the his
tory of Colorado that the state re-
serves the right to itself to regu-
late coal mined on state land.
This is the first move, accomplish
ed, to end the coal trust reign in
Colorado and give the people a
square deal.
With few alterations to At in
dividual cases this lease will be
the form used for all coal leases
granted in the future by this land
board.
The important clause in the
lease which cinches the power of
controlling prices to the state reads
as follows:
1.-The party Of the second part
(lessee), agrees to furnish and de-
liver to the state board of land COM

potato roots were entirely healthy
below q certain depth. See this
matter herein elsewhere more fully
reported.
Professor Keyser was able to re-
fer me to records taken every day
from 1894 to 1902. inclusive, OF
soil temperatures at various depths
at Lincoln. Neb. These show in
comparing the known dry, hot years
of 1894 and 1901 and the known
years of good moisture supply. 1897
and 1902, that at Lincoln, soil tenn
peratures in the upper 1s inches
vary between hot. dry and good
moisture years from to 10 degrees
or more. That is. = dry seed bed
and dry subsoil may be. and Of
ten are, enough warmer to give the
optimum temperature for fungi Ike

and still warm enough for potatoes
to do we'll.
In connection with these figures,
which are very significant and Will
be given more fully in separate
report on the subject. we find the
following to be principles pertinent
to the case:
L. Deep cultivation tends to dry
the stem and cool the ground, thus
further approving the rule of thumb
practice. Mulching by cultivation
cools the soil. especially where much
humus is contained.
9. Shade. even such as is AFFORD
ed by grass, may cool the ground
from 3 to S degrees, or more.
3. Slopes facing the sun. like
nearly all those of the Greeley dis
trict. may be as much as 3 degrees
warmer than level soil OF the same
nature.
4. Sandy soil is most easily heat
ed and this serves to OFFSET Its be
ing also the most easily dried. The
heavier soils are the cooler. (These
have not been worse affected where
heat was the chief apparent cause
but have been where moisture was
the chief apparent cause.) In aver
age conditions. clay loan has been
observed to he 7 degrees F.. cooler
than sandy loan for the surface
foot and over degrees F. cooler
for the second and third feet.
s. Decay of manure and alfalfa
may warm the soil.
6. Warm rains may carry tne
warmth much deeper into the SOIL,
Professor w. G. Sackett tells me
that the optimum temperature tor
fusarium IS probably about IS de-
grees F., and that 1t is generally
true that 10 degrees higher or
lower would produce a marked Ell
feet. the higher being the more ad-
verse. We may be sure that we Of
ten have above 75 degrees, and that
sometimes watering in hot weather

NUN temperature rs we'll as supply

ton. ..,.

me obvious practical lessons
from all this only slightly extend
but max much more definite and
clear the practice of the most par
tlculer growers. The object must
be TO keen the seed bed as cool as
possible, get a quick growth to
snaae the ground, and to avoid sat
uratlon OF surface or sub-surface
until attef not weather is past. To
the oest or our present knowledge
the rules to these ends are: (all
bearing upon soil temperatures, or
saturation, or both.)
| l. TO irrigate thoroughly before
plowfng or In bitches some little
time before planting to cool the soil
and get quick growth. If irrigating
at planting time, do it at once, fol-
lowing the planter.
Q naluy fFrf1o4;on 30 ,o.o+oas 49,,
| fiat lands as long as practicable.
| 3. During warm weather, irrigate
at night, or in the forenoon, do it
lightly and quickly and in only
every other row, not ditching, but
not wettiRg the middle row until
cooler weather.
| 4. Have deep bitches and short
runs on fat lands not very long
runs anywhere.
s. Provide better waste bitches,
even II q sump has to be dug to
gravel TO secure escape from fat
lands.
6. Do not rrigate during warm
rains. Do not soak at any time un-
til cool weather comes
Z. Where possible, row north and
south-more important ground will
be shaded at the warmest hours.
8. Hold the sub low or substitute
row for sub-irrigation.
8. Rotate with alfalfa or peas, so
the fungl will starve down between
potato crops, and the soil be en-
riched. Enough time between po-
tato crops is as important as enough
years of alfalfa.
10. Keen live stock. A rich farm
is a cooler one. Manure is often
better applied right after potatoes
than before.
