BLACK WALNUT TIMBER CAN
BE GROWN IN COLORADO

Under favorable conditions the black
walnut is easily grown all over Colo
rado at attitudes under 5000 feet and
it is native to New Mexico and Ari-
zona. The Nogal nuts, as the Mexi-
cans call them, should be planted
where the trees are to be permanently
located for the reason that transplant
ing is impractical in this dry country.
The nuts should not be hulled as the
hull in no way interferes with germina-
tion and it protects the kernel from
injury by drying. The only treatment
necessary before planting in the late
fall is to see that the nuts do not dry
out. Once when kid we bored GIN
let holes in the stem end simply pene-
trating the shell and everyone of them
terminated. For spring planting the
nuts should be stratified over winter
in moist sand or leaves in any protect.
ed place. In stratifying inch layer
OF sand or leaves should alternate with
layer of nuts of the same depth The
Pile should be kept moist and allowed
to freeze and remain frozen through
out the winter. This is done to check
the shell so that termination can go
right on in the spring but be sure that
the ground is kept well dampened
throughout our dry winters so that the
frost can do its work The black wal.
nut is tree that requires the deepest
and richest soil that can be found
along creek and river valleys for its
best development yet at the same time
1t makes very satisfactory growth on
the prairie soil but it is not suscepti-
Bile to transplanting. Two nuts should
be dropped in the place where the tree
Is to stand to avoid possible vacancy.
The nuts should be planted three feet
apart in furrows ten feet apart and not
more than four inches deep. The
black walnut is very sensitive to dry.

necessary to give the Seeding trees
the best of cultivation until they de-
velop good root system and take pos

TAKE SUPREME RI 'COURT ! ~
OUT OF POLITICS

Statement by Hon. Wilbur F. Stone,
Chairman of Judiciary Committee of
the Convention Which Framed the
Colorado Constitution in 1876.
The Non Partisan Judiciary Party is
founded to remove the courts from
political strife, and to restore the con-
fidence of the people in the admins
tration of justice. 1t is non political.
A Democrat, Republican, or Progress
sive can vote for John r. Dixon, the
the Supreme Court. without impair
ing his or her political standing.
The judiciary is the keystone of the
social fabric. Upon it rests the per-
curity of his civil and property rights.
Its efficiency for the purposes for
which it exists depends upon the
judges-not only upon their lerning
and ability, but upon their courage in
tegrity and independence.
The most dangerous condition that
exists with us is the feeling of disre.
respect for the courts. Nothing has
done more to cause the people to lose
confidence in their institutions, in
their laws and in themselves.
In no party can any candidate
receive the nomination, whatever his
virtues. his learning or his ability
unless he be regarded as safe-thai
is 1t is believed that he will II

fleet the views of those who are re

can be no greater peril to free peo

tion should be amended SO as to re
