The opinions of grain dealers and

that forty per cent is about the right
figure while several farmers thought
that forty per zen, was rather more

SUMMARY.
The Greeley tribune., 1912-11-07
POTATO and beet men
TAKE initial STEPS TO
GET EXPERIMENTAL FARM
Enthusiastic Meeting is Held at Court House,
Committees are Appointed to Begin Prelimi-
nary Steps---Coverment will Provide $4,000
Per Year.

An enthusiastic meeting was held
last night at the court house for the
purpose of discussing plans for es-
tablishing a government experiment
tai station at which to investigate
the causes Of potato and beet di-
seases that have been prevalent in
Weld county and in other parts of
the state and to seek remedies for
the same.
Active steps in the direction of
furtheriRg the propcsed plan were
taken and committees were appoint
ed as follows:
Committee to work on ways and
means-J. NJ. B. Petrikin, chair
man: w. H. Farr, c. 7. Neill, j. H.
Woolf, E. S. Pinney, F. B. Choate,
U. p representatives: Harry Lam
bert, C. & S. representative; III. c.

tive: f. r. Griffin, Sugar Road"
representative: w. c. Lewis, John
A. Hicks of LaSalle and r. M. Hya-
thorn of Eaton.
Committee to act on securing To-
cation for experimental station
Prof E. r. Bennett Of the State Ag-
ricultural college, S. II. Southard
and w. II. F'arr.
The plan that is under way is to
have residents of Weld county and
the State Agricultural college CO.
operate with the agricultural de-
partment at Washington in estab-
fishing and maintaining an expert
mental station near Greeley. The
government will furnish one half
of the necessary funds, giving 81
for every 81 put up by those inter-
ested here. The expense is expect
ed to be held within a $4,000 limit
per year, and the county and the
college together with the help that
is expected to be available from the
several railroads and beet factories.
it is thought. will have little trouble
in producing the $4,000 necessary
to make the project an assured
thing.
1t is intended that from 40 to so
acres of land near Greeley shall be
rented on which to conduct the ex-
perimental demonstrations. This
will be equipped with necessary
buildings and the ground laid off in
plots so that experiments in breed
ing for better and harder types Of
potatoes and beets may be conduct
ed and the results carefully observ-
ed by experts who will be placed in
charge.
Greeley is chosen as the most ap-
propriate field for the work in
question for several reasons 1t is
The Greeley tribune., 1912-11-07

one of the oldest and best potato
growing districts in the state. The
soil here is conceded to be almost
ideal The station would be within
an hours ride from the Agricultural
college so that the experts from that
institution could run over here at
almost any time. Numerous equip
ments from the college could also
be used at the Greeley station.
c. j. Crockett, president OF the
Commercial club, presided over the
meeting of last night. The first
speaker was Eugene Grubb, the
potato expert in the employ of the
Union Pacific Railroad Co., who de-
livered a clearly defined analysis OF
the situation that confronts the
potato growers of Weld county. He
was followed by Prof. E. r. Bennett,
Prof. Gillette. director of the ex-
perimental department of the Agri-
cultural college, and DR.. Charles A.
Lory, president of the college, all OF
whom made good speeches on the
subject.

For the last fifteen years she has

When asked the secret of her
