their normal development, produces
certain physical disturbances. For
beets for instance, If the leaves turn
yellow before maturing, a lack of
nitrogen is shown. If phosphoric
acid is deficient the leaves do not
assume the usual lighter shade at
maturity, but wither while still
retaining their dark green color,
and reddish colored spots are some
times seen on the edges of the
leaves, although these are not very
conspicuous. In case Of both nitrate
and phosporic acid hunger. the size
of the leaves are very much reduced
in the early stages of growth. Where
there is a lack of available potash
the leaves growth may be quite
strong up to the time that cultiva-
tion ceases and the color may be
rich dark green, but development is
checked rather suddenly at time
when the roots should increase in
size. The leaves do not ripen nor
mally, but bear yellow spots, which
later become brown. The leaves are
inclined to curl and wither quickly
in the sunshine.

as every up-to-date farmer knows
the value of crop rotation. The San
Luis valley farmer, however. has
had very little chance to properly
rotate crops. for the reason that the
greater portion of his farm has al
ways gone into small grain, and
there is no such thing as rotating
with grain. True, the San Luis val

Humus, partly decayed animal or

THE GENERAL ASSEMBLY

The nineteenth general ssembly
OF Colorado actually closed its de.
llberations at about 9 O'Clock We'd
nesday morning.
Lieutenant Governor S. R. Fitz.
garald, president of the senate,
thus summed up the work of the
legislature;
"This assembly," he said, "has not
passed as many bills as other as
semblies, but | believe that it has
passed more good bills than have
ever been passed by a single law
making body in the annals of Colo
rada legislation.
PERSONALLY, I believe the high
way bill, which makes possible the
proper use of money received from
the government for good roads and
which places the highways of the
state in a situation financially the
best, is among the most important
of the new laws. The pork barrel
has been done away with. That
step alone should be sufficient to
command for the nineteenth gen.
eral assembly the thanks of Colo
RADIO.
"The public utilities bill may
not be perfect, but it is a step in
the right direction. At least, it
gives the people what they desired.
"The new insurance code will
place insurance in Colorado on a
sound basis.
-"Nor must the new basis of tax
alton which has been established
all over the state, be overlooked
From the standpoint of the taxpay-
ers it is second to none of the ses-
sion.
"The assembly has worked hard.
1t has done the full measure of its
duty. This l think the people
know and appreciate.

 Quite a romance is connected with the marriage. Mrs. Little ton was first married to a rela- tive of MT. Littleton of Washing ton. Recently she became ac- quainted with A. L. Littleton through the correspondence of their relatives. The couple be- came correspondents, and through the medium of the mails decided to marry. They had never seen each other until MT. Littleton and his three children arrived from Washington last evening.
 Mrs. Littleton has been a resi- dent of Mena for about twoyears, and has many friends who wish her happy life. The couple will temporarily make Mena their home, perhaps spending the win ter in this city.-Mena Star.
