MONTHLY DIGEST.
OF Important Public Land De-
cisions.

The status of land at date of applica-
ton must govern. If not the subject Of
entry fo- any cause. the application
should be rejected. To suspend it would
be to give an unfair advantage over other
applicants, enabling the applicants to keep
off intending entrymen and affording op-
portunity for speculation in government
lands.
The Land Department having the sole
charg, of the public lands, surveyed or
unsurveyed. has jurisdiction in determin-
ing equitable as well as legal. rights, of
parties claiming interest therein,
The transferee of an unpatented entry
gets no better title than the entryman had
but he may protect himself so that he
may receive notice of any proceeding
against said entry it he files in the local
office a notice of such transfer.
Under the law even the preference
right secured by settlement duly main
tanned. is lost unless asserted through
timely entry.
The pendeney Of contest does not
excuse noncompliance with the require
ments of law.
The act of 1880 accorded successful
contestant the preference right of entry
The acceptance of any application for the
land during such period of preferential
right rests alone upon departmental re-
gulations.
Such applications have been permitted
in order to prevent, as far as possible,
any attempted disposition of the prefer
ence right accorded to the statute. 1t
follows. however, that any such suspend :

There is ample authority to
prove that farmers who have un-
der cultivation about 250 acres of
land in beets need have no hesita-
ton in investing in drying plant
for beet leaves. There are num-
erous other substances such as
potatoes and potato stalks, etc. /,
which may also be dried. Under
these conditions one may utilize
as a fodder numerous plants which
are allowed to rot upon the fields.
One of the most difficult points to
observe in the leaf drying is to
properly chop up the leaves. 1t
is estimated that if the beet leaves
in Germany were all utilized they
would represent an annual value
of s22, 100000. AS for potato
leaves, they mean a feeding value
of $IO5,OO0,000.
just whether early harvesting
offers any practical advantage re-
mains an open question; it is gen.
orally considered mistake to har-
vest beets before they are
thoroughly matured. The exter-
ior signs are to be found in the
leaves; they are yellow and by
their condition show they no long
er render service to the roots to
which they are attached.
Sugar for Cattle Feeding
As there exists in France an
enormous over-sugar production
every effort continues to be made
to increase the consumption of
that commodity. The agricultur-
al society of one of the depart

of several towns a circular from
which Is made the following ex-
tracts: CONTRARY to what is gen.
orally believed sugar does heat

obstacle to assimilation it is a

VALLEY DITCH ASSOCIATION
Will Use State Appropriation for
Gathering Evidence In Water Suit

At meeting Of the Arkansas Valley
Ditch association in Pueblo last week it
was reported that one-thIrd of the
$4,000 appropriated by the last iegisla-
ture has been assigned to the fund Of fight
the Kansas Colorado suit. and that its
use is to be confined strictly to the gath
ering Of evidence. and no part Of it used
for attorneys fees. Many great volumes
of evidence have already been taken. and
the case is just fairly started.
1t was agreed by the association that
the various ditch companies of which it is
composed would be called upon to con-
tinue as they have for the past year to
supply the funds necessary for attorneys
fees in the Kansas-Colorado water suit.
The secretary Of the association was
instructed to call the attention Of the state
engineer to the fact that the Model Ditch
near Trinidad. stored 1000 acre feet Of
water during the past summer. and that
1000 feet Of this amount rightfully be-
longs to the Amity and Fort Lyon canals.

$1,000, 900 FOR STATE ROADS
Interior Department Recommends
that Land be Given Western States
to Help Build Good Roads

An Associated Press dispatch from
Washington On Wednesday reports as
follows:
The interior department in reporting
today on Senator Warren's bill to donate
100000 acres of public land to the
state of Wyoming, to be sold or leased
by the state to aid in the construction
and maintenance of public roads. indor-
sed the principle OF the bill and recon-
mended that as an experiment 100000
acres of land be donated to each of the
states of Wyoming. Colorado, Utah.
Arizona, Montana, Idaho. New Mexico
and Nevada.
The department recommends that the
land be sold at not less than 81 per acre.
which would give each OF the states
100000 for roads work. or If leased.
that rental be fixed which would give
the states an income equal to about 5
per cent of the value of the lands.
It is suggested that the administration
of the lands be placed in the hands of
the governors and land boards of the re-
speotive states, and the lands disposed
Of under regulations to be prescribed by
the interior department.
Bills similar to the Warren bill have
been introduced granting from 100000
to 100000 acres to their respective
states by Senators Shafroth. Colorado:
Smoot, Utah; Pittman. Nevada; Ashurst.
Arizona and Catron, New Mexico.

APPLE PICKING is ON
Jack Crowley and Other Orchardists

A visit to the Big Crowley orchard this
week reveals it to be one Of the busiest
places hereabouts. and Farmer Jack is in
his happy element bossing a big gang Of

With others of our orchardists Mr..

orders for Jonathans and Winssaps, until
on Tuesday he received a hurry-up order
for twelve carloads OF Gano and Ben
Davis apples. and his packers have since
been on the jump to fill this order in
record time.
AS the apple market is higher than it
has been for several years. and there is
a splendid crop of choice quality apples.

dard foods, and its usages for
many purposes will evidently take
a still further extension when it is
better understood. When sugar
enters in the ration of horse feed
there follows an increase in the
muscular force; it's evident in
fiuence is manifested when the
horse is called upon to pull ex-
cessisely heavy loads. When
used in quantities corresponding
to l to kilos per diem per head,
in measure it takes the place of
oats, and in years when oats are
expensive it forms an important
adjunct in the ration. Given to
milch COWS it increases the milk
secretions and the quantity of but
ter. Sugar helps in the fat forma-
ton and may be added to oil cakes
in the rations of cattle and sheep
being fattened. When added to
SKINNED milk in the proportion
of 30 to 40 grams per liter, the
milk may be fed under excellent
economic conditions to beeves
which are being fattened for the
market"
Sugar without doubt has most
important influence in assisting
the healing in the case of frac-
lures, and during. periods of con-
valescence of many internal dis
eases. AS special law allows
denatured sugar to be used to a
great advantage, numerous investi-
cations were made to determine
which was the most desirable sub
stance to be used for denaturating
purposes. Oil cakes in varied
forms are at present in vogue

Training School for Operators

Thirty years ago the telephone was
toy. Today more than three thousand
young women in the states Of Montana.
Wyoming. Colorado. Idaho. Utah. New
Mexico and Arizona make their living
operating the telephone exchanges for one
company, not to speak of the thousand
or so others who are employed in private
exchanges. The Mountain States Tele-
phone and Telegraph Company, which
operates in these states, maintains
training school for telephone operators
and the officials OF the company say that
the course fitting telephone operator for
her duties, is equal to the course Of study
in many schools for mental improvement.
The faculty of memory is very highly
trained and the faculty Of attention is de-
veloped in a telephone operator as in no
other occupation. The operators also
acquire fair knowledge of the electrical
apparatus used in the telephone circuits
and altogether develop powers of mind
far in advance of the society young
women whose hardest task is figuring up
bridge scores or compiling lists of fash
lonable calls.

Reasons Why Fruits Spoil

All abont US in ground, water. and air
are numberless little plants called
moulds, yeasts and bacteria. Most OF
them are only visible by aid Of micro
scope. Some of these little plants do
well in one kind Of soil or atmosphere
while others require environment of an
entirely different nature.
The souring of milk, the working OF
canned fruits, the decay of canned vege-
tables and meats, the change OF cider
into vinegar, ETC., are all due to the pre-
sence of certain of these plants.
The fkct that they are too small to be
seen as they pass through the air ex'
plains why so many people believe the
air itself causes the working of canned
goods.
1t has been found, however. that it is
possible to keep canned goods without
sealing in the usual manner by simply
filtering all the air which reaches them.
For example, take can Of peas. seal it
with a plug Of cotton instead Of the usual
lid, then heat it until all the germs are
killed and the vegetables will keep with
out spelling, because, while the air can
pass in and out of the jar, the plants
causing the damage are strained out.
Experiments of this kind have proved in
different laboratories that it is the inhab-
itants of the air and not the air itself
which causes decay.

The monthly meeting of the Board of
Education was held in the office in the
high school building on Thursday after
noon.
The State Teachers meeting will be
held in Pueblo, this year. instead of in
Denver. October "a, 25 and 26 are the
dates and a very attractive program has
been provided. The association now has
nineteen sections, including one for mem
bers Of school boards. and the meetings
are of much value to all who attend.
The prominent speakers who will ap-
pear on the programs in the meetings Of
the State Association are Henry Turner
Bailey of Massachusetts. Edward A..
Steiner of Iowa. w. C. Bagley Of illinois
and one or two men from departments at
Washington.
At the close of school on Wednesday
evening, Oct. !. we had enrolled in our
schools an even 100 more pupils than we
had at the close of the first month. Oct
4, one year ago. In the High School there
has been a slight decrease in numbers
be cause of the rate charged for tuition.
In one week we lost five desirable
students who felt unable to pay the five
dollars per month.
The following extract from the Session
Laws. Page 545. Chapter l42, will give
information regarding the new provision
for the payment of tuition by the districts
from which non resident students come:
Provided. further. that whenever any
pupil outside high school district desires
to attend high school within the county
where such pupil resides. or in an adjoin-
ing county. and such pupil shall possess
the necessary qualifications OF admit
tance thereto, the necessary tuition fees
charged for attendance of such pupil by
said high school shall be paid by the
school district IN which pupil re-
sides, up to two dollars and half per
month; provided. however, that no high
school be required hereunder to admit
pupils from another dstrio. at a less
charge per month than the average cost
per pupil for the previous year for that
high school; provided further, that the
board of directors of any district may pay
more than two dollars and half per
month but not exceeding the above men,
toned average cost.
Approved, April l5, 1918. at ll:4o
a. m. o'clock.
If the nonresident patrons will make
the effort. it should be possible for them
to induce the district boards to pay the
tuition for their children who are attend
ing the Rocky Ford high school.

TOP PRICE FOR
SUGAR BEETS
Will Be That Received for
the Present Crop
BEET SUGAR INDUSTRY
FEELS TARIFF CUT
Companies are Unloading This Years
Product as Fast as Possible
One Hnlf Already Sold

One-Hnlf Already Sold
Now that the tariff bill is actu-
ally on its way to become law
Democratic senators are begin
ming to suspect that the Sugar
Trust has put ono over on them,"
to- use slang phrase, but one
that seems to fit the situation.
AS long as there was question
about the removal of the duty on
sugar the cry was kept up that
tire sugar tariff helped the trust.
Now that free sugar is certainty
reports are beginning to crop out
that it will be worth from
s25,O0O,OOO to S5O,OOO,OOO a year
to the refining interest by driving
out American grown sugar, the
competition of which has kept
prices down and limited this profits
of the trust. The fact is Begin
ming to leak out that the refiners
themselves were behind the claim
that the trust proited by the
maintenance of sugar duties while
under the new tariff the trust and
its fellow refiners will get their
raw sugar cheaper and will get
rid of the home competition that
has cut largely into their profits
in recent years.
Two effects of the tariff change,
Awitn free sugar ahead, on the
maintenance and development OF
the state building beet sugar in
dustry in Colorado are already
sharply casting their shadows be-
fore.
One is that the beet sugar COM
panies will sell all the sugar they
can between now and March l,
when 81 cents per hundred of pro-
lection is booked to disappear
from the sugar schedule. Accord
ing to a telegram from New York
city it is reported that the Amer
lean Beet Sugar company has con-
tracted for the delivery of more
than half its product between now
and March l.
The other effect is that the dis
appearance of the 81 cents per
hundred Of protection is due to
reduce next seasons price of SUI
gar beets to the Colorado farmer
not less than so cents per ton.
This would be about IL per
cent reduction from the present
price.
This decrease in price of beets
to the farmer does not represent
the whole effect of the loss of 34
cents per hundred, but rests on a
division of the loss of gross pro-
ceeds between the factories and
the farmers.
e. g. Howe, general manager
of the American Beet Sugar COM
pany said to a Denver Times re-
porter on Saturday:
"The removal of 81 cents OF the
present duty on sugar will make a
difference of something over 81
per ton in the value of the beets;
l should say between 81 and Sl.25
per ton. On the assumption that
this difference be shared between
the farmer and the companies
beets would be not less than SO
cents ton lower next season,
though of course l do not pretend
to speak with defniteness on this
subject"
