Fruit Trees on Prairie.

Pueblo, Colo, Jan. 2S.-Agricultura
lesson in the possibilities of tree cub
ture on the barren plain from a man
who lived in obscurity for many years,
but has demonstrated his ideas. They
have found in south Washington coun-
ty, thirty miles from the nearest rail
road, ranch on which fruit and 9TH
er trees flourish in abundance in the
midst of what has been considered al
most desert
John c. Cope, who now is seventy
eight years old, came TO Colorado TWEEN
ty-seven years ago because of failing
health. He settled south of Seibert, on
the prairie. There was not a tree in
sight then, and he could see the I'M
broken plain for twenty-five miles. He
had always lived among trees and set
out to grow some
In setting out his trees he dug ditch
es, which caught and absorbed the rain
and so gave moisture to start the
growth. He had to get water from a
we'll and serve the little trees in dry
spells for two years, but after that
time he found it was not necessary.
He did not know the reason then, but
now it is well recognized fact that
there is a great underground flow of
water from the Rockies, and it appears
that Cope's trees sent roots down and
tapped it.
Mr.. Cope planted more than $4,000
trees, and of these about $4,000 have
lived Many of them are fruit bearers,
and their product has been found wOr-
thy of being taken the thirty miles to
the railroad. A son of this pioneer has
done some planting on a table land
where formerly only sagebrush grew,
and has had some success. The eX-
perience Of the two is to be told to
farmers throughout the dry belt, and it
is believed that the result will be a
large increase in the states fruit crop.

A Glance at Current Topics and Events

Topeka, Kan, Jan. PA new policy
of the state of Kansas to aid every
cfippled child at the states expense
will soon be put nj operation by the
state board Of health and the Kansas
University Medical school.
\ year ago the state completed the
building Of a hospital at ROsedale for
it's medical school. and ut that hos. ,ital
all cases Of any kind are treated free
by the state The university employs
some of the most Skillful surgeons in
the west for its medical work. and of
ten scientists from eastern states are
imported to assist in the medical school
work
The state offers to take any crippled
child of any citizen and give the child
the best treatment possible to cure it's
defect. but now it is proposed to make
the sending of crippled children com
pulSory either to the state hospital,
where the treatment will be free. or to
some other hospital where the parents
shall pay for the operation.
The proposed plan cOntempiates the
removal Of every defect in child that
science can remove and giving the
youngsters an equal chance with the
healthy boys and girls of their own
ages.
The boards of commissioners in each
county are to investigate the case of
every crippled boy or girl, congenital
or accidental and see that the crippled
one is sent to the hospital as fast as
the hospital can accommodate the pa
TENTS and the surgeons can do the nee
eSSary work.
The proposed compulsory plan was
evolved as result of the refusal of
several parents to allow their children
to be sent to the hospital. The state is
willing and anxious to do the work
now and promises the most skillful
| surgery in the west and the best care
that can he given.
