New Apiary Inspection Law

The apiary inspection law passed
by the Nineteenth General Assembly
will take effect about August l, 1913.
The new law provides for the ap-
pointment of county inspectors by the
county commissioners upon petition
of Is beekeepers. The appointee is
then examined by the state entomo-
hlogist and if he proves competent is
issued /, license as apiary inspector.
All beekeepers should interest them
selves in the provision of this law
as It will prevent or at least mini
mize the spread of foul brood if en-
ergetically enforced in each county.
Write to Wesley Foster, State Api-
airy Inspector. Boulder. Colo. for full
particulars and suggestions on the
manner of carrying on the inspection
under the new law.
The law prohibits the spraying OF
1 fruit trees while in bloom. with any
spray injurious to bees.
The inspector is empowered TO or
ider the transfer of bees from box
hives or hives without immovable
combs.
1t is hoped the beekeepers will Sc
cure every aid possible from the op-
Grafton of this law.
BY getting your inspector appoint
ed examined. and license issued 10
him. he can begin work this season
and get considerable done before fall.

We also found that in projects that
have been completed and the charges
fixed upon the lands, that at will the
charges from time to time, and makes
them give up old contracts and sign
new ones after the project is complet-
ed just the same as they did with us
before ours was completed. And we
find those paying are remarkably an
xious to complete their payments be-
cause, they say, under the present con-
ditions there is no certainty of char
ges until they have paid out entirely.
My conviction is that we should
complete this contemplated work at
once, have the project turned over,
get release from any charges except
our local ones, get our prices fixed.
divide up our lands and sell off enough
to pay the water on what We hold and
get conditions settled as soon as pos
sible; that is the only thing that will
make US thrive.

Soil Textures and Irrigation.

Among the factors which govern the
time of irrigation of crops. the texture
OF the soil is perhaps one of the most
important. Very marked correlations
exist between the kind of soil. the
nature of the subsoil and time and
amount of application of water.
Light soils such as sandy loans
have as a rule, low water retentive
capacity. They dry out quickly and
in order to get best results it will be
necessary to irrigate more frequent
ly. The heavier soils in most instan-
ces have a large absorbtive and re-
tentive capacity. consequently appli-
cations may be at long intervals.
When the subsou is loose and por-
Gus. the retentive capacity of soils
will be greatly reduced and applica-
tions will have to be more frequent.
If the subsoil is tight and compact the
water will not seep through and the
irrigations need not be so frequent or
as heavy.
Even if soil texture largely governs
the time of application of water, it is
seldom that more than three appIica-
tions are given under a season. Most
irrigators find that two applications
usually suffice for most soils. when
water is supplied at the proper time
