PRAY AND SPRAY
Rev. 6. 4. Remington

Not the picking but the pruning
time is the time to insure a good
good crop OF fruit. And let us re-
member that praying is no less i'm
portant than pruning and spray
in this matter. Now is the pruning
time. and now is the time to pray
the Lord of the Harvest for good re
turns. This is the time also when is
| celebrated the ascension OF our Lord
to Heaven in accordance with the
long custom OF the Christian church
Next Thursday is Ascension Day, and
the days before Ascension Day have
always been observed in the church
as Rogation Days. or Days of Prayer
for the harvest.
That is because the physical and
the spiritual needs of men are in
separable. and because the Lord
Heaven is also the Lord OF the Har-
vest It is the same Lord who pro-
vides for the soul as well as for the
body. There is one Lord In Heaven
and on earth and one need and that
one need, including both our spirit
ual and physical nature. Is our need
Of God. And God can and will supply
the need OF all who ask
Then at this season OF the Hea-
venly ascension OF our Lord let us
not forget to pray for the satisfac-
tion OF our physical needs. The phys
ical and the spiritual exercise shown
in spraying and praying are together
sacrament or pledge and means
o: the complete satisfaction OF our
needs.
Then II any one in this community
thinks he needs a good crop OF frus,
he is invited by the rector of Chris,
Church to Join with him and othe
of his church In prayer for n good
harvest at 1880 a, m. In the Episcopal
church Tuesday. Wednesday an
Thursday mornings.
Let us pray and spray and then
be satisfied.

NO TRAINS FROM
DENVER ON MONDAY

Heavy rains in the mountains be-
tween Pueblo and Colorado Springs
late Sunday night washed out both
the Denver & Rio Grande and the
Santa Fe railroad tracks, and in con
sequence Canon City has been with
out mail of any kind from Denver
today.
1t was reported here this morning
that the Rio Grande roadbed was
washed out in one place for a dis
tance Of 1900 feet and that 1t was
greatly weakened at other places.
but how much OF truth there is to
the rumor cannot be ascertained.
The rain in some sections between
Pueblo and the Springs is said to
have assumed the proportions Of ?
deluge and the iowlands were every
where flooded with water from a few
inches to several feet in depth. The
Rio Grande appears to have suffered
greater damage than the Santa Fe
Mr.. Eads. local agent for the Rio
Grande. is expecting a train to a

WILL BUY STOCK
RANCHES IN COLORADO

Three young men from central I'LL
nois. Messrs Davlin, Rooney and
Rice. who have been staying at the
Hiatt home on River street for the
last six months. are each planning
to purchase a half section OF land in
southeastern Colorado and engage
IL the stock raising business. They
will leave Canon City on Sunday for
Pueblo and from there will go b
automobile to La Junta- They are
greatly interested in this state and
are confident that It has a bright fu.
ture as a stock growing section.
They say Colorado is a veritabie
heaven so far as climatic conditions
are concerned when compared with
the Mississippi valley.
Since coming here they have en-
joyed themselves and found the peo
pie Of the community courteous and
sociable. They say the natural seen
cry Of the surroundings is unsurpass-
ed and is destined to attract many
tourists from the east. Had they
known that the climate was 30 agr'
able and the people so pleasant in
the west they would have come her
years ago. They say that In con
sideration of the splendid treatment
they received in Canon City they win
make many return visits here.

WOOL GROWERS
URGE LEGISLATION

AS a result of the sheep and
wool conference held recently in
Washin gton growers and manu-
facturers are urging a Federel
bounty system as means to ex-
terminate predatory animals on
western ranges, the enactment
of State laws to control dogs in
farm States, the Standardization
of wool by the Department of
Agriculture, the establishment
of Government sheep-breeding
farms to determine the breeds of
sheep best adapted to various
conditions and the creation of
wool colleges for the promotion
of more scientific methods in
wool production.
In the report addressed TO the
Secretary of Agriculture by a
committee appointed for the
purpose, it is pointed out that
the sheep industry of the United
States is now valued at approx
mately $23o,ooo,ooo, but that
unfavorable conditions are caus-
ing the supply of sheep to de-
crease rapidly. The conference
was called by the Secretary in
order to consider the problems
presented by this situation.
The committee presents its
conclusions in part as follows:
A careful estimate in dicates
that approximately $I5,ooo,ooo
worth of poultry and live stock
are annually destroyed in this
country by the predatory wild
animals. In the Western States,
on which most of this burden
falls, the great percentage of
these predatory ANIMALS are bred
and raised on land properly
withdrawn from settlement by
the Federal Government. Under
such conditions those interested
i'm our animal husbandry feel
that the Nation should assume
its share of this burden through
system of national bounties.
In the farming States thous-
ands of sheep are annually de-:
stroyed by dogs, and this menace
keeps many farmers from TAX
ing up sheep husbandry, thus re-
ducing the nations supply of

and avoids it. Mr.. Smith knows
his road, knows the capacity of
the country, knows when to buy
and when to build. Now, if he
were president of a road three
times as big, in the very nature
of things he could not give that
attention to the enormous line
that he does to the Louisville &
Nashville system.
What this man might have
done with the Rock Island, with
its big mileage, or with the Mis-
souri, Pacific, would have been
interesting. He would have
done the very best any man
could have done with them, but
the mileage of these roads are
such that no human mind can
grasp the details of their oper-
alton.
The United States Steel Com
pany is a colossal corporation,
yet in the steel hearing itself it
was admitted that some of the
smaller and independent COM
panies were able to produce steel
and steel products more cheaply
than the big corporation, and
could sell under it and make
profit.
Standard Oil was big nation
wide trust. 1t made an enor-
nous amount of money. When
Standard Oil was cut into a half
dozen separate companies the
combined profits of these COM
panies were greater than the
profits of the parent company
out of which they were cut.
The American Tobacco Com
pany broke into groups, and
these groups are earning more
now than did the consolidated
company.
Business when it becomes
enormously big seems to get just
like an overgrown boy or an
overgrown man. 1t is imposing
just as a big man is imposing,
but it is more effective as against
a well managed normal sized
business than is the giant
against the man of normal size.
The Mt. Sterling advocate. (Mt. Sterling, Ky.) 1890-current, 1914-07-08

meat and wool. There is a press
ing need for better legislation on
this subject in many of the
States, and we respectfully sug-
gest that the Department of
Agriculture could materially as
sist in securing such legislation
by giving this movement its
moral support in every way
possible.
AT the present time we have
in the United States no general
ly accepted standards for the de
termination of the various grades
of wool. This lack of standardized
ton makes it impossible for the
woolgrower to know what grade
of wool he is producing or the
value of it in the market. we APP
preciate the most useful work
done by the Department of Ag-
riculture in the Standardization
of cotton and we urgently petit
ton that at the earliest possible
moment your department will
take up the matter of standard
izing wool.
Woolgrowing is a science that
requires not only the sound judg-
ment of practical breeders, but
the technical knowledge possess
ed by the trained expert. We
therefore appreciate that under
present conditions there is i'm
mediate need for the establish
ment of Government sheep
breeding farms, one of which
shall be located in the inter
mountain States and another in
the central part of the United
States, where, under supervis-
ion of experts, experiments may
be conducted to determine what
type of sheep produces the most
desirable quality of wool and is
best adapted to the conditions
existing in the various parts of
the territory concerned. In con-
nection with this the Govern
ment breeding farm, we would
urge the maintenance of wool
college where a short course in
wool, woolgrowing, and sheep
breeding would be available to
those connected with our sheep
industry. The urgent need of
such institutions leads US to ask
that every effort be made to es-
tablish them in the near future.

WHERE BUSINESS
GETS TOO BIG

The failure of the Chahin
group of wholesale dry goods
corporations is another sugges-
ton that a concern may get so
. big that its efficiency decreases
in proportion to its size.
Some time ago the CONNER
cial Appeal made this point in
discussing a certain great rail
way system which formerly in
the units composing it was
profitable. But when the units
were thrown together and made
one great system the expense of
operation grew and combined
business did not grow.
There is a point where a bust
ness can reach in safety, and be-
You'd that point busin ess can be
too big for the attention of those
controlling it.
I After a time a fixed basis will
a be established where it will not
be regarded as safe to make it
larger than that point where the
ability of one man or one group
of men to give it personal atten-
ton ceases.
The busin ess in which the
Chaflin companies were interest
ed required infinite attention to
detail The turnover is big and
the margin of profit is not great.
If there is an extravaganza or an
unnecessary expense the long
duration of either will be hurt
full.
A compact railway system is
a good illustration of the point
we are making. Where the
chief operating officials can get
over his lines every two months,
give attention to the terminals,
devote time to every proposed
improvement, look carefully in
to new contracts which involve
an increase in fixed charges, the
chance for leaks is eliminated.
Milton H. Smith will go down
in history as most competent
and successful railway president.
Mr.. Smith is familiar with every
mile of the Louisville and Nash
vile railroad. He knows the
country so miles on either side
of its tracks. He knows exactly
the track room he has In New
Orleans, how much in Memphis
and how much in Birmingham.
He is far-seeing and it will be
found that his road in most ev-
southern city t touches has
all the advantages for the hand
ling of freight.
He sees prospective waste
