breaches Radicalism.

That only one moral standard could
be maintained in any civilization was
the statement of Clinton N. Howard of
Tucson, Ariz., former candidate for
President of the United States on the
prohibition ticket. He spoke of ma
tional legislation, how smuggling,
slavery and other nationwide evils had
prophesied that the liquor traffic would
be legislated out of existence in a few
years, pointing to the fourteen states
IN the west and south which had gone
into the dry column already.
Arizona is the greatest state in the
Union, he declared. I'VE disfranchised
1000 foreigners because they were un-
able to read or write and we granted
the franchise to 1900 women. You peo-
pie here in Washington are too con-
become radicals. Conservative people
are not mentioned in history-it is al
ways the radicals.
I'm the next campaign we want to
get 100000 people to vote for prohibi-
tion. Friends, do you know that
science has outlawed liquor. They know
that out in Arizona. We are radical
out there. Let US do things because
there is reason for doing things"

CALL HILL MUST co
Farmers of Patterson Valley
District Wish to Eliminate Heavy
Grade on County Road

Property owners along the Patterson
Valley road about mile south of
Weitzer to the number of about twen-
ty passed through this city in autos on
Tuesday morning, bound for La Junta
to petition the county commissioners
that they be allowed to concentrate
the road work of that section upon the
Dave Call hill on the road line between
sections and 6.
1t was pointed out to the board that
this was the heaviest grade in the
county and it was causing great
hardship to the farmers in Patterson
Valley who were unable to haul much
more than half load to the Weitzer
beet dump because of this hill.
A good strong talk was put up to the
commissioners, who promised to visit
the hill some time this week.
When they do it is likely that the
petition will be allowed, especially in
view of the fact that the farmers in
terested are not asking for an appro-
priation, but simply want to unite their
usual road work upon the Call hill and
cut the roadway down to an easier
grade, using the material excavated to
fill in the gully to the south.

to July 20

Because of the fact that Ed Cantrill,
secretary of the National Letter
Carriers association, would not be able
to attend upon the date originally plan
ned for the annual district convention,
arrangements were perfected late last
week TO advance the date and the letter
carriers of this district which COM
prises the states of Utah. Wyoming,
Colorado, New Mexico and Arizona -
will meet in this city on July 26.
As at first arranged the convention
would have taken place during melon
time, and numbers of the letter carriers
had planned to take vacation and
visit the famous cantaloupe town. but
the district officials decided that it would
be better for the association to disap-
point the boys than to miss hearing
from the national secretary, so the
change was made as noted above.

STATE BANK MATTERS
Engage the Attention OF Receiver
Hall and Former DepOsitors of
the Defunct Institution

The approaching departure from this
city and state of G. M. Hall-which
was made public by The Enterprise
two weeks ago-revived interest in the
affairs of the old State Bank of Rocky
Ford, of which defunct institution Mr..
Hall has been the receiver, for it was
thought likely some settlement of
affairs would speedily be made.
With the end in view of learning how
matters stood The Enterprise inter
viewed Mr.. Hall and we are sorry to
inform our readers that much as it
would please the receiver there will be
no immediate settlement.
A few months ago the supreme court
reversed decision of the district court
and returned to the latter tribunal the
case of the State Bank Receiver VS..
Mrs. Emma Godding for retrial under
admitted it would be conniving felony
to take cognizance of the proyiso that
Banker Godding should be immune
from arrest when her interest in the
Godding home and the bank building
was turned over to the State Bank
creditors.
In place of entering an amended
complaint as directed, which would
likely keep the case dragging along in
the courts for several years the re-
ceiver has been trying to compromise
with Mrs. Godding so as to prevent
further litigation, but instead of $500
which is said to be very reasonable
valuation of the property that accord
ing to the conveyance made to X. M.
Pollock as trustee, which, shorn of the
proviso, was to be sold for the benefit of
the creditors the receive las been
offered 81, 500, and AS such a sop can
not be considered, the receiver believes
that settlement can not be agreed
upon and is making ready to prosecute
the suit for possession of the property
mentioned.
For some time Receiver Hall has had
sufficient funds to pay another small
dividend to the creditors, but he has
withheld payment in the hope that this
compromise could be affected and he
could make final settlement, but it
now looks like this money will have to
go the way of considerable more and
be spent in litigation.

WATER pROoeINd CEMENT
Agricultural College Professo or Gives
Some Simple Recipes

To Rocky Ford people whose cellars
are filled with water after every heavy
rain the following from Prof. E. B..
House of the Colorado Agricultural
College will be of timely interest:
Much has been written concerning
the water proofing of concrete, and num-
erous patented or secret preparations
are on the market for this purpose.
have tried out number of methods
for water proofing tanks, and find that
painting the inside with a mixture of
cement and water, so prepared as to be
about the consistency of thick paint,
serves the purpose very well. believe
that if this is carefully done and one or
two coats applied, the tank will be
water tight in every respect.
Again, very simple preparation, one
that has often been used, is mixture
of alum, water and lye. This is mixed
in about the following proportions: To
five pounds of alum, add two gallons of
water and one pound of lye; after this
has been allowed to stand for little
time it thickens and should then be
applied to the surface of the concrete
with brush, several coats being used.
| can recommend this as preparation
which will be serviceable for water
proofing concrete.

Both diseases cause serious losses in
the snap bean trade. Diseased pods are
unmarketable and must be sorted out. If
but few slightly spotted pods are pack
ed in basket, the disease may spread
during shipment. causing additional loss
and necessitating extra sorting before
the beans can be sold to the consumer.
In the seed bean trade all beans must be
hand-pcked to get out the discolored
diseased seeds. From IS to so per cert
of diseased beans are frequently sorted
out. involving heavy loss of beans as we'll
as the cost of sorting. Diseased beans
used for seed usually give poor stand
and result in the production of badly
diseased crop.
1t has been conclusively demonstrated
that anthracnose can be avoided by a
careful system of seed selection. Save
seed from perfectly healthy pods. select
ed with great care for entire absence of
spotting. Carefully keep them away from
diseased pods. shell by hand to avoid
reinfeotion. and plant on clean land. Pull
and burn any plants showing disease. BY
planting the seed thus secured enough
disease free seed can be secured to plant
the whole crop.
In the absence of such disease-free
seed ~ secure for planting, seed having
the least possible amount of disease, as
shown by actual examination; (2l all seed
should be handpioked and no seed show

planted ~ practice crop rotation. never

pick beans while wet with dew or rain,

spread from one part Of the field to an
other.
The bean blight is more difficult to con-
troll than anthracnose, but the same
methods will give the best results at

alone, for similar conditions obtain in
other bean growing sections. 1t is be-
coming more difficult each year to secure
bean seed free from one or both of these
diseases. In view of these facts. it is
highly important that the diseases be
more thoroughly recognized and that the
best available methods of control, some
OF which must be begun in the early cultl-

put into practice,
Bean anthraonose is caused by fun
gus which attacks the stems. leaves. pods
and seeds of the plants. On the stems
and leaf veins it causes elongated. sunken.
dark-red cankers, sometimes killing young
plants and often producing deformed and
yellowed leaves. Rounded or irregular
sunken spots, with Slightly raised rim
are produced on the pods. The spots
usually have pink oenters surrounded by
darker reddish border. In severe cases
the poos may be entirely covered by the
sores and produce no seed. In other cases
the fungus penetrates the pods and enters
the seed. causing dark. sunken specks or
spots. In these diseased seed as we'll as
in the refuse from diseased plants the
fungus is propagated from season to sea-
