7. R. PUTS WHITMAN
IN THE ANAN|AS CLUB
Produces Draft of Letter in Which
District Attorney Repudiated
Barnes.

OYSTER BAY. y. Y, July 16.-Theo-
dore Roosevelt last night made public
what purports to be the rough draft OF
a letter which he declared he was told
that Charles S. Whitman was prepared to
sign and issue in return for Mr. Roose-
velt's support in his candidacy for gov
mated Mr.. Whitman as member of the
tAnanias Club"
In the letter. the authenticity of which
Mr. Whitman has denied, the writer de-
clares that he is absolutely against Mr..
Barnes and all that he stands for in poll
tics. The letter says. in part:
I'm order, therefore, that there may be
no further doubt and so that I may dis
pose once and for all of the absurd
question that / am Barnes choice for
governor / will state that I am and al
ways have been absolutely against him
and all that he stands for in politics.
No Middle Ground.
There Is no middle ground and in the
coming fight this fall each voter of the
state is either for Mr.. Barnes or against
Mr.. Barnes, for Mr.. Murphy or against
Mr.. Murphy.
Il am against Mr.. Barnes and shall
oppose MT. barnes' am against MT.
Murphy and shall oppose Mr.. Murphy
both of them-to the bitter end. Decent
government in this state must be re-
stored
The letter is headed Rough draft
copy" and is signed by the initials
&c. {. W." 1t was stated that the initials
were not in Mr.. Whitman's handwriting
Mr.. Roosevelt's statement was made
following his return to Oyster Bay after
a busy day in New York city.
Charles H. Duell, jr., whom Mr.. Whit
man repudiated. saw Mr.. Roosevelt, the
latter said. after he left progressive ma
tional headquarters. The statement was
prepared on board William H. Childs
yacht. on which the return trip was
made. Mr.. Roosevelt, Mr. Childs, George
W. Perkins. Theodore Douglas Robinson

ALFALFA SEEDING
Should Depend Upon Termination
Test to Great Extent

II is often recommended that alfalfa
be seeded with twenty pounds of seed to
the acre in order to insure good stand
Of plants, yet experience of many farmers
seems to show that splendid results have
been secured from only seeding with ten
to twelve pounds of good seed.
1t is very evident that great deal de-
pends on how much OF the seed germin-
ates in either case to produce certain
results. and the question is how much
seed would give the best yields of hay. il
different rates Of seeding were tested in
comparison under uniform conditionsP In
order to test this point, as well as some
others. ten rates of seeding alfalfa were
made at Rocky Ford. on the Experiment
Station.
The lightest seeding was two pounds
per acre and then an increase up to
twenty pounds per acre. The seed was
sown under ideal conditions, on field
that was very uniform in all points Of
growing conditions.
The test was made in duplicate, one
series of ten different rates of seeding
with common alfalfa and another series of
ten plants OF Baltic alfalfa seeded at the
same time and in the same amounts per
plat.
The test was seeded in 1912. and the
first years records have been completed
on four cuttings Of hay during 1918.
As progress report, the results show
that there is very little difference in the
amount of hay in terms of tons per acre.
from the different rates or seeding. there
was some variation in the results on the
different crops. and the records should be
continued for several years before the
results will conclude what rate has given
the best results.
The thin rates of seeding made coarser
more stemmy hay. while the very thick
seedlings gave very fine leafy hay, almost
too fine to get the maximum yield of hay.
The thin stands were more weedy the
first season. and also the second. while
the thick seedlings. were almost free from
weeds the second year.
From indications it seems as il the
plants seeded with eight to ten pounds OF
seed per acre were the best, all points
considered.
. The general statement seems safe to
say that il conditions are good for ger
mination that ten to twelve pounds OF
good alfalfa seed should give satisfactory
results, and If conditions are not good,
twenty or even thirty pounds per acre
will not insure a stand.

SOME cONDENsERY FIGURES
Made by a Close Observer Of Dairy
Prospects in kiowa County

Over in Kiowa county the people have
taken the condensed milk fever and a
close observer has compiled mass OF
figures showing the dairy COW to be the
best and most reliable friend for the
homesteader in that county. In part the
article is herewith reproduced from the
Kiowa County Press as basis upon
which farmers of our fertile valley land
may do some figuring for themselves:
Il say let every place that can, get a
factory. There's plenty Of room for all,
and there will be a ready market for the
product. Before you all jump up and
say am crazy let US do little figuring:
Suppose we take / 5 acres of this land.
l o acres for pasture and S acres if pro-
COW can consume in twelve months and
il you had a cow for every II acres you
would have AZ COWS on section. NOW
take territory FIVE miles in every direc-
ton from your factory town, that is ten
miles square or 100 sections and you
would have 1900 COWS. Suppose those
COWS would produce an average OF two
gallons of milk per day for year it will
figure 4,8o0 lbs OF milk per year, per cow.
This 1900 lbs. of milk at Sl.so per
hundred figures about Ss6 per COW per
year. The 1900 COWS would bring the
neat sum of S56l 200 per year.
I Say, Mr.. Banker. how would you like
to have those deposits? And you mer-
chants. how would you like to handle
this money?
In the above forgot. on purpose. to
mention the value Of the calves, chickens.
eggs and the garden truck that could be
produced on these dairy farms.
Suppose we 60 a little further with
our figures. Kiowa county contains
about 300 sections of land. Now, sup
pose the county was stocked to only half
its capacity with dairy COWS. there would
still be about Sc 900 eAws in the county
at an average income of Ss6 per COW.
The annual income would figure up to the
! snug sum of s5,ose.ooo. Well, we

BRIGHT'S DISEASE
And How It May Be
Avoided

Diseases of the body organs usually
become established in connection with
their work. Overwork and abuse cause
large part of all organic disease. The
work of the kidneys is to carry out Of the
body its waste materials and whatever
poisons are present. .and under ordinary
conditions tine kidneys do this easily. 1t
is when these materials are in excess
that the kidneys frequently become over
taxed and injured.
Poisons of acute diseases are in large
measure eliminated by the kidneys, and
occasionally in this way. through their
loyalty to the body. they become diseased.
But large part of kidney disease is
brought about by everyday poisons. by
the posons and the large amount of waste
material which comes as the result of
overeating rich, indgestible foods. Coffee
is a real kidney poison and so is alcohol,
even in the small amount present in beer.
Tobacco in any form also injuries the
kidneys.
Our. kidneys. like all other organs. are
Rocky Ford enterprise., 1914-03-06

built to- last long time and to do tre-
mendous amount Of work, and in people
who live properly, they never wear out
ahead Of the rest of the body. Bright's
disease means simply worn-out kidneys.
1t takes years of overeating and other
bad habits to bring about this disease, for
it takes years to wear out the kidneys.
While this overwork is going on we may
suffer little or no inconvenience. The
kidneys are organs OF low sensibility.
They don't complain. They simply work
as long as they can and then they quit.
and it is when they quit that we know
there is something wrong.
This is why Brigrt's disease is insidious.
and why it is practically inourable. To
cure Bright's disease. you must begin
years before it becomes apparent. and re-
move and avoid its causes. You must
avoid overeating. You must avoid rich
food and alcoholic drinks. Don't use
coffee or tobacco. If you do this. you
will be practically certain to avoid Bright's
disease.

$50, TRADE
Alex Yant Gives His Fine Sixty-Acre
Farm for J. M. Gees Red Rock
Ranch and Stock

On Monday afternoon 900 trade
was consummated in this city between
Sheriff Yant and j. M. Gee, by which the
latter gets Mr.. Yants splendid 60-aore
farm property three miles south Of Rocky
Ford.
In the exchange Alex Yant assumed
possession of the Gee Red Rock ranch of
500 acres and fine bunch of cattle and
horses.
This big deal gives assurance that our
popular sheriff has no intention of quitting
the cowboy life even though he should
fill his present office as many terms as
his predecessor. which The Enterprise
hopes will be the case. as Alex is sure
making good as an officer. Instead oil
going out of the cattle business Mr.. Yant
will 60 extensively into the raising of
high grade cattle and horses. for which
his newly acquired property gives him a
fine range on the Purgatoire.

membership campaign which is to be
carried into every section of the state, 1t
is believed that the hope of carrying
through successfully any campaign which
may be inaugurated for better roads lies
in the strength of most representative
membership. Therefore every business
and professional man in the stete. as we'll
as every business house in Colorado will
be asked to become members of the

TEN THOUSAND PERSONS

Crowds This Week

o"sS hhhsS w WIN
That the Hart-Magann revival
campaign is accomplishing results
that are marvellous is attested by
the fact that with the close of the
first week of revival work proper
on Sunday afternoon the number
of converts had reached the mag
nificent total of 5S3 and by We'd
nesday night it had reached al
most 1000, an average Of 100 con-
versions for each of the first ten
days.
The most noteworth features of
the tabernacle campaign during
the past week have been the high
school meeting of last Friday
evening, the children's street par
ade on Saturday afternoon, the
meeting for men only on Sunday
afternoon, the junior choir service
on Monday evening and the splen-
did turnout of old veterans on
Tuesday night.
The service on Friday evening
called out the high school stud
ents in a body and they surely
filled the big tabernacle with
sound when they broke loose with
their school yells and songs.
Evangelist Hart had for his sub
iect Fools and he delivered a
most convincing address that
brought out 155 in response to the
invitation to come. forward.
For a couple of hours on Satur-
day afternoon our downtown
streets closely resembled circus
day, with the throng of excited
and happy children, gayly be-
decked vehicles and floats, the.
brass band, etc, that went to
make up the children's street par
ade. Sunday schools from Welt
zer, Patterson Valley, Grand Val
ley, Newdale and Holbrook were
represented and with the Rocky
Ford children made up a parade
that was more than mile in
length. Following the parade a
special children's meeting was
held in the tabernacle and about
$50 children were converted.
1t is estimated that fully ten
thousand persons attended the
services on Sunday. OF this num-
ber 900 were gathered in the
tabernacle during the three SER
vices, and the women's meeting in
the Presbyterian church, the Sum
day schools and young peoples
meetings brought the total atten-
dance up to 1000.
A memorable feature of Sum
days meetings was that over
81 900 was raised by popular sub
scriptions, which cared for all ex-
penses of the meetings, the ma
terial and building of the taber-
nacle, so that the signers of guar
antee pledges will not be called
upon to dig up" and regular col
lections will be dispensed with
during the remainder of the re-
viyal.
The body OF the big meeting
place was filled to its capacity on
Sunday afternoon to hear what
the evangelist had to say to men
only. Mr.. Hart took for his sub
ject Hot Shot" and as result of
the broadside 46 men were led to
answer the enlistment call.
On Sunday evening the evange-
list preached upon ''The IMAM
swerable Question" and this mas
terly sermon brought 10 con-
versions.
Monday evening the junior
choir was in evidence about four
hundred strong, despite the fact

Wiped Out by Flames
One of the very worst fires that
is recorded in the history of this
city occurred on Wednesday MORN
ing when the Kinney Cover block
on North Main sire et-one of our
most substantial and modern bus
mess buildings-was completely
destroyed. entailing a loss estima-
ted at fully $4,000.
From some unknown cause the
fire originated in the storeroom at
the rear of the Mankin & Maring
grocery, and when discovered by
Night Marshal Lane about 2:15
a. M, it was apparently but an
incipient blaze that could easily
be extinguished.
In response to an alarm turned
in by the marshal the fire depart
ment was promptly upon the scene
and lost no time in making hose
connections with the nearest hy-
drants, only to find themselves
rendered almost helpless by the
low water pressure caused by the
bursting of large water main on
South Twelfth street.
After seemingly interminable
wait the water pressure was slight
ly increased, but by this time the
flames had spread the entire
length of the store, had eaten
through to- the Offices upon the
second floor of the building and
had followed the joists over the in
tervening brick wall into Prices
dry goods store, which seemed to
burst into flame from one end to
the other within couple of Sec
onds, and the entire building be-
came a seething holocaust.
Realizing that it would be use
less to try and check the fire with
in the burning building the fire
department. with willing volun-
teer helpers ran line of hose to
the roofs of the adjoining build
ings on either side and with the
small streams of water at their
disposal prepared to fight the
spread of the flames beyond the
fire walls-an apparently forlorn
hope, as the flames were leaping
high above the walls and carrying
barning embers in every direction.
So hopeless appeared the battle
against the fire fiend that DIR.
Fenton, Hardey's and Fl. G.
Morse to the south and Van
Skike and Henry Funk upon the
north, together with the second
floor occupants of the buildings
began to remove their stocks and
belongings'to places of safety and
before there was any assurance
that the fire was under control
which did not come for fully two
hours-most Of the threatened
stocks and office fixtures had been
removed beyond the fire zone.
1t was a. m. before the cheer
ing information was spread that
the untiring efforts Of the fire de-
partment had been crowned by
success and the fire would be con-
fined within the fire walls of the
burned building, and with the
cold grey dawn of Wednesday an
army of citizens began the task Of
returning to its former habitation
the goods that they had helped to
remove, and the owners thereof
began to foot up the damages re-
ceived in their hasty fitting.
Probably the heaviest loser from
this source was the Fenton Drug
Co., whose loss is estimated at
over $1,000.

Fine Showing Of YankeesAgainst Brooklyn Encourages N. Y.
 Manager

Manager Frank Chance refused to expose the Yankees to the damp, cold atmosphere of Jersey City yesterday, and a large crowd was disappointed when the game was called off at West Side Park. The team will play Brooklyn again at Ebbets Field to- morrow. In taking two games out of three from the Dodgers the team showed that it has taken new lease of life and is sure to fare much bet ter in this years peTlnant race.
 One thing is very evident, the play CTS are in much better physical trim than they were last season after the training trip to Bermuda. The pitch CTS are all we'll advanced, and with a little warm weather will give a good account of themselves. Chance is try ing to land a. second baseman. and will purchase an experienced man if it is possible to get one. He is also on the lookout for another catcher.
 Chance expects much from King Cole, and thinks thes 1anky pitcher is just as good as he was when he was at his best with the Cubs. If the Peerless Leader is able to strengthen the weak spots in the team as he now plans to do the Yankees will be h1rt- ing with place in the first division
