Purposes
Wherever ditch water is used Tor
drinking purposes. its use is always
attended with more or less danger
from typhoid fever and dysentery.
This risk can be considerably reduced
by treating the water with hypochlo-
rite oS lime or bleaching powder.
whidi can be purchased in one-pound
sealed packages from any drug store
for about twenty-five cents per
pound. Water in cisterms may be
treated as follows:
For 5000 gallons. place one ounce
OF the bleaching powder (so-called
"chlorid OF lime') in vessel con-
1aining approximately two gallons OF
water; stir rapidly for about one min
ute; allow it TO stand for five min
mites so that the insoluble part OF the
Emc will settle to the bottom; pour
The solution into the cistcrn contain
ing the ditch water. and by means OF
q long paddle stir vigorously so as 10
mix the hypochlorite OF lime thor
oighly with the water. After thirty
minutes. the water may be used.

CAMPAIGN
'''.'' ''''1F POSTPONED
Rocky Ford Factory Will
Open Next Monday
SUGAR BETS ARE
MATURING STEADILY
Outlook for Long and Most Profit
able Campaign Is Very Good .
Say the Experts

Owing to the fact that the great
mass of sugar beets in this vicin-
ity kept on growing and were test
ing better every day it was late
last week decided to postpone the
opening date of the Rocky Ford
sugar factory, but it is now
authoritatirely announced that
the factory campaign will begin
on Monday, Sept. 2S.
.s'Ihe sugar beet crop to date is
very satisfactory" said leading
agriculturist of the American Beet
Sugar Co. to The Enterprise re-
porter. According to the pres
ent indications this will be one of
the biggest beet harvests in the
history of the Arkansas Valley"
"'The falling off in acreage will
be more than made up by the in
crease in tonnage. 1t is estima-
ted that the yield for this year
will be fully ton more per acre
than last year"
The crop conditions are advanc-
ing about the same as last season
and the harvest will be on about
the same time. In every way the
crop is better and the prospects
are that the farmers will handle
as much revenue from the crop as
last year, even considering the
tariff reduction price. The crop
has been well cultivated, well ir-
rigated and the rainfall has been
timely.
When asked about the pros
poets for the industry for another
year the agriculturist said that if
the price of sugar remained where
it is now there was no question in
his mind but what the price could
be maintained so that the usual
crop would be planted.
The war conditions in Europe
are responsible for the present
high price of sugar. Those coun-
tries produce great proportion
Of the sugar consumed and with
teis supply cut off the price of su-
gar is bound to be high. 1t was
not expected that the cut in tariff
would reduce the price of sugar
but on the other hand it is newt
able that the cut in supply will in
crease the price.
The factory conditions Mt
Rocky Ford are in good shape
for the campaign. The manage
ment is looking forward to "A busy
season and all equipment is in tip
top shape for the opening OF the
beet slicing season.

ALFALFA and
THE DAIRY Cow
Is Now the Chief Topic of
Conversation
COOPERATIVE CREAMERY
MEETING TOMORROW
When It Is Expected That Necessary
Pledges VIII be Secured to As
sure Factory for This City

sure Factory for lhiS City
Because of the downpour on
Tuesday evening but few were
out. to the creamery meeting and
SO an official report from the COM
mittees who have been calling up
on the business men of Rocky
Ford and farmers of the surround
ing country regarding the project
of building large and modern
creamery in this city has not been
received. But The Enterprise
has it from good authority that
the project is meeting with much
encouragement especially amongst
the farmers, and there is every as
surance that at the creamery meet
ing called in the Otero Agricul-
tural clubrooms tomorrow after
noon the entire amount of stock
necessary to finance the PROPOSE
tion will be subscribed, and steps
will be taken to organize the local
company, procure factory grounds
and get to work upon the cream
cry.
Without doubt the Arkansas
Valley in Colorado is one of the
best alfalfa producing sections Of
the entire United States. Thou
sands of tons of this valuable pro-
duct is shipped annually into
other states where it Ends a ready
sale at high prices to be fed to
dairy COWS.
The farmers of Iowa and Illi-
nois buy much OF the Colorado al
falfa and willingly pay from SIS
to $50 per ton for it to feed to
their COWS because it is one OF the
best butter producing leeds
known.
Over four millions of dollars
worth of dairy products were ship
ped into Colorado last year and
much of these products come from
states where Colorado grown al
falfa is selling for from S1S to $50
per ton while the Ark ansas Valley
farmers only receive from s. to
SS per ton.
If this product is worth $50 per
ton in Iowa to feed to dairy COWS
there is no reason why it is not
worth as much right here in t lie
valley except that we have not be
COWS.
With splendid home mark, st
for every pound Of good butter " G
eau produce and with our facili :
ties for producing the best feed in:
the world, if there is any good
reason why the farmers of the Ar
kansas Valley should not go into
the dairy business We cannot find
it.
The, state of Iowa has more
than five hundred crea meli les in
operation and during the entire
year of 1918 the butter mad g was
sold at an average price of 81. 92
Tor nearly 34) cents per pou nd at
the factory. Not more than: 80
per cent of this butter waii butter
fat, the remainder beirlg mois ture
and salt, therefore the Iowa far
mers actually received nearly BIC
per pound net for their butter fat
for tie entire year.
This explains why they can af-
ford to pay $40 per ton for our al
falfa, but there is no reason in the
world why we should not manu-
facture this butter right here in
the valley and turn our alfalfa
hay into butter which, will surely
make it worth as mu ch per ton al
home as in any place, IN the Unit.
