The highest productivity of the land
then depends upon rotation which
means a greater or less diversified
tion of farming. There are very few
lands and very few crops which can
indefinitely be produced on the single
crop basis. Any locality which de-
pends for its survival solely upon a
single crop Is almost certain to suffer
disaster sooner or later. The main

depends upon diversity, which is bas-
ed upon rotation. The particular rota-

Most Formidable Foe Of Liolor Traffic

Most Formidable Foe Of Liquor Traffic
The surest sign of the impending
overthrow of the liquor traffic on this
continent is the aroused interest of the
whole church in the subject. Christ
animated men and women are daily
finding new ways of warning against
this enemy of society
Filling and firing all means and
methods is the Christ-passion. This
intense spirit is the really formidable
foe of intemperance. Methods may be
matched by methods, schemes by
schemes. The saloon has no adequate
power with which to meet the deep,
new purposes of the aroused Chris
tians who consider themselves the Wig
ilants of Christ; whose motive is 10y

tire state to commence a new era In
State Identification. His proclamation
is as follows:
Pursuant to law. l. Elias M. Am
mons, governor Of the State OF Colo
rado, hereby designate Friday. April
II, as Arbos day. School ohacers are
urged to prepare appropriate exercises
inspiring inthe children a love for
trees and shrubs and flowers and q
sentiment for the protection of birds.
Each householder should add some
attractive plant life to his yard or
grounds. and patriotic and civic organ
izations should begin planting trees
to beautify our highways.
Colorado needs more trees and a
better sentiment for the protection of
birds and flowers to lend charm and
beauty to forest and field. and sin
cere!y hope that not only systematic
plans for improvement may begin this
year, but that praiseworthy progress
may be reported to the state forester
Let US make this the commencement
of new and notable era In this line

Three steps to the southwest

There was no big rock in sight.
