Live Weekly rlagazine

Colorado has live up-to-date weekly
magazine of comment and commend
alton with an occasional dash of cond-
emnation." While the business Office
of the new journal is in Denver, it is
statewide in its scope-in fact will
devote far more of its space to the con-
structive doing outside of Denver than
to matters connected with that city.
Fred r. Marvin and Arthur A. Park
hurst are the editors and publishers of
the journal, which is called 1.-The Colo
radoan."
The new magazine, which is a "a real
hummer" made its initial appearance
last Friday, and will continue to inter-
est and entertain its readers every
Friday thereafter.
The magazine will be printed from
the press of the Boulder Morning News,
which paper is owned by Messrs. Park
hurst and Marvin.

THE CHINCH-BUG PEST

more perpendicular and the bottom
smoother. The bugs will then follow
along the bottom instead of trying TO
climb out of the furrow, and if holes
are dug at intervals of 80 or 40 feet
the pests will fall into them and can
be killed by kerosene. The coal-tar is
probably preferable to the furrow ex-
cept in cases of excessively dry,
windy weather.
The necessity of these precautions
is shown by the fact that on one farm
of $50 acres a coar-tar line 90 rods in
length resulted in the death of gal
Ions of chinch bugs. In another case
800 yards OF tar lines with their ac-
companying post holes yielded har-
vest of 10 bushels. and at one point
on the line a 6-gallon jar was filled
with the pests in less than half day
The seriousness of the plague, how
ever. varies greatly from year to year
chiefly on account OF the weather
conditions. AS has already been
pointed out, heavy rains at the hatch
ing season will greatly reduce the
numbers of the bugs. When such
rains come, therefore, it makes COM
paratively little difference how many
OF the adult bugs have wintered in the
neighborhood; there will be very few
left to attack the crops. On the other
hand, a succession of dry seasons
may bring forth a dcvasting horde
that will cause the farmer irreparablc
loss. In 1864. for example. which was
an especially bad year. it was esti-
mated that throughout the large
areas thrcc-fourths of the wheat and
one-half of the corn crop was de-
stroycd, the total loss amounting to
about 100000 bushels of wheat and
l3S,000.000 bushels OF corn.
Wet weather is instrumental in
keeping down the pest in another
way, for it promotes the growth OF
fungus disease, which is one of the
principal natural enemies of the
chinch bug. One fungus. known as
the chinch-bug fungus, is frequently
artificially introduced into localities
where there is an overabundance OF
the bugs, and in wet weather unques-
tionably does much to keep down the
pest.
Another enemy is the bobwhite or
quail which more than any other bird
feeds upon the bug. Unfortunately.
the quail is slaughtered in large num-
bers as game bird and its usefulness
is therefore much impaired. With a
better appreciation OF its services, it is
probable that more efficient protec-
tive laws will be passed in states
where the chinch bug is ia serious
evil.

ALFALFA MILLS
VIII Be Located on American Beet
Sugar Co. Farms

The output of alfalfa meal from this
section of the Arkansas valley will be
materially increased this year, accord
ing to the report of Superintendent
johnson of the Arkansas Valley Rail-
way, Light and Power Co., who is al
most daily booking orders from the meal
mills for larger motors to operate the
plants at greatly increased capacity.
In addition to these already establish
ed mills the A. B. S. Co. has decided
to prepare the rations for their herds,
and so will install several alfalfa meal
mills on their farms hereabouts, and on
Tuesday Chief Chemist Herman Zit-
kowski, Superintendent Frank Noble,
Master Mechanic William Park and
Head Millwright Steve Kelso were out
locating the most convenient sites for
the plants.
The alfalfa crop in this section looks
exceedingly good, according to experts,
who predict that this will be the banner
year in this commodity.

Gas for Rocky Ford Soon

Work was commenced last Wednesday
morning on the work OF digging the trench
for the gas main that will provide Rocky
Ford with supply of gas. 1t is expected
that the laying of the pipe line will be
completed and that the local plant will
be ready to furnish a supply of gas for
Swink and Rocky Ford not later than
August lst. The local plant is now being
enlarged by building an addition on the
east and north side to provide room for
another boiler. pressure tank Of 10000
cubic feet capacity, and whatever other
equipment is necessary. When somplet-
ed. the local plant will be one of the
most compact and best equipped gas
plants in the state. Two pressure tanks
each one of 10000 cubic feet capacity
will be installed at Rocky Ford.
The pipe line from the gas plant is
being laid on the north side OF Fifth
street to the street adjoining R. G. Dali
toms residence on the east. thence north
to the county road, and thence west
to the subway and along the county road
to Swink and Rocky Ford. P. W. Croll,
of Pueblo. is digging the trench with
machine. which under favorable condi-
tons will dig d mile of trench a day.
The two-inch pipe line is being laid as
the work of digging the trench progresses.
On account of the rain Thursday after
noon the machine was put out Of business,
or the work of laying the gas mains as
far as the subway would have been COM
pleted. You will find it an interesting
sight watching this machine work.-La

on Wednesday for Rawlins, Wyo.,
where he has accepted an important
position with the Mountain States Tel
ephone and Telegraph Co. Mr.. Smith
was the most popular manager that
has ever had charge of the local branch,
and has host of friends in this city
who will be sorry to learn of his de-
parture but pleased to hear that his
merit has been recognized by promo
tion.
To take his place Winthrop Page has
been promoted from the Fowler ex-
change, and he assumed charge the
first of the week.

TENANTS RUNNING FARMS
Expert Says Longer Leases Are
Necessary to Insure Long Life
and Fertility to Land

Upon request of an Enterprise
subscriber, who is himself rent
er and consistent booster for the
Arkansas valley, we herewith re-
produce an Associated Press dis
patch that will be found interest
ing to our farmer readers.
Commenting upon the item our
subscriber says: 'The great mai
ority of short term tenants of Ar
kansas valley farms try to take all
out of the ground that they possi-
bly, can, and tho l and some like
me try to leave the land in better
shape than we get it we could
make more money for ourselves
and at the same time increase tine
fertility of the soil if we had
leases for five years or nore."
Here is the dispatch:
Chicago. July 8.-Rioh lands are being
robbed of their proper productive value
under the present tenant leasing system
as applied thruout the nation. Henry
Wallace Of Des Moines. Iowa, editor Of a
farming Journal. told delegates attending
the Banker-Farmer conference here to-
day.
Quick changes in the present system
are necessary. Wallace said. If the lands
are to have permanent value and if the
country is to have rural civilization that
will insure permanent prosperity Of the
United States.
Conservation Of the soil can be brought
about, he said. thru long time leases FIVE
years or more. He asserted that ten
ant, when he has no assurance of more
than one year tenure, takes all out Of
the land that he can get and gives it up
without maintaining soil fertility.

Our Farmers
WHILE VISITING OLD

A. r. McAdoo, Cousin of Secretary of
the Treasury, Says Other Crops
VIII Recompense the Growers

A. r. McAdoo, for many years the
successful sales manager for the Tu-
ron Mill and Elevator company OF
Hutchinson, Kan, but about twenty
years ago engaged in the grocery
business in Rocky Ford, and previous
to that cowboy in the Arkansas val
ley, spent the first of the week visit
ing his old haunts and looking up old
time friends in this city
Mr.. McAdoo is a cousin of Secre-
tary McAdoo of the United States
treasury, but he says: please do not
mix me up with my illustrious cous-
in, because | am a Republican, and a
strong adherent of that grand old par
ty. At the same time lam an ardent
admircr of President Wilson and his
policies. l believe that Mr.. Wilson

crisis in most able and diplomatic

that the wheat growers of the couh-
try are going to be wei! rewarded for

The Pueblo Chieftain thus rerorts
upon this gentlcman's visit: Twenty
years ago Mr.. McAdoo was engaged
in the mercantile business in Rocky
Ford. Before that as a young man,
he rode as cowboy through the Ar
kansas valley, and stated as he view
cd Pueblo from an auto that it was
hard to realize that where now is
great city he once roped cattle, chas-
ed coyotes and shot jackrabbits.

city here" said Mr.. McAdoo, and Pu-
cblo has future that is bound to be
realized by the east. Colorado has
mineral wealth, can produce superior
fruit, melons, sugar beets, potatoes.

barley and the Lord knows what, but
the advice of an old wheat and mill
man is-kcep off OF wheat.
In answer to an inquiry as TO Colo
RADIO as wheat growing state. MIR.
McAdoo said, after a brief hcsitancy.
that he would not advise the farmers
OF Colorado to go into wheat raising.
Don't misunderstood me- said Mr..
McAdoo. Wheat can be raised i'll
Colorado, but climatic conditions pre-
vent it from coming to til: best stani-
ards OF the wheat bells farther east.
Your hard whca: cannot ''r raised to
marketable advantage, AMI your soft
wheat crops will prove short. Don't
let that discourage the farmers OF
Colorado, however. There are other
resources from the soil that will fully
recompense all who take up farming
in this glorious state. Honestly, tho,
my advice would be to discourage the
raising of wheat in Colorado. and |
speak as man representing great
milling interests"

OPEN AIR CHORUS
In Which You Are Invited to Take
Part at the High School Next
Monday Evening

The community in general is cor
daily invited to attend and take part
in meeting at the library on
Monday evening at 8 O'Clock, in
which chorus singing will be the
feature of the evening. 1t is the
purpose to use for the most part
such songs as are familiar, and any
who enjoy singing are especially
urged to be present and take part.
Arrangements have been made
for song books, and accompaniment
of piano and other Instruments. A
selected chorus will render a speci-
ally prepared selection.
Those who do not care to sing are
cordially invited to attend and hear
some of the good old songs again.
Bring your chautauqua cushions and
be comfortable.
Rocky Ford enterprise., 1915-07-16

Thru the initiative of Leroy B.
Elser and the active assistance of
several music lovers the idea of
having a community chorus to
help while away the hot summer
evenings--that has been under
discussion for several weeks-this
week has become more than a
mooted idea, as the above general
invitation will show.
Everybody to whom the idea
has been advanced gave hearty
endorsement to the plan and the
only drawback has been that of a
suitable place to hold the open air
meetings. This has been over
come-The Enterprise is pleased
to report-by securing the use
of Library park and grounds for
the meetings, and a more ideal
place for the purpose could scarce
ly be found.
Upon the library portico there
is ample room for piano and
other musical instruments and on
the stair landing may be grouped
ali the choirsters that are likely
to take part, while the stone steps
and wide walks will give seating
capacity for an audience of several
hundred, and the sylvan glade of
park will prove attractive to the
great majority.
The idea of Willing away an
evening hour with the singing of
folk songs, popular choruses and
the like is most commendable and
The Enterprise believes that the
community at large will take this
opportunity of hearing and tax
ing part In the open air chorus OF
next Monday evening when it will
be determined whether these
meetings will be made weekly
occurrence thruout the summer.
