Early Sunday morning the road WAS
lined with tesms end autos and psass-

of departed loved ones.
The grounds were beautiful, for no

At least five hundred people must have

GannIsOn baseball fans we're sstIr
early Sunday morning TO meet the
Crested Butte excursion which came
down abogt nine clock. loo strong with
the ball team from there who we're to
play the Doylevilie team on the GanBi-
son diamond. The game Was called
promptly at one clock and for several
innings was well played. but the Crest
ed Butte bstters began hitting the
Doyle twirler in the 4th inning and at
the end Of the 7th inning, the score be-
ina ls to in favor of the Battles.
Doyle gave gp the ghost and our local
tesm then played the victors. Crested
Butte found they were ap against q
good stiff game when the Reds came on
the diamond, and from the start to the
end of the ninth inning Vt was snybody's 8
game. At the end of the ninth inning
the score stood : to in favor of the
Crested Butte team, who thus carried
away two games in the same afternoon.
This Is the first game the Gunnison
Reds have lost this year. They hope to
play on the local diamond next Sunday
with Ohio City.
The base ball organization is planning
to arrange an excursion to Ouray on

UNDERTAKEN " nlnV

Two acres of corn ground has been
prepared by c. l.. Wilbur, who fgusss
that he can afford to take a chance on
some excellent feed, even if the corn
does not mature. A good many other
ranchmen are planning on experiment
of this kind, as well as nearly dozen
boys who have already secured seed in
the corn growing contest which the
News-Champion is assisting. 1t will be
fine thing If we discover that we can
grow ensilage corn on the mesas or flats
in our county, AMI there is little doubt
some tracts will be discovered where
this will be success.
We have on hand seed of three of the
best early maturing varieties known.
The Colorado Yellow Dent, 80 day
corn, Parsons High Altitude, which is
probably variety of the famous White
Australian, and Minnesota No. l3, also
a 80 day dent corn. The young folks
can try plot of one or all three varis-
ties. We have plenty of seed. This
next week, is the time to plant, al
though in cold spring like 1915, plant,
ing as late as the 18th, might ma.
good big stalks. 1t is astonishing how
corn will grow in warm weather.
The young folks must be sure to se-
lect well drained soil and have it ploWei
deeply. Give very little irrigation until
the corn is at least knee high. In very
sandy soil one must of course give a
light irrigation when the leaves turn
dark green and curl up badly, but as a
rule the mistake with corn in our cI-
mate, is too much water when it is
young. Cultivate. cultivate, cultivate
and let the roots hunt deep down for
water.
If you have not done so, make out
and send this coupon at once or bring D

U|Io STORM TlE
THINGS UP n SPOTS

The wind storm Monday evening was
brief but handed out stiff breeze for
some time. Besides ripping stray
branches off the cottonwoods around
town, it blew down the big tent at the
Normal and by tipping over the piano,
somewhat damaged that instrument.
North Of town the wind seems to have
reached tornado velocity and blew
down about forty telephone poles be-
tween Fred Anderson's and the Hyzer
ranch. Along the river whole grove
of cottonwoods was moved At the
Vidal ranch the wind blew down the old
log frame that has been standing so
long. 1t seems to have been the worst
tornado ever known in the valley, and
the wonder is that its path did not touch
more valuable property.
