done Immediately before seeding gives
the crop the start of them. Flowing
is considered the most effective meth
cd of cultivation for destroying weeds.
Early fall plowing effectively des
troys weeds which use the early fall
precipitation, but it does not leave the
land in condition to retain the snow in
winter and it gives the weeds an op-
portunity to start before the crop.
Spring blowing leaves the stubble to
retain snow and reduces the number
of weeds in the growing crop, but it
does not prevent the loss of moisture
by weed growth in the fall. The ideal
cultivation, therefore, would be to pre-
vent weed growth in the fall, leave the
land in such a condition that it would
retain the maximum of snow in the
winter and retard the termination of
weed seed until the crop starts in the
spring. In deciding the time of piow-
Ing the advantages and disadvantages
of both spring and fall plowing must
be taken into consideration and can
best be decided by the man on the
ground.

suits from six years experiments and

The blind following Of rule pre-

In climate in which the precipnta-

States Department of Agriculture

Nevertheless, the time of plowing is.
according to the Departments special
lists, one of the most important OF the
controllable factors of crop production
The great variation in the time and
amount of precipitation is the impor-
tant climate characteristic of this re-
gion of eastern Colorado that must be

precipitation in August or September,
Net it frequently occurs, and when it
does, the farmer should Immediately
take steps to conserve it.
Weeds are very important rector
in that they take from the soil large
amounts of water and for this reason
they should be destroyed as soon as
possible after the occurrence OF rains
However, precipitation that comes
after the weeds have been killed by
frost in the fall is we'll stored by soil
covered with dead weeds as by turned

The land which was spring plowed
in the series of experiments usually
showed greater increase in mois-

the soil which was plowed in the fall.
This was accounted for by the snow
which was held in the stubble on the

ued for the future.
Given the history of our transpor-
tation and highway systems and the
enormous cost Of adjusting them to
modern conditions, the elimination of
grade crossings is and in the very
nature of the problem must be grad
ual development with the growth Of
population and wealth, but, meanwhile,
good Judgment on the part of all con-
cerned can do much to anticipate the
benefits of the admittedly desirable
expenditure of large sums of money.
The same sober sense of responsible
ity for life on the part of automobile
drivers which actuates most locomo-
tive engineers, and in addition the
willingness of the automobile driver in
such high interest to subordinate
his time and convenience to that of
the greater number represented by a
railroad train, can check q waste OF
life and limb and property which is
now increasing every year.
"To this end appeal confidently for
the counsel of every responsible man
and woman in the South, whether or
not he or she drives an automobile.

"Without seeking to avoid just re-

employees Of the railroad do or omit,
but recalling that railroad employee
whose carelessness causes an acci-
dent Is, in the public interest, subject
to discipline which affects his liveli-
hood. it is probably fair to say that
Ia large proportion Of these accidents
happened solely through the careless
ness of the drivers of automobiles,
or their lack Of experience in dealing
with vehicles at high speed. There
are among them also well authenticat-
ed cases OF deliberate assumption of
risk by the drivers Of automobiles
from pure love OF excitement and
speed, evidenced by racing with trains
and seeking the thrill of a narrow es-
cape. Our enginemen report such oc-

are without fatal consequences in the
great majority of cases, they are al
ways paid for by heavy strain on
the nerves Of all concerned, particu-
llarly those Of the locomotive engineer,
who maintains speed from duty and
not for fun. 1t is not too much to
claim for the locomotive engineer a
larger equipment Of experience and a
greater habit of precaution than the

The latest achievement of this boat which is now being considered as the successor to the German attleship MOltke which was sunk yesterday, is the carrying of eighteen of the cm- plOyes and friends of the Spring & Buckley company of this city on it's annual outing yesterday.
 Despite the terrific storm encOun- tered by the party the good old yacht acted in her usual good behavior, and with Captain Jahnson at the wheel no cause for alarm was manifested.
