Impure seed does not necessarily
mean seed which has been willfully
adulterated. Don't think just because
you grew the seed yourself and did not
put any weed seeds into it that 1t Is
any better than that which you might
buy. If you or your neighbors allow
weeds to flourish, there are chances
that your seed will bear large pro
portion of weed seed.
Weed RemedieA
The problem is how to get rid OF
weeds and keep them out.
First, rotate the crops; screen all
seed; cultivate frequently and thor
oughly; cut the weeds before they GO
to seed, use smother crops; pasture
with sheep; and finally keep everlast'
ingly after them.
If your wheat field is weedy, seed il
to clover and blue grass; NOW the an
nuals and biennials before they seed
pasture with sheep or hogs to KEEP
down the perennials; follow by cult
waited crop to kill any lingering weeds,
and you will have disposed of most
varieties.
Rotate, Pasture, Cultivate.
Avoid sowing weed seed. Fan and
grade all seed.
Prevent leaves forming. Cut just
under the crown and repeat the opera
ton as often as the leaves appear
Plants cannot live long in the growing
season unless the leaves develop. II
no leaves are allowed TO form, the
plant root will starve.
Generally in dealing with biennlhis
it is necessary to cut below the crown

Reports are out concerning a won

the twelfth level of the Cresson mine

Several of the heavy producing
mines of Leadville are delayed in their
ore shipments on account of the short
age of railway cars.
A number of Gunniso1 county citi-

Indications OF considerable activity
IN the Cripple Creek district are
shown in reports from some OF the
smaller companies operating there.
Assayers at Silverton are working
night and day on the assays Of ore

busy in that mining territory during
the past summer.
OIL men in Denver are excited over
the news that the largest and most

light in western Colorado.
Word comes from Colorado Springs
that at meeting of the board Of d.

An unexplained market for radium
ores has developed in the East, with

or the plant will quickly send fortt
new shoots and perhaps seed close tc
the ground, where ordinary moving
will not reach it.
If cut of the first year, the root i.
not so deep, is more tender, more
easily cut and more easily killed. II
prevented from seeding, sometimes bi
ennials will appear the third year
Watch for such sprouts.
Cut Before FIowerino.
Another point which may mark the
difference between success and failure
in your weed campaign is to cut just
before Towering. While the plant is
growing it is storing away vitality to-
ward the time when it shall need it for
fruit production. When it begins to
produce fruit, it draws -on this surplus
stock. When it has budded it has used
large part of this stored vitality and
is weaker than at any other time e1.
cept when it is very young. Now is the
time to cut. The seeds will not be
formed enough to live on to maturity,
the plant is at it's weakest and is more
readily killed. If in addition, the
"Sulhei 10 uol uuu ury, II Is pEdCIlCiiiy
certain the root will die.
If you wait until it blossoms, some
of the seed may mature enough tc
ripen even after the plant is cut down
and some seed will scatter for next
years weed crop. II after cutting the
seed seems to be mature enough to
ripen, the only safe way is to rake the
weeds together and burn them. Some
times seed which seems to be green
will mature after it is plowed under.
lie dormant in the soil until conditions
are favorable, then sprout.
Method for PerenniaIs.
To eradicate perennials, the same
proposition holds: Prevent the old
plants seeding; kill the young plants
as they appear; kill the root stock.
The most absolutely effective way to
kill root is to dig it out. II you have
only small patch and the weeds are
really no1ious, this may be the safest
way. If you have large patch and the
roots are long and strong this is an al.
most impossible task. In any case Il IL

of the railroads to pay reasonable
return on the investment ?" asked ].
V. Gibbons, addressing several hun
dred delegates to the annual conven-
ton of the Master Car and Locomo-
tive Painters Association at the
Breakers yesterday.
Mr.. Gibbons, who is from Topeka,
Kan, in a somewhat voluminous pa
per charged the legislators of the
country with having stunted the de-
velopment of transportation lines.
Injurious Legislation
He expressed a hope that injurious
legislation relating to railroads would
cease and the lines be given a breath

Mr.. Gibbons declared that the total
loss in the railroad industries aggre-
gated $547 100000 between the two
periods of 1905-6-7, when railroad
building was active, and the wears
