Charles A Krone, the veteran St

classic heavies, tells many good stories
of his profession.
"Modesty is virtue" he said, while

comes a handicap to advancement, es
peically in our profession. l recall an
extreme case that came under my OBJ

to encounter an impudent stare. 1t
looks as though Young America was

to some of the burdened taxpayers
that these young sprouts had better
go farther away from home and work

When COWS take i'll the government
proceeds to take alarm, and sends a
veterinarian to sanitate the farm. The
COW, herself is put to bed and piled
with drugs and pills, and Uncle Sam
comes forward when she's cured to pay
the bills. But when a baby falls in
need of medicine and care, the gov
ernment contends that's none of its af-
fair. When pigs and lambs are threat
ened with a deadly pestilence, their
tender lives are guarded at the govern
ment's expense. They're coddled,
nursd and dieted until they're well and
fat, and never reckon of the cost, for
Uncle Sam pays that. Nut when an

Good News for Colorado

Among the encouraging things
which have come to this country, and
especially to Colorado in the past few
months, is the announcement that the
sugar beet seed of Colorado and Wyo-
/, ming is not only just as good as that
which was formerly imported from
Germany, but in fact is great deal
better.
And this comes at a time when the
possibility of importing enough to
remote. For several years experts
have been busy trying to grow seed
which would met the needs of the in
dustry and would not leave the country
dependent upon Germany for its sup
ply. Much money has been spent and
now they have reached the place where
they state that Colorado and Wyoming
will be abel in 1917 to furnish beet
sugar seed to the entire west.
This year because of the fact that
only $4,000 bags of seed will be re-
ceived from Germany, the farmers
are going to be hard pushed to secure
all they need for the 1916 planting.
They will be forced to call upon all
the reserve in the country, and efforts
are now being made to seucre seed
from France, Holland and other places
where beets are grown in any guam
tity.
There is every reason to see a
future ahead for the sugar of the west
ern country. The region is peculiarly
well adapted to the culture of beets
and the United States imports several
times the amount of sugar that is
produced. With the seed grown here
and the people brought to a realiza-
ton of the opportunity offered by
growing beets, then an impetus will
be given to the business which will
prove most remunerative and encour-
aging-Trinidad Picketwire.

ALFALFA BILL MURRAY. = An
Englishman once said that the ulti-
mate purpose of every law in the Bri-
tish realm had for it's object getting
twelve honest men in the jury box.
In my opinion the ultimate object of
every law, both state and national.
should be for the purpose of building
and the protection of American homes
by the American citizens. l am there
fore in favor of the bill. which has for
its object the homesteading of all the
remaining public domain of the United
States in tracts of $40 acres each. True
most of this land is not first class ag-
ricultural land. but it is nearly all good
grazing land and out of a section of
nearly all of It farmer can find suf-
ficient amount of tillable land out of
which to make farm. Using the re
mainder for stock will enable him to
make homestead. whereas he could
not make a homestead out of Ice
acres. There are in the United States
an aggregate of 330,oO0.000 acres of
public domain not yet homesteaded.

is obtained by property owners under
the present system is serious drain
on the resources of the people. The
system is crude, xpensive and unsatis-

DIR. L. F. DIFFFENDORF.-Liv
stock will place new farm over the
old farm. My personal experience has
taught me that the farmer who milks
cows, has a good herd Of hogs to drink
the SKINNED milk, plenty of poultry
and a good garden will succeed in this
western country. He can grow plenty
of feed and turn it into money from
day to day through livestock. This
method has brought prosperity to ev-
cry section with which ! am familiar.
LOU d. SWEET have spent the
last two months attending agricultural
conventions in different states. I have
been at meetings in Nebraska, Kansas.
Utah and at Fort Collins and Fort Nor
gan in this state. Improved farm
methods and rotation of crops are ad-
vancing agriculture throughout every
part of the intermountain and the pra-
| irie country and is contributing to the
upbuilding of the wealth of Denver and
the other large centers of population.
WILLIAM H. TAFT-From the boss
ridden convention with deliberation.
you will get better candidates than
you will from a primary. OF all the
evils which are supposed to be a cure
for all evils. the direct primary is the
worst. The primary is SO worked that
it can only be used by the rich man,
who can build up his own machine or
by the regular machine. Both of these
things the primary is supposed to
have abolished. The general primary
is fraud.
