Denver, March 2l.-If the prompt
ness with which people pay taxes
and the total amount paid is any indi-
cation of the prosperity and growth of
a state. then Colorado is in splendid
condition, for money has been rolling
into the state treasury in great shape
the past few weeks.
AS every one knows. the first half
of the annual tax becomes delinquent
on March 1st and draws interest after
that date. The second half becomes
delinquent August 1st. This makes
February and July the great tax ray-
ing months. County treasurers make
their remittances to the state treas
urer early in each month for the pre-
ceding months collection. There
fore, March and August are the two
months when he receives the most
money.
J In March, 1911. he received s12s,-
099.72; in March. 1915, he received
s2G2. .0s3.7O, and during the present
month s4S4,125.75. This shows an in
crease over last year of more than
eighty per cent and an increase of
more than two hundred and fifty per
cent over the last March of the last
Democratic administration. This un.
precedented increase shows that bus
mess conditions are wonderfully i'm
proved over those of two years ago.
1t confirms the reports that banks are
sending in to the effect that old ac-
counts are being paid and mortgages
lifted in an unprecedented way.
This Improvement is especially no.
ticeable in the agricultural districts.
and it may be of interest to know how
some of the larger counties compare
with each other in the amount OF their
remittances.

Serial Bonds.
The serial bond differs somewhat
from the annuity bond, because, In
stead OF keeping the annual payment
of both principal and interest constant,
the amount of principal that Is re-
tired each year alone remains fixed.
This type of bond has become more
common for highway purposes In re-
cent years, and during 1912 and 1918
the number of serial issues exceeded
the number of issues for any other
single given term. The Office of pub
lie roads received reports from these
two years for s15,sOO,S1s in the serial
highway bonds, which ia over 20 per
cent Of the total county and district
bonds for which the period or term
of issue was reported. The first re.
tirement Of serial bonds is sometimes
deferred for number OF years.
The continued success OF highway
bonds as a means OF road improvement
viii depend largely on whether or not
the county authorities follow these
principles Of sound road financing:
(a) Asteady and well administered
system Of meeting interest and provid-
ing for the retirement OF bonds on
maturity, whether by means OF a sink
ing fund, by the annuity method, or
through serial payments.
(b) The limiting OF expenditures for
road Improvements to sums which are
warranted by the actual saving in
cost of hauling that the read improve
ment win effect. In this item may
also be considered increased tonnage

INSECTS HELP RAISE CROPS?
Many Plants Are PoIlInated Chiefly by
Bues-Wind Also Plays an
important Part.

By W. W. ROBBINS, Colorado Agricul.
tural College. Fort Collins. Colo)
1t is well known that most of our
crop plants will not form fruit and
seed unless the flowers are properly
pollinated. The principal carriers of
pollen are wind and insects. In some
plants, such as the beet, both wind
and insects play an important part in
the spread of pollen. In all cereals
and grasses, and in the potato, the
pollen is carried mainly by wind. In
most Of our common plants of garden.
field and orchard, insects are the chief
and most effective carriers OF pollen.
The following is q list OF insect-pol-
linated plants: Onions, asparagus,
buckwheat. gooseberry, currant, cab
bage, radish. turnip, raspberry, black.
berry, strawberry. apple. pear, plum.
cherry, peach, alfalfa, clover, melons.
cucumbers and squashes. We are very
dependent upon the bees and other
insects for good crop yield.
