SEED INDUSTRY
Source of Wealth to the Farmers of
Colorado Because of Immunity
From Plant Disease

/
A new source of wealth for the
Colorado farmer has arisen through
a country wide demand for seed
produced in this state. The GER
eals, beets, potatoes, beans, peas,
clover, alfalfa. flowers everything
that will germinate and propagate
the species is in demand.
Without solicitation on their
part, the husbandmen of the state
have had lucrative business
thrust upon them. The soil. rich
in elements that make strong,
healthy plants; immunity from the
plant diseases which rage in other
states, and location which is favor
able to transportation and dis
tribution problems, have been the
agencies to which may be given
the credit of calling in trade which
already has grown to remarkable
aggres ate and promises much in
the future.
"In furnishing to the rest of the
country and even to the world,
pure, sound seed for the vegetable
product that must continue to be
grown, Colorado has an undreamed
of opportunity to pour wealth into
the pockets of her TURNER'S" said
a prominent grower last week.
"Disease and blight hive been
creeping into the fields of the
eastern states. This year it is al
most impossible to obtain an alb
solntely healthy potato in the
heretofore prolific fields of Mich
igan, Ohio and New York. Sam
Piles of Colorado potatoes have
gone forth to the country and no
surer advertisement could have
been thought of than these spo'-
less, unblemished samples of what
the rich elements of Colorado soil
ear produce. 1t is the. same in
practically every vegetable product
of the state. With pure seed
everywhere the slogan, it simply
means that the growers are going
to seek ont the newest and surest
fields of their supplies. The
farmers will discover, even as they
have found gold mine i'll the
growing of sugar beets after they
once got used of them, that the
ready money bag is jingling before
their eyes. Dairy products have
assumed that role to surprising
degree lately. | predict that the
seed industry will he added to the
list of mortgage-lifters."

Every business and profession
in Rocky Ford WAS well repre-
sented at the businessmen lunch
con in the Cantaloupe cafe at noon
yesterday, again and for the third
time attesting to the popularity of
these monthly get-together meet
ings.
1t is hardly proper to call the
affair Of yesterday luncheon, as
a substantial meal was served in a
most appetizing manner by Mine
Host Smith of the cafe that tiaunts
the name of Rocky Ford's most
famous product.
After full justice had been done
to this meal the throng listened
with keen enjoyment to paper
on "Mending Our Punctures' by
P. J. Reifel that The Enterprise
will try and give its readers next
week.
Following this came short talks
by Henry Hardey, L. j. Smirl

interesting and so instructive that
this get-together meeting was
again productive of great good to
the citizens assembled.

of This Season

For the first time in the basket
ball history of the Southern Colo
RADIO Northern New Mexico Inter-
scholastic League our boys team
has secured the pennant-an
honor coveted and struggled for
by every team in the league.
The championship game was
played at Cheeks hall last Friday
evening between Raton and Rocky
Ford and our boys were acclaim
ed the victors.
Both teams played fine ball and
the losers need not be ashamed of
the style of game they put up as
it was the cleanest exhibition of
the season on the home floor.
The two teams contested for
every point and it was with great
difficulty that Rocky Ford was
able to beat Ration by a score of
"A to 26.
La Junta's defeat of the week
before was still remembered, 30
Ration was not without supply
of rooters. altho their supporters
were a little disheartened after
the game.
The Ration girls were also de-
feated by our girls by score of
As to 81. This was also an excit-
ing game in which both teams
showed great amount of skill.
Saturday night-was great oc-
casion for the faculty of the high
school. They had challenged the
seniors second team to a game of
basketball and much to their dis
may it was accepted. Saturday
night they appeared and SO did
the seniors, and the results of the
game showed the superiority of
the seniors. One of the seniors
even gave a basket to the faculty
increasing their score and making
the final victory only 20 to l6 in
favor of the second team. The
faculty are now looking forward
to baseball.

upon justice when Bob Harris
was acquitted of the charge of
killing Marshals Craig and Kip

another killing within a year."
has been fulfilled, according to
news from Pueblo the first of this
week.
Here is the story told by the
Pueblo dispatches of Tuesday:
Robert Harris, negro, again COM
mitted murder, according to the
police, when he shot and killed
William McGee, negro. at the
latters home in Pueblo at s o'clock
on Monday night.
Amanda Howard, negro, was
the only witness to the killing,
but Police Officer McGranahan,
attracted by the shooting, rushed
to the scene in time to arrest
Harris as lie dashed from the
doorway of the house, the smok-
ing revolver still held firmly in
his nand.
The direct cause of the shoot
ing is said to have been an argu-
ment over some trivial affair
which occurred at the McGee
home on Monday evening, follow
ing q drinking party, which had
lasted all day.
According to witnesses, Harris
worsted in the argument, left the
house. This caused the breaking
up of the party. A few minutes
later it is said Harris returned
and entered the McGee home.
On entering the parlor he was
met by McGee, and it is claimed
he drew a revolver and fired point
blank at McGee five times. All
shots went wild but the last,
which pierced McGee's heart,
killing him instantly.
The police claim to have evi-
dence which tends to show that
Harris, after a tiff with McGee,
went forth, stole n suit of clothes
which he sold and with the pro-
caeds of the sale bot the gun
with which the killing was ac-
complished. "
Since few months after the
farcical ending of the second trial
of Bob Harris on June. 21, 1914
when he was acquitted of the kill
ing of Marshals Craig aud Ripper,
after lie had gone upon the stand
and admitted that he had fred
the shots on the night of July 4,
1911, that killed both officers
"Nigger Bob" has been living in
Pueblo with his father, Joe Har-
ris, and his bad reputation has
caused the police to keep close
watch upon him, SO that he was
unable to make his getaway after
this last killing, as he no doubt
had planned.
That Enterprise readers may
put most pertinent question to
them, we herewith give the names
of the jurors who less than two
years ago gave Bob Harris his
liberty to kill his third man:
r. H. Connerley, James Kinsel,
James Crosley, James Gilbert,
George McManes, D. r. McCune,
