GOVERNMENT AGRIcuLTuRIsr

II. W. Gilbertson, assistant in ad-
ministration of county agent work,
for the western states. of the U. S.
department of agriculture arrived in
Durango last night and is taking up
the agricultural work in this section
with our county agriculturist, Il. d,
Smith.
Mr.. Gilbertson is in the extension
work of the department. This work
is being done in 33 states and there
are employed some 400 county agents
or county agriculturists. There are
IL of these county agents in Colora-
do, and so in the western states.
The fund coming from the govern
ment to this state for general exten-
sion work thru the state agricultural
college is $4,000. Besides this the
government eXpends in Colorado each
year $4,000 for the purpose of de
fraying the expenses of the county
agents work.

Mr.. Gilbcrtson will spend altogeth-

will be in this county two days and
will then leave for Glenwood Springs.
Shortly he will leave for Washington.
Our government is now realizing
the Importance of systematic work
thruout the country. 1t is this very
systematic work that has made Ger
many and Denmark what they are to-
day. Our people should accept every
opportunity to profit thru the assist
ance of the government in this work

Tomatoes.
Tomatoes require long period. AS
soon as the plants are large enough
to handle, they are transplanted four
feet apart and trained to stakes three
feet high. Two or three stalks are
allowed to develop and tied to the
stakes in order to keep the fruit and

dard OF our community. As mat
ter OF fact, we are expecting much
OF the directors, considering the
amount of funds they have at their
command. 1t requires large sum of
money to pay the secretary, issue
publications, maintain headquarters.
| Can 1t be presumed that the regular
dues will meet all these unusual de-
| mands? Remember that but few if
any organizations undertake SO large
a work as has been undertaken by
this organization. The directors
should have sufficient funds to meet
all the reasonable demands of the in
stitution. 1t is not sufficient to
merely run the Exchange in formal
way. 1t should be the object to
make it real business getting in
stitution, one that must work and ac-
compiish large undertakings.
Much Time Given.
The directors and active commit
tees are giving from five to Is hours
week of their time to the public
work. If this time is being taken
from their business hours (and much
of it isl it would amount to $4,000
worth of time in year, each. There
is no other organization that is work
ing directly for the whole San Juan
basin. The work done helps all.
Then all who receive services shrould
return services or its equivalent.
Financial Needs.
One business man in Denver who
formerly lived in the San Juon con-
tributes $1,000 a year to help the
Denver Chamber of Commerce do
public work there. Another man in
Pueblo contributes likewise $1,000 a
year. These are not gifts. 1t is pay
ing for business thru a system of Co
ope ration.
1t has been suggested that the
business men of this section should
place the Exchange on permanent
basis, simply from the view point of
business. Public work is business.
We cannot get away from the fact
that there is certain amount of
business than cannot be done by in
tividuals working single handed. 1t
S well to figure out what this kind
of work is worth to the community
and to each individuals property
Remember that stagnation is what
mas ruined many community. 1t
requires energy and it requires mon

1t is not so much a matter of
whether one likes this particular per-
son as it is that we all have certain
interests here that need protection
against stagnation, against neglect
and ignorance. 1t means that your
'operty and my property need pro
ection. 1t means that your interests
and my interests must be increased
in value by the results of industry
Remember that New York City was
small place one time. 1t was enet-
gy and the expenditure of large
sums of money by way of organiza-
ton that has made that city, that has

HOW TO CULTIVATE
A VEGETABLE GARDEN

At this season of the year when
everyone is planning the vegetable
garden, fe whints taken from the
pamphlet sent out by the Agricultural
Experiment station at Fort Collins
may be helpful.
Soil and Irrigation.
The soil for vegetable growing
should be rich and well drained. One
containing sand is desirable since
such soils warm up earlier. Vege-
tables contain from 85 to 90 per cent
water, so it is very necessary that
they have plenty of moisture. The
irrigation should be troro but not too
frequent, as frequent light irrigation
induces a shallow root system.
Beans.
A rich clay loan is the best. Be
ing tender plants they cannot be
planted until all danger of frost is
passed. Make rows two and one
half feet apart and plant the seed
one and one-haf inches deep and three
or four inches apart in the row.
Beets.
Beets thrive in rich sandy loan
They should be planted about the
same time as lettuce. They need
frequent cultivation.
Swiss Chard.
This is grown for the leaves and
the thickened leaf stalks. The young
leaves may be boiled like spinach
and the stalks cooked and stewed ir
the same manner as asparagus. The
seed should be sown three-quarters
of an inch deep and the plants thin.
| ned to abot eight or ten inches
apart. Chard is vegetable that de
serves to be more extensively cul.
| tivated.
Cabbage.
A cool, moist deep soil, well fer
tilizcd is preferred. Transplantinp
should be done just before a rain
but never just after. Set the plant!
three feet apart and cultivate fire
quently.
Carrots.
Sow thinly after danger of fros
is over, about one-half inch deeI
in drills from 18 to 20 inches apart
Thin out and be careful to keep dow
all weeds.
! Lettuce.
Lettuce can be sown as soon rs tn,
soil can be worked. Sow the see:
thinly and thin out. Set the plant
taken out elsewhere about six t,
eight inches apart. Aim to grow let

ALL COLORADO INTERESTED

Southern Colorado has decided to
pull off one of the biggest affairs
of its kind in the history of the state
on the very top of the Continental
divide. When the matter was decid-
ed upon, it was hardly believed that
there would be such general interest
taken. Now it appears that every
where the people of the state are re-
alizing what such an undertaking
means for the whole state generally
and the southern part particularly.
Invitations are being sent out from
Del Norte and Durango to various
commercial bodies and Automobile
clubs, to state officials and other
prominent men.
From the press reports and re
sponses to invitations it may be as
sumed that there will be one big cele
bration on the continental divide in
July.
The details are being arranged a
rapidly as conditions will permit.

am very glad to know that you
are preparing to fittingly celebrate
the opening Of this most important
state highway, and assure you that
will be with you, if it is possible to
do so.
believe this to be one of the most
important projects that the state has
undertaken, and will lend materially ~
to scenic attractions and commercial
use of the whole state.
