Badly Peeved

Some of our boosters came back
from the Wichita Wheat Show feeling
real insulted. They said they didn't
object to the committee barring our
grains from the prize contests as we
accepted the fact that Colorado grain
is in a class by itself and it would be
unfair to expect such states as Kan
sas, Oklahoma and Missouri to com
pete with us. But what made them
sore was to have a lot of Wichita
ladies and some of the men pass by
the punch served by the Colorado
ladies because they thought it looked
too red. 1t may be that Kansas has
been dry so long that the ladies arc
familiar with methods of obtaining
such things, but the Colorado women
are innocent of such Knowledge and
the punch was harmless.

BEET TOPS A VALUABLE FEED
Beet Top Silage Almost Equal to Corn
Silage-How Tops Are Sliced

With feed prices three times what
they were ten years ago, more care
should be taken of beet tops. An acre
Of beets will produce from 4 to s tons
of tops. In a test made at the Colo
RADIO Experiment Station some years
ago, beet tops made into silage with
out the addition Of straw, showed a
value for feeding dairy cows almost
equal to corn silage, which is usually
considered worth SO to 81 a ton. The
beet top silage was a dark, coffee col
or and was not eaten as readily as the
corn silage, but seemed to give as
good returns for feed consumed. A
number of feeders made beet top sill
age last year and obtained excellent
results from feeding the silage to
steers
The easiset way to make this silage
is in a trench silo to feet wide, 6
to 8 feet deep and as long as may be

ANOTHER WORLD SERIES
The Worlds Championship Will Be
Really Settled in Lamar Next
Sunday-Don't Miss 1t

During the late unplo2santness be-
tween Chicago and New York each
contest was fought out to q finish on
the Lamar curbstoncs by the forces
employed at the land office and post
Office. When the wires told the story
of the Giants decisive defeat the p
o. boys paid their bets but denied that
the best team won, SO the L. o. force
challenged them to a mortal combat
on the diamond at Sonora Park in
northeast Lamar on Sunday afternoon,
October 81, TO forever settle the dis
pute. The p. o. boys promptly ac-
cepted and the Red Cross is expected
to look after the wounded end take
the proceeds. Material for good teams
is to be found in both outfits, and
while the Giants are sure to win this
bout yet it will be a scrap to a finish
and all who miss it will miss one of
the great treats of the year. The
supremacy Of governmental control in
this section Of the state is at stake
as well as the baseball championship
Of the universe and the best talent of
the city will be employed to win the
great battle. Admission only 25 cents
and proceeds go to the assistance of
the work Of the Red Cross in the
greatest worlds struggle in the his
tory of the human race. Everybody
should turn out and see a good scrap
and help the greatest cause Of all
the relief work of the great American
Red Cross Society.
