a depth of eight to fifteen inches. Or
more, and gives rise at frequent in
tervals to leafy shoots, Thus it will
often be found that an entire patch Of
thistles is attached to one root, and
is in reality but one plant. The root
is exceedingly hardy, and can live
over winter or through a prolonged
drought in a dormant condition. Pieces
of the root that are broken off by a
plow or cultivator and carried to other
places will await warm, moist
period, and then begin to send up
leafy shoots, thus establishing new
patch forthwith. If the leafy stems
are cut down, others will be sent up
to take their place, and this process
may be repeated from two to eight
times before the root becomes ex
hauSted.
The point that must be kept In mind
III fighting Canada thistles Is that /;
is the roots, rather than the tops, that
must be killed. Simply cutting of
the tops a few times has much the
same effect as pruning an apple tree
But If the tops are cut off deep and
frequently. the root must eventually
suffocate through lack of leaves.

A BANKERS TESTIMONY TO THE
ADVANTAGES OF A DRY STATE.

ADVANTAGES OF A DRY STATE.
Mr.. Gordon Jones, leading banker
Of Denver writing in the Denver Post
concerning thA effects of year of pro-
hibltion in that city, says:
''The most remarkable thing about
Denvers change from wet to a dry
regime was the ease with which, that
change was made. There was no cri-
sis in finances, and business affairs
were conducted under the new condi-
tons without perceptible hitch In
their machinery

meat, taifsF not difficult to trace the
dement's 40r cessation Of common and
public drinking. The fact that in the
first ten months OF 1916 the savings
accounts, in Denver banks were Ia
creased by nearly$20,OOO is proof that
prohibition has enhanced thrift. TAN.
collections in'six months were as lsgse$s
as for the entire year of 1918, snowangS
that the m0ney that went into the pur-
chase OF liquor has gone to pay--the
expenses of government.
81 have a lawyer friend who is at
torney for five former liquor dealers,
and he tells me he has talked over the
situation with them and that all de-
clare they would not only never re-
enter the business If liquor were re-
stored, but that If the opportunity ever
came to them they would vote for pro-
hibition.
'1To sum up the effect Of prohibition
on business, l can say that collections
have been generally better; men are
buying better goods and better foods
real estate men say that their rentals
are paid more promptly; there is no
idlefless among our workers; our
people are more thrifty; but, above all,
there is a spirit of cheerfulness that
was never so pronounced as In the first
twelve months Of dry Colorado"

Better prices for farm products are
bringing about better methods and

cording to A. n, Brown, editor of Fruit
Belt. who declares that the first and
fundamental step Is to know soils and
to know what elements of fertility
should be supplied to aid growing
crops. IL care be not taken to keep
the soil supplied by the addition of

come smaller each year, but when the
soils are managed properly the fer.

ditions is as follows:
There has been some Improvement
In business during the week, although
the volume of new business is not as
large as it was year ago. Buying,
especially in rural districts. has been
very conservative for months; stocks
are pretty we'll reduced. and an early
replenishing will be necessary. Money
seems plentiful and collections are
good, especially throughout the cotton
belt. Shoe statesmen are booking fair
sized orders. dealers having become
convinced that, owing to the govern
mcnt becoming largo customer, an
carly reduction in price cannot be ex-
pected. Black shoes are more in vogue
for winter wear. while white fancy
goods are more ready sellers for
spring. Dry goods sales arc nearer
normal. and n good seasons trade is
anticipated. The movement OF hard
ware is restricted to immediate needs.
