HOW TO PRUNE ROSES

There is right as well as a wrong
way to cut roses. The wrong way may
seriously iujure the blossom producing
properties of the plants, it is pointed
out by specialists of the United States
department of agriculture. This ap-
plies particularly, of course, to rose
plants chosen and grown especially for
cuy flower production. Such roses Will
be largely of the perpetual blooming
sorts.
When rose is cut from such plants
tea roses or other perpetual bloom
crs-only two or three eyes Of the cur
rent season IS growth of that branch
Should be left on the plant. This
should give the roses very long stems.
Succeeding blossoms should be cut
close to the ground. 1t will seem like
destroying the bush TO take so much
off it, but if the object is the produe
ton of roses the cutting away of tie
surplus wood with mereiless skill viii
attain the desired end.
If the spring pruning has not be'n
sufficiently severe the plant is likel9
to have long, naked stalks and short
stems to the flowers.
With this characer of rose growth
only one or two strong leaf buds should
be left on the branch when the flower
is cut, so as to stimulate as much
growth as possible from the base OF
the plant
The, greatest temptation to leave
wood is where there are two or mose.
buds on one branch, some being small
when the terminal one is open. This
temptation to follow u bad practice
can be avoided by pinching off all
side shoots after bud has formed Oh
the end of a branch. This summc.
pruning will encourage additional
blooms on varieties which bloom more
than once q year. sls

POTATOES MOST VALUABLE
FOOD PRODUCT

The present outlook on the potato
crop situation in the United States
seems to warrant us to make n state
ment as to the advisability of planting
the largest possible acreage to potatoes
in Colorado this year.
The situation is far from encourag-
ing. The early crop, while considerably
larger in acreage than last year, proba'
bly, will not produce as large a total
yield as last year, due to adverse
weather conditions, and also to the fer
tilizer istuation. Hence, we may look
for little relief from this source Of sup
ply. The acreage for late potatoes will
possibly not be larger than last year,

farming may, WITHOUT COST, get
use of tract of land, large or small
in the Grand Junction district, for this
season.
With all manner of staple farm
products sure to bring the highest
prices in many years, with certainty
that the demand will be greater than
the supply, with the national and state
governments urging that every acre Of
ground be planted the opportunity to
make big money IN farming this year
is not to be equalled in quarter of a
century's history of the nation.
10000 Acres of Land
The government is this year furnish
thirty thousand acres of good land un-
der the high line canal project near
Grand Junction.
The citizens of Grand Junction, CO.
operating with the federal government,
are doing all in their power to bring
as much of this great acreage as posi-
bic under cultivation this year.

BEETS IMPORTANT FACTOR
IN FOOD SUPPLY ISSUE

The Importance of the production Of
a large crop of sugar beets this year,
in view Of the nationwide fight to
produce sufficient food supply for
that part of the world which must look
to the United States for its staples, is
commanding the attention of the federal
authorities and food experts who are
now engaged in planning the crop cam
paign for 1917.
Beet growers, and farmers in gener-
al in the beet growing sections Of Col
orado, Nebraska, Montana, Wyomin
and other western states, have an op.
portunity to do their part in the food
production efficiency campaign, which
the department of agriculture in WASH
ington s going to undertake as a result
of the problems of production and dis
tribution which are expected to confront
the nation shortly. AS much as any
thing else, it is said, increased acreage
to beets will aid in the solution of the
problems.
Sugar is one essential in food supply
that must be increased. Sea menaces
will make it imperative that the nation
must depend more than ever upon the
supply of domestic sugar. Great Brit
ain and the other allies, who have de-
pended upon Germany in the past for
States, and should the production here
permit, this country could supply al
least fair proportion of the sugar
needed in the United Kingdom and
other allied countries.
Furthermore. increased beet acreage
would mean increased supply of pulp
for feeding livestock, permitting at
least some of the grain that is fed to
cattle and sheep to be used for other
purposes.
At the beginning of the European
war, the German government decreased i
'h' 'e'p a,itdSt, plpcethlnH u'DH Lht
th0rv that the land had better be used
in The production of wheat and other
grains. Early in 1915, the economic
error was discovered. and the German
govtrnment took steps to restore the
old beet acreage, and to increase it as
much as possible The kaiscr's minis.
tors demonstrated that one acre of SUI
gar beets was worth more than four
2 res planted to wheat and other grains
in proportion. Furthermore, the gov.
crnment required that only -fourths
of he beets need be delivered at the
s0unr factories, and that the remaining
fourth could be used for stock food. In
turn, the factories were required TO
keen only seventy five per cent of their
contracts with wholesalers and retailers
Consequently. it will be seen that
the Greater the acreage in beets, the
greater the production of sugar, and of
cattle feed, and consequently, the rails.

WHAT is rREAsoN2

"Treason against the United states
shall consist only in levying war
against them. or in adhering to their
enemies, giving them aid and comfort.
(U. S. Cons. Art III. Sec, 3D.
A further provision Of the eonstitu-
tion says:
NO person shall be convicted of
treason unless on the testimony OF
two witnesses to the same overt act or
on confession in open court"
After somewhat extended discus
sion Of the foregoing provisions of the
constitution, Charles Stewart DAWSON
an eminent New York lawyer, draws
the following conclusions:
First-That intent may be deduced
from course Of conduct and that one
is presumed in law to intend the nat
ural consequences Of his acts.
Second--That adherence to the enc
my is a phrase to denote a mental at
titude on the part of the accused. and
the jury may deduce its existence from
a persons course OF conduct and the
jurys deduction will stand
Third That the utterance Of either
written or spoken words is as much an
overt act as is deed,
Fourth-That doing or saying or
writing anything which tends to-
hearten or encourage the enemy
whether aimed against these United
States or in form against any ally in
war of these United States, is as
much within the provision of the con
stitution as would be the rendering OF
material physical aid to the common
foe
Fifth-That the test Of modern con
ditions will be applied in determining
whether the speaking or writing may
be reasonably deemed to have afford
ed aid and comfort to The enemy to-
have encouraged his resistance, to.
have heartened his effort
And, finally. that there is sure to be
a popular demand for the execution Of
traitors as soon as the lives OF our
men commence to be taken For ex-I
perience has shown that such de
mand arises in every country under
such circumstances; being urged as
matter Of common prudence for the
protection Of the land and it is hard
to successfully show in every instance
that it is not justified. Wherefore it
may befall that all OF the admirers Off
autOcracy may not be saved from thel
results Of what cannot but be designat
ed their own criminal folly.
