Contrasting Racial Opportunities.

Notwithstanding the many handicaps
Of the colored people in their efforts 70
better their condition, they are making
considerable progress. Besides the
small pay they get for their services,
they are handicapped in the education
of their children. especially in the
south, where the rural school term is
not more than half as long as those IN
the north. Nevertheless the majority
Of the ablest members of the race In
tellectually are natives OF the south.

ents. in view of the above, should
make full use of their opportunities.

BUFFUMS NO. IL WINTER WHEAT
Is a New Variety Especially Adapted
to High Attitudes and Short
Summer Seasons.

The following report of Prof. Il. c..
Buffum of Worland upon his expert
ments with u new variety of winter
wheat, will be of much interest:
This wheat is n new and distinct va
riety, produced by several years of
plant breeding at Worland, Wyo. 1t
has now been distributed over a wide
territory for seven years, so the infor-
nation about it may be considered fair
ly complete and reliable. Among the
comparative trials of this wheat with
others has been Il series of experiments
made by the United States Department
of Agriculture and the Canadian De
partment of Agriculture. BY these
of the U. S. Department of Agriculture
says that this wheat stands at the head
of the plant breeding productions of
b. c. Buffum.
1t has yielded crops where heretofore
winter wheats have generally failed.
Some of these localities are Williston,
North Dakota Oh the government ex-
pertinent station at Lethbridge, Can

tions, and has proven to be the most

The greatly Increased acreage of
wheat and other grains throughout the
west the past year, and the prospects
for still greater increases in these
crops with succeeding seasons, has
been responsible for the building and
equipping of very numerous roller
mills in various parts of this and
neighboring states within the past
few months, and many more are con
templated. Saratoga is more fortu-
late than many towns in having a
mill already built and lacking only mi
chinery and power plant to be able to
turn out flour and feed in sufficient
quantities to at least supply the home
market, and it is to be hoped that
there will be sufficient cooperation
among local farmers in the way of
grain planting the coming season to
justify the re-opening of the mill. Ev-
eryone who has had to buy any nine
dollar flour should be an active booster
for this project.

GOOD ROADS
TOURISTS.

Some of our competitors in the tour
list traffic business appear to think
that Saratoga has been getting more
than her share of this business the
past season, and the blame is laid to
the poor condition of the roads in other
sections, the bulk of the traffic to and
from Colorado points having been com
ing this way on accoun of the gener-
ally good roads throughout the valley.
In a recent issue the Laramie Repub-
lican says:
Albany county has 1t entirely with
in its power to adjust the difficulty
owe the Lincoln Highway matter and
should do so without delay. If Carbon
county persists in sending travel by the
way of the Saratoga road and refuses
to repair its portion of the Lincoln
Highway between Medicine Bow and
Fort Steele, then the people here are
justified in refusing to expend a single
dollar on the road from Mountain
Home to Tie Siding and in uniting
with the people of Medicine Bow and
Hanna in improving the Lincoln High
way to the west. If we sit still and
allow this rank imposition to go on,
we deserve all that we are getting"

Potatoes Will Be Cheaper.
Aug 3073

The office of information of the de
partment of agriculture authorizes the
following:
The huge potato crop which the
forecast made by the department of ag
riculture indicates will be produced i'll
the United States this year, means
that this important food staple Will he
cheaper, and makes it possible for
American families that nave had to u
down on potato consumption because
of the high prices, to restore the tuber
to Il prominent place on their table.
The department forecast, based on
reliable estimates from all parts of the
country, places the total potato yield
ut more than 467 900, 900 bushels, as
compared with $3.50 700 in 1916 and
3GO,OOO,OO in 1915. Potatoes of the
current season are already in the mar
ket in large quantities and, since the
early harvested tubers cannot be kept
easily, should be eaten more abundant
ly now, if spoilage is to be avoided.
