FOURTH LIBERTY
LOAN TOBE SOON
Campaign Is Slated to. Commence
Sept. %; Fourth Loan To
Be Much Larger Than
Third Liberty Loan

Preparations are rapidly nearing
completion throughout the state for
the Fourth Liberty Loan, which starts
September 2sth and ends October 1S.
The intensive campaign will be during
the first two weeks or about Oct. 5.
The quotas have not yet been assigned
but it is generally understood that
Colorado's quota will be between forty
and forty five million dollars. which
is twice the amount of the Third Lib
erty Loan.
The same army will have charge
.of the Fourth In this connection the
State Executive Committee will meet
with National leaders in Kansas City
next week for conference and as
soon AS they return to Colorado a
meeting will be called in Denver of
all the District and County chairmen
for the purpose of completing the de-
tails of the campaign plan and for the
purpose of announcing the quotas.
The details of the Bond issue have not
been made public but it is understood
that they will be issued in denomina-
tions of $4,000 and up, but it is also
understood that the deferred payments
must be made in five nstallments
rather than ten. This is to keep them
/ from running past the Fifth Liberty
Loan which is supposed will come early
next year
Posters, automobile stickers, but
tons, window cards, quota flags and
other means of advertising similar to
the previous Liberty Loans will be
used. There will be quite number
of novel features, including speaking
tours by ten returned wounded Ameri-
can heroes. The total issue will be
six billion dollars. Colorado has to
date raised for the Federal Govern
ment in Liberty Loans, War Savings
Stamps, Red Cross and similar drives
little over one hundred million dol
lars which is one hundred dollars per
person in the state This loan equals
| forty per cent of what she has already
raised.
When this Loan is raised we will be-
gin to realize the necessity of conserv-
ing for the war. A magnificent fea-
ture of the work so far is the fact that
not one Liberty Loan official through
out the state has Indicated that his
country will not make the quota. They
all say that they will 90 over the top.

BOYS ARE CHARG-

ING WATERMELONS

Stealing watermelons has been the
cause of quite a little discomfort with
about fifteen or twenty of the boys
of Julesburg this week. they having
been called before the executive COM
mittee of the council of defense for
hearing in the matter.
The melon patch in question is own
ed by J. c. Spratt over near the caves,
and il is reported that about one hun
dred melons were taken or destroyed
by the boys in their pranks. This
means about $4,000 loss to Mr..

joke. The boys after being given
hearing before the council of defense
on Tuesday and Wednesday nights of
this week, were ordered to report be-
fore Judge Austin in Juvenile court
next Monday night, at which time IA
disposition of the matter will be made

Well Proved Home Grown Wheat Seed
Is the Best

The seed wheat supply for next
seasons crop needs immediate atten-
ton says &. S. Ray, of the Colorado
Agricultural College "Our govern
ment is asking Colorado farmers to
increase the winter wheat acreage 10
per cent for the 1919 crop This will
mean 5Os.OO0 acres of winter wheat
for the state, hence, an abundant sup
ply of good seed is essential.
The principal points to be remem-
bered in connection with the seed sup
ply are that the variety shall be pure,
well adapted to the locality, and free
from noxiuos weeds and diseases. The
home grown seed should be used wher-
ever possible. An adapted variety rails
ed in one locality for several years, is
the best seed obtainable, provided it
is pure. To say that a variety is run
out" really means that it has become
mixed. and weedy and disease infect
ed
A change in the kind of wheat
grown should be made only to secure
a proven better variety. Widely ad-
vertised new" varieties are seldom
desirable. If a change is desired, Sc
cure the advice Of the county agent

Trap the Web Worm

Farmers who are growing beets
should take every precaution to con
troll the web worms. The little brown
moths that are on your beets now are
laying the eggs that will hatch out
within few days into the web worm
that has already done so much dam
age. AS there is no poison available
for poisoning the worms when they
appear, every effort should be made
to trap the moths now.
The lantern trap method is effec-
tive. Place tubs in the field; put two
or three inches of water with a little
kerosene in the tub. and set lighted
lantern on a rock in the tub. The moth
will fly to the light and drop in the
water and die.

Considerable improvement may be
made in the yield of beans in Colora
do, if careful attention is given to
seed selection, according to G. S. Ray.
of the Colorado Agricultural College
Mr.. Ray says: "To date, scarcely any
seed selection for this crop has been
made in this state. Bean growers
can well afford to go through their
fields before the crop is harvested
this season and secure their seed
for next seasons planting. or at least
enough seed to start a seed plat.
Plants for seed should possess the
following characteristics: 1 high
yield tgreat number of well-filled pods
(2) early maturity with all pods even
ly matured. and (3) freedom from
disease. 1t is well to go through the
fields before the leaves have fallen
from the bean plant, and mark those
plants which have made vigorous
growth and which show no trace of
any disease. Then, as the beans are
ripening, those plants maturing all
their pods evenly and at the earliest
date should be pulled by hand and
shocked away from the remainder of
the crop.
Some improvement may be expect
ed in next seasons crop if only the
beans from the selected plants are
used for seed. A better, but some
what slower method of improvement
will be to plant individual seed from
the best of these selected plants and
compare their growth and yield next
season. Then the one or two plants
which give the best yields and make
the most satisfactory growth may be
chosen and used as foundation stock.
In a very few years these one or two
plants increased for seed production
only will have produced enough seed
to plant a field of considerable size.

Idaho Farmers Pool Wool Shipments.

Idaho Farmers Pool Wool Shipments.
Two hundred and thirty thousand
pounds of wool were handled bv
farmers wool pool organized with
the help of the farm bureaus of Ada
and Canyon counties, Idaho, and the
United States Department of Agri-
culture. The wool sold at go cents
a pound, and the total amount re-
ceived by the farmers was $76,4O0.
The cost Of handling was prorated
and found to be three e-thousandths
of a cent pound. The farmers feel
that the pool saved them several
thousand dollars. Members of this
years pool are planning for next
year. They are learning something
Of the different grades of wool, SO
that next year they can grade AMI
classify to better advantage. Through
the help of the Lewis County Farm
Bureau similar pool was organized
which shipped 10000 pounds of wool
to Salem, Oregon. Lewis county has
always been regarded as a grain
growing county. Since the organiza
ton of tile farm bureau, however, a
great interest has been developed in
sheep raising, and this wool pool in
dicates what measure of success has
already been obtained. Ninety five
thousand pounds Of wool were sold
