CONDITIONS AND
PRODUCTION
lBY Il. X. Ed

The agricultural conditions of
Crowley county are such as to place
it in the category of the best produc-
ing counties in the entire state of
Colorado. Alfalfa is one of the lead
ing crops.
The increasing demand for alfalfa
with the corresponding increase of
price has made this one of the most
profitable crops for the farmers at
large. According to the experiment
stations alfalfa has a higher feeding
value per pound than any other for
ago crop and 1t actually increases the
| fertility of the land on which ii Is
grown. No other section in the world
producing the tonnage of alfalfa that
is recorded in the Arkansas Valley
and near Crowley county nor has any
other section as many alfalfa meal
mills. Ground which is to be sown
to alfalfa should b. well plowed the
previous fall and allowed to weather
until spring when the alfalfa seed
may be sown with oats. The growing
of the oats shades the young plants
until they get established and often
the alfalfa makes one cutting the first
year. Thereafter 1t makes three
heavy cuttings year. averaging four
to FIVE tons of hay for the season.
The average of growing alfalfa on
Colorado irrigated lands is shown by
the loss which the hay sustained in
Kansas and other states. When rain
ed upon while curing fifty per cen.
OF the nitrogen and seventy-hve Der
cent of the phosphorus being dissolv'
ed Where The moisture supply is
under control there is little danger of
the cut hay being damaged. About
10000 acres of land under the irri-
CATION system are kept in alfalfa.
Considerable of the meal is con-
verted into what is known as the ba!-
anced ration beins mixed with 30
per cent of molasses which is by
product of the beet factory at Sugar
City, cracked corn, cotton seed meal
and salt. The mills have large stor-
age ware houses for the ground meal.
They can run almost continuously
without depending upon the daily or
ders to move the daily production.
The cattle feeding company at Sugar
City buys large quantities of alfalfa
hay for their stock, but most of the
meal is shipped to dairy sections.
Wheat, oats, barley, rye and other
small grains thrive in Crowley coun-
ty, and produce more bushels of heav-
ier weight than any other section of
: the United States. Wheat frequent
ly yields 10 bushels per acre; of oats
100 bushels per acf Is the common
yield. Alfalfa and other legumes
fixed nitrogen in the soil and because
of its qualities is most valuable
element in crop ro,ation. The Sc
quence of alfalfa, sugar beets and
small grains combined with an ideal
soil and climate and with irrigation
when and where, needed affords the
n explanation for both the phssnomfnal
production and the surpassing quality
of the grain. fruits. vegetables and
forage crops of this land.

Dear Sir
have your letter and the
dead cherry limbs from an Ord
way orchard about which you
write. These limbs are badly in
tested with Putnam Scale. This
scale is rather easily controlled
by thoroughly spraying the cher
ry trees while they are dormant
with lime sulphur mixture. At
this time of the year I would rec
ommend spraying with "Black
Leaf 4O", one part in about 500
parts of water. or kerosene emul-.
sion, in which the oil is LIS of
the entire emulsion.
II is always very much better
to make the application for scale
control when the trees are dor
mant. l am sending you bulle-
tin. 21O. under separate cover.
giving the directions for the pre-
paration and application of in

Fusion Plan
Is Submitted

Due to considerable talk
among certain of the politicians
OF the county in both the Repub-
lican and Democratic party, and
more especially In the Democrat
ic party. the Republicans took
the initiative last Saturday and
submitted a fifty-fifty PROPOSE
tion to the Democratic party
leaders. 1t YVES as. near an equal
proposition as could be devised,
but the Democratic party leaders
have so far failed to agree to it
Just what the outcome will be is
not known, however, the PROPOSE
tion made by the Republican
leaders was SO well balanced that
they could see no reason for the
other side not accepting it.

When all the war charities col
lections are over and there are a
few dollars left, it will be well to
remember that Christmas is COM
ing and that over in Rome there
lives the August Pontiff, Pope
Benedict XIV, who has manfully
striven to keep neutral in a world
made up of all kinds Of people.
His children are of every race.
His supporters of old in stricken
Europe can help him very little
these days. His funds are low
and spent for charity. What a
great delight it would be if a mil
lion or more Catholic Americans
went to their Post Office and pur-
chased a check for one hundred
lire, or any multiple of it, about
$13 of our money, and sent it with
their good wishes in order that it
arrive before Christmas. The ad-
dress is, His Holiness, Benedict
XIV, the Vatican, Rome, Italy. An
avalanche of such Christmas
presents would be a great conso-
lation to the Holy Father in this
the great hour Of his extreme
need, thinks the Brooklyn Tablet.

men across five thousand miles of
ocean. Germany was hurting her
powerful armies through the gap
at Chateau Thierry. Uncle. Sam
saw it first, and by an incredibly
swift movement he dissipated the
enemy and saved Paris before the
allies were fully aware of the
danger. For four years the allies
battled in bloody conflict at ST.
Mihiel: they lost. Uncle Sam was
told to try his hand not to win,
as that was not considered posi-
BILE, but just to loosen the enemy
hold. In two days he not only
ousted the enemy, but hurled him
back many miles and cleared the
sector. Again, the enemy's main
artery was conferred through the
Argonne forest. That cut, and
the war would be practically over.
1t was viewed as an herculean
task. Suddenly an American army
Of nearly eight hundred thousand
men appeared. After a short,
desperate struggle the German
high command admitted defeat on
November 2. Nine days later the
armistice was signed.
In this way America has opened
the eyes of the allies as well as
of her enemies. The world has
come to look upon this nation as
the great modern revelation. All
peoples have arisen and are pat
terning their new-found freedom
upon this model. The principles
of equality, for the first time in
the history of the world, have be-
come the pulsating motive of new
life. among the, oppressed nations
of earth. All the forces of de-
mocracy and freedom are entitled
to credit in the great victory
there is no room for envy, as there
is glory for all. But we in this
country feel particularly grateful
to God that He has vouchsafed to
us the privileges of spreading the
great principle of human freedom,
and at the same time of saving the
forces of democracy when they
were about to collapse.

Rev. Joseph BogacZyk, was officiating
at memorial services for Stanley Cos

He was made to carry flag to the
square and was supposed to have ex-

rung the bell, and was then released
without violence.
Officers accompanied him back to
the church. Upon the mob's second
visit to the priest the officers at

officers was knocked down.

HOLDING PUBLIC FUNERALS

The following letter has been re-
ceived by the diocesan authorities
from the Minnesota State Board
of Health:
May we ask you to call the at
tention Of the priests within your
jurisdiction to the fact that pub
lie funerals, including those from
churches, throughout the State Of
Minnesota are prohibited?
While the epidemic situation in
St. Paul may or may not justify
the closing and opening of
churches, the epidemic through
out the state does not yet justify
our raising the ban on public
funerals, and allowing people to
assemble from various commun-
tiles under the peculiarly poten-
tial mountaineering condi-
tons present at the funeral. 1t is
our desire to have present at fune-
rails only members Of the family
of the deceased, administer of re-
ligion, a licensed embalmer and
his necessary assistants.
We believe that such requiem
mass or other church services, as
may be desired, can be held at a
time somewhat removed. from the
date of the funeral, when the in
crease of secretions from the up
per respiratory tract is not SO
marked.
Yours very truly,
G. E. SMITH, M. D.,
Assistant Secretary.
