Several Kitchens for cooked food

simple-cooked foods are supplied at "a

FREMONT PIG CLUB MEMBERS
go OVER THE TOP"

During the past few days ] have
had the opportunity of visiting many
boys and girls entered in the Pig
clubs OF Fremont county.
am proud to note the club work
is progressing nicely indeed in this
county and that an excellent club
spirit is found to exist among the
members for doing their best and
putting Fremont county over the
top" in hog production.
Something like sIxty-five boys and
girls are entered and carrying on the
pig club work in Fremont county and
this itself speaks well for the county,
though, however. the quality and con-
dition of the pigs mean more. There
are 700 pig club members in the state
and the government is asking that
100000 boys and girls raise pigs this
year Most of the club members in
Colorado have pure bred registered
pigs of either the Duroc-Jersey, Po-
landChina or Berkshire breeds
though. however. few members have
Chester White and Hampshire pigs.
There Is no phase or agricultural
production that needs builGing up
more than the live stock industry and
three is no better way of promot ing
the cause for more and better stock
than through the boys and girls live
stock clubs. Many pure bred animals
are distributed throughout the country
by club members entering the clubs
and securing registered stock This
will mean much for years to come.
Club work interests the members
in the farm the raising of better
stock. the keeping of farm records.

find most members of this county
have very good pigs, largely of the
Berkshire breed, and are feeding
fairly well and keeping records OF

curate and complete records is very
important and is one OF the principal
factors In determining the winners
in the contest
Often times a pig that is found to
grow off slow at first IL fed and han
died properly will make up the loss
as 1t grows older, though. however.
the cheapest gains are generally the
most rapid gains. Boys and girls
should remember this and push their
pigs as rapidly as possible from the
beginning to the end of the contest.
Mr.. X. r. Jeffries. county agricul-
tural agent, will gladly assist pig
club members in the feeding and man
agement of their pigs and the boys
and girls should not hesitate to call
upon him at any time.
Let pig club members have for
their motto. More Pork and More

TOMATO WILT.

Just recently some cases of the
tomatoes whiting in the field have been
noticed. This is disease and the
few rains we have had lately have
aided in its spreading. This yellow
ing Of the lower leaves of the toma-
toes is disease--a fungus disease
which spreads more rapidly under
the moist conditions we have expe-
rienced lately.
To make sure ii is the blight ex-
anime a cut section of the stem. II
the woody part is black you may be
sure it is the tomato blight. II you
do not watch this carefully it may
spread to the whole field. There is
no remedy save pulling up the in
fected plants and burning them. This
is to keep the disease from spreading
to the other plants. Spraying is use
less. Watch for the blight.

EVERYBODY TO SPRAY FOR THE
LEAF ROLLER IN 1919.

Feeling that the damage the leaf
roller causes in this community
should he stopped and believing that
compulsory spraying is the only way
to accomplish the desired results. it
was decided at a meeting of fruit
growers in Canon City that a pest dis
trict should be formed.
Not that even by compulsory spray
ing can the leaf roller be eradicated.
but its damages, which have amounted
to thousands of dollars. can at least
be checked by this method.
The damages of this insect is far
reaching. Not only is the present
fruit crop injured, but the trees that
are badly infested will not set crop
for next year, to say nothing of the
looks of the orchards, which appreci-
ably decrease the value of the prop
erty.
1t has been the hope OF the fruit
men that the leaf roller would act as
many other insect pests have done
rut its course and leave-but it has
been ten years that the growers have
waited on Nature and the insects are
not diminishing. Now a pest district
seems to be the only alternative. Ey-
cry one must be compelled to spray.
AT the meeting in Canon City the
officers of the Horticultural society
were chosen as leaders in securing
the necessary signatures to the petit
tions. The petitions of the majority
of the resident land owners is re-
quired in order to form pest district
The petition will be circulated among
the growers during the week of July
22nd 1t is felt there will be no trou-
BILE whatever in getting the required
number of signers.
;ct,~ i1f u~il1 include n
the orchard land about Canon City, in
cluding the city of Canon City and
the towns of East and South Canon.
The county commissioners have
tn epower to enforce the law. Those
who do not obey may have their
orchards sprayed by the pes inspector
and the costs will be charged to the
property and may be collected as
taxes. 1t is felt there will be little
need of law enforcement, for all pro-
gressive growers realize that spraying
is absolutely necessary for success in
fruit growing.
A number of growers are going to
spray this fall. This fall spraying is
unusual, but generally weather con-
ditions are better for spraying in the
fall than they are in the spring. Also
there is more time for doing the work
in the fall. Still another good reason
for fall spraying is that the results
may be checked by sending a few
specimens of twigs containing egg
masses from sprayed trees to the En-
tomological Department of the Col
lege. They will put the masses un-
der Matching conditions and report
to the grower the per cent of hatch
of the eggs. Thus a check can be se-
cured on the effectiveness of the
spraying. Prof. c. p Gillette of the
Agricultural College states that there
is no good reason why fall spraying
should not be successful The oil
dealers are planning on getting in
shipments of oil this fall for those
who care TO spray at that time.

THE couNTRY-WiDE+A APPLE
PROSPECTS.
,eciaI Commercial Apple Crop
Report July, 1918.


Report July. 1918.
Comparing the July forecast OF 25,-
Ill 900 barrels for 1918 with the iinal
figure OF last year. 22,419.00O barrels.
it is seen that this years crop prom
ises to be about Is per cent larger
than last year. due largely to good
crop in estern New York. The west
ern boxed apple crop will fall about
5000 cars short of last year this diff
ference being partly explained by a
very light crop in Idaho. Other west
ern s.a,rs s,tow slight reduction. A
decrease is also reported throughout
the middle western states. although
the Michigan crop. given at 80 per
cent as com iared with 25 per cert
last year will partly make up for
this difference.
The government estimates that the
apple yield in Fremont county will not
exceed 225 cars. The western slope
apple crop is estimated at about 2500
cars, of which 1900 is credited to the
Grand Junction district, as compared
with 1000 cars in 1917. This year 300
cars are forecast for Montrose county
and $50 for Delta. The latter county
shipped 800 cars in 1917. The quail
ity and size OF the apple are better

representation in the halls Of Con-
gress and a democratic legislature.
Whether 1t has changed from the
wet to the dry column of states re-
mains in doubt early today. with the
wets leading by more than $1,000
votes, with more than three-f1fths OF
the precincts having been tabulated.
With the exception. however, of a few
precincts all Of the wet strongholds
have been heard from. and dry lead
ers still contended that returns from
the rural districts will wipe out what
they claim is temporary majority.
James NJ. Cox has been returned
Governor of Ohio for the third time.
He was opposed for the third time by
Frank B. Willis, who defeated him
four years ago, and whom he defeated
two years ago. With a few more than
$500 out of the 5.706 precincts to be
heard from he has a majority over the
republican nominee of more than 30,-
900 votes. and the complexion Of the

chance of Willis overcoming this lead.
