Various Crops
SOY BEANS

Many inquiries have been made
about the adaptibility of the Soy bean
for growing in the county and Prof,
Kezer of the Agricultural College
says the same is true about other
parts OF the state. -
Prof. Kezer says regarding the Soy
bean: We have experimental with
Soy beans in Colorado. for more than
eight years. OF the varieties which
are now in existence and which have
been grown in the United States.
none are well adapted to :. Colorado
conditions. -
At Ft. Collins in eight years we have
only been able to mature two of the
earliest varieties and even these two
early maturing varieties could only be
matured two years out of eight. The
other six years the season was too
cool and too short. Soy beans might
be grown in the hotter portions of
the south eastern part of the state.
1t is quite possible that varieties will
be developed by breeding >and selec
ton which will be adapted to great
er acreage but of the varieties now.
in existence there are none well adap
ted to the state. Consequently the
soy bean cannot be recommended as
a crop for Colorado growing.

TO all Coal.
Consumers

( The United States Fuel Admins
tration has, designated the week of
June Bird to sth as early ordering
week. Y
II may appear to the average Can
on citizen that early ordering of coal
is not necessary. but knowing the
coal situation as wa do. we feel 1t
our duty to warn our people OF the
danger of a coal shortage in this coun-
ty. and we wish to impress upon you
some of the reasons why there will
be a coal shortage.
The United States Fuel Admins
tration found II necessary to divide
the county into zones and has for,
hidden the shipment OF coal from Ilii-
nois and eastern states, Hest of the
Missouri river. thereby creating
new territory that Colorado must sup
ply in Nebraska and Kansas which
will use 100000 tons OF coal
On account OF the war many min
ers have enlisted for the service,
leaving the mines short of miners.
Out OF the 100000 extra tons that
Colorado must produce to take care
OF this new territory. over their 1917
production. only 100000 extra tons
was produced in the first four months
of 1918. leaving 100000 extra ions
TO be produced in the next eight
months and under the above con
dItions. you can readily see that II
will be physical impossibiiiiy.
therefore many consumers are liable
TO be short OF coal next winter
Hence we urge you TO give this mat
ter your careful attention; place an
order with your dealer today and in
any event. not later than June $.
