SUGAR BEET SEED.

The scarcity Of sugar beet seed is
known to everyone who has attempted
to purchase seed. Much of our good
sugar beet seed has come from Ger
many. Since the war we have had to
raise our own seed and like many OF
the new Industries that we have been
compelled to enter. 1t will take time
to become established.
Mr.. w. w. Tracy of the Department
of Agriculture. stationed at Rocky
Ford, has been in the county distrib-
uting beets to the growers about Can
on City. In order to keep the seed
pure only one beet was given to each
grower The beets planted were Gagged
for protection. Many of these little
cages are objects of curiosity and
have caused many a passer to stop
and investigate.
The beet is planted for the seed.
MIR. Tracy reports that one of the
highest terminating test beet seed
came from Canon City last year. and
he believes that this section is espe-
cialIy well adapted climatically to the
production of high terminating test
beet seed. Growing all kinds OF vege-
tables for seed has bright future in
this county.

all their time TO forming and fostering
pig clubs.
In the county there are clubs at
Hillside. Penrose, Wetmore, Florence

NOT ONE MORE BUSHEL
OF GRAIN FOR BEER VA1S

Governor Capper's Demand for War
time Prohibition--From an Address
Delivered April II. at Larned.
We now are fighting a dry Germany
There Ia no argument AZ any time In
favor of retaining the saloon. But
there Is every argument in wartime
for putting It out Of business. In
Germany. the'kaiser has abolished the
brewery and saloon for the war But
today in America they are his best
friends and mightiest allies. for they
waste our food and destroy our man
power.
Last year we made gelions Of beer
to Germany's I. This year our brew
es will manufacture so million bar
rels OF beer but Cermany's brewer
les will make none. No beer will be
made in Germany this year. but our
beer watts will continue to waste our
national strength.
The brewers OF America are great
er traitors than our greediest profit
eers. They would encourage every
one Of our million and quarter
young soldiers to become habitual
drinkers. They would deliver the ma
tion up to the enemy for the money
there Ia in the liquor traffic.
The government ia asking the good
housewives of this country to cave
food. to economfze in every possible
way-and the breweries use more OF
il in day than the women can save
in year. Enough grain ia wasted to
make more than million ioaves OF
bread daily.
Writing from France to the home
folks In Kansas. Lieut. Clayton Beach
says the poor French and English
have seven vheatless. seven meatiess
and about three eatless days a week.
And while our allies are suffering for
food. while they are appealing TO us
for more foodstuffs that they may keep
more men on the firing line-while
to send them this food means the sac
rifice OF fewer American iiyes-the
breweries are wasting more than 60
million bushels oe grain every IL

Plant Potatoes When Seed is Low

Plant Potatoes When Seed is Low
Priced.
When prices are low nobody sows
nobody but the wiser ones. Many
farmers make It a rule to plant crops
when the price of the seed is low; the
majority, however. plant according to
last seasons market prices. Judging
the potato crop from that basis, pota-
toes will be high and scarce next yer
II Is the advice of men who know to
plant potatoes. Eastern growers can
not secure commercial fertilizer and
high yields are impossible without
them. consequently the Eastern acre
age will be small.
In the mountainous sections of this
state, where the potato ia 30 admir-
ably adapted to the soil and climate
and where II can be grown without
heavy labor and fertilizer expense, the
potato should be grown.
Plant the same acreage. yes, and
increase it just little. The chances
are two to one you will not regret It
