BACTERIA CAUSE COLORS
FREQUENTLY SEEN IN MILK
Abnormal Shades Frequently produc.
ed by Tiny Organisms.

"A great number Of different bac-
terra produce during growth and de-
vclopmcnt varied colOrs or pigments"
says Vim. II. Fcldman, Of the State
Agricultural College. when organ
isms of this type, thru lack Of the pro-
per sanitary precautions find their
way into the milk, they come in con-
tact with very satisfactory medium
for growth with the result that the
milk frequently takes on an abnormal
tingc Of color, the explanation of
which is not always clear to the farm
cr and dairyman.
Red or bloody milk, which is often
thought to be due to an injured teat
or uddcr, is in most instances due to
a specific bacterium called the bacillus
prodigiosus. Likewise, blue, yellow
and brown milk may be caused by
organisms capable of producing these
pigments. Yeasts may also be re-
sponsible for certain colors in mix"

MILLION MORE PEOPLE
Plans Being Made for Great Cam
plign to Double Colorado's Popuia-
tiOn

The Agricultural and Live Stock
bureau Of the Denver Civic & Com
m"rC.al association is making plans to
uud.Ttak" a systematic and extensive
campaign to bring million more poo
uIatlon to Colorado. 1t is the history
Of every war that, following the crssa-
ton of hostilJIcs there has been an
enormous turning Of the population
u' tn" conflicting countries back TO the
land. II is believed that this war will
prove no exception and already there
has commenced a demand for agr.cul-
tural lands throughout the west. In
addition 10 this. Secretary a0r Of .he
department OF the interior, is pushing
plans to dispose ~ the II maluIng pub
Lc lands. suItahl. for agriculture or
1--we stock to the soldiers returning
rom the war.
!: is planned to unite the Agrirultu-
raj College Extension Service, all the
commercial bodies of the state, county
agents and the State Board OF
Agricultural and Livestock Bureau in
great combined effort, conducted
along systematic lines to settle all
of the vacant areas in Colorado. The
plan will be financed thru the Denver
association and the State Board OF
immigration, and has every prospect
of success. Meetings will be held
during the Farmers Congress at Fort
Collins, the week of December 9th
and at the big Stock Show in Denver
during the week of January 1s
1t is believed that the opportunity is
now. Other states are considering
similar campaigns, and with the pres
ent bright outlook for live stock and
agriculture in this state, there is nc
reason why many thousands of new
settlers cannot be brought to this
state. Denver is enthusiastic over the
proposition, believing that building up
the state will eventually build Denver

$4,000. 900 For Colorado Roads.

Plans for the $4,000, 900 bond issue
which viii be asked of the state legis-
lature next January, do not include an
increase in direct taxes of any kind.
Officials of the Highway Transport
committee who have charge of this
program, stated that the plan is to
ask for Sl0,000,000 so year Az per
cent bonds. Not only the interest, but
the sinking fund as well can be taken
care of out of the motor car registra-
tions annually received by the state.
Meanwhile roads can be maintained
from the 4 mill levy now in force. In
effect the measure will serve the pur-
pose of taxation. since it is well
known fact that better roads mean
lower costs.

Prices of Hides Officially Set.

The price fixing committees of the
War Industries Board, following an
executive session, called representa-
tives of the packers before them the
latter part of October to discuss the
hide prices.
The packers took the view that no
reduction should be made in the prices
of packer hides for November and
December, and that a reduction Of
one and one-half cents should be made
for January, February and March;
they did not win their point, however.
1t was agreed that the price of
PAGER hides and kips for November
and December should be reduced one
cent, and the price for January two
cents; Also that the, price on coun-
try hides should be reduced three
fourths of cent for November and
December, and one and one-half cents
for January.
The forty-four cent cal skins will
be reduced to forty cents. Horses
hides will remain practically un-
changed.

INFLUENZA HALTS THE
BIG FARMERS CONGRESS

The annual session of the Colorado
Farmers and Farm Women's Con-
gress has been given Up on account of
the Flu situation. The session was
to have been held at the Agricultural
college, Ft. Collins, December 9 to 13.
President Newton c. Dougherty of
Greeley, and Secretary H. T. French,
after comforting with leading mem
bers of the congress have decided that
because of the epidemic it will be un-
wise to proceed further with plans.
Whether or not the session will be
held later this winter is not known at
this writing. 1t will depend entirely
upon the Flu situation and the usual
other factors to be considered.
The necessity of abandoning the ses-
sion will be a source of real regret to
those who planned to attend, for one
of the very best programs ever out
lined for the congress had been pre-
pared, and everything pointed to a
well attended, interesting program.

MADE-IN- N-GERMANY LIES
CIRCULATED In CANADA

Canada is also having trouble with
ade-in-Germany lies calculated to
hinder Canadian food conservation ac-
cording to an official statement re-
ceived from the Canadian food con-
troller by the United States food ad.
ministration.
The stories bothering Canada are
Of the same general character as those
the United States food administra-
tor recently denounced in this coun-
try, such as the ridiculous salt and
blueing famine fakes and the report
that the government would seize
housewives stocks of home canned
goods.
The Canadian food controller eStl-
mates that when the people listen to
and pass on such stories, each one
has the power of destruction that lies
In a battalion of soldiers.
"Stories without even a vestige Of
foundation have been scattered broad
cast" said the Canadian statement
"Nor have they come to life casually.
They have started simultaneously in
different parts or the country ana IN
each instance have been calculated to
arouse public indignation.
"They are insidlous, subtle persist
ent. Bit by bit they dissipate public
trust, the great essential in the work
Of food control.
'It lies with every individual to for
bear from criticism; to refrain from
passing on the vagrant and harmful
story, and thus the more effectively
to cooperate in work which is goint
to mean more than the ma 1ority oi
people yet realize"
