Grass-HOpper Meeting

Forty men from the pest district,
met with the County Agent, who is
acting as Pest Inspector, at Ovid, las
Friday night. Prof. Charles R. Jones,
Of the chronological Department of
the Colorado Agricultural College,
gave talk on the eradication of the
grass-hopper in Colorado. Prof.
Jones has had several years expert
ence in grass-hopper work, and has
met with considerable success in eradi
eating this pest. He was very active
in the grass-hopper campaign in the
San Luis valley in 1910.
At this meeting, plans for the grass
hopper campaign were outlined, and
definite work started. Eighteen men
were selected as district overseers,
who have charge of about two sections
of land each. They are responsible
to the County Pest Inspector for the
work done in their community, and
in turn, the land owner or agent, in
their particular district is RESPONSE
BILE to them for the work on their
farms. The cooperation of every
land owner and corporation owning
land in this pest district is essential
to the killing of the grass hoppers
this year. The land owners, the
ditch company, the railroad company,
and the Board of County Commission
ers, have all given their approval of
the plans, and everything possible to
put stop to the grass-hopper menace
will be done. Every acre of alfalfa
which will stand cultivation, all road
sides, fence rows, ditch banks and
laterals will be cultivated or renov-
ated before April 1st, to destroy the
eggs, which are now in the ground

OF money that takers and gamblers
offer for the privilege of swindling

should own its own grounds and per
manont buildings. Substantial build

You would like to see Sedgwick

County Fair

County FAR ~
What does a county fair do for a
community? Is it of any value to the
peo1,o VINO exhibit? How should the
fair be organized? Thee are Few
of the important questions that are
usually uppermost in The minds of peo-
lie when the season for county fairs
oils around.
To begin with, when the county fair
las been held and properly handled
they Lave proven great success witt
out doubt, as can be seen by the inr-
rovement of crops, live stock, roads,
homes, gardens, schools and every
other phase of country life where its
influence has reached.
1t brings together for comparison
the best of the land in crops, live
stock, and every line of pursuit which
the people ere interested in. We live
in Sedgwick county, because we like
her climate, her soil, her people, her
opportunities, and the county fair is
the proper place where we can show
to the surrounding country their priv
leges and opportunities. 1t is the one
thing that will bring our county the
industrious people, those who have the
ambition and the vision of better
community, better schools, and better
community products. Every county
needs people who are anxious to Sc
cure the greatest possible development
Of its resources, and the county fair
will bring to us outside visitors whc
have the inspiration and ideals Of a
better community life, and by such
assimilation VIII como the best neigh
bors, farmers, merchants and orofes-
sional people.
The value of 4 fair to the exhibitor
cannot he estimated in dollars and
cents. The exhibition of produc:
from ore con murity AGAINST the pro-
ducts of dozen other communities,
will create friendly rivalry, and in
ject stimulus in the veins of the en-
hibitor which will send him home with
higher ideals and greater ambition to
raise better crops and produce bet
to- live stock, and after all, it is that
ki.:d Of citizenship which will i'm
prove our rural life m all of its
phases.
The organization, to be most eff
fective, should be legal body of rep
resentative citizens of the county,
with full authority for conducting the
business of the association. An as
sured income is necessity if the fair
is to do its work effectively and eff
ficiently, and expand as the needs Of
the community develop. State or
county aid, or both is essential in any
system of fair organization that is to
serve the people, and to improve their
methods. The lack of sufficient in
come is responsible for the presence
of most Of the Objectionable features
admitted to fairs at present, and for
the consequent loss by the fair both

was begun, the management announc-
ed that the square deal policy would
prevail, and it certainly has, from
start to finish. The candidates have
been most fair to each other, judging
from reports that come from the pap
er, and the management has been very
careful to give an equal chance to win
to all the candidates. No favoritlsm
has been shown to anyone at any time
during the entire campaign, each re-
ceiying the same assistance as the

Those who were determined to win,

Great care was taken in counting,
and every means to secure accuracy
was taken. The final count was made
by four disinterested men and was en-
tirely satisfactory to all concerned, for
these men had no other motive in the
matter but to accept the invitation of
the candidates and the management to
make complete and fair count of all
the votes cast, which they did. Every
ballot was carefully scrutinized by the
Judges and those present expressed
themselves as highly pleased with the
manner of arriving at the result. Nip
and tuck, the candidates had fought
for the last six weeks, each ballot add
ing to the interest of the campaign
and the result was in doubt until the
Judges had counted the last vote and
announced the result.
Everybody in this section was guess

opinion was hardly expressed before

Attention Should be Paid 10 Deliveries

The report of the special beet sugar
commission appointed by Herbert
Hoover, was made public by the food
administration last Fradiy. Accord
ing I'd W. D. Hoover of the Great
Western Sugar company, the terms
granted to farmers are more liberal
than the sugar companies have been
paying. The commission places 50 a
ton as the minimum price for beets
with II to IA per cent sugar content,
butts adds that minimum of $40
probably will be found necessary to
ret the production to full normal
acreage. The seventh article of the
ten in the report states that it may
be necessary for the government to
assist in finding harvest labor
The average cost, to the witnesses
Questioned under oath, is $50 an acre,
the report states. but disclaims that
it is an accurate standard because of
the variety of conditions. The aver
age net return on a acre producing
an average of lA.39 tons is $12.lS,
says the report. but the average of
northern Colorado is only twelve tons,
wherefore production and sale at the
average price must be done at net
loss of 50 or SO.
The commission making the report
consisted of Judge John C. Bell, Mont
rose; Alfred o. Edwards, Fort Col
Inns; Albion KeZer. Fort Collins; Perce
Dunlavy, Trinidad and B. ID. Parker,
Julesburg.
Comparison of the commissions fig
ures with the price the Great West

pay for its 1918 crop show the follow
ing results:

The full report is:
First-That it is impossible to find
the cost of producing sugar beets in

because of the number of variables en-

diseases, weather, etc.
The Cost of Witnesses
Second-That the average cost of
the witnesses according to the sworn
testimony is $92 per acre. The aver
age returns are $104.48, giving an
average net return of $12.48 on an
verage yield of 14.39 tons, which yield
is little over two tons greater than
