METHODISTS TOLD
TO DO SOMETHING
THAT IS SENSATIONAL
r. T. BURGE, MISSIONARY, SAYS
CHURCH MUST KEEP PACE
WITH WORLD, WHICH is DOING
THINGS DIFFERENTLY NOW, on
FALL HoPELESSLY BEHIND.
Effort and Sacrifice at This Tins
to Christianize World and
Present Arms.

Plans of the Methodist Episcopal
Church, South, indicate that their field
of work will greatly broaden in the
aext few months and will include
Europe and Russia. THE Methodist
Church has been plodding along fol
many years and has made a record
that every Methodist is justly proud
Of" said R. T. Burge, Of the Siberian
Commission of the American Red
Cross, in a letter from Vladivostocs
that has just been received at head
quarters in Nashville.
TT is time, however, for the Meth
odist Church 10 do something sensa
tional and unusual All the world Is
doing things differently now and the
organization that cannot keep pace
must fall behind We should go into
the countries of Europe and Russia
be pioneers in a work that might mean
more to prevent future wars than the
League Of Nations. Christianize and
educate the peoples of the world and
there will be no more wars. But II
we have harmony by threats and feai
and by constant show of force, | see
no reason why it might not be another
question of "a scrap of paper
"But it would be madness to at
tempt any work in Siberia or Russia
at this time. No complete or inteilf
gent investigations can be made until
ORDER is restored. and from what
have seen it will be months before
that task is accomplished. The cam
paign for thirty-five million dollars to
be conducted May Is to rs will &c
a long way toward solving a big prob
lem.
Keep in mind always that the com
prex!on of the world has entirely
changed and that not only must there
be complete reorganization in eco
nomic, political and social conditions
hut most particularly in religious con
ditions."

HAVE YOU EVER
ENPERIMENTED WITH
IRRIGATED PASTURES!

II is stated by those who have test
ed it, that irrigated pastures in Colo
Tado will support two cows to the acre.
While that may sound cNtravagent,
we believe It can be done. If the night
mixture Of grasses is planted and
proper care taken TO divide the field
30 that one portion can be given a
goo growing start while the rest is
being grazed. Think, however, what
that means to the dairy business.
Twenty acres Of good pasture would
then support forty cows for six
months. It Is expensive to get such
pastures in operation, since they can
not be used much the first season, but
they are coming more and more into
use. We do not know Of any section
Of Colorado where better or more re-
numerative pastures can be raised
than right here in this county. To be
sure our season is not so long as at
other points, but the grasses grow
luXuriantly, and doubtless the cool
climate is more favorable to certain
Of the best pasture grasses, than the
hotter lowlands.
II any Of the ranchmen have had
experiences with irrigated pastures,
News-Champion would like to pub
lish some account Of 1t.

COW PEAS NOT ADAPTED
TO COLORADO
Cannot Stand Cool Temperatures and
Frosts-Should Not BE Confused
With Field Peas.

The editor took occasion to ask
Professor kezer, Agronomist of the
Colorado Experiment Station, Can
COW peas be grown in Colorado ~
He replied, Owing to the fact that
field peas, known in some places as
Canadian field peas, are so success
fully grown in some of our Colorado
high attitudes, many people become
confused as to the difference between
field peas and COW peas. Field peas
are well adapted to Colorado high al
tltude conditions. Cow peas, how
ever, are an entirely different crop.
The COW pea is really a bean, and is
just asssensitive to cool temperatures
and frosts as the common beans
grown in Colorado. The COW pea is
a southern crop, adapted to the south.
One or two of the very earliest-ma-
turing, short-season varieties may be
grown in certain sections in the Ar
kansas Valley. Outside of this linn
tied region COW peas are not adapted
at all for Colorado growing. They
may be developed SO that new va
rieties, bred up by selection and cross
ing, might be created, adapted for the
hotter valleys like the Uncompaghre,
the Grand and the Arkansas, but of
the varieties now known, there are
none which are really well adapted"

WESTERN SLOPE STOCkMEN

Grand JunctiOn:-StOcicmen from
all sections Of the Western Slope are
expected 10 attend the special con
f. renee Al Salt Lake City, July 81, for
the purpose Of agreeing upon the best
method Of protecting grazing land on

The idea Is 10 have Congress pass
legislation placing proper regulation
upon grazing lands sand r. j. Mat
thcws OF the Delta County livestock
association. 1T IS probable that the
conference will ask that II be turned
over TO the control OF the forest ser
vice and conducted by that department
in the same manner that national
forests are protected
II Is stated that there are Thousands
and thousands of acres of grazing
land in Delta, Mesa, Gunnison, Gar
field and other counties of this section
that are rapidly being destroyed.
Under the present laws all public
property outside the forest reserve is
merely q free-for-all, and in consequ-
ence It is declared, there is no system
and what Is taken out is not put back
Numerically headed toward eventual

JUGGLING THE RAILROAD
RATES ON STOCK SHIPMENTS

The controversy over live stock
rates TO Denver and for thru transit
to the river, altho sold at Denver, is
still raging. The committee which
went to Washington to confer with
Chairman Chambers Of the L. S.
Railway Administration Traffice
Board. learned that the railroads pro-
pose to abolish the changed of own
ership in transit all right, but prom
Use more equitable freight rates to
Denver. AS a matter Of fact this will
mean n raise to river points, larger
than to Denver, for a raise in freight
rates is undoubtedly on the boards.
There is no more reason by which the
railroads or the government should
object to the sale of stock in transit
than there is TO object to your selling
to John Jones at Denver a passenger
fare ticket you bot to Kansas City;
that is, no reason in right, justice or
reason, but these mean nothing to the
railroads. They conjure up all sorts
of alleged reasons in order to hold up
the public, and by this means rouse
antagonism and further diminish rev.
enue.
II is true that by enforcing the
abolition of sale of stock in transit it
will help the Denver packing houses,
which perhaps accounts for the rea-
son the stockmen can get no action
on the administration. A press dis
patch of Tuesday says.
As result of the decision of the
administration alone, local
stockmen say that the packing indus
try in Denver should be doubled in
the next few years. Both the stock
grower and the market man are ex-
pected to benefit greatly by the de-
creaSes.
Manager Shoemaker of the Denver
company, President Ben
kemper of the Denver Livestock ex-
change, and Charles Clayton and w.
A. Snyder, Denver delegates in Wash
ington to protest against the raise in
rates on cattle, will remain pending
further conferences.
Fred Wilde of the Denver transpor-
tation committee has been called to
Washington to advise Mr.. Chambers
on cuts inrates.

MAKING FOX TAIL INTO
SILAGE Is SUGGESTED

Field and Farm
The foxtail pest is one of the alfal-
a-grower's biggest troubles. To get
rid of this internal nuisance is next
to impossible in many sections, espec-
tally in old fields where it has estab-
lished itself. Despite cultivation the
foxtail will come up in the spring and
just as cool weather holds the alfalfa
back it gives the foxtail its chance to
grow for cool, damp ground is just
what it needs to make growth. The
result is that the first cuttings of hay
in most alfalfa fields are foul with the
foxtail, which in its ripened or almost
ripened state animals will not eat.
Unless forced to it they will often re-
fuse the alfalfa with which the fox
tail is mixed. Immense quantities Of
the first crop of alfalfa are there
fore not worth making into hay, and
in seasons when hay has been cheap
many farmers have cut their field,
dried their crop and set a match to it.
This is about the only thing to do
when once the foxtail has taken pos
session of the field. We are getting
into a serious stage of food produc-
ton when the match is not permis-
sable on crops after they have once
made their growth. Some other
methods must be followed. If we can
not stop the foxtail, why not find a
way to utilize it, some way in which
the irritating awns can be made in
to valuable feed instead of injuring
the animals that would eat it. The
silo is the means by which this is be-
ing accomplished. This is being done
by many dairymen. Foxtail makes
good ensilage by itself, and when
mixed with alfalfa is still better. So
why not use it this way and get nd
Of It?

The first enumeration of silos in

Kansas has started harvesting her

Never in the history of the state has

the United States could be fed for
year on the flour made from wheat
grown on the farms of one western
