THE FARMER AND THE FUTURE.

The great war has served to call
general attention to the supreme Inn
portance Of agriculture. The farmer
controls the political ~ well ~ the
vital destiny Of many nations. II

governments Of the allies. including
our own. The dignity Of the Amsri.
can farmer il realised by the urban
population a never before In the
history Of the world, and respect and
appreciation for him and for his pa
triotism are breaking all records.

farmer should check. II not complete

SPRAYED BEET TOPS
AND FEEDING PURPOSES.

A farmer from Greeley asks per-
tinent question: "Will beet tops
that have been sprayed for web worm
be safe to feed sheep this fall"? The
facts which inspired this query are
as follows: After sbeets had been
sprayed there came very heavy rain
storm. The field drained into = res
ervoir. A few days later dead fish
in large numbers, and a few turtles,
were found ashore and the conclu-
sion was that they had been poison
ed from the parisgreen washed down
from the beet field. Now the ques-
ton naturally arises: "Will beet tops
that have been sprayed be safe to
feed cattle and sheepf"
Several reports have come to the
college Of animals that have been
poisoned on alfalfa cut In orchards
where the trees had been sprayed
with arsenite of lead On the other
hand, we eat the fruit Of trees that
have been sprayed and In Utah they
are feeding alfalfa that has been
sprayed for the alfalfa wesvil, and
no bad results have followed, Arscn-
ical sprays wash off easily and In
this fact we probably find solution
to the question. Between the time
Of spraying the beets, and feeding
the tops In the fall. there Ia almost
sure to be one or more storms. But
suppose It happens to be dry year
and the storms do not come, will II be
safe to feed the beet tops? This
question Is being discussed among
sheep and cattle feeders this fall md
those who should be considered the
best authority hesitate to make
definite answer. It will no doubt be
safe this fall but some years Au-
gust and September are very dry
months-how about Il theni-Geo.

COUNTY COMMISSIONERS
MAKE TOUR OF INSPECTION

County Commissioners Cruise,
johnson and Downes, made trip of
inspection over the Golden Gate and
Crawford gulch roads Monday.
These were the roads that were so
badly damaged by the big flood of
last summer, and altho everything
has been done To get the damage re-
paired, the work has of necessity
been slow. In many places the en-
tire road entertainments were taken
out and It has been necessary to
build up retaining walls of concrete.
However, once the work is all fin
ished, the road will be in much bet
ter shape than ever before. Ernest
Koch has gang in Golden gate and
is doing fine job, while John
Wickstrom is to be in charge Of the
work in Crawford gulch.-Trans-

to lose suitcase out of the truck
containing about $1,000 worth of
clothes belonging to both.

VALUATIONS IN TEN SCECCE.
DISTRICTS MADE LOWER
(From Transcript)


County Taxpayers will find much
to interest them in a tabulated re-
port just completed by County AS,
SCISSOR ]. w. Klein showing the val.
uations as set for the various schoo'
districts.
The greatest changes are, found
in those districts which take in the
property occupied by the Denver
Union Water Company. As the
property Of the Water Company has
been purchased by the City of Den
vsr, and rs municipal property it is
exempt from taxation, the valuat-
ticns Of those districts are lowered
considerable extent. Nine dis
tricts in all are affected by the
change, being districts Nos. 8, 15,
IL, Is, 81, %. "a, 81 and 10.
Because Of this change the val
uation Of district No. is lowered
from $2,o57,oe0 to $l,9s6,5s0. A
greater reduction than this would
have been made had not the assess
ors placed valuations on a large
number Of range cattle which are
grazing there this year. District Is
is reduced by the sum Of $40;
district 1s by $22,130; district 10
by $1s,6s0: district 81 by $500;
district % by t1s,77O; district "a
by $s00.S27O; district 81 by $780,
$50 and district 40 by ss4s,76O. In
district 81 the valuation is lowered
by the resurvey Of the C. IS. rail
way, which places large portion of
the track in district 10. Valuation
Of the water company's property was
placed at the handsome sum of
three and ahalf million dollars, so
it can easily be seen how the re-
moval Of this large sum, heretofore
levied upon for taxes, Il going to af-
feet the taxpayers In Jefferson
County. However, II is gratifying
to know that the entire three and
ons-half millions Is not to come off
the total county valuation, a. the as
SCISSORS have, by locating new prop
critics, cattle, ETC., brought the valu-
alton up to $2l,134.s00, as against
e29. %0a, 200 last year. q there is n
reduetier Of only t9;3Se ,seesA ~
In those school districts directly
affected by tho loss Of the water
company taxes, It will be necessary
to make . substantial increase in
the school levy. The other school
district lsvies will probably remain
substantially the same. unless the
boards find more money will be
needed next year.
Tho county End state levies last
year were GIT, and this year Asses
sor Klein estimates that they will be
tut 1880. Golden's levy
year was IS mills and this year an
increase in the city levy Of chi"
mills will bring in about $4,000
moro money. The vnlro'i~r -

$4,000 employees. During no accident
week last year there were nine ia

MONEY AND
LIVES GIVEN
Forty.Five Women Nurses Of Francs
Lost Their Lives on Field Of
Battle or In Hos

PARIS, (By Mail.) - Forty-five
women nurses of the rUnion des
Femmes de France lost their lives
either on the field of battle, in bonn
barded hospitals or as the result Of
diseases contracted in their work, dur.
ing the course Of the war, according tn
the final report of the society on its
entire war activities.
The "Union des Femmes de France"
corresponds very much to the Ameri-
can Red Cross, except that its men,
hership Is limited entirely to women
and all of the work carried on during
the war was done purely by women,
with no material or manual help from
men and very little financial help out
side Of money raised by the women
members themselves.
The final report Of the society is
therefore remarkable tribute to the
role played by the French women in
the Red Cross part of the war.
Out of total of 10000 members
Gall women) over 10000 dedicated
their entire time to the various estab-
lishments founded and conducted by
the society during the war. These
included 365 auxiliary hospitals, and
scores of nurseries, dispensaries, SOL
diers homes and canteens, schools for
the re-education of mutilated soldiers,
and tuberculosis camps.
Over 10000 members of the society
served as nurses and it was amongst
these that the entire casualty list of
As members was recruited
The society raised by It's own ef-
forts and expended some 95.O00,0Ut
francs 9,000,000), an average of
over 5000 for eacn member OF rRe
society.
