Cox's Fatal Hiunder

IL becomes more apparent every day
that the recent pilgrimage Of Gov. Cox
to the Wilson shrine at Washington.
and his solemn ayowsl of devotion to
the policies OF the President. have
split the ranks of Democracy. Those
who nominated Gov. Cox at San
Francisco thought they were naming
q man with some independence OF mind
and the courage to reach and uphold
his own decisions. When Cox knew
that he Was nominated he should have
become convinced that he was q big
ger man than Wilson in his party
councils. The Wilson candidate had
been defeated at the convention and
Mr.. Cox had won out Instead of
fastening to Washington to receive
his instruction from the President.
Democrats feel that Gov. Cox should
have written MIR. Wilson outlining his
Interpretation Of the party platform
and defining what his stand would be
on the league OF nations issue. Instead
Of that they have witnessed two crins-
ing candidates soliciting an audience
with the deposed herd of their party,
and emerging from the conference pal
pably swestruck by the words of wis
dom they had heard, adopting as their
own the policies Of the repudiated
boss. 1t was a sickening sight TO
those who thought they had picked up
standing men for candidates,

On The Inside

1t may not be generally known, but
it is a fact that should be borne In
mind. that Samuel Gompers' son has
been very tenderly cared for by the
Democratic administration since II
came into power At the present tims
he is chief clerk of the Department OF
Labor with a salary of $500 per year,
Perhaps that is one Of the reasons
Why this celebrated father is such q
staunch Democrat. Ostensibly & non
partisan. and with his thoughts cent
cred on the laboring man regardless OF
partisan politics, the elder Gompers is
one OF the most steadfast supporters
thct Mr.. Wilson ever had. Not since
the present campaign for the Presi-
dency started has Mr. Gompers had
anything but praise for Cox and his
platform, or anything but criticism for
the Republican platform and its can
didate And that will be his attitude
to the end.-Ex.

STACK WHEAT IF ELEVATORS
CANNOT HANDLE Tx EZEK
Stacking Improves Quality of Grain
and Requires Only Labor While Any
Other Form of Storage Requires In
sestment in Storage Equipment
Crop VIII Keep Indefinitely Ia This
Climate.

So many inquiries have come ia
concerning what TO do with the wheat
crop when it cannot be handled at the
regular markets because the elevators
are full and cars cannot be obtained.
that the editor asked Professor KeZer
of the Colorado Agricultural College
how 10 best store the crop.
Professor Kezer replied that prob
ably the cheapest and best method, un-
der the circumstances. was to stack
the grain. Well stacked grain will
keep indefinitely in this climate and
rather improve in quality. Stacking
requires only labor. Many other form
OF storage requires investment in the
storage unit, such as the building OF
galvanized iron bins or the building
OF lumber granaries.
The first cost on galvanized iron
bins or lumber granaries will be at
least 90 cents bushel.
OF course this first cost should not
be wholly assessed against this crop
if such storage is used, But frac
ton of this expense, namely, the in
terest and depreciation. must be asses
sed against the crop as part of the
cost.
Where grain has been harvested with
a combined harvester some sort of
storage is necessary. If stored in bags
on platforms in the open, the plat
forms should be protected by quarter
inch mesh screen to keep out rats and
mice However. grain stored in stacks
can be marketed any time the market
is ready. providing threshing ma
chine can be obtained Our Colorado
growers haven't got in the habit OF
stacking, but it would be beneficial
from the standpoint OF storage fall
farm operations and the quality of the
grain

EVEN BREAK
Lamar Team Plays Two Old Rivals
and Gets a Fifty-Fifty Break.

Only two teams in the valley have
shown class enough this season to be
placed as real rivals Of the Lamar
team and the Lamar boys played both
Of them the past week and the result
was an even break with the valley
championship still in the air.
Lamar showed class above Fort
Lyon but was decisively defeated by
Ordway, but Fort Lyon recently de-
feated the latter team 30 it still leaves
the question an open one and probably
will not be settled unless all enter the
state tournament.
On Thursday afternoon the Fort
Lyon team came down for 3 game on
the local diamond and a large crowd
turned out to see these old time rivals
cross bats once more. Good fielding
on the part of the Lamar team and
weak batting by the Fort boys held
their score down, while at the same
time the Lamar sluggers were piling
up runs at rapid rate. The game
was almost as one-sided as the game
with Las Animas the previous Sunday
and the final score was 10 to 4.
On Sunday the Lamar team with
many car loads of visitors journsyed
up to Ordwsy to again take up the
championship argument with that
strong team. but another story was TO
tell there. After getting away to a
good start with two scores-both home
runs-to their credit and none for Ord
way. the Lamar boys blew up when the
bases were filled on them and let six
runs get over before they again came
down to earth. With that exception
II was a good game and the final score
stood 8 to in favor of Ordway. It
was a great disappointment to the
many fans who made the long trip
In the firm belief that the Lamar boys
were going to even up the old score
with ordway.

GENERAL COLORADO NEWS

Nearly complete reports received BY
the State Immigration Department
from county sssessors show that the
ares In cultivation In Colorado this
year Is slightly In excess Of 6.O0O. 900
acres, exclusive Of orchards, compared
With . total of 4,7s6. 1872 acres report
ed in cultivation by county assessors
last year. These figures include the
area devoted to wild hay. amounting
TO about 260, 900 acres each year.
The largest increases in cultivated
acreage this year are in the areas de
voted to winter wheat and corn. with
considerable increases in acreage OF
sorghum crops and moderate increases
in alfalfa acreage. The reports OF
county assessors show that something
more than $4,000 acres Of raw land
was broken for the first time this year
compared with about $4,000 acres
broken last year.
Some idea OF the rapid increase be-
Ing made Ia the cultivated acreage OF
the state may be gathered from com
parison Of the acreage cropped this
year compared with that reported by
the census bureau for 1903. That year
the total acreage harvested, according
to the census report, was 2,2bS, ,l9o
ssres, including wild hay but not in
ciudinS orchards. The acreage il cui-
tivation this year is slightly more thai
double that reported by the census
bureau for 1909.
The largest increases In acreage
made by any crops in this period have
been for wheat and corn. In 1909 the
area devoted to wheat was about 3IO.-
600 acres. This year the reports OF
county assessors show total Of more
than l,S50,00O acres devoted TO the
crop. The census bureau showed about
326, 900 acres devoted to corn for grain
in 1903, while reports of county asses
sors SHOW more than 1,250, 600 acres
devoted to corn in the state this year.
Of which amount perhaps 10 per cent
will be harvested for grain. while the
remainder will be cut for silage or fod-
der or hogged off. Four counties ia
the state, Yuma, Morgan, Weld and
Kit Carson, have fully $4,000 acres of
corn this year more than was reported
for the entire state in 1909, while three
counties. Logan. Washington and fu-
ma, have more than 100000 acres OF
wheat in excess of that reported for
the entire state in 1909. The area In

them to a tiger. Climbing a tree he
cried until his mammie found him and
sang him to sleep with one Of his ia
