SUDAN GOOD PASTURE
CAUSES POISONING

R. w. Clark. stock specialist OF the
Colorado Agricultural College, is al
ways on the lookout for pointers for
the farmers. Ordinarily he draws
from his own experience but II he
learns something good elsewhere he
passes 1t along He offers the fol-
lowing to readers Of this paper
At the Kansas Agricultural Col
lege. Manhattan. Kansas, Sudan
grass sown June 9Th was ready to
pasture July 10th. Five and four
tenths acres were more than enough
to support six cows until October
1lth. The value of the pasture
above the cost Of feed, for the six
cows. varied per COW from 1858 to
$40.03. The six cows gave return,
from the five and four-tenths acres
of pasture, above cost of feed Of
$1S3.09
A warning is given against danger
of poisonisg. as Sudan grass is a
member OF the sorghum family. The
report states that when the crop is
growing normally, there is very little
danger in poisoning" The matter is
worth investigating.
Faruers interested in this expert
ment should write for Circular No.

1t was to hear her talk Of her youth.
She vowed that she sang as the

Covent Garden, not hand was
raised to greet her But she sang.
And then 1t was as II the house had

Later Patti went to st. Petersburg.
They strewed the stage with roses
and camellas for her to walk on,
and gave her diamonds and pearls

Script or Print Writinq2

There Is q movement In England TO
abolish script writing and replace 1t
by print writing. The characters used
In the proposed system are the ordl-
nary printed letters known as the Ro-
man block letters with the exception
of "a" and "g," which are simplified
into their script forms. Print char.
acters were used centuries ago by
monks before script writing became
the fashion. Advocates of the pro
posed reform claim that It has many
advantages over ordinary handwrit.

learns much more quickly. Many Brit
ish educational authorities favor print
writing and 1t is taught In numerous
British schools. There is no wns If

letters. and superlluous loops and

BRIDGE BONDS ARE
PROFERED FOR Weld
$5,000,000 BRIDGE BOND ISSUE
PROPOSED FOR WELD COUNTY

III plans now under consideration
by county authorities mature the peo-
pie of Weld County may be asked to
vote on proposed bond issue OF
eS5,O0O.000 this fall, for the purpose
of permanent bridge construction.
The tentative plan is the result OF an
investigation made by John r.
Wortham, county road and bridge
superintendent, which disclosed the
following facts:
Weld county has total Of 6.750
miles OF road, Of which eight-tenths
of mile is concrete, 237 miles are
grayeled, 1850 are graded and
4,S42 are as nature made them. In
addition the county has 67 wooden
bridges of from 100 to GOO feet In
length over the larger streams of the
county, aggregating $3.50 feet In
length, and 2,136 wooden bridges OF
from 6 to 60 feet in length, aggre-
eating 10000 feet, making a total
of more than ten miles of wooden
bridges The county spends annu-
ally in maintaining and repairing
these bridges from $35,000 to $780,
900, and even with this expenditure
they are far from safe in many in
stances, and in Mr.. Wortham's opin-
ion, will not last more than five or
six years at the most.
The estimated cost OF building
new wooden bridges to replace thes
new wooden bridges to replace these
and that amount will not build them
permanently but will give them q
life of not more than about 20 years
under the constantly increasing traf-
iicburdens imposed on them. While
$5,000,000 may not provide concrete
bridges in all cases. II is believed
that 1t will do so in most cases and
in the remaining cases will build
concrete piers and substructures on
which wooden beds can be laid for
the present and concrete beds added
when needed at reasonable expense
A serious flood, in Mr.. Worthams
opinion. will wipe out most Of the
wooden bridges standing to-day, as
their piers are weakened by wear and
decay, and in any event complete re-
placement will be necessary within
very few years
Under the plan tentatively pro-
posed, the bonds will be issued as
rapidly as needed or at the rate OF
not more than 81 ,000, 900 year. In

2.i mills the second year, 2.5 mills
the third year and mills the fourth
year and thereafter This levy, sbas-
ed on present valuations, will care
for both principal and interest. re-
firing the bonds at maturity.
No definite decision has been
reached but the county commission
ers and the county road and bridge
superintendent have broached the
matter tentatively so that an express
sion of popular opinion may be Sc
cured.

Proposed Federation Will Be a
Practical Restoration of the
Kerensky Government.
u, S. TO GIVE SUPPORT
New Republic Will Consist of White
Ruthenia, the Entire Ukraine and
All Territory Now Held BY
General Wrangel.

Washington-A new and powerful
federation by which White Ruthenia,
the entire Ukraine, all the Cossack ter
ritory between the sea of Azov and the
Volga, and all the territory now held
by General Wrangel will be organized
into the United States of Russia, will
shortly be announced, it was learned
officially. The territory thus en-
braced includes approximately three
sevenths of European Russia.
The first president of the new repub-
lie, it is expected here, will be Cen
eral Wrangel. He will have approx
mately 100000 troops, the most for
midable army ever assembled to COM
bat Lenin and Trotzky. General
Wrangel will also have the active CO.
operation Of General Seminoff, now
in command of a large force in Siberia.
U. S. inspectors Sent.
So intense is the interest of the Uni
ted States in General Wrangel that it
sent Admiral Newton A. McCully and
Col. W. A. Castle to inspect his entire
front. They have just returned to
Constantinople.
The political result of the proposed
new federation, it was explained in Of
fetal circles here, will be the practical
restoration of the Kerensky govern
ment under a more popular name.
That government is the only one the
United States has recognized since the
days of the car.
Soviet Government Near Collapse.
The United States and the Allies are
convinced that the psychological mo-
ment for the success Of such a fedora
ton has now arrived. The Lenine and
Trotzky government is believed to be
on the verge of collapse.
Information received by this govern
ment indicated that the Russian army,
recently defeated by the Poles, is re-
fusing to fight against General Wran-
gel. The entire soviet forces are said
to be rapidly disintegrating.
That all the great powers are active
ly supporting the proposed new gov
eminent is made clear by the fact that
within the past few days the entire AL.
lied diplomatic corps in Picking has
compelled China to restore Prince Ku-
dacheff, the Kerensky ambassador, to
full power as the official representative
of Russia. This significant move was
made after China had shorn Prince
K%udacheff of all official recognition
and virtually ordered him and all the
other Kerensky officials out of the
country.
Baron Wrangel, it was pointed out,
is a conservative of the conservatives.
He was an officer in the cars army.
Later he supported Kerensky. When
kolchak, an ardent monarchist, was
removed Wrangel succeeded him.
Wrangels only rival for chief execu-
tive of the proposed new republic is
President Petlura of the Ukraine. He
represents peasant class. 1t is under
stood, however, that he is content to
remain in the class over which he now
presides.

Northwest Dock Companies Are
Short For Alleged Failure To
Buy At Lake Erie Ports.
N. W. SUPPLY REDUCED
Coal Companies Must Keep Docks
Cleared or interstate Commerce
Commission Viii Cancel Prior.
ity Order, Says MCGEE.

Washington-Failure of Northwest
Dock companies to buy coal at Lake
Erie ports has held dumpings It these
ports to less than $500 cars for the
first three days of the week or more
than 1900 behind the schedule, &C
coTding to a report made to the Amer
lean Car service commission by Her
nan Griggs, commission, representa-
tive at Cleveland.
Dock Companies Blamed.
At the same time, Mr.. Griggs re-
ported 9,777 cars Of coal at port and
4,S5S en- route from the mines. Dump
ings, which are supposed to be 4,001
cars daily were 2,546, Monday, 3,O9S,
Tuesday and $500 estimated for We'd
nesday. Full blame for this condition
was put on the dock companies by
Mr.. Griggs, according to Judge John
F. MCGEE, Minnesota coal commits
sioner, who was given the figures by
the car service commission.
'HThis is a very dangerous situa-
tion," Judge MCGEE said. "It is lead
ing straight toward a cancellation of
priority order No. 10. The Northwest
coal companies must keep the docks
cleared at lake Erie ports or the In
terstate Commerce Commission will
abrogate its order and send the coal
elsewhere. There is no time to waste.
Order 20 goes into effect Friday Of
this week and from the information I
have the dock companies must dump
the 1000 cars daily allotted to the
Northwest or the Commission will
act"
The Northwest will be short 2,71O,-
723 tons the coal it had last year even
If the 1000 cars a day is maintained
for the remaining thirty-four days of
Order 10, Judge MCGEE said. At the
present rate of shipments under Or
der 10 the shortage will be 1897, 1923.
Dumpings averaging 5000 cars a day
Will be necessary to give the North
west as much coal as it had last year
and then it would be short about 5000.
GOO tons the amount it had the last
normal year, which was 1918. That
year the total available supply was
29.135,125 tons.

that the Treasury would not be a party

from the market in order to maintain
artiticially high prices.
Spokesman for the delegation were

TONS recent statement that prices had
begun to recede but the secretary told
them as frankly that his statement
properly represented conditions.
The delegation sought mainly to
have the Treasury revive the war

through it they would be able to OBJ
tain funds to finance exports which
they claimed were falling off, creating
a stagnant market.

RAISED" MONEY is
BEING CIRCULATED
COUNTERFEITERS ADOPT NEW
SCHEME TO GET RICH. EN-
LARGE FIGURES ON BILLS.

Banks, business places and federal
officials are being warned of the
circulation of counterfeit bank notes
in denominations ranging from S. to
$50. which presumably have been
made by professional counterfeiters.
This money, according to reports, is
being circulated in Omaha, Chicago
and other middle western cities.
The counterfeiting is cleverly done,
according to samples in the hands of
government officials of this district,
and is hard to detect. Genuine paper
currency Of small denominations, 81
to SIS bills, are used and the corner
figures of large bank notes are cut
out and attached to the small bills,
concealing the 81" or "5" as the case
may be, and appearing to be $40, $40
or $50 bills.
This process causes destruction of
the note from which the figures are
cut. but the counterfeiters are clever
enough to remove but two figures
from each bill and then tear away
enough of the remainder to leave
three-fifths of the note They car
then redeem the injured bill at face
value.
In this way they are able to get
$40 to $50 for the fake bank notes
Although this method requires
skilful work and a fairly large
amount of real capital, it is being
successfully carried out in many
places, it is said. The actual coun-
terfeiting probably is done at cen.
trail point and the newly produced
near money" is being distributed to
confederates in other places and
passed into circulation.
It is a penitentiary offense to have
such spurious money in ones posses
sion as we'll as an offense to destroy
currency, counterfeit money or at
tempt to pass it.
