Rare Sugar Found In Honey.

Investigation of certain stores of
crystallized honey found In various
places In Pennsylvania where the bees
had died from starvation led to the
discovery OF quantity of rare sugar,
known as melezitose, which has been
extracted and purified and placed at
the disposal of the bureau of chem
istry. The weekly news letter OF the
department Of agriculture says that
melezitose Is one OF the rarest sugars.

a large to solve the problem of the ma
tons food supply. Such figures as these are
cited: twenty-five million acres of nut trees
would more than supply the people of the United
States with their two most expensive food prod
ucts protein and fat"
During the last few years much scientific ex-
perimental work in nut growing has been carried
on ny members of the Northern Nut Growers as
sociation which includes representatives of some
twenty-three states, but is In CONNER
cial organization, 1t is made up of men inter-
afted in that great food producing engine, the nut
tree, from the point of view of the nation as a
whole and the food problem that will confront the
coming generations more acutely than it confronts
this generation.
BY cross polarization and by hybridizing the
association members getting extraordinary
results III the way of big lucious nuts of lusty
growth. Almonds, English walnuts, succulent
pine nuts not Indigenous in the latitude of New
York. for example, are now growing in various
parts of the state. BY hybridizng, old hickory
nut trees that formerly produced nuts of an in
ferior quality are now producing nuts of the best
quality.
With the government and states working to-
gether in the establishment Of market highways
and the building of permanent roads, now is the
time to urge the planting Of trees. Community
effort is needed for such work. If such action as
this had been taken In this country In former
years our roadsdes would be beautiful, the
farmer more Independent.
Unfortunately the tree has not been used yet
for crops yielding staple food in places where men
till the SOIL They begin with crops which return
annual results in exchange for labor. Now that
the crops from annual plants becoming smaller
every year in proportion to the increased number
of inhabitants, will set great trees at work
upon millions Of half-barren acres. These trees
will return a larger profit for less labor than
would be required for annual plant crops
In many parts of the world where annual crop
plants raised with difficulty tree crops fur
nish staple starch food. There regions in
which chestnuts and pines practically take the
place Of wheat and corn, and these trees may be
raised proftably where wheat and will
longer grow proftaby.
AT present hybrid tree Is a great curiosity;
men often travel far to see it. They do not stop
to realize that a thousand hybrid trees can be
produced with very little trouble and among
these would be some of enormous value to the
world.
Among the food trees of the nutbearing group
the palms with their many species of coconuts
stand first, the pines next and the chestnuts third
in order, SO far as the food supply of the various
people is concerned Then come the almonds
walnuts, hazels, hickOries and other nutbearing
trees, the nuts of which have been looked upon
as luxurious rather than as good substantial
caIories.

BIG TRACTOR AND ONE
TRUCK FOR EAST END
New 22-40 Case and Pierce-Arrow
Army Truck for County Reach.
cd Here SATURDAY.

A handsome big 22-40 Case tract
or and a new army 3-ton auto truck
were received here last Saturday
by Chairman A. p. Knuckey of the
board of county commissioners of
Prowers county, on behalf of the
board.
This big tractor and truck were
recently bought by the county to
be used in the building and main
tenance OF the roads in the county
and particularly for the east end.
While these machines will of course
be available at all times for work
anywhere in the county, they will
be kept in the cOunty's specially
constructed yard here in Holly for
the sheltering and safe keeping of
the countys tools while being used
in this end of the county.
This will mean that the Case
tractor and one large truck will
be kept there the greater part of
tibet line when not in use in actual
construction work. and that they
will be well housed and cared for.
The Case truck cost complete
approximately $1,000 and was pur.
chased through the local firm of j.
F. Saunders e. Son who are Holly
agents for the case machine. The
Pierce Arrow army truck was Sc
cured from the federal government
being one of the many bought by
the government for army service
during the war.
The county now has two large
tractors and six trucks in all. The
new case tractor is here at this
time to be used in grading the
south road to the county line and
was put in commission Monday by
Division Supt. AL Holt who now
has charge of the southside i'm
provement campaign. which will
include the Improvement of a mum.

that the good roads movement is

REAL EGG MACHINE
TYPE WHITE LEGHORN
a. w. Whittlesey Secures Dozen
Cocks from Missouri from 314-
Egg Strain Hens.

That the Holly district Is lin.
ing up in the poultry game is
again indicated by the fact that
H. W. Whittlesey. northwest of
town, perhaps the leading White
Leghorn breeder of the Arkansas
Valley, SO far as quality birds are
concerned, has just bought one
dozen Single Comb White Leghorn
cocks from hens OF the same breed
with laying records of from 295 to
3l4 eggs per hen per year
Mr.. Whittlesey paid something
around $40 per bird for the IL
head Eight of the consignment
came in last Saturday and they were
veritable pictures of the Leghorn
type They were raised by Lewis
Perrier Bonnott's Mills, Missouri,
They are of the English and Young
strains and are said to be among
the best that can be bought.
Mr.. Whittlesey will place these
best breeding pens for this season.
He now has % dozen of the best
pure bred White Leghorn laying
hens anywhere in the valley.
1t is significant in this connec-
ton that Mr.. Whittlesey is now
completing arrangements to estab-
lish one of the best pure bred
poultry plants in eastern Colorado.
The farm he has been living on the
past year has been sold and he
will have sale on the 10Th of this
month at which he proposes to
sell off everything he has except
his laying hens and newly purchas-
ed cocks.
He is buying place near by his
former location and will fit this up
according to the most scientific
plans of modern poultry raising
Immediately after his sale Mr..
Whittlesey, it should be borne in
mind. is not novice in the poul.
try game. Therefore, his present
pansion are of especial Importance
in eastern Colorado poultry cul-
ture.
He already has orders booked for
day-old chicks almost up to the
capacity of his incubators and
breeding hens. Any one, in the
vicinity of Holly or eastern Colo

Also Matter of Convenience and
Business Interest to Merchants of

Attend from Holly.

Next Monday afternoon, March
18th, at 2 o'clock-that's the time
set for the big meeting for the
purpose of putting over the pro
posed new telephone line from
Holly to Stonington.
This is one of the most important
community service propositions yet
taken up by the Holly commercial
club. This proposed line is an i'm
perative need by both the south
side farmers and the commercial
interests of Holly.
A tentative board of directors
has been organized to do the pre-
liminary work of forming a perma-
nent company and getting things
in shape for the sale of stock to
raise the necessary funds, or make
such other arrangements as may
be necessary to build the line
There ought to be a good delega-
ton of Holly people at Webb next
Monday afternoon to extend such
aid as may be necessary in getting
this project over. The realization
oft his proposed telephone line SER
vice involves the earnest and
hearty cooperation of the town and
country people.
From expressions of the south
side folks in attendance at the first
meeting at the commercial club
room here a week ago Monday
night there ought to be enough
people along the proposed line to
justify the construction of a sub
stantiaI and serviceable line and
also provide for its proper main.
