some men came from Texas looking
for winter quarters to heard 10000

the cattle equally if he would keep

SAY ROADS ARE PASSABLE
Colorado Wants Tourists to Come to
the Resorts

Local motor dealers are receiving
frantic letters from the Colorado
Chambers of Commerce explaining
the mountain road situation.
The letter states that the report
Of serious damage to the Pixies Peak
Region by the flood of the Arkansas
Valley and that the roads into Color
ado are impossible is untrue.
There was, as the letter states,
slight damage by the heavy rains,
but it has been repaired A few
bridges were washed out, but the
roads themselves along the Arkan-
sas river We're but slightly damaged.
All the bridges have been replaced.
The highway into the state Of Col
orato through Trinidad, Walsenburg,
and Pueblo is in excellent condition,
and with the exception that some OF
the bridges are temporary, the high
way was never better. There are
several temporary bridges on the
Santa Fe trail into Pueblo, but the
road is all right and parties using
that road can cover just as many
miles and ride just as comfortably as
before the food. Practically no dam
age was done on the Missouri Paci-
fc, Golden Belt, or Pixies Peak
Ocean to- Ocean Highways. During
the last days of the rain these
roads were soft, but they have dried
up and have been dragged. Travel
ers over these highways in Colorado
will experience no difficulty what

WHEAT CROP INFECTED
"care Should Be Taken 10 Secure
Highest Yields" SAYS Steans0n

Highest Yields" SAYS Steanson
Care must he taken In planning
the next years crop of wheat In order
To secure the highest yields" says
Mr.. Steanson of the Department of
Vocational Agriculture. THE yields
on many fields were reduced this
year because Of the presence of a
foot.rot disease which caused 1t TO
die out in spots. The injury In one
field was fully 90 per cent. This in
Jury developed In practically two
wears time. Many other fields were
much worse this year than last
year"
A government inspector spent
about three weeks In this county and
round the disease on quite a large
number of farms. Other fields have
been suspected since he left. The
disease will probably grow worse II
1t is not checked. DR.. Melchers OF
the Kansas Experiment Station says
that land showing this disease should
not 20 back into wheat for several
wears and for the first year should
not go into any cereal. 1t should be
planted into corn, sorghum, alfalfa,
or fallow. Wheat seed from infected
fields should not be used If 1t is pos
sible not to do so. If it is necessary
TO do so 1t should be given the for
maldehyde treatment as for smut.
II ia not definitely known whether
the disease is transmitted in the seed,
but precaution is the best policy.
The Kansas Experiment Station
has rented five acres of an infected
field about seven miles north Of Sol
omon where tests will be made to de-
termine the relative resistance OF
local varieties to the disease as well
as other phases Of the life history
of the disease.
