FARMERS BUSY
same AS EVER
IN COLORADO

Such reports as had been received
by the state immigration department
from county assessors seem to indicate
that there will be no appreciable de-
crease in acreage under cultivation in
Colorado this year. tho earlier reports
from other sources indicated that the
cultivated acreage would be materially
decreased on account of inability on
the part of farmers to obtain needed
financial support. Reports have been
received from something more than ..
500 farmers and the total of these re-
ports show larger amount of land
under cultivation than the total shown
by the first $500 reports received last
year.
Increases in cultivated acreage are
indicated from Kiowa, Baca and Las
Animas counties, while most of the
other counties from which partial re-
ports have been received show little
indications of changes from last year.

NOW UNSURPASSED
AS GRAIN PRODUCER

The Mesa -four mills. with their main
factory on Seventh street In Grand
Junction. the News states. is one Of
tho finest examples OF the prosperity
of the Grand valley of the Colorado
river From their mills in this city,
with elevators at Delta and Montrosc,
they supply practically all of the de-
mand in western Colorado and eastern
Utah. In addition to shipping out "A
car daily to Texas. New Mexico and
other states south of us.
This large institution gets all of the
wheat from which the flour is made
from western Colorado. most of II com
ing from Plateau valley. Fruita. Mont
rose. Delta and eastern Utah. There is
no finer wheat land in the world than
much of this great area and the tire
me cndous outside demand for tho local
product is evidence that tho quality
is such MS to bring repeating orders.
In many cases land which is not n
great producer of other products
proves to yield bumper hard wheat
crops and there is no better climate
for IT than here. A steadily increas-
ing acreage from year to year is being
sowed to wheat in all sections from
which tho Mesa flour mill buys.

SHEEP HERDERS SHOULD
SHUN DEATH CAMAS

Death camas causes heavy losses of
sheep in the spring and early sum
mer. 1t is not unusual for several
hundred to die within a day or two.
The plants frequently grow in thick
patches. and because of their grass
are close herded in such places. many
of them will be poisoned. and most
of those poisoned are likely to die.
Especial care should bc used when
sheep are taken from the cars and re-
leased for grazing. II they have not
been fed. as is frequently the case,
and are turned out on a range where
death camas is abundant, tho resulting
losses may be very heavy. There have
been many cases OF this kind. If
death camas is present. that part of
the range should he avoided. If it is
necessary to trail sheep where death
caams is known TO grow, the animals
should be well fed before coming to
that place.
Sheep herders should learn to rccog-
nize the plants and avoid them. Tho
United States Department OF ASri-
culture has published Department Bull
! letin 125. Zygadenus, or Death Camas
| which tells about the plants and their
| effects: 1t has also published Bu1Ic-
tin 575. Stock Poisoning Plants OF tho
Range. which gives illustrations. many
COioreu. OF tne
plants of the western United States.
Thero are several kinds OF death
camas and until rocently 1t has been
supposed that all were equally poison :
Gus. As tho result OF recent expert
mental work. which is in course of
publication. 1t has been found that the
death camas which, in tho western
mountains, grows at elevations of 5000
feet and upwards is only slightly poi
md nFnhahiy mi, no
range sheep. All the forms growing
at lower attitudes are dangerous. but
this mountain death camas probably
never docs any harm. II has thin and
rather erect leaves, grows in meadows
and in damp ground. somctimcs
among the aspons, whlc the other
kind. which approaches the lower limit
of tho mountain death camas. grows
in dry places. and has thick, spread
ing leaves. The hcrder need not fear
tho mountain death camas. but should
shun all tho other forms.

YOUNG PEOPLE
ON THE FARM
TAKE LESSONS
From the Two Buttes Sentinel.


Mrs. j. r. White. working under the
supervision of the extension depart
ment of the Agricultural college at
Fort Collins, last week organized in
Two Buttes two sewing clubs for the
girls and a corn club and a pig club
for the boys. One of the sewing clubs
starts with nine members. and the
other with eleven members. The corn
and pig clubs start with thirteen mem
bers. These are the first clubs for boys
and girls to be organized in Baca
county.
The sewing clubs are starting on a
fouryears program of work. The first
year will be hand sewing, as skillful
hand work is essential to the making
of a presentable garment. The girls
will be taught tG keep records of their
work, the cost of material, and the cost
of the completed garments. Mrs. Earl
NJ. Terry is the leader of the club of
young girls, and Miss Zazel Sloniser
is leader for the older girls. The clubs
meet each Thursday afternoon.
The corn and pig clubs have prae-
ticaIly the same membership. since two
go well together. Only three boys in
the pig club will not ecter the
corn club. Each boy in the pig club
will start his work with thorobred
Duroc Jersey pig. The club is now
looking for a place to secure the pigs
without going too far from home.
The boys will be taught to keep rec
ords of the growth of their pigs. the
cost of feeding them. and other data
pertinent to successful hog raising.
In the corn club each boy will plant
one acre of corn or more IL he so de-
sires, but one acre is required for tho
club work. The boys will prepare the
ground and will plant the seed, do the
necessary cultivating. and harvest
their own crops. They will be taught
seed selection, the proper methods OF.
planting and caring for their crops.
and they will be instructed in keeping
crop accounts.
The program for .hc corn and :nS
clubs is three years, and may be OK
tended for longer period II the club
so desires. Lewis Curtis is the leader
for the boys, and they meet each
Thursday.
or less club members receives a trip
pcnses paid by tho fair association.
Aside from this. arrangements arc be-
ing made to dcfray the expenses To-
cally of at least ono member Of zach
OF tho Two Buttcs clubs to tho state
| fair this fall Guides and chaperoncs
| will he provided for the fair visitors
| by the extension department of the
| Agricultural college. Tents are pro-
| vidcd. and tho boys and girls arc cared
for on the fair grounds during their en-
tire stay. Besides being shown tho cx-
hibits at tho fair the visitors will at
tend lectures and receive Instructions
pertaining to their club work.

why NOT PUT IN GAN
BEST OF VEGETABLES?

The two hest OF all EN<6~,, sroWtha.
asparaEus and celery. grow in abund-
ance around Pueblo. there is no spot
In the world whcrc their culture Is
more successful or the quality superior.
After these many years OF profitable
gardening n little start has been made
In chipping OF our finc celery but MOTH
ing has ever been done in tho export
Of asparagus altho 1t Is the most
easily produccd-simply grows itself.
In May we have IL on our tables nutri-
Gus and delicious. yet We never see in
the grocery stores any canned aspara-
gus except those tough stringy white
stalks from California. Not half so
good as our green delicate Colorado
asparagus yet in winter they sell at
high price. Some progress In canning
has bcen noted around here but 1t
has not yet included this best of sub
jects.
This item is from the Fruitvalc cor
respondent OF Grand Junction News:
Mrs. F. y. Si.,cy has been succoss-
ful in putting up asparagus for the
winter. She first. after washing
hlcachcs 1t by letting 1t boil three
minutes. then plunges II in cold water
minute or two before packing it into
aterilizod Jars. adding cold water and
scrcwing tops on loosely over the new
vubhers. and sets these Jars on a board
in tho oven. not touching each other
or the sides OF oven. Lot the jars
boil in oven IA hours. then screw tops
on tightly without adding more water

vegetable to can. salt to taste should
be added before being put in oven. Set

GENERAL CROP SUMMARY

tarded in many sections by recent
rains. Planting OF early potatoes Is
progressing in the northern tier OF
states under generally favorable con-
ditions. Harvesting is in progress in
tho southern states.
Sweet potatoes arc being set in the
southern states and a large acreage is
expected. Rain is needed in Florida
FRUIT. Apples are blooming in the
the weather has been too cool to favor
good pollination. The crop OF nearly
all fruits. especially stone fruits. will
be very small in most OF the central
section or latitude. due to the repeated
heavy freezes. altho late apple bios
SONS have set some fruit. Good peach
and apple crops are expected in Colo
RADIO and the outlook for all fruit is
promising in Washington. Peaches are
bong marketed in carload lots from
Georgia and carloads OF cherries arc
being shipped from California. Rain
is badly needed in the citrus belt of
Florida.
LIVE STOCK. HAY AND PAS
TURES. The condition of all classes
of live stock is generally reported to
ho favorable. Litters of young pigs
arc reported to he large and healthy
in Iowa and Illinois. Lambing is pro-
crossing under favorable conditions in
Utah and Montana. some young pigs
and lambs wcrc lost in Wisconsin. due
to tho cold weather. The condition OF
meadows and pastures is generally
good altho warmer weather Is needed.
Young clover and alfalfa are recov-
cring from the damage inflicted by the
repeated freezes and are beginning to
show some Improvement. Rain is
needed in tho southwestern section of
the country.

FARMING CUPM THECLOUDS
NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. TASK
Agriculture At High Attitudes and High Lahtudes Of
fers Novelty and Is More Productive Than the
Lowlanders Would Suppose

Brief account of a storm in Alaska
came during the week, and one SEN
tence in 1t gave us surprise down
here. making mention not only of
damage in n village near Dawson but
OF destruction to the gardens about
the town. We have been undergoing
n surfcit of Alaskan stories in Pueblo
which represented the far north as a
land of snow and tracks and its popu-
lation made up of drunken villains
We could not conceive that there
could be any gardening in the Yukon
region or that its rascally mushcrs
could induce plants to grow.
Yet there are numerous pictures
que and squally spots not a hundred
miles from Pueblo which are as COM
pletely showed under in winter and
are really more ficrcely arctic yet
where agriculture is carried on to
come oxtent Timbcrline lands in
Colorado arc even more arctic. for
tudes there Ia n short but genuine
summer where plant life fairly bounds
with rapid vitality. At that low level
tho mosquitoes swarm in clouds and
animated nature Is lively. Far up in
Greenland an aero bright green with
grass springs up at any spot where
a family of esquimanx had camped
a few weeks.
But in the Rocky mountaine ALL of

warm nights; vegetation must adapt
itself to tho temperature. No more

GREEN STRIPS
ALONG STREETS.
MAGIC CHANGE

If you get off the Lake street car at
Sprague street and walk west toward
the Catholic orphanage, in the next
block you will pass small new cot
tage whose proprietor has not only
planted his large yard with garden
tween the sidewalk and tho street
filled solid with alfalfa. 1t stands up
a foot high in the sandy SOIL green and
pretty. IA bright and attractive growth
half the length OF the block, from the
street corner to he alley.
How strange it is that the people OF
Pueblo do not have such strips OF
verdure all over the city! No plant
is more easy to raise than alfalfa. the
seed is cheap. it will grow in any kind
of ground. and after the first season
no plant is more hardy and perennial.
We can not add rapidly to the number
of trees, because their cost has be-
come prohibitivc, but we could have
miles and miles of alfalfa thru all the
streets. and its green mass would make
magic change amid the dreary
stretch of arid acres. We have the
advantage which few of the smaller
towns have, in absence of roaming
cattle. In some neiGhborhoods poultry
would pick out the young alfalfa
tccted with a layer of brushwood or
in other ways.
To set the space outside the walk
with bluegrass, as on Twenty-fourth
i street, is certainly fine, but it requires
much labor expense, water and cut
ting. But anybody almost anywhere
could have alfalfa.

Canada has recognized tho work done
by the United States Department Of
Agriculture in studying and checking
dust explosions in grain elevators.

department received and granted a re-
quest from i. Grove Smith. Dominion
fire commissioner. to send representa-
tivcs to address conference of tho
Montreal Harbor Commission. called
for May 10. to deal with dust hazards
in elevators in eastern Canada. Ex-
perienccs, such as the recent fatal eS-
plonions at Fort Colhorne. Ont. and
the Armour elevator in Chicago. have
led the Dominion officials to seek pre-
cautions in the way of construction
and supervision to prevent dangerous
accumulations of dust that may pro-
duce explosions when mixed with prop
er proportions of air and ignitcd.
David j. Price. engineer in charge of
grain dust explosion investigations.

POTATOES PLENTIFUL
IS THE EXPECTATION

There will he another abundant crop
of potatoes. from the extent of land
being planted in that crop. Whether
there Will he enough men to gather
them is not SO sure. Montrose Press
states.
Some growers. however. believe
there will he plenty OF pickcrs this fall.
AS an example of how growers are
doubling their acreage. Gus Scharf Is
putting out 100 acres: Charles Tappan
so acres, and so IT goes. Those in the
habit OF planting five acres have made
it ten to fifteen this year. Those who
ordinarily grow 20 to 25 acres, have
made 1t 80 acres.
ono thing is in favor OF the grow
crs and that is the drop in sack prices.
Many growers recently purchased
their sacks AT 81. cents each, which IL
some comcdown from recent prices of
20 and % cents each.
One reason for tho largo spud arre-
ago is tho gambling feature. Wheat
and oats do not look good for rcmun1
crativc returns. Many have turned to-
spuds as sort of gamble. Tf they
arc high. tho growers makes good
money. II low, he makes nothing.
They simply take n chance. Low seed
also was commanding feature fav-
orahle to heavy planting.

Crop conditions for the week ending
May IA are covered in reports just re-
ceived by tho Bureau of Crop Esti-
mates, United States Department of
Agriculture. from its field statisticians
in the different states.
CORN. Tho planting OF corn in the
central section or the leading corn
growing states. made but little pro-
gress during the past week due to un-
favorable weather. and the cold. wet
condition OF the soil. Corn that Is up
made little growth. Considerable re-
planting has been necessary In the
southern and south central sections
OF the country. Flowing and prepara-
tion of the soil is making good pro-
gross In the north.
WHEAT. The condition OF winter
wheat generally remains favorable. al
tho warmer weather would greatly
bcnefit the crop. Some orange leaf
rust is reported thruout Kansas. and
has caused some deterioration OF the
crop in Oklahoma. Considerable
stuntei wheat reported in the central
and southern sections of Ohio Some
chinch bugs are reported in Illinois.
Tho seeding OF spring wheat Is nearly
finished and tho crop generally is
showing a good stand and making fair
growth.
OATS. Tho growth OF the oat crop
has been slow In the central section
Of the country. due to unfavorablc
weather conditions. Seeding is nearly
completed In the northern tier OF States
and early sown oats arc up to n good
stand. Harvesting of fall sown oats
is In progress in Louisiana. Mississippi.
Georgia and Florida.
COTTON, The growth of the cotton
crop has been greatly retarded by the
cool. wet weather and many poor
stands are seen. Considerable replant-
ing has been done, and tho crop is
now generally reported as somewhat
late. Lice are reported in the southern
district of Texas and boil wcevil in
the central district.

inhammable nature of the gas viii cause
1t to ignite even from a spark caused
BY striking a nail with hammer.
"1'he gas is heavier than air and
sinks to the floor through the grain.
The gas is deadly to all forms of insect
life and is the best fumigant for treat
ing grain or seed or piles of feed which
can be kept in tight room or con.
tainer. The best results will be secured
at IS degrees to 90 degrees Fahrenheit.
The temperature should never be below
60 degrees. One pound of the liquid to
each hundred cubic feet of space is
proper.
while the liquid may be applied d.
rectly to the grain. it is better to half
bury several g,inny sacks in the grain
and pour the liquid on them. This gives
a more rapid evaporation.
'1t is also better to cover the top OF
the bin with a tarpaulin or blanket.
"As this gas is poisonous to human
beings, don't daily. Get out and close.
the door. Keep the room closed from
SO to o. hours and ventilate thorough
ly before re-entering.
Small quantities of seeds may b
fumigated in tight barrels in similar
