Potato Growers
Receive Certifcaion
On Seed Potatoes

The following will receive
certification on their seed po-
tatoes, a committee from the
Farm Bureau having made the
necessary inspection: H. A.

kins, Isaac Hart, Oscar And.,

will receive a certificate on his
Success barley, Frank Hanna
on his Bald barley and R. A.
Chisholm on his oats.
OF course, there is some
disease among the potatoes,
rhizoctonia or black scurf
being the most general. This
disease is found all over the
valley, but in this county it is
not quite so bad as last year.
Where plants were badly
enough infected to be notice
able when walking thru the
field, the above growers
"rouged" them out, as was also
done with plants showing dis
ease from any other source.
Off-varieties, or impurities in
the field, were handled in the
same way.

MONTE SPLITS
DOUBLE HEADER
With ALAM0SA

season edneSday
night by dividing double
header with the Alamosa rail-
readers. The visitors won the
girls game 20 to A while the
Monte quintette Won the sec
ond stanza to the tune of 81 to
II.
The local girls team looked
entirely outclassed in the first
half of the game and at the
end of that period the score
stood IA to l. In the second
half the whole Monte team
played far better basketball
than in the previous half and
held the visitors to 6 points
while the home crowd annex
ed five points. Alamosa play
ed wonderful passing game
and her floor work was super
ior to that of the locals. II.
Roberts for the visitors shot
seven field goals during the
first half which gave Alamosa
all that was necessary to win.
While it looked as though
Monte's girls were far out
classed we must not forget
that the coach Miss Skinner
has the gigantic task of build
ing a team out of ineXperienc-
ed material for the most part.
Not a single girl who won her
letter last year is in school
this year. and anyone who
knows the slightest thing
about asket ball realizes
what a job there is for a
coach.
The locals demonstrated
during the game that there is
considerable material for a
girls team, and we believe
that before the end of the sea-
son the Monte sextette will be
making all of you folks sit up
and take notice.
The second game of the
evening proved to be interest
ing and exciting from gong to
whistle. Alamosa put up a
good fight all along the way
but Monte's defense kept
them away from the hoop
most of the evening.
During the first half Monte
held the visitors to three
points, none of which came
from a field goal. Sanchez
snagged three from the field
during the last half which
helped the visitors look better
on the score board.
We believe that Monte has
n team that will make any
other five cit up and Git"
and the best part of the game
the locals play is the excel
lent team work displayed most
of the time. Crooks looks
like n good Center for the
locals. and the shifting of
Haggard from his old position
at guard to n forward gives
the locals more strength in
that territory, ms was evidenc-
ed last night. With Gonzales,
Grey and Schultz for guard,
Correll mt his forward posi-
ton and Blackstone for sub
center we believe the locals
will be a hard aggregation to
beat.
The manner in which the
Monte boys broke up Ala
mosa's five man defense, was
the best part Of the game for
the locals did that thing time
and again during the evening
and on several occasions shot
n basket with the whole blam-
ed five defense trying to spoil
the shot. The local boys
should be congratulated on
their snirif md finc t,nm

Census Reports Show Nippon
Inhabitants Increased At
Rate Of So Percent

WASHINGTON, June 23.-The ra-
cial composition of the population of
the Unitd States in 1920, IS announc-
ed tonight by the census bureau,
shows 94,S22,431 white JerSouS, 10,-
463,013 negroes, 242,959 Indians, Ill, :
OPS japanese, 61,6S6 Chinese and J4S5
others. The Japanese race exceeded
the rate of growth in the last 10
years of all other classes.
Unofficial estimates of the increase
in Japanese in the United States,
particularly on the Pacific coast,
were borne out in the official tabula-
tion which revealed a rate of eXpan-
sion of $50 per cent. California alb
sorbed 30,569 of the growth of 3S,S6S
Japanese. On January first. 1920,
there were 1852 Japanese in Cali
fornia. The remainder of the increase
was distributed largely in Washing
ton state. where there are 1883;
Oregon 4151 and Utah, Colorado aud
New York with between two aud
three thousand each.
The white population showed only
a 16 per cent expansion and the ne
gro 6.5 per cent. Both the Indian
and Chinese groups dwindled Sc per
cent and 1873 per cent. respectively
The growth in the white population
was considerably less than the rate
for the previous decade which was
22.3 per cent. This decline, the state
ment said, was due principally to the
reduction in immigration during the
war.
The greatest numerical increase in
the white population was shown in
the district embracing Ohio, Indiana,
Illinois. Michigan, and Wisconsin
where the increase was 3,011.363.
The rate of increase in the negro
population was the lowest on record
according to the statement,
Evidence of the migration of the
negro to the north and west was

Proposals to Reward Fighters
With Cash, Services Or
Land Debated
c.. o. P. DELAY FLAYED
Courageous Thing Is To Tell
Soldiers u. S. Cannot Pay,
Says Utah Senator

WASHINGTON, June 29.-Propos.
ais to pay in cash, valuable services
or land, a bonus to former service
men were advocated in the senate to-
day by Senator McCumber, Republi-
can of North Dakota. and made the
subject of an onslaught by Senator
Borah, Republican of Idaho.
Senator McCumber earlier discuss
ed the bonus bill along with other
fiscal legislation with President Hard
ing and, after leaving the White
House, said his conference had given
him the feeling that the president ex-
pected bonus legislation to be enact
ed at the extra session.
Senator BOrah assailed the method
and delay involved in the bonus bill.
it ''discreditable to the Re-
publican party"
THE courageous thing to do he
said, lis to tell the soldiers you can
not pay them in CASH
Senator McCumber, attacking profi-
teering, said the adjusted compensa-
tion was matter of justice and that
the word 'bonus" had resulted in JUS
titled criticism.
IF the Republican party is courage
Gus and honorable it will send this
bill back" Senator Borah asserted.
"and do one of two things: tell the
country and the soldiers the bonus
cannot be paid in cash, or face the
prospect of doing it. This bill under
takes to promise $4,000, 600, 900 in cash
to the soldiers, and to promise tax
payers that it will not cost them any
thing
Il venture to say that every serv-
ice man understands that it is a prop
osition to give him five or six hundred
dollars in cash. In fact, it proposes
to give him $50 in July %, and then
$50 every four or five months there
after. Why the delay, if this is a NOR
al obligation of our country, delay
for three years and half after the
war? 1t is because we dare not put
upon our constituents this $4,000, ,0O0,-
600 obligation and then go out and
tell them it is done. The scheme is
unjust to the soldier, the taxpayer
and discreditable to the senate"
