FARMING IS LAUDED
BY DR.. R. W. THATCHER
ALI Life Comes From The Soil Says
The Dean-Asks for Better
Farmers

Using the biblical quotation "Out
of the dust of the earth created he
him" as the key note of his address,
DR.. r. W. Thatcher, dean of the de-
partment of agriculture of the Uni
versity of Minnesota emphasized to
the graduating class of the West Cen
troll School of Agriculture and to the
relatives and friends of the class as
sembled at the exercises in the Or
pheum last Thursday evening the
Importance of farming.
"The purpose of the West Central
School of Agriculture is to inculcate
in it's students love for farming"
said DR.. Thatcher. eff it doesn't do
that it fails in it's purpose"
"The soil is not simply mud when
it is wet and dirt when it is dry"
he said quoting a rural school teach
er. All life from suits and pumpkins
to men and women comes from it.
He said that the ancient Hebrew
who accounted for mans origin in
the soil said more than he realized,
for all a man including the food he
eats and the clothes he wear is soil,
air and sunshine before he incorpor-
ates it into his own body.
In speaking of education he said
that the things the boys and girls
at the West Central School of Agri-
culture learned were more i'm
portant than the kind of education
children use to get. They used to
learn the difference between polar
and grizzly bears when they never
expected to see either, but neglected
the things right around them that
they would be forced to cope with the
rest of their lives.
The so-called exodus of the coun-
try people to the cities does not
worry DR.. Thatcher in the least.
1--WE do not want more farmers, but
better farmers" he said.

Dealers Association is composed of
mostly of Farmers Elevators.
The Farm Bureau Delegates are
President Potter and w. F. Schilling.
Each county was given one vote in
selecting the delegates, so counties
voting. In reality, one man was
voted for. President Potter was un-
animously elected chairman of the
Chicago delegation before the con-
vention separated into separate
groups to select delegates.

FEEDING GARBAGE TO SWINE
Practical Means Of Producing Pork,
According to Department Of Agrl.
culture Bulletin.

When properly managed, the feed
Ing of garbage to swine is practical
means of pork production, according
to Farmers Bulletin 1888 issued by
the United States Department of Agrl-
culture.
In addition 1t helps to settle n prob
lem which confronts many cities and
towns-that Of effective and economi-
cal garbage disposal. The wholesome
ness of garbage depends greatly on
the care 1t receives In households. Tin
cans, glass, paper, oyster shells, saw
dust, soap, and other foreign mate
rails when mixed with garbage NAV
cause numerous losses Of hogs But 1t
has been found that this evil can be
minimized by proper precaution and
published requests to householders to
be careful.

prevent hog cholera and frequent COL
lection Is urged to keep the feed fresh,

the decimal system is in full
force in France and other coun-
tries.
One would think that the Euro
pean people were fed up with
war, yet we see the Poles and
others fighting and squabbling
over bits Of territory. What DIFF
ference does it make to the aver
age man over there when their
governments are all tared with
the same brush. It's surely time
that they quit fighting and turn
their energies to producing food,
clothing and shelter and so solve
the chronic starvation existing

outside of the matter of infdelity
it seems to me that a prolific
source of unhappiness in families

is the infringement of the sover-
eighty of the individual. Nations
90 to war for such infringement,
and revolutions are bred from
the infringement of the rights of
one portion of the citizens by
the other, and equally the same
thing in families causes untold
trouble and misery. Therefore it
would seem to me equitable that
when a man and woman enter
into the marriage contract, there
ought to be legal statement of
individual rights the infringement
of which on either side would
automatically release either party
if so desired. With legal and
equitable safeguards for til e
rights of children if any. An
other matter that would go far
to solve marital problems would
be the economical independence
Of the woman.

Facts
CONTINUOUS FIGHT ON PESTS
Some Of Most Valuable Control Work
May Be Accomplished During
Dormant Season.

In order to increase the production
Of fruit It is essential that fruit grow
crs wage continuous fight on orchard
pests. Some of the most valuable
control work can be accomplished dur
Ing the fall and winter months. Ger
tain destructive insects are held In
check only by spraying during the dor
mant period of trees, when stronger
washes way be used than when the
trees are in foliage. Many insects
spend the winter on the tree In the
egg, larva or pupnl stage, and their
destruction In the course of pruning
and other orchard work Is practicable
and Is of much Importance In keeping
them reduced, Certain fungous and
bacterial diseases, particularly pear
blight and apple canker, are best
worked upon Mt this time.
Practically all Of the orchard scale
by spraying the trees after the foliage
has dropped. This work may be done
either In the fall or during the winter
when the temperature Is above freez-
Ing and in the spring before the buds
come out. During these periods a
strong solution Of lime sulphur is used
by great many orchardists in control
ling San Jose scale and many other
serious scale pests.
Other scale insect pests, such as the
cherry scale, oyster-shell scale etc,
can usually be held In check by the
dormant spray with lime-sulphur
wash. The treatment Is also effective
against the pear leaf blister mite,
which is universally present on pears,
and in many localities becomes seri-
Gus apple pest. Some plant lice that
are destructive especially to young ap-
pie trees winter In the egg stage and
are destroyed by this treatment, One
thing that must be remembered in ap-
plying the dormant spray is that the
solution should cover every part Of the
tree or 1t will not be effective.

COVE COMMENTS

No doubt but what a simpliti-
cation of the calendar on the ID
months basis would be beneficial
and another matter that could
be changed with, equal benefit
would be the measurement and
weight rules. It is simply ride
ulous that while our measures
are based on the twelve inch rule
and our weight by the pound our
coinage is decimal. It's curious
how a people that have the repu-
tation for prQgressiveness hang
onto the old conservative cum
berous weight and measures.
Nationally we seem afraid to

experts and later conferred together
regarding the failure Of Germany to

Of Versailles.
The experts were asked to make Q
detailed report on the subject, with
recommendation regarding measures
TO insure execution Of the disarma.

The British prime minister, David

In this connection the premIers are

themselves.

trOduced:
Complete ab0lishment Of the direct

OF the old convention system for poll

bill presented by Senator w. II.
Adams Of Alam0sa, the fourth meas
ure he has introduced In his nineteen
terms In the Senate and the last on

Drastic changes In the present state

Senator o. y. Bannister OF Grand
Junction proposed In bill that the
state appropriate $4,000 for a statue
Of the late United States Senator
Henry N. Teller at the capital at
Washington.
A drastic measure for the preven.
tIon Of proflteering was introduced
by Representatives Paul b. G0tsman
Of Burlington and John +. Rotruck Of
Denver. II defines proflteering as
any merchant or corporation charging
an unfair price. The maximum pen.
atty would be fixed at $1,000 fine and
six months imprisonment In the
county jail.
Representatives Robert A. Young Of
Denver introduced bin that would
provide IN appropriation for the
building Of an executive mansion for
the governor.
Landowners Of the Oreeley.Poudrc

600 acres north and east Of Greeley
met In Denver whore they made plans
to resist q tax levy amounting to 81
an acre. which the commissioners Of
Weld county have levied upon tho
land. II II hoped that some plan will
be worked out under which the dis.
trict can be refinanced and placed
under actual irrigation. Thirteen
Denver landowners issued the call for
the general meeting. The Greeley
Poudre irrigation district was organ
ised twelve years ago and $2O0OOoO
bonds were sold. A large part Of the
irrigation system was completed. In.
cluding the reservoirs, the main canal
and q tunnel through the Continental
divide northwest Of Fort Collins. The
main source Of water supply for the
district was to be the flood waters OF
the Poudrs river, which would be held
BY q huge channel reservoir. Addi'
tional water was to be taken from
the Laramie river through the tunnel.
Following the rejection by the voters
last November Of the proposed amend
ments to increase salaries Of numerous
state officials, It II considered likely
that the Senate finance and the lower
house appropriations committees Will
turn down all bills proposing salary In
creases. Members contend that pro-
posed increases recommended by the
state budget commissioner total mp
proximately 100000 and cannot be
paid unless an additional tax Is pro.
vided. Granting Of the increases would
