In talking about the orchard on his

Two Buttes Sentinel editor how he
keeps fruit from being killed in the
spring by the late freezes. Mr.. Arndt
has an orchard Of four acres. and every
year before he moved back to Mis-

TO supply the Two Buttes market.

Rich garden lands up and down

dynamite to wake up to a full reali-

of the great agricultural and horti-
cultural areas all around Pueblo. An
awakening of the industrial and fl

doing something substantial for the
farmers, the stock raisers-the men
who produce tho foods upon which
We live: an awakening to the neces-
sity of becoming more sympathetic
toward the productive interests here
about; realization of the necessity
of getting for tho producer something
nearer what the consumer pays for his
products.

RANGE LAW IS NEEDED
OUT ON THE PLAINS

Argument made by Two Buttes Senti-
mel:
Baca county needs a range law.
There are cattle in the country running
loose and .he average field fence is not
proof against them. The range days
are past IN Baca County. and people
should be compelled by law to keep
their cattle off the public domain and
their nelghbors' fields. Since certain
sections OF tho state are eligible to
free range t.causc of the nature OF tho
country the cattle men few years ago
defeated the proposed state range law.
and tho people OF the AGRICULTURAL sec
tions arc 1T the mercy of the cattle
owners who do not confinc their stock
But the com missioners OF Baoa county
can pass an order con:ining the stock
in this county.
