HOTBEDS AND COLDFRAMES
NEEDED FOR TENDER PLANTS

Agricultural College News Notes
Every home garden should be equip
ped with at least "A small amount of
hotbcd and coldframc space in order
TO provide tomatoes, cabbage, cauli-
flower and other plants for setting in
the garden. Such plants may, of
course be purchased from stores or
from other people who make il busi-
ness Of growing them, but with proper
attention the gardner himself may
grow plants that will be more satisfac-
tory. With little hotbcd or cold
frame space and few clay or paper
pots or dirt bands, il IS quite possible
10 grow tomato plants that viii fruit
much earlier than those Offered for
sale. Fen melons and cucumbers may
be started in this way and transplant
ed outside after danger of frost is over
and thus securing an earlier crop. II
space Is available lettuce, radiShes and
young onions may be planted in these
structures and VIII mature much earli-
er than those grown out of doors.
Hotoeis are usually heated by fer
mentiug manure and are used mainly
for starting plants that are to be trans
planted outside and for growing short
season crops like radishcs and lettuce.
Coldframes are used as place for
tTausplaHting PLANS started in the
hotbeds. They are not heated but
are covered with glass or cloth which
affords the plants some protection.
Plants are set in the coldframes for
the purpose of Hardening them off,"
SO when they are removed to the gar
den they will not suffer too much from
the change. Coldframes may also be
used to start some plants such as late
cabbage and celery, and for growing
lettuce, radishes, beets, carrots, etc
Full details for making hotbeds and
coldframes may be found in Colorado

WYOMING WOMAN CATTLE
RUSTLER GOES TO PRISON

Cheyenne, Wyoming, March 25-
Mrs. Anna Riehcy, the first woman to
be convicted Of cattle rGstling in Wyo-
ming in many years, viii start for the
Colorado rcuitentiary within few
days As the result OF the action of the
Wyoming supreme court in denying a
hearing OF the case against her.
Nothing but a pardon by Governor
Carey now can prevent her from serv-
ing the sentence Of from one to six
years imprisonment imposed by Dis
trict Judge Arnold of kemmerer two
years ago, following her conviction on
q charge of stealing three head of cat
tie.
Mrs. Richey IS the daughter of a
widely known cattleman of Lincoln
county. Her incarceration at the Col
orado penitentiary is necessiated be-
cause Wyoming has no provisions for
woman prisoners.

CARELESSNESS AT SEED TINE
MEANS A MEAGRE HARVEST

Why will farmer carefully select
pure bred sires for his herd but go it
blind when he buys seeds for the seas
on's planting? The question arises as
result of complaints that reach the
Agricultural College every spring
from all over the state The ans Ser
is in many cases that he doesn't
know ABOUT the state pure seed law,
or IL he does, he fails to take advant-
age of the legal protection given him.
the State Seed Laboratory, Fort Col
lins, will bring full information about
the law.
The necessity for it is quite evident
when one inquiries of Prof. A. h.
Peterson, Botanist, who has charge of
the administration of the law Ono
sample recently examined by the labor
atory contained 2.7S per cent dodder,
that is over 43,s00 dodder per pound
of alfalfa seed, that is enough, if
planted, to have dodder living on every
alfalfa plant. Another sample sub
mitted contained 3,240 dodder per lb.
The party submitting the sample
wanted TO know what the market price
of the seed should be, and he was in
formed that il would be hard to sell
at any price.
Inspection is now in progress at tine
wholesale markets in the effort to pro-
tect farmers against fraud. The best
protection is for the farmer himself
to procure information about what
the state is doing and can do for him
toward insuring pure seed for plant
ing.

SAFEGUARDING RIGHTS OF

less thnn eight times he was captured
by them and sentenced to death.

So they tied the scout on wild

given, kentun sprang through the line
of warriors. armed with clubs and
hatchets. and reached the council
house. his goal, almost untouched.
Near Zanesfeld preparations were
made to burn him at the stake, but the
arrival OF Simon Girty. the white
renegade" who recognized Kenton as
on old friend, saved him.
His freedom was short-lived. Three
weeks later the Indians again voted
to put him to death. Again he was
sawed by friead-GhIsf- Logan the

the Sandsky towns were reached, the
indians held council and once more

An extensive pooling scheme is be-
ing worked up in Montrose district,
where half dozen busy creameries
are competing against each other
with too much hay and not enough
people. The plan is to pool issues and
ship butter in car lots to the east.
To make this plan success, it is alb
solutely necessary to turn out the very
best qualities, to make the goods all
exactly alike, in short, to take as much
pains in scientific handling as is de-
voted to butter in Australia, which
sends it half around the world.

Grand Junction Sentinel:-The Jer-
sscy COW to be seen in the Drew corral
Is a specimen of the effects of arsenical
or lead poisoning. The little calf is
quite lively and will live, and the doc
tor believes he can save the COW, but
she is certainly sight to behold. It
may not be generally known that
cows fed on poisoned alfalfa will be
Ieaded, but this is good object lesson
and should enlist the sympathy of all
cattle owners for their stock.

PASTURE GRASS Is PERFECT
FOOD FOR MILK PRODUCTION
Agricultural College News-Notes:-

Agricultural College News s-Notes:-
Farmers who milk cows know the
value of pasture grass. In late spring
or summer when grass is at its best,
cows yield their maximum amount Of
milk and butterfat at minimum cost
Twelve years ago, Prof. George E.
Morton, head of the Animal Husband
~ department of Colorado Agricultur-
al college, started experimenting with
pasture grass mixtures for irrigated
lands. Every possible grass seedthat
had proved itself of any value in this
country or abroad was tried, until
finally there was developed what is
now known as Morton's Pasture Grass
mixture. which is as follows.
Gunnison news-champion., 1922-03-31

There are occasional conditions re-
quiring other grasses and II has been
found good practice, on low lying wet
soils to reduce the orchard and bronze
grasses, adding redtop and more tim
othy. On few Western Slope areas
it may be advisable to add Kentucky
blue grass, but for the greater part
of the state this mixture has rroved
satisfactory. Heavy seeding is neces-
sary in order to get an early sod.
The oldest pasture in the college has
been in twelve years and will carry
two animals per acre during pasture
season.
