Wheat Losses Due to Use
of Poor Seed.

Putting in fall wheat? Ii SO, do
you know anything about the seed
Has it been tested for purity and germ
ination? Does it contain wild oats,
bindweed, Russian thistles, sunflowers
or other noxious weed seeds that will
cut down your yield and increase the
dockage when you market the crop
next summer?
These questions are being put to
wheat growers by the Colorado Seed
Laboratory, which is equipped to
make tests for farmers free of charge,
that will often save them hundreds of
dollars on a single crop. The 1921
wheat crop of Colorado was approx
imately 22,OOO,OOO bushels. The esti-
mated loss of yield in the United States
on spring wheat due to weeds was IL
to Is per cent, and on winter wheat 8
to 9 per cent Using the lowest fig
ure in each case, Colorado's loss in
yield due to weeds last year was l.
900 900 bushels. The loss due to dock
age, on account of weed seeds, based
on U. S. estimates, was more than half
a million bushels to Colorado farmers.
Testing the seed would have avoided
the major portion of this loss.
Procure a sample of not less than
one pound; be sure it is representative
Of the bulk of your seed. Take small
portions from various parts of the bin,
mix and send the entire sample, ad-
dressing it to State Seed Laboratory,
Fort Collins, Colorado. A test for
termination and purity will be made.
1t requires about ten days to have this
done, and there is no cost for the serv-
ice.-State Seed Laboratory.

As Seen On Our Streets.

From the files of The Register of
twenty-five years ago we take the
following which in view of what we
see daily now on our streets we re-
gard as very prophetic of conditions
soon to exist all over the country:
When the women all wear bloomers
And their skirts are laid away;
When their legs no more are rumors
Coyly hid from light of day;
When the petticoat's forgotten
With its swishing, smashing swirls,
And there's less demand for cotton
I'll be sorry for the girls.
I'll be sorry for the lassics
Who at school are at their books,
At the head or foot of classes
I'll be sorry for their looks;
For their mas will make their bloomers
And good Lord! sirs, don't we know
Who are men, but once were boys, sirsl
That they'll make holy show.
1t is bad enough when Willie
Weareth clothes his ma has made,
And 'twould almost knock you silly
Just to see the youthful blade
Wearing pants that no man knoweth,
Which is front or which is back;
If he cometh or he goeth
There is quite an equal slack
But your Susie! o, It's CALLING;
Scalding tears will downward glance,
When you hear the urchins calling,
"Say, where did you get them pantsp'
You will see her youthful growing,
But by no dead certain rule
Can you tell if she is coming
Or is going home from school.
There'll be trouble you'll allow, sirs!
There'll be anguish for papas,
When their daughters all wear breeches
That are just revamped from mas
/ am weeping as I'm writing
And my great tears fall like pearls;
For know what Pm inditing
And I'm sorry for the girls.

WHEAT ROLLING IN
Biggest Crop Ever Raised on the Irri-
gated Lands Now Passing Rapid
ly to Market

Under the Fort Lyon Canal between
Gageby and the eastern end Of the
territory there are now twenty-three
threshing machines with their crews
working daily on the biggest wheat
crop ever raised under irrigation in
this section of the state, and the in
dications now are that the campaign
will be a long one. The price Is more
favorable than most of the growers
had expected and they are taking ad-
vantage of it to put the crop right on
the market as fast as it is threshed.
Reports coming in from the different
outfits show most of the yields rum
ming well above forty bushels per acre,
and figures like so and 55 bushels
not uncommon. The accounts were
never before so universally good and
as the acreage of wheat is larger than
ever before under irrigation the crop
will be a bumper one. The only rift
in the talk of prosperity is the failure
in some localities of the spring wheat
CfOpt DuI AiAtit 10 a FSAs SiAAAA
ton of the irrigated wheat crop that
is of that variety. The drouth in many
localities has made n considerable
shortage in the non-irrigated wheat
and the production will be nowhere
near so large as last year. Here too
the winter wheat is doing much bet
ter than the spring. In some localities
the failure is complete and in few
the crop is as large as last season, but
altogether it will be fortunate if the
crop is two-thirds as large as last
year.
With the close of the wheat harvest
the farmers in the irrigated section
are starting right in on the second
cutting of alfalfa, and the crop is
proving a fair one though not as large
in most sections as the first crop. The
alfalfa mills are still working night
and day on the first crop and will
have an all fall job Of it to handle the
seasons output,

SAD BUT TRUE
Sundays Ball Game Figures Are Of
the Read En- and Weep"
Variety.

After playing La Junta three hard
fought games this season of which two
went extra innings and one score was
all that separated the two teams, the
Lamar boys went to pieces last Sun
day and allowed the railroad city boys
just to run all over them and mop up
the local diamond with them. 1t was
not game; it's an outrage for visitors
to be so rough. There is no use to go
into the horrible details for the score
of 10 to 3 tells it in figures eloquent
of slaughter.
Manager Russell says il won't oc-
cur again as they have caught the jinx
and buried it. The Bristol team which
claims the championship of the east
ern half of Prowers county has sched-
uled game here next Sunday and it
promises to be good one. The Bris-
tol boys have been playing a strong
and steady game and will give any
valley team a good argument

ELkS NEW HOME
Lamar Lodge No. 1919 Endorses Plans
for New Home and Bids Will be
Called for at Once.

The meeting of Lamar Lodge No.
1919, B. p. o. Elks, on Tuesday even
ing of this week was well attended,
and all present were much interested
in the plans for the new home accept
ed by the building committee of the
Eiks Home Association and submitted
to the lodge for approval.
The plans We're accepted unanimous.
ly and the committee instructed to go
2head and secure bids for its construc-
ton.
The plans call for a main building
6OxSO feet with = wide porch along the
60 foot front facing south OH Elm
street, and consisting of three floors.
The first floor will consist of a large
club room 4Ox55 feet, and various
amusement rooms for billiard and pool
tables, cards, etc, 4 kitchen, dining
room, and various other rooms. 1t
will have openings on both Fourth and
Elm streets. The club room will be
arranged 20 accommodate dancing also.
The second floor will consist of the
lodge room and various necessary par
aphanalia and ante rooms. The lodge
room will also extend up through the
third story with a large balcony that
covers part of the remaining section.
The balance of the third floor will be
cut into rooms for rent.
The estimates of the cost are such
as to make the building and furnish
ings easily in the reach of this prosper
Gus organization without the intensive
soliciting campaign which usually ac-
companies such an undertaking.

Apportionmen, Of State School Income
Fund.

The apportionment of the state pub
lie school income fund, collected
through the State Board of Land Com
missioners during the six months per-
iod between January 1st, 1922, and
June goth, 1922, was announced this
week by Katherine L. Craig, State
Superintendent of Public instruction.
The amount certified to the State Aud
itor for distribution was SAT- 1885,
which is the largest amount that has
ever been distributed to the schools OF
the state in any previous six months
period.
Collections made through the State
Board of Land Commissioners during
the last six months have been unusual
" good. and are held by that Board
to be indicative of the general improve
ment in business conditions that has
occurred in agricultural and stock
growing districts Of the state.
The apportionment by counties
which is based upon school population
for this section is as follows:

BACA COUNTY FAIR
and Springfield Promises Big
Show.

Judge Eldon Allen of Springfield
was a Lamar visitor this week and was
interviewing our business men in re-
gard to special premiums to be award
ed to prize winners at the forthcom-
ing annual Baca county fair, which will
be held at Springfield September 13
to 16. The Judge found the sentiment
in Lamar strong in support of the fair
and secured a long list of special
premiums here. He says they have Sc
cured a larger and better line of spec
ial attractions for the fair this year
than ever before, and a more exciting
racing program will be given. The
crops of Baca county insure fine line
of exhibits and no pains will be spared
to make the fair u real hummer.

Gus points and they promise to have
one of the most unique and spectacular
exhibitions at Lamar that has ever
been given in the valley. The business
men of the city are assisting literally
in financing the big show and sufficient
interest has been shown already to in
sure its success. The full details will

PAVING MEETING
Property Owners and City Council
Meet to Discuss Paving
Matters.

A meeting was called last Tuesday
morning at the office of l. H. Myers
for the purpose of getting the Mayor,
city aldermen and Main street proper
ty owners together and discuss mat
ters connected with the question of
the proposed paving of eleven blocks
on Main street and adjoining. W. J.
Johnston acted as chairman Of the
meeting and the question of selecting
and compensation of the engineer in
charge Of the work was the principal
one discussed. 1t was unanimously
agreed that all the engineers who have
been interested in the work of the
proposed district be given an opportun-
ity to put in their proposition at the
next regular meeting of the aldermen
on August 7th with the reservation
that at the discretion of the board any
or all bids may be rejected. The senti-
ment was unanimous in favor of go
ing ahead with the work, and a dele
CATION of property owners decided to
make the trip to Pueblo this week to
inspect the new paving work going on
there. The discussion of the subject
of the material to be selected has been
adjourned until the engineer is select
ed and estimates can be made Of the
cost of the various kinds of paving.
Lamar has been n little slow about
starting in the work of real street
improvement, but she will not stay be-
hind the procession now that the ice
is broken.

Roman Roads Not For Modern Motors.

Few Americans motoring from Dur
ham, England, to London, over 200
miles. realize that the road they fol-
low was originally surfaced and con-
structed by the Romans.
1t was called Waiting Street and it
ran north to that Roman wall along
the Cheviot hills which kept out the
invading Picts and Scots. Having
perfect foundation, the road was easily
surfaced and maintained through all
those centuries.
But the motor car made necessary
its complete reconstruction. 1t was
the same with the more famous Ap-
plan Way out of Rome. The destruc-
tive suction of rubber tires demolish-
ed in ten years a monument which had
stood up under the wheel of traffic of
1000 years.-American Motorist.

PROwERS COUNTY COWS
Still Holding High Rank They Have
Gained in State Association.

The report of the state dairy com
missioner just issued shows that the
cows of the Prowers county associa-
tion are still maintaining the high
rank they have gained among the
dairy herds of the state. The high
COW for the month of June reported
by the various testing associations Of
the state is Guy Gilbert's No. 112
with record of ss.6 pounds OF but
terfat This association has 81 cows
producing over 40 pounds Of butter
fat which is the second highest num-
Der Of any association in the state.
The report shows that feed prices
are cheaper here in almost all lines
but alfalfa. Our farmers are getting
better price for alfalfa hay that
most any part Of the state.
