gan to blow bubbles of oil over the tori

RockWELL'S SUGGESTIONS FOR
eETTERMENT OF AGRICULTURE

Lieut.. Governor Robert F. Rockwell
spoke at the Colorado Farmers Con-
gress on the subject OF Diagnosing
Agriculture's Ills and Prescribing
Remedies" His summary Of sugges-
tions to other farmers included the
following
Let us, both financially and with
our personal attendance, back up our
various farm and livestock organiza-
tions and through them let us work
for the best interests of our industry
as whole.
Let us through cooperative mar
keting organizations, or otherwise,
work for the better marketing and dis
tribution of our products. Let us
raise the standard and grade of the
products we grow. Let us have the
proper stamp and mark on what we
have to sell and see that this standard
is maintained. The Rocky Ford cant
aloupe is known throughout the Unit
ed States. Why not Colorado pinto
beans, Colorado head lettuce, Colorado
apples, potatoes? Let lis, through
square dealing and proper marking
and grading gain the confidence of
the Denver and other city markets in
our state Every man who ships poor
potatoes, apples, strawberries, or but
ter to market, hurts not only himself
but also the other shippers of these
products. Let us through cooperative
marketing seek to raise the standard
of our products and then let us main
tain that standard.
"Our state and federal inspection of
fruits and vegetables has, in my opin.
ion, done great service for US in the
grading and inspection of our ship.
ments. l think it has tended to raise
the standard of our fruit and vegeta,
BILE shipments until they are coming
to be recognized more and more for
their grade and quality, as is the
case in the Northwest and in Califor'
mia. In my opinion, we should give
the inspection service every co-opera.
tion and assistance in their work in
our behalf
Let us take the excellent help we
can get from our Agricultural College
at Fort Collins, and it's extension de.
partment. Through them let us study
our soil, climatic conditions, pests and
other problems to the end that we may
diversity our crops and raise what is
most suitable for our particular

TO WAGE AGGRESSIVE CAMPAIGN

Washington. D. c., July 2S.-The Re-
publican party is going to conduct an
aggressive campaign in all parts Of the
nation. The party is going to pre-
sent to the people list of the many
achievements beneficial to the people
that have been brought about since
1920. The Republicans are determined
that the people of the nation shall
have full opportunity to become ac-
quainted with the many good thing
the party has done for the people
gers feel that the people have a right
to be presented with all, not part of
the facts. The Republicans are going
to point to the fact that the program
of Calvin Coolidge has been one of
economy, of tax reduction, of effici-
ency; that he has steadily pursued an
honest direct course tending to bring
about better condition through every
part of the United States Not alone
will the appeal be made to Republi-
cans but to every thinking man and
woman throughout the nation. The
party realizes that the American
people have already achieved their
own understanding OF President Cool
idge; that he is the choice OF the
people and is not the choice Of any
set of politicians. The primary
elections showed that Coolidge was
the choice OF the people. Chairman
Butler, in his statement issued here,
said: 1--WE have party platform and
a presidential ticket that will make it
possible TO conduct the campaign
everywhere in the open as energetical
ly in one part Of the country as in an.
other, and to present our cause with
the utmost frankness." Mr.. Butler
stated that he was particularly
pleased to have received a large mum.
Der of communications from men and
women who admit that their interest
In previous campaigns had only been
incidental, but that they are now e1-
tremely anxious to actively participate
in the present campaign. Coolidge's
clean record will gain for him the
support of many who, this year for
the first time will vote the Republican
ticket.
