Mrs. Perkins was a respectable
middle-aged widow who had to take a
few roomers to help out on expenses.
She was not quite sure that 1t was
right to have Billy rooming there, as
abe had an inherited prejudice against
actors, but he paid twice as much as
she had ever had before for the rooms,
did not cause any extra bother, and SO

human being much like the rest of us.

CONTROL OF RODENT PESTS
An ECONOMIC NECESSITl

Some Colorado Farm Pests" is tn,
title Of revised Circular No. 35, jus
issued by the office Of the Stat
EntOmolOgist, Colorado Agriculture
College. Fort Collins. This circula
discusses yarIous farm pests anc
give detailed suggestions for theiI
control. II is by w L. Burnett, dep,
uty in charge Of rodent control.
In former years, when the rang
was open. there was forage enough
for both cattle and rodents, but at tho
present time. conditions are different
the vast open range is almost gone
The fight Is on TO see which will get
the grass first, the rodent or the cat
tie, or what is left of the range. The
settler who is now farming this land
besides drouth and wind to contend
with, must also fight the rodents.
IL is true in the irrigated section
the prairie dogs have been driven 10
the higher ground, and under the
conditions are increasing, unless Ar-
uteal means have been taken TO ee-
auce their number. II is also tSAe
that on the irrigated land. ground
squirrels, field mice and pocket goph-
eFs are UhAlhg CoNuilOis Iuth iof
increasing in numbers.
With the fact facing US that
the annual loss from rodent pests
alone in Colorado, cannot be computed
in thousands but in millions Of dol
lars, it is very important that the
best possible methods for control
must be placed in the hands Of the
ranchmen OF the state, so that they
may combat these pests in an intelh-

BEWARE OF SEED BARGAINS
OF WHICH THERE ARE NONE

Agricultural College News Notes.
Papers having 4 large circulation
among farmers are beginning to car
~ the usual springtime advertising OF
cheap seed II unusual value existed
-ome one would be sure to see the
possibility Of making money and such
seeds would be snapped up before ad-
vertising could reach the public.
The usual quotations for seeds
meant to attract by their cheapness
are from seven and half to eight
and a half dollars bushel for alfalfa
seed, and about q dollar and half
higher for red clover seed. That is a
selling price to the farmer of from
twelve to fourteen cents a pound for
red clover. Since the dealer viii
pay the farmer twenty cents pound
for good seed, the farmer should be
suspicious of the quality of seed which
a dealer will retail for less than he
is paying the farmer for seed.
No seed firm conducts its business
as a philanthropy and when a firm
offers 70 sell seeds below the apparent
market price, be assured their value
is far below the market price.
So long as the fields have weeds in
them. seeds will be recleaned. so long
as seeds are recleaned, there will be
screenings, and so long as men viii
buy them, screenings will be sold.
II you think you have located de-
sirable seed at more satisfactory
price than most dealers quote. let the
Colorado Seed Laboratory give you
exact information as to the quality
of the seed you are considering. Send
a quarter pound of seed to the labor
atory and report as to how much of
it is really good seed, how much and
what weed seeds it contains, and the
