DESTROY STALKS,

Winter Corn Crops Are Impor-
tant AS Soil Builders Says
Marshall

The two most important things be
fore Sumter county now are des-
truction CT cotton stalks and the
planting of winter cover crops, de-
declared George 0. Marshall, county
agent, today. Sumter's soil must
must be made more productive, he
says, today. and the planting Of leg
gumes is the cheapest way to gain
this end.

Marshall, "has recently sent out
two circular letters dealing with
the following subjects: Fall and

First Season S Experiments
Show That Sugar Beets Can
Pro6tably be Grown In Valley
(By Carl b. Stow

Usually experiments are costly to
the one who makes them. And in
nearly every instance when some
thing new is proposed and tried out
the results are disappointing. This
is particularly true when introduce
ing some new crop in an agricul-
tural district such as ours. because
all new experiments and ventures
are usually made before the one ex-
perimenting thoroughly understands
the problem. and too, because ex-
periments do materially Interfere
with the regular duties OF farm
work. thus the experiment is natural
ly neglected.
However. there is an exception to
this rule this year In the experiments
OF growing sugar beets in this val
ley. Several hundred acres Of beets
have been grown the past season,
and many instances OF results from
these experiments will even astonish

drew attention TO the fact that two
Of Colorado's main industries-wool
and sugar-would be impossible Of
success without . protective tariff.

Dairy Demonstrations
Until November First

On August 10, 1923. C. NJ. Long.
OF the Extension Service of the Hol-
stein-Friesian association of Amer
lea. came to the San Luis valley and
public spirited citizens accompanied
him on tour of the valley to start
campaign which resulted in the or
ganization of the San Luis Valley
Dairy association.
Mr.. Long was here at the expense
OF the Holstein-Friesian association
of America, and his visit did not
cost the people OF this valley "a cent
and he was here simply to AID in the
development Of what he declared to
be one of the finest sections OF the
United States that he had seen for
the development of the dairy indus
try In connection with diversified
farming.
Mr.. Long is coming again at the
expense OF his association. without
any charge to the San Luis Valley
Dairy association either for his sal
ary or expenses. and will be with us
from October twentieth until Nov
ember first inclusive.
Meetings have been arranged In
different parts of the valley and the
farmers are urged to attend these
meetings There Is no question but
that they are OF great value to every
land owner In the valley because.
whether he wants to milk cows or
not, II is undoubtedly true that the
development OF the dairy industry
here will materially and rapidly in
crease the value marketability OF the
land. II is also unquestionably true
that the raising of cattle. especially
dairy. cattle must go hand In hand
with the sugar beet industry. which

manifold Children who hate geOg-
raphy find their interest in this dry
study awakened by wanting to know
just where their letters are going. His
tory also distasteful to many, is made
a pleasant pastime for the same rea-
son, and languages become absOrbingly
interesting because the American chill
dren want to know something about
the difference in the words which they
use and those which their correspond
ents across the sea use to mean the
same thing.
EducatiOnally, all this is of high
value, in the opinion Of American edu-
Gators. Internationally, it is Of still
greater value, in the opinion Of those
who are promoting the undertaking.
because 1t definitely promotes interna-
tiOnal understanding and friendship
and leads therefore, into international
peace. To the school, the teacher and
the community, 1t presents a new line

JUNIOR RED CROSS
BR0ADENS SCOPE
Of SCHOOL WORK
School Children Of America Establish
Correspondence With Schools in
Other Countries.

An opportunity to greatly broaden
and enlarge the scope Of work of the
school children Of America which was
opened by the action Of the last annual
convention Of the National Educational
Association in San Francisco. is being
developed by the Junior Red Cross Of
America. A resolution endorsing in
very positive terms the international
school correspondence of the Junior
American Red Cross and urging
schools in this country to develop this
correspondence as far as and as thor
oughly as possible, was passed by the
Association, and edit cators Of America
now are cooperating in the work.
A number Of schools in America on
their own initiative already have Or
ganized chapters Of the Junior Red
Cross and established correspondence
with schools in Albania, Austria. Bel
gium, Bulgaria, Czechoslovakia.
France, Holland. Hungary, Italy,
Jugo-Slavia, Poland. Rumania. Scot.
land, Switzerland, South Africa and
New Zealand. In some cases. they are
getting most interesting replies. In
few instances such as Alaska, Hawaii.
the Philippines, Porto Rico and the
Virgin Islands. all Of which are Ameri-
can dependencies, there is an exchange
Of correspondence material which 81
very helpful in working up the letters
going TO the foreign children.
This work, so far, has been carried
on chiefly in the primary and interme-
diate grades Of the public, parochial
and private schools where Junior Red
Cross chapters have been organized,
but all grades may participate in the
preparation Of the material, according
TO the instructions sent out by the
Junior Red Cross Service in Washing.
