The whole case revolved around the
contention raised by some Colorado
stockmen that the government is no
more than private land owner in
the matter of state fence laws. A
number of states have fence laws
which make it impossible for a pri-
vate person to collect fees or damages
from owners of stock which stray
upon his land unless the land is fenc-
ed. The national forests are not fenc-
ed and on this the stockmen based
their refusal to pay grazing fees.

Through general smudging the fruit
growers of the Grand Junction dis
trict have been able to save about one
half their crop Notwithstanding the
severe freeze OF last week. In the
Canon City district. where smudging
was not resorted TO. it is feared that
nearly all the crop of fruit, including
the first strawberries. has been lost.
When q community has orchards
whose crop value mounts into hun
dreds OF thousands of dollars. the ex
penditure of a few thousand dollars
to protect that crop seems a necessity.
Even in Prowers county where num-
Der of large orchards are now of bear
ing age, it would be a profitable in
vestment for the owners to smudge in
the spring when frost threatens.-The
