certain localities however. as soil.
and to some extent climatic condi-
tions, may vary quite widely within
comparatively limited areas
Any land nearly level or with a
gentle slope which is adapted to other
orchard crops can be used for straw
berries. Such land may cost from
$3.50 to $500 or more per acre, if
improved, depending largely upon its
location. In fact, land valued at
900 per acre is being used for
this purpose in some places. An acre
of Strawberries in favorable season
and on suitable land may yield from
200 to 500 crates per acre, and as
high as 500 crates have been taken
from this area in single season. An
average price per crate is not far
from 81, although in seasons of
scarcity the grower may receive as
high as $3.50.
The estimated cost of growing an
acre of strawberries. commercially. in
Colorado, is about 500 to Sl25.
Some growers consider that in ordin-
arily good years about one-half of the
returns is profit. Well managed plan
tations commonly bring $500 an acre
for the crop, and this is often ex-
ceeded under especially good care
With the exception of harvesting. one
man can tend about five acres of
trawberries.
In estimating the cost and profits
in this business il must be remem-
bered that the first crop cannot be
harvested until the second from set
ting. After this annual crops may
be gathered as long as the plant cor
| tinues productive, from two to four
years on good land After taking
off the last crop the plants are turn
ed under and some late forage or
truck crop is planted. SO that the
land does not lie idle during the re-
mainder of the season.
During the past few seasons straw
berry growing has received consid-
cradle discouragement on account Of
the dry winters. But as this is a
matter which is not likely to continue
indefinitely. and as prices have been
exceptionally high. the outlook for
strawberry raising in the hands of
the careful grower appears especial
ly good.

HOUSEKEEPING.

There are thousands of women in
the state of Colorado today who are
confronted with the same problems
of housekeeping, Women are ask
ing how they can make housekeeping
easy and more pleasant: and this
applies to the ranch as well as to
the town woman. Many women are
not willing to use the poor, slow
methods of % years ago when there
are many better ones in use. 1t is
true that our grandmothers We're
busy women, for they had to make
the carpets. candles, preserves, salt
the meats, make the clothing, knit
the mittens and hoods, and do almost
everything else that was needed in
the home. The factories of today
have taken from the home many of
these industries.
In the old training the daughter
helped her mother with the work,
but this practice is no longer as com
mon as il used to be. On account
of modern utensils and conveniences,
the real housework is less. but more
and better management is needed IN
the housekeeping of today The day
will come when the housekeeper
must know the easiest and most sys
tematic way of doing things. Nine
ty-fve per cent of the food we eat
is prepared by women. Brains must
he used in planning foods for people
in the house, and mother should
know how important il is to have
suitable food and to have it well
cooked. We study the needs of ami
mails in our barns and in our public
parks. and we should be Just as anX-
ious about our children.
1t is impossible to oVerestimate the
importance of proper feeding in
childhood it is the first few years
that count. Children sometimes dis
like certain food. but a tactful moth
er can do great deal. Does 1t not
seem that every mother would be
willing to give good. wholesome. sim
pie food to her child for the first D
or 10 years of its life. knowing that
it means good health, good teeth and
a good stomach for the rest of the
child's life?-Mary f. Rausch, Colo

WHAT EDITOR MARTIN
THINKS ABOUT THE LAW

To one familiar with the game sit
uation as il exists in Colorado today
the spectacular newspaper talk dish
ed out by few fellows over in Dem
yer who have never made a hunting
trip outside of some friends COW
pasture. riles one up to finish They
talk about the heartless hunters who
kill does and fawns and state that
the season should be closed altogeth-
er because of it. and never stop to
think of the fool legislature that
made the law which permits them
being killed. Fact is, "a true sports
man Will not kill IA doe or fawn. if he
knows it, and in a majority of cases
those referred to as having been kill
ed by 'sportsmen" were killed by
some mutton-head such as have been
getting into print regarding the clos
ing of the deer season entirely.
The law in existence three years
ago. permitting the killing of deer
with horns only, was the only sane
law that we have ever had The proof
of this statement is shown by the fact
that at that time less than one-third
of the hunting licenses were issued
as were issued last season, which
goes to show that only hunters who
understood the traits of this noble
game would undertake to get buck,
even then many of them returned
home empty handed as the game law
now stands anybody. who is handy
with pop-gun or nigger-shooter"
can go over into the White river
country and kill a doe or a fawn,
during the open season.
Another law that should be enacted
is one prohibiting the use of auto
matte rifles larger than % caliber,
within the state. They are not only
dangerous in inexperienced hands,
but they do not give the game one
chance in ten.
1t is our opinion that if the law
permitted the killing of but one deer
with horns. our t-grandchildren
would live to enjoy the sport in this
state: provided, however, our state
game department would stop that
bunch of Ute Indians from unlawful
ly slaughtering about five or six hun
dred deer each fall, after the season
closes, along the lower White and
Bear rivers.
II Is up to the next legislature to
give the sportsmen of Colorado "a
sane game law.-Saturday's Palisade

leadership of Joe Smith of Murray
made the trip to Rush valley yester-
day and brought home about 1000
bunnies as the result of a days sport.
The party numbered considerably
over 100 and covered the country "A
little further south than the hunt of
two weeks ago. The train service
over the Salt Lake Route was ex-
cellent. A car was set out for the
hunters at Ajax and another at Frost.
The hunters divided and hunted in
the sagebrush around these places.
The farmers wereon hand with wag-

not have as long a walk as they did
two weeks ago. The party came home
without an accident of any kind and
