Denoer Markets.
DENVER UNION Stock y

DENVER UNION STOCK YARDS,
Feb. 8-The local market ad-
vanced 10 to 20 cents on Monday
of last week but later on account
of big runs and big daily de-
clines at all eastern markets, all
the advance was lost and prices
closed the week anywhere from
10 to 25 cents lower than a week
ago. The right good cattle sold
to very good advantage but there
was large number of the half
fat and palmer kinds on all mar
kets and these suffered most.
Beef steers sold at $5. 90 to SIS. .65
for best grades and fair steers
at S4.50 to $500. Choice cows
brought S4.85 on Monday and
$4.75 on Wednesday but late in
the week few got above S4.5O,
prices ranging mostly from this
down to $500 on the best, with
fair to good largely at S3.25 to
$4.0O. Bulls held up well but
veal calves closed about quar-
ter lower with bulk at $500 to
$3.50. Feeder and stocker trade
was fair. The demand was very
good for the good fleshy dehorned
steers but all grades are lower
owing to the eastern slump, the
palmer steers suffering most.
Bulk of the good to choice steers
brought S4.25 to $500 and fair
to good $3.50 to S4.25. Today's
receipts were l, ZOO head. Market
slow and weak.
The hog demand was especial
ly good and the market in fine
shape. Prices paid here are
higher than eastern quotations
and liberal shipments are wanted.
The local market advanced 25 to
40 cents last week bulk of good
hogs now selling at Sc. 90 to Sc. 40.
The sheep demand was good
all week and the market fully
steady. Good ewes sold at S4. so
to S4.60 and lambs brought 81. 10
to S7.25. Yearlings sold up to
$500.

A speaker once said: There
are two classes of farmers, one
class who farm the soil and an
other class who farm the farm
ers." This does not apply as
much as it did years ago. Prac-
tical by vocation and surround
ings, the modern farmer has
pretty well quit being farmed.
Better opportunities for general
education have placed the farmer
in a position well able to protect
himself, and the cartoons still
published in many of the be-
nighted city papers showing
Rube in the act of buying a gold
brick or waiting patiently to see
the Masonic Temple" turn
round, are as stale as the nuts
which out of season drop from
the spreading chestnut tree. The
average farmer of today is as
shrewd as the average business
man. Not only that but he is
rapidly becoming an acknowl-
edged scientist in his profession.

Whatever may be said con-
cerning the action of California
and Nevada in opposition to the
Japanese, it is clearly a fact that
the people of those states feel
they have sufficient cause to
justify them.
1t makes a difference whose
OK is gored."
The North could talk vehe-
mently about the negro in the
South, knowing little and ex-
periencing less of real conditions
and causes for contention.
Certain of the mining camps
and other labor districts have
taken the law into their own
hands and drawn dead lines"
across which Cinnamon and
workmen of some other nation
alities were forbidden to cross.
The organized, American work
men of those districts did this
for their own protection and in
nearly every case they made it
stick.
Californians object to their
children being obliged to attend
school with Japanese children.
and that bit of personal pride is
to their credit.
The Japanese are not Ameri-
cans, and in the main they don't
want to be. And above all things
else, we believe in America for
Americans. There is much be-
ing said about California trying
to plunge the United States into
a war with Japan. Personally
we glory in California's spirit.
1t isn't a part of the spirit of
this country or its people, to
practice servility.
We see no particular reason
why Japanese should be allowed
to swarm all over this country,
any more than that Chinese
should be allowed to do so. They
come here, presumably to share
its opportunities and call for the
protection of their own flag anc
nation. If, in the event of {
future war with Japan, this
country was populated with the
people of that nation, they woulo
have it invaded without having
to land an army. They woult
have not only their well informed
spies but their soldiers here
ready and able to engage in gor
lila warfare. To allow such ;
situation would be worse thai
madness.
1t may be that California il

1t is energy and effort on the
part of citizens which makes
things move. Well directed eff
fort in giving as much publicity
to local resource merits as possi-
BILE, coupled with good planning
and management, can create a
genuine boom. But all should
join in the effort. There is no
good reason why the lot of
"tight-wads to be found in
every community should be al
lowed to lay back and chuckle in
their sleeves while less interested
citizens do all the boosting. 1t
often happens that this class are
among the largest owners of
property, yet it is hard to get
them to contribute a dollar or dc
anything whatever to advance
property values. Their system
is to let the other fellows boost.
Such people do much to discour-
age progressive enterprise, and
in some places have killed it en-
tirely, the sentiment among
many who were anxious to work
unitedly, being: I'VE would as
soon see the town or community
go back as to work our daylights
out to advance the property value
of these skinfint holders.

The Disc and Moldboard
Plops COMPARED

Shall l buy a disc or moldboard
plow? is a question frequently asked
by the farmer. The conditions under
which the plow is expected to operate
must help answer it.
All farmers are acquainted with the
moldboard plow and know how to OPP
crate it to the best advantage. The
disc plow, on the other hand, is new
er invention, and has not been used so
extensively. 1t is harder to operate
successfully, and for that reason has
not given the general satisfac tion
which should be obtained. The use for
the disc plow, however, is gradually
growing. and in few years it will
have almost as large place, especially
in the western states, as the moldboard
plow.
Under similar conditions, the disc
Is of lighter draft, but this difference
is not so much as is often claimed by
makes it pull somewhat easier than
sliding friction. Because of the rolling
motion of the disc and its cutting ef-
feet, it is not SO likely to clog as the
moldboard plow. What the disc can
not cut it will roll over.
The disc is capable of blowing ground
that has become too dry and hard for
the moldboard plow. This is often
times of much value. as it is not neces-
sary to wait for rain, and the seed can
be planted at the proper time.
For humid sections and irrigated
lands, the moldboard plow must be
considered superior. Under favorable
conditions for blowing, where the soil
is not too dry, the moldboard plow
pulverizes and turns the soil more
satisfactorily. 1t also handles sod to
better advantage.
To do the same amount of work, the
disc plow will require very little
sharpening compared to the moldboard
plow. This makes the running expenses
Of the disc very much less than that Of
a moldboard.
The disc should not be of too large
diameter. A 4-inch disc for general
use is to be preferred to one of larger
diameter. The 24-inch disc will pull
verize the soil more than % or 30
inch one. The draft is trifie more on
the smaller one, but the difference is
more than made up by the class of
work it is able to do.
The disc should not cut too wide a
furrow. 1t is far better to use two
discs "a inches in diameter, each one
cutting inches in width. than to use a
30-inch disc cutting ID or 16 inches in
width. Taking narrow furrow tends
to make the bottom less corrugated.
Flowing the same ground year after
year with the disc does not keep It in
as good condition as if plowed with a
moldboard plow
The moldboard plow is generally
considered best for humid and irrigated
sections. and the disc for dry or semi
arid sections.

COLUMBIA SHORT
ON TR OK MEET
Deficit of 500 Instead of
Profit of $1,000, Causes
Much Talk.

NEW YORK. Feb. 23.--In some uuac-
countable manner the Columbia Uni
versity Track Association is short abouo
500 as a result OF the indoor games
held in Madison Square Garden recently.
The seriousness of the matter TO the
track team is shown 10y the fact that
II. r. Hall. the manager. has applied
TO the board Of student representatives.
a Columbia for aid In financing his
team for the remainder Of the season.
IF he is unsuccessful in obtaining thu
desired aid il is likely that the team
viii be considerably hampered i'm its
outdoor work. and that the manager
viii he debarred from graduation.
In point OF attendance the meet was
one OF the most successful ever held
by the Columbia Association From the
number 90 persons present IL was esti-
mated that the management would
profit TO the extent of about 81 0DU BUt
when the receipts were counted il was
found that instead OF being ahead. the
association was short nearly 500.
How this came about il has thus fa~
been impossible for the Columbia man
ageT 10 explain. So far IS he can learn
the ticket stubs tally with the amount
OF money taken I'm At the doors, but
the fact remains that the track team is
out 800. and is i'm pressing need OF
! financial aid.
