INTERESTED IN WEST.
Meat Supply Of the Future Must Come
From Intermountain Country.

Meat Supply Of the Future Must Come
From Intermountain Country.
The great interest being taken by
the cattle interests Of the country in
the coming National Western Stock
Show to be held in Denver during the
week of January S-15. is largely due
to the fact that the country is just
commencing to realize that the future
beef supply of the country must come
from the West. The West has the
only available pasture lands left. In
the corn states of the Middle West.
where heretofore the bulk of the beef
has been produced. the growing de-
mand for wheat and corn has resulted
in the breaking up of thousands of
acres of pasture lands and cropping
them to grain. On top of this the
great influx of settlers to the West
has almost driven the range cattle
man out OF the business and as result
the country is confronted by short
age of cattle. The West must be en-
couraged to grow cattle and the Ma
tional Stock Show at Denver provides
the method of starting the work. The
National Record Associations Of the
four principal beef breeds. the Short
horn, Hereford, Aberdeen-Angus and
Galloway, have arranged to have a
number of their best and most repre-
sentative herds on exhibition at the
show and each of the associations will
put up fifty head of bulls and heifers
selected by a committee from the lead
ing herds. These will be sold t pub
lie sale for whatever they will br lg
to western breeders in order to intro
duce the pure blood into the western
country.
The new farmers coming into the
West have not been taking hold of the
live stock business for two reasons.
First, few OF them are financially able
to buy a foundation herd and many Of
them have no knowledge Of the busi-
ness. 1t is expected that plans will be
made to finance some of the new
farmers who desire to start In cattle
growing, and educational work will be
conducted through the big show. At
both the show and conventions In Dem
yer, the cattle supply will be the prin-
cipal subject discussed. A special
train load OF feeder buyers from the
East are coming to the show for the
purpose of purchasing the car loads OF
fine stock cattle that will be on exhi-
bition aud incidentally to show the
profit there is in the business.

OPEN AIR ORCHARD HEATING
How Fruit Crop Of 1909 of Grand VAL
ley in Colorado Was Saved
from Frost.

The 1909 crop of fruit in the Grand
Valley in Colorado. from the Pans
AIDES above to Iona below, valued at
50. 900 600. owes its existence to
UNIQUE battle which was waged
against Jack Frost at time when tue
fruit was at its tenderest age, says
Scientific American. By unusual gem
eralship and the work of hundreds OF
enthusiastic volunteers the tempera'
ture in these orchards was actually
raised eight and nine degrees over 70
miles of territory and a precedent was
established which will mean much TO
the future.
In California 1t is said that the tenn
perature has been raised heretofore IN
some single orchards two or three de-
grees, but never to eight degrees, anu
never before has the work been car
ried on over so great an cara. flans
are now on foot to have every bearing
orchard in the Grand Valley protected
by next season, not that there is any
likelihood of frost every spring in this
section, but because the protection OF
this years experience is considered
cheap insurance.
The raising of the temperature over
this large area was accomplished by
means of some 100000 smudge pots OF
many different types. some burning OIL
for fuel and some coal, and placed at
intervals in the orchards. OIL was
carried to the pots in wagon tanks
equipped for the purpose. Spraying
machines were also used in distribu-
ting the OIL A large supply of light
ers was kept in readiness In dry
place. Many of these lighters we're
made by wrapping waste about a
twisted wire.
All operations were directed from
Grand Junction. Weather stations es-
tablished over much of the territory
and equipped with thermostats when
the threatening weather arrived made
half-hourly reports on the tempera-
ture to Grand Junction. When. final
ly, the danger point was approaching
warning was sent to all the ranchmen
to light the fires. Volunteers also in
nearly all walks of life made their
way in automobiles and wagons and
on bicycles over the entire area.
So well did this orchard-heatins
idea work that. while the temperature
outside the heated area dropped as
low as 20 degrees. within the heated
area 1t did not go below 29h. Seven
ty-five per cent. of all the fruit trees
which were in bloom were cared for
directly. while even orchards owned
by those who were skeptical of the
idea were saved by the fires of the ad
joining territory.
