On Sunday he was told that he was

vinced and discussed with Miss Fitz-

spoke OF an extended trip through the

CANT ACREAGE REDUCED
According to Story Sent from La
Junta to the Kansas City Packer

A dispatch sent out from LaJunta to
the Kansas City Packer, would leave
the impression that fewer cantaloupes
will be grown in this vicinity next sea-
son. The dispatch says:
"LaJunta, Colo. Cantaloupe growers
in this section declare that the acreage
next year will be light, because of the
failure to obtain satisfactory returns
from the 1914 crop. About 800 acres
were planted to cantaloupes in this i'm
mediate locality last spring. Total ship
ments from this point were about l3O
carloads. The yield was good and quality
fine, but the market was too low for
profit to the growers.
1t is also said here that other canta-
loupe sections in the valley will cut
down their acreage to small proportions
next season. No complaint is lodged
against the distributors for the poor
results last year, for the growers re-
cognize the distributors were as hard
hit as themselves. Usage Gem and La
Junta White Meats are the varieties
grown here

HIGH LINE COMPANY
Holds Annual Meeting, Elects Board
of Directors and Organizes
with Same Officers

The annual meeting of the Rocky
Ford High Line Canal company was
held it this city on Monday and brought
together good majority of the stock
holders, who showed their approval of
the way in which the affairs of the
company had been conducted during
the past year by reelecting the same
board of directors, with one exception,
as last year.
By practically unanimous vote the
following directors wire elected, the
last named being the new member on
the board: w. L. Sickenberger. E. F..
Weiland, C. E. Delong, E. d. Haines
and w. C. Beatty.
The reports of the officers were read
and adopted, as well as the recommend
ations of Superintendent Sickenberger,
which in part were as follows:
1.-The river has been cutting close to
the canal again between waste gates No
2 and No. 8 and in the opinion Of your
superintendent, it is very necessary that
considerable amount of protection work
be done here in order to Safeguard the
line of the canal.
The Apishapa syphon needs to be pro-
teeted in the creek bed as there now is a
portion of the pipe exposed to the action
of the sun and air. Another flood. such as
came down this year. might undermine it
and endanger the syphon itself. The
waste gate at this point has been repaired
and under normal conditions should stand
another year. but as now situated. is too
far above the syphon and too far off the
line of the canal. 1t should be replaced
with concrete structure, according to
the original plans, as soon as funds are
available.
With the exception of few places,
washed by food. which must be levelled
for road purposes, the general condition
of the canal is excellent There will be an
immense amount of thistles to fight the
coming winter and next spring. which
will inereass the cost Of maintenance.
The establishment of the grade line OF
the canal is almost completed and the
work Of adjusting checks and Of placing
lateral gates on grade should be continu-
ed,
would recommend an assessment Of
$500 per share. which IS a redpctlon OF
soc from last year and should provide
for the usual operating expense. for our
cost of continuing the defense Of the
water suit and do the work herein re-
commended"
The board of directors met yesterday
and organized by the. election of the old
officers, as follows:
Superintendent-W L. Sickenberger
Secretary-L. r. Pollock.

HAVE WATER WHEN NEEDED
Supreme Court Decides Priority Hold
ers Have Full Power

Holders of first water DEGREES are en-
titled to water for irrigation at any
time of the year they need it. This is
the substance of decision by the state
supreme court on Monday in the case of
Chas. w. Comstock, state engineer,
versus the Larimer & Weld Reservoir
company.
About five years ago the company
brought, suit against Comstock and
holders of first DEGREES asking the court
to establish an irrigation season under
which arrangement reservoir COM
panies could fill their reservoirs be-
tween October and April 10. The low
er court created such a season fixing
the date from October Is to April 10.
The supreme court reversed the find
ing of the lower court on the ground
that holders of first DEGREES are entitled
to water whenever they need it.

CREAMERY co. ORGANIZED
Board of Directors and Officers Chos-
en- and Plant Will Likely Be
Accepted This Week

Pursuant to the call of the executive
stockholders of the new creamery
company at the Otero Agricultural
Club rooms last Saturday afternoon.
1t was expected by some that the
plant would be inspected and accepted
at this meeting, but it was the opinion
of those present that the plant should
be inspected by an expert before it
was accepted by the stockholders in
order to determine whether or not the
company installing the plant was living
up to the agreement, and it is under
stood that the state dairy commission
er will be invited to look over the plant
some time this week.
1t was voted to incorporate under the
name of the Rocky Ford creamery COM
pany, and the election of a board of
directors resulted as follows: c. j.
Cover, Clark Kitchen, G. |. Miller, w.
b. Vaudeville, Roy Seeman.
George Jones, Fred Johnston and
George Bernard were appointed a COM
mittee to draft constitution and by
laws and the meeting adjourned until
Saturday afternoon, December 10,
when meeting will be held at the
same place to hear the reports and
possibly to accept the plant.
At a meeting of the board of direc-
tors an organization was perfected
with the following officers:
President C. J. Cover
Vice President G. |. Miller
Secretary Clark E. Kitchen
Treasurer Seeman.

ON THE HOG.
John Grattan Says Pure Bred Pigs
Are Most Profitable Stock
On the Farm.

The time has come in the history
Of the world when meat OF all kinds
will remain high in price compared
with the prices OF the past. We will
admit that in the past meat animals
have been sold at less than cost Of
production. and that in the future
there is sure to be a profit over the
average cost OF production of all
meat animals. There is no other
animal which will make as much meat
out OF a give amount OF grain as will
the hog, and the better the hog is
bred the better will be the gains. so
the first requisite in the hog business
is a good pure bred boar 1t is not
necessary to buy pure bred sows as
they are expensive and the right kind
OF a boar will impress the flesh form
ing tendencies on the offspring. One
might just as well try to feed Jcr-
sey for beef as to feed scrub hog
for pork. Ii is simply waste OF feed
Just like throwing it in the river.
There are number OF good breeds
OF hogs, but after trying several ]
have chosen the Duroc Jersey and
have never been sorry for my choice.
They are a quiet. docilc hog that
loves 10 eat and get fat. They are
very hardy, grazc well on alfalfa and
always have all the pigs SOW should
or can well raise.
Alfalfa is the nucleus of the hog
business i'll the west We get great
deal OF the growth from alfalfa pas
ture and alfalfa hay and the cost OF
this is so small that in comparison
with the gains we hardly stop 10 es-
innate il
Yet for all OF the alfalfa | always
feed my hogs grain. | believe in the
rapid growth and early marketing OF
the hog. no animal is making money
unless it is gaining in weight, and the
quicked it is sold the quicker the
money is turned to commence work
over again.
Yet above all things here is the rea-
son why the western farmer should
grow hogs, Grain in the west is
cheaper than it is in the east. Every
100 miles we go east means an in
crease to the farmer in the price that
he obtains for his grain excepting
corn. and also an increase in the price
OF his live stock excepting hogs.
Those things we ship we ship into
the west are better price to the
farmer than those things we produce
in excess OF our consumption, and
therefore have TO pay the freight out
for market. Hogs are one OF the

Officers for Coming Year

At a meeting of the Rocky Ford
Poultry association last Friday evening
the reports of officers upon the recent
show were submitted and found to be
quite satisfactory to the members.
1t is proposed, if possible, to secure a
judge from the east for the show of
1915, and to this end other poultry as
sociations of the state will be asked to
employ the same man, so that it will be
worth while for good man to come
out.

chosen to conduct the affairs for the
coming year:
President-O. C. Frantz
Vice President-H Henry Wine

STATE WILL BE DRY.
Most Drastic Prohibitory Laws Ever
offered in any State Proposed
For Colorado.

Denver, Colo, Dec. l5.-lhe Col
orado District Attorneys assoccia-
will meet at the capitol on December
2Sth. call having been issued by NJ.
w. Purcell. of Colorado Springs. who
is president OF the association. The
purpose OF the meeting is to discuss
proposed legislation to enforce the
statewide prohibition amendment.
Purcell has outlined some laws
which he intends TO offer the asso-
ciation, confident that they will be
approved practically as drafted. The
measures are the most drastic OF their
kind ever offered in any state. Brief
Iy, Purccll's proposed law is as fol-
lows:
A law making the manufacture,
sale. barter. exchange, or giving away
of malt, vinous or spurious liquors IN
any quantity, felony punishable by
confinement >in the pcnitentiary at
hard lobar for not less than one or
more than ten years. 3,
A lew defining a bootleggcr and
providing that person convicted OF
bootlegging shall be deemed a telon
and punished by confinement IN the
'penitentiary at hard labor Tor not less
than three years nor more than iour-
teen years.
A. law making the owner OF prop
crty. who WILL knowingly. allow an
other to SELL barter, exchange or give
away liquors on his premises equally
,,,,;Iiv With the person selling. and
punished equally.
A law declaring the building where
in liauor is manufactured or sold
nuisance. to be ordered torn down
or sold to pay all costs, expenses and
ncpaIties at the discretion OF the
A law compelling all common car
riers conveying liquors into the state
for personal use" to file with the
county court a written statement, CIV
ING the names of the consignor and
the consignee. and character and
quantity OF liquors delivered to each
person. and fixing severe pehai'y
Tor the violations thereof.
Purcclls proposed statute also con-
tains a provision making the possess
ion OF federal liquor tax prima facie
evidence OF violating the law, as well
as an custer" provision empowering
the governor summarily to remove
from office any officer, district at
torney or Judge who fails to perform
his duty in enforcing the law and al
fixing the penalties provided by law,
Discussing the proposed statute
Mr. Purcell said: Let us profit by
The experience OF other states where,
in like laws have been enacted. and
always bear in mind that lax enforce
ment and weak laws are the pro-
Jmctivc causes of the growth OF per
;mTy corruption and kindred vices in
the community and bring grief. vexa,
tion and expense TO tax payers ana
iaw-abiding citizens generally, with
out accomplishing results.

tlins we ship into Colorado. Wheat.
one OF the best hog feeds. is one Of
the crops we ship out and therefore
the Colorado farmer gets usually at
the Denver market 80 cents per hun
drcd less for his wheat than farm
cr gets on the Kansas City market
Allowing that we give our hogs
what alfalfa they will reasonably con-
sumo with an allowance OF grain and
allowing all the alfalfa is worth, we
every 100 pounds OF grain fed. Now,
ii hogs are worth SO per hundred, this
is S2.25 per hundred for our wheat. I
hogs bring 81 per hundred this means
Sl75 per hundred for our wheat.
Wheat should be ground and fed
dry in self feeder. \ small miH
that we hitch two horses TO is the
most practical grinder for the farmer
who has idle horses.
I. do not believe in going into the
hog business all over as some people
do. but it is business that we can
slackcn up on or expand in so easily
that one can easily keep within the
bounds OF profit, that is, follow grain
and hog prices.
Following the business intelligently
one must be able to get ahead on
feed. For example, my wheat is
worth Sl00 at threshing time, | can
afford to hold this until raise hogs
to eat it up. In other words always
keep some grain on hand.
This is good economic practice i'll
all farm management, try and get a
year ahead instead OF a year behind.
