ters has been given and there are a
number of records of plot yields of

Another interesting observation is
that some of the heaviest yielding
varieties and some of the favorites
in some localities are not white peas.
Other things being equal we want a
white pea, but for feeding it will not
pay to sacrifice yield to color as
chemical analysis shows practically
no difference in food elements in
different colors of peas 1t is a big
problem and needs more work.

DR.. Vaplon On Poultry.

The poultry house should be
clean, comfortable and convenient
1t does not matter what material is
used in construction so long as
proper conditions are furnished. The
door should be made wide enough
for wheelbarrow or push cart to
enter. Carrying out the droppings
is hard work, wheeling is easier. A
house is more likely to be kept
clean; it should be covered with a
few inches of earth and lots of
straw. The poultry house is a
workshop and playhouse in bad
weather and should be light and
airy and roomy. Cold feet does not
help the egg basket.
The same rules that govern the
proper feeding dairy COWS should be
applied to the feeding of laying
hens. Variety such as can be
grown on any farm, should be fur
nished. The San Luis Valley is a
kingdom unto itself in the line of
feeds. Oats, wheat, peas put in the
litter for breakfast, ground oats or
barley and bran for noon mash.

and art were only avocations. He
had already been ordained and

elsewhere. Still his pen was busy

following this with many reviews,
poems, editorials, magazine articles
and several novels.

Diseases OF Hogs.

Thursday morning DR.. Glover took
up brief review of hog cholera and
sounded warning to the farmers to
continue their vigilance against this
disease. There are getting to be so
many hogs in the valley that the dan
ger is great-the fact that the dis
ease is not here at present does not
mean that 1t will stay out, unless
shipments into the valley are careful

cess but too much of a current OF
air passing thru the incubator may
cause too rapid evaporation. 1t is a
good plan to set a hen at the same
time a machine is started and to OBJ
serve daily the amount of evapor-
alton taking place in the eggs under
a hen. Too rapid evaporation in the
machine will be shown by too large
an air surface in the eggs.
Not enough heat is the cause of
enormous loss of baby chicks. A
bunch of newly hatched chicks may
be able to warm up, after awhile, in
a box; so would pair of twin
babies in cold bed; but in the
meantime, what? A thorough
chilling is almost fatal to a chick s
future; it will either kill or stunt 1t

Lots of room in Colorado mark
cts for eggs and poultry. About
2 1-2 million dollars of Colorado
money is being sent away for poul-
try products each year But we
should not expect to make much
money on the home grown poultry
and eggs in competition with Kan
sas stuff. The eggs produced on
the Kansas farm cost practically
nothing to produce and consequent
ly can be sold at low price and
still bring profit. Our problem is
the production of superior article.
Quality counts in every line of ag-
ricultural production. A quantity
of uniform and high quality will
bring the demand for our goods. II
an egg circle is formed in a COM
munity, one person should have en-
tire and sole charge of the ship

sibility to not only the circle but to
the consumer. A bad egg in a ship

"Successful' is hardly the word to
completely express the splendid re-
suits of the Agricultural Short
Course held in Monte Vista this
week. The efficiency of the corps of
instructors from the State Agricul-
tural College was at the maximum,
through a complete preparation for
their coming. Advertising and
other expense was not spared by the
High Order of Grunts, under whose
auspices the course was held, and
the college people stated that they
had never conducted short course
where better interest was manifested
or where they had received more
complete cooperation from an or
ganization in charge of arrange
ments. Miss Haynes, who was in
charge of the Women's department,
declared that she was greatly pleased
at the preparations made for her
lectures and demonstrations. These

tendance.
The serious illness of Dr. Keezer

at the Short Course and his place was
filled by DR.. French, Valley Agricul-
turist Thomas and W. H. Olin.

The Field Peas.

Mr.. Thomas gave very interest
ing and instructive talk on Peas, a
brief synopsis of which is as follows:
Peas was one of the first crops
planted in the New England states;
from there is spread to Canada and
became one of the leading grain
crops. Later it came into the north
west and on down to the mountainous
portions of the United States. The
last movement of the pea is that it
has been grown in the south as a
winter crop being used to plow un-
der and for pasture. The seed is not
matured there and this makes the
south a good seed market for us.
Mr. Thomas has devoted a great
deal of time to experimentation with
peas at San Accacio. He became
satisfied that we had five or six diff
ferent varieties among the common
Mexican peas. From observations on
time of blossoming 1t was discovered
twenty to twenty-five days earlier
than others. This matter was taken
up by experimental stations, county
agents and prominent growers in the
north and west and by the Bureau of
Forage Crop Investigation of Wash
ington and as much information as
10 la tpiy tn rAr,f
varieties and their yield. Seed of
approximately 100 varieties was OBJ
tanned from these sources and plant
ed in this valley this year in order
to see if some of the varities were
better suited than the mixture we
are now growing. These have beer
grown under all different valley
conditions and while one years tes
cannot determine the best varietis
the results have brought out some
valuable hints cne of which is tina
no one variety is best for all con
ditions, but certain varieties are bes
for certain soil conditions. An eff
fort was made to find three types o
peas, 1st, very early pea for earl!
hog feed; then, End, rs mono of tn,
extremely early peas are heav.
yielders, we want a medium early

we can find the peas desired excep
