The Paonian

The Paonian
Nearly $50 farmers, fruit growers, and
stoekmen responded to the call for a
meeting in Crooks hall last Saturday
afternoon In brief, the situation pre-
sented was this: there are now in the
vicinity of Psonia many good-sized tracts
Of range land included in the Battlement
and Gunnison National Forests which
are not in requisition by the cattlemen
Large flockmasters have taken steps to
secure the right to Craze sheep by the
scores of thousands on these unused areas
and there is reason to believe that per
n ission will be granted unless it is quickly
shown that the owners of land adjoining
the Forests need whatever profit may
be derived from the unused resources.

AT least seventy-fve lumbermen and
others interested in the business are ut
work this winter in cutting timber
around the Pitkin hills" said a recent
visitor from that section to the News
Champion Monday. This lumber is
practically all going out to Cripple
Creek and other distant points. 1t
seems q shame TO see our mountains de-
nuded Of timber under this forest re-
serve system. This timber will shortly
be needed for our own building end
mining operations, but ! suppose each
forestry Office must make . good show

which il takes $50 to 800 years to grow
srs Slaughtered and the county robbed
of its wealth to feed bureaucracy at
Washington. To be sure, it furnishes
occupation for local citizens when times
are dull. but that is little comfort when
we see the ultimate loss.

College:
Field peas is a crop that thrives best
during the cool parts of the growing
season. II does best in the higher slti-
tudes where the early season growth is
cool and the nights are cool On this
account the best results from growing
field peas are obtained with early spring
seeding. Field peas should be planted
just as early in the spring as they can
be put into the ground Frequently it
is advisable to fall pillow land in prepara-
ton for field peas in order that ex-
tremely early seeding can be done.
Seeding may be done IN February if the
ground is thawed enough To permit-if
