Telluride Examiner:-In the actual
report of the city managers of Grand
Junction is one item that is simply as
tonishing. There were l09 prosecutions
for drunkenness Think of it Drunk
ness where liquors and the sale of
liquors have been barred for months
over five years. The number is appal-
ling when one realizes that ditch water
is all they drink down there. And how
they ever manage to get drunk on ditch
water is the mystery.

4 MANURE sPREDER /
GREAT ECONOMY on Farm
Field and Farm

Field and Farm
l never like to encourage the buying
of machinery when it is not needed, but
with the amount of manure that some
of our farmers have to take out, and
the amount Of time required to do it, .
manure spreader becomes a great econ
omy. have found that q good manure
spreader will do better work than the
most painstaking hand work can unless
of course a great amount of time is put
on the job-an amount that no hired
man will ever put there any more than
will but few farmers themselves. But
this is not all. Thinly spread manure
on more acres pays any quantity better
than dumping it thickly on q few acres,
as so many good farmers have been do
ing. This is particularly true in dry sea
sons and in this arid region for reasons
which nearly all farmers of any expert
ence need not be told. The time to haul
out the manure is whenever it is ready
and the spirit is willing.

FARMERS SHOULD PLANT
D|c POTATO CROP non
Exchange


Everywhere around the country, peo-
pie are saying that potatoes are cheap,
therefore they will not plant 50 many
this year and most of them will put in
other crops instead. The wise ones will
plant more spuds and at the same time
forget sugar beets at $500 . ton
There is more money in spuds even at
50 cents . GENITAL and this is q pretty
low figure in . ten year period. We
would plant many acres of spuds and
put in more seed when it is cheap, be-
cause thus We stand to get a bigger
crop and . better price on the average,
for the other fellows are leesening the
acreage by five or ten per cent or more.
When the market ends in . grand
bulge At sl.50 . GENITAL IN April, it is
dead easy to sell seed at 25. for the
growers have the money or will borrow
it and jump in to grow . big crop. On
the other hand when potatoes close the
season At SO cents. almost nobody will
pay Is cents for the finest seed . man
ever saw.
Our farmers should see the necessity
Of liberal planting in days like these,
for there is bound to be . short crop all
over Europe this year and even famine
may claim its own.

have before me an article IN Kim
balls Dairy Farmer of recent date. In
this article he states that there are
sll. 75 worth of fertilizing constituents
in each ton of alfalfa hay fed on the
farm. 1t would pay one just TO keep
stock to eat up the hay and replace the
manure to produce large crops of grain
and potatoes. In the east they pay $50
to $50 for commercial fertilizer with
which to maintain the fertility of their
farms.
1t is too bad that Colorado buys but
ter from her neiphboring states and
then sells them hay. The railroads and
mfddlemen get the cream of the busi-
ness
Hugh G. Van Pelt an expert in dairy
matters, says that any COW on earth
will pay more than $500 per ton for
alfalfa hay. This is my theory too. |
have always believed in dairying for
this valley and still believe in it.
We must come to realize that it is far
better to market butter at $500 a ton
than to sell alfalfa hay at 400 or SIS. 90
per ton.
The dairy business is the one branch
of agriculture where the fertility of the
soil is best maintained. The selling of
milk, cream and butter really takes
very little fertility from the farm. The
robbery is very insignificant in compar-
ison with selling grain, potatoes or hay.
In the east there are farmers who
no more think of selling a pound of hay
or grain to be consumed off their farm
than they would consider cutting off
their right arm.
The era of four and five dollar alfalfa
hay must speedily pass into oblivion.
The period of higher priced sheep and
cattle products for years can and must
afford to do better by the farmer. who
bears the burden all along the line.

Arredondo was slated to appear off,
