OF INTEREST TO FARMERS
Otero County Agricultural Associa :
tion Notes Compiled and Con-
tributed by Secretary Miller

The subject for the regular
meeting of Saturday will be "The
Best Methods of Growing Cucum-
bers," and the subject committee
has arranged for speakers who
have had experience.
BY vote of the board of direc-
tors the bylaws have been sus-
pended until May first, sofar as
the dues are concerned, and if paid
before that time will cost but one
dollar. A good time to pay them
is directly after you read this.
A lot of seed, chick feed, lumber
and other articles will be sold at
the annual auction of the associa-
ton to be held at the room on
Saturday at l 80 p. m.
There is no question Whatever
but what good farm help is going
to be scarce the coming season
and the wise farmer will hire the
first really good hand that comes
along. The labor bureau of the
association has been conducted for
four seasons and this is the first
season that we have not been over
run with men seeking employ
ment, but this year it Is different
and there are very few applications
from really good men and most of
those out of employment now are
those who are always looking for
work and are terribly afraid that
they will find it. Labor condi-
tions are entirely different from
anything known in the past five
years and farm hands will soon be
at a premium.
The talk given by j. g.. Lill at
the special meeting held last Sat
urday was based ON figures COM
piled from. the answers received
from the best growers to whom
questions were ent early in the
fall, and were most interesting,
showing the difference in the meth
ods of, the preparation of the soil,
Of planting, cultivation and har-
vesting, all of which WAS very in
structive to the good number of
growers present.

TEN DOLLAR HOGS
Is the Prediction for This Week
Another New High Top Is Re-
ported on Lambs-Steers Firm

Kansas City Stock Yards, March
81. Cattle sold stronger last
week after Tuesday, the advance
due to smaller supplies at all
points. Stockers and feeders sold
higher all week, the feature dur
ing the week il this trade being
several sales of heavy feeders,
1850 to 1900 lbs. at $3.50 to So. so.
Receipts today are 10000 cattle,
and prices are strong to 10 higher,
There was another good run from
Colorado and prices realized were
equal to the best time this year,
sales ranging mostly from $3.50 to
50. .25, some plain rough steers at
SS.I5, Colorado stockers at S7.75
to So. Colorado COWS 81. .25 to$7. rs,
bulls S6.S5 to $3.50. Veal calves
broke half a dollar today, best now
around SO.
Hogs sold stronger last week
and again today. Receipts $500
today. a new high top was made,
at $3.50, bulk of sales highest yet
reached, at $3.50 to 500. Light
h hogs are selling strong, relatively,
up to S9.70, and pigs bring $3.50
to 1925, finding good outlet to
stock hog plants located adjacent
to the stock yards. The supply
shows signs of failing, and ten
dollar hogs this week are freely
predicted for this market. Big
shipments abroad and heavy con-
sumption at home are making the
hog market exceptionally firm.
Sheep and lambs sold 10 higher
today, another new high top re-
corded on lambs, at $1l. .65, other
sales at S11 60. No fancy ewes
were here, but they are quotable
up to $500, all these prices high
est ever recorded here. Receipts
were 1000 head today, and the ont
look is for light runs at this
market, supply sources having be-
come practically exhausted. To-
days receipts include sheep and
lambs from IA wide territory,
Colorado to Texas, and the inter-
mediate states, and the small total
suggests extreme scarcity.

DRY Law GREAT Piece OF LEGISLATION
Says Governor Carlson at the Community
Welfare Conference in La Junta
Last Week

Governor Carlson is his speech at the

lamented the lack of interest which oiti-

issues of Importance and propositions for
substantial reduetionin operating expens-
es in state departme nts received pract-

governor believes that the solution lies
in using public men and others of practical
knowledge to a greater extent IN the
education of children, according to the
La Junta Tribune.
"Our greatest interest is in those things
for which we make the greatest sacrifice"

LINEUP COMPLETE
Rocky Ford Has Fast Aggregation
of Ball Tossers

of Ball Tossers
Manager Fred Knause of the Rocky
Ford Cubs returned from Denver on
Monday with the good news that he
had been successf ul on his scouting trip
for ball players and hat the lineup with
which he will start the season is now
completed.
Only three members of last year S
pennant winners will start the season
this year. George Maxwell will be
back on first base, Eddie Smith will
again hold down short stop and Joe
Goblin will preside over third base.
This trio of original. Rocky Ford boys
have been the leading infielders in the
Arkansas Valley league for the past
two years and to large extent it was
thru their brilliant fielding and timely
hitting that we won the pennants the
past two. seasons.
Frank Campbell, who last year starr
ed with the Nebraska State league has
returned his signed contract as catcher.
Campbell is a six-footer, weighs 1876 lbs,
and is a good hitter as well as a re-
ceiver.
On the pitching staff will be Jim Re
nell and Perry Williams. Renell, who
is now timekeeper at the local sugar
plant, was one of the star twirlers of
the A. V. league last season and it was
thru his effective work for the Fort
Lyon team against Rocky Ford that it
took the last game of the season to
decide the championship. Perry Will
Jams, who is now practicing law in this
city, was a member of the University
of Colorado team last year and has also
pitched for number of the best teams
in the northern part of the state.
Minor Harwood, II year old boy of
Denver, has been secured for second base
and Manager Knause says he will be
the big surprise of the team. Har-
that has been turned out of Denver for
some time; he is a sure hitter and a
fast fielder.
In the outfield will be Art Moore and
"Chuck" Cochran of Denver and Art
Kuehn of Pueblo. Moore was men,
ber of the Stahl & Dean team of Dem
yer last year and was one of the stand
bys of the club. Cochran has played
with number of the best teams in
Northern Colorado and this year was
rendered contract with the Oklahoma
state league. Art Kuehn is known to
most of the fans of the Arkansas Val
ley as being a hard hitter and speedy
fielder.
With this aggregation of ball tossers
signed up we now have one of the fast
est teams that has ever played in the
valley and they will make the other
teams of the league move some if they
keep in running distance.
The players will report for duty not
later than April Is, and an exhibition
will be played here on April l6, prob
ably with t. Pueblo team. The fans are
showing lots of pep, the soliciting
committee is being received with open
arms and baseball will soon have the
right-of-way and we will be off for the
1916 tussle for the pennant.

WATER SUIT

But Favorable Action is Look
ed for in Near Future
KANSAS COMPANY
SUBMIT PROPOSITION
Arkansas Valley Ditch Association
Presents Proposed Kansas Colo
RADIO Compromise

IduO compromise
At meeting of the Arkansas
Valley Ditch association in La
Junta last Thursday report up
on the long standing Kansas Col
orado water suit was the incen-
tive for full representation from
each ditch company comprising
the association.
Attorney Goodale and Senator
Hasty of Lamar, represented that
portion of the valley; j. N. Beatty,
j. G. Vroman and others from
Manzanola, represented the Catlin
canal; Messrs Haines, Delong,
Weiland and Sickenberger were
looking after the interests of the
High Line canal; Messrs Cover,
Morrison, Noble, Taylor and
Devine represented the Rocky
Ford ditch; Attorney Lambright,
Fl. A. Dubbs and Frank Kreybill
of Las Animas. and John Wash
burn of La Junta, represented the
Fort Lyon canal; Judge Voorhees,
of Pueblo represented the Bob
Greek canal; w. l.. Hartman
represented the Twin Lakes prop
osition. A. A. Welland, state en-
gineer, and Frank Beach, Cover
nor Carlson's appointee rs COM
missioner of tie second water dis
trict of Colorado were also in at
tendance. -
1t was reported by the ditch
association attorneys-Platt Rog-
ers of Denver, w. l.. Hartman of
Pueblo and Fred A. Sabin of La
Junta-that four of the five Kan
sas companies who are parties in
the suit had agreed to the terms
of the compromise settlement, and
prolonged discussion showed
that it was favored by almost the
entire attendance at the meeting,
in fact the vote that the PROPOSE
ton should be presented to the
several companies composing the
Arkansas Valley Ditch association
was unanimous, and the matter of
settlement will now be mp to the
individual stockholders for their
approval or rejection.
1t would take almost a page of
this paper 10 give the complete
terms of the proposed settlement,
but the gist of it is that the Kan
sas parties agree TO drop this suit
and bring no future action for
like cause providing that the Col
orado defendants will pay stipu-
lated sum and agree to liberate
the same proportionate amount of
water thru the Arkansas river as
was crossing the Colorado state
line at the time the suit was brot,
in the year 1910.
AS considerably more than the
sum asked would have to be eX-
pended by the defendants if the
case should be allowed to come TO
trial and it would be many years
before the suit would be finally
disposed of, it is expected that
the ditch companies and parties
Interested will-before the expira-
tion of the 12O days allowed
agree to the terms of the compro-
mise settlement.
